Nothing says diplomacy like a Twitter ultimatum with a countdown while simultaneously admitting that you are about to commit a war crime.

Thanks for ruining the world, Americans. Holding you all responsible for this.

Civil Energy infrastructure.

"Stop making a oil crisis or we'll make it even worse!"

Iran already replied to the threat saying they'd bomb the gulf's desalinators...what now, you fucking idiot? He really has no notion of what he's done and no ability to think beyond threats and escalation...

Bombing powerplants is an attack on civilians and therefore a war crime.

Who is going to stop this addle-pated pigman?

Fascinating to watch the strategist in chief play three-dementia chess...

Merry war crimes

What even was the official objective of this war in the first place

This mother fucker is going to get us all killed.

>start war against country controlling 20% of oil
>20% of oil is jeopardised
>

The bombings will continue until you like us more than your violent government...seems like a solid plan...

"obliterate", like how he "obliterated" the Iranian's nuclear capabilities last June?

So I should expect they'll be producing at full capacity again in 8 months then? Is that how this works?

Based on what I know about how Trump operates, I'm fully convinced he is just creating an excuse to launch a nuke at someone, either Iran, Cuba, Venezuela, Mexico, Greenland, any country he can. Because that's the one thing he has just been itching to do his entire presidency. Using the special codes to launch a nuclear bomb to prove to the world and to himself that he really is as powerful as God himself.

I am actually willing to bet that we're eventually going to learn that he has already tried at least once but someone has (until now) managed to block it.

Someone is going to get nuked if Trump is not stopped.

Again, going after civilian infrastructure targets rather than military ones. And who gets the contract to rebuild this infrastructure? This douche bag is gonna start a world war because him and his friends will get rich building the bombs, using the bombs, and rebuilding the shit they themselves have blown up. Blown up for the sole reason to make a lot of really rich people even richer. We are all so fucked... Humans, man.

The US seems to want us to be extremely focused on one small part of their war - the Strait of Hormuz. It's all they ever harp on about.

What's the situation across the rest of the theatre? How close is the US to accomplishing it's primary war goals?

Why do they suspiciously want us to ignore everything else and focus on this one international shipping transit lane?

Guess I‘ll hold off watching news and quietly enjoy the little pre WW3 peace time I have.

Who would have though Iran would save America!?

Many people here will accuse the United States of using Israeli tactics and of trying to pull a Gaza on Iran. That's not true.

This time, they're taking a page from the Russian playbook by targeting civilian infrastructure in an attempt to do collective punishment. We can see how much success these tactics have had in the past, and somehow are to believe that it will be different this time.

Give up your only leverage while we horsefuck you or else we will horse fuck you! Brilliant! /s
