It’s called genocide.
It’s called genocide
That word is too large for anyone in maga to know what it means
I know. But the alternative is education camps.
If the stupid US laws don’t persecute this war criminal, international court should. There’s more than enough evidence.
Too bad the US doesn’t recognize the ICC, for obvious reasons
Worse, they proactively passed legislation authorizing the invasion of The Hague in case a US official was ever brought there for war crimes. Thank dubya and the 2002 congress.
Let them try
As an American there is nothing more I’d love too see than this but it’s never going to happen. The best we can hope for is a extremely painful death for him
Openly and directly threatening genocide.
Civilization (noun):The stage of human social and cultural development and organization that is considered most advanced.
The definition Oxford Languages uses is:
“they equated the railroad with progress and civilization”
I hate to say it, but Trump used the correct definition of civilization in regards to his destruction of civilian infrastructure. It doesn’t imply genocide.
That’s not the meaning of civilization he’s using.
The Oxford Learners Dictionary you used also defines one of the meanings as
a society, its culture and its way of life during a particular period of time or in a particular part of the world
That’s the definition he’s using, and it’s definitely genocide.
Lol thank you for teaching that other commenter about how words can have multiple meanings.
Also, if you’re bickering about the definition of ‘civilization’ when you’re talking about what constitutes genocide, you’re probably committing genocide.
Infrastructure can’t “die”. He’s taking about people, their culture, and everything that makes them who they are. He’s not talking about bridges.
I had the same “well technically” thought at first but destroying that much infrastructure will result in some immediate deaths and mass casualties later. So maybe not technically genocide but in reality it’s close.
I’m not sure what my argument is exactly; I looked up the definition of civilization because I was bored and was shocked when Trump’s statement made literal sense.
But there are multiple definitions and he meant another one
He’s referring to the Iranian civilization.
If I ever found myself saying “a whole civilization will die tonight if I don’t get my way”, I think I’d just kill myself. What an utterly disgusting thing to threaten. He is truly devoid of any humanity at this point.
By that point you might need the ghost of christmas past to show a younger you your future
I’ll only negotiate with the ghost of christmas yet to come
Over on /conservative it’s Biden’s fault he has to annihilate a civilisation
Lol what pathetic assholes
I’m looking at the /r/conservative subreddit right now. Of the comments that weren’t removed (and there aren’t that many, that place is a partisan shithole and a comment graveyard), it’s just accusations of Iranian bots, claims that the Democrats are clutching at pearls, and mental gymnastics claiming that this is part of Trump’s playbook…
How many world leaders have you seen make vulgar and genocidal threats like Trump has over the last few days?
How many world leaders have you seen make vulgar and genocidal threats like Trump has over the last few days?
I can think of another one of the criminal, Bibi Netanyahu.
There is not a single genuine person commenting there. Bots and trolls all the way down.
I’ve seen a good amount of people at least saying its a bad look for trump at least… some are still clinging on though… idk…
Will someone please help us remove him? Our people who are supposed to do it are too spineless to try.
Where are the international assassins we see in movies??
This is a pretty straightforward declaration of genocidal intent. If the Americans bomb civilian infrastructure, there is a credible case for accusing them of Genocide in the Hague.
EDIT: Historian Timothy Snyder also identified it as such, pointing that this creates legal liabilities up and down the American state: https://snyder.substack.com/p/the-president-speaks-genocide
There is but then what?
Iran continues to hit back, making us presence in the middle east untenable. israel is destroyed.
- Trump will again chicken out.
- He thought (or made to believe) Regime change in Iran will a walk in the park.
- Given the situation he is currently in, he just wants to save his face by any mean.
- Dropping Nuke is biggest threat he can think of.
- He don’t have the guts to follow it through.
- He will just extend the deadline, or declare himself a winner and left Middle East to its fate.
one would also hope the military would not follow such blatantly illegals orders… but my hope on that is dwindling
https://www.axios.com/2026/04/03/military-officials-ousted-retired-trump-hegseth They are purging people from leadership roles in the military.
Good people don’t join an imperialist army.
This is the man who wanted to nuke a hurricane. He’d love an opportunity to use that shit on people.
He will wake up tomorrow, and forget all about the veiled nuke threats he made a day before.
Tonight both US and Israel will likely hit harder (compared to what we already witnessed before), leaving a long trail of death (of civilians) and destruction of civilian properties and infras.
Tomorrow the pedo president will claim he sent Iran to stone age, and (again) proclaim victory in this war.
I suspect and more hope you’re correct.
He’s going to nuke them ,almost the same words were used moments before the hiroshima bombing
I for one am very thankful for our beautiful Democratic Party, which while all this craziness has entered a fever pitch, they have been loudly and boldly speaking out against this every minute of the day and not focusing on unimportant matters like trying to trash talk Hasan Piker and taking personal vacations to the beach.
Now I’m sincerely hoping it’s gonna be another TACO Tuesday and Trump wimps out at the last second like he always does.
How he hasn’t been 25th Amendmented yet is beyond me…
Real piece of shit.
I’m sure Trump’s spiritual advisor, Kid Rock, will talk him out of this once he’s briefed into the classified plans.
Seriously fuck the USA, the only civilisation that deserves to disappear.
I still cant believe Im on Irans side in a war
Ah, just threatening with some casual genocide. No biggie.
