Trump on twitter :

 

....targeted 52 Iranian sites (representing the 52 American hostages taken by Iran many years ago), some at a very high level & important to Iran & the Iranian culture, and those targets, and Iran itself, WILL BE HIT VERY FAST AND VERY HARD. The USA wants no more threats!

 

hundreds of Iranian protesters. He was already attacking our Embassy, and preparing for additional hits in other locations. Iran has been nothing but problems for many years. Let this serve as a WARNING that if Iran strikes any Americans, or American assets, we have.

 

Iran is talking very boldly about targeting certain USA assets as revenge for our ridding the world of their terrorist leader who had just killed an American, & badly wounded many others, not to mention all of the people he had killed over his lifetime, including recently....

 

As hard as I work, & as successful as our Country has become with our Economy, our Military & everything else, it is ashame that the Democrats make us spend so much time & money on this ridiculous Impeachment Lite Hoax. I should be able to devote all of my time to the REAL USA!

These are very worrying tweets. This shows a clear picture of mental instability. This would be a escalation we could not come back from. Also, hitting cultural and civilian targets is a big no, and quite honestly a war crime in my book. Should this happen (I’m positive it won’t, but you can never be sure with Trump) it would be grounds for a third article of impeachment, and tread us dangerously towards war with Iran, and chaos on the home front.

It was very clear that is was a targeted assassination against a target that killed many Americans, just attacked u.s soil, and had direct plans to kill more Americans. He was very clear that he's not going to a war with Iran, Iran also have no interest in that, because in that kind of war they will stand no chance (against US, or against Israel). So people should really stop with the ridiculous protests and tweets. We killed 1 terrorist, no one is going to war, there will be no world war 3

But then why the b***** F*** does he feel the need to tell everybody on Twitter that he is ready to commit war crimes?

And just after he has told that he respects the Iranian people and their heritage... That he is apparently ready to attack?

 

There are plenty of ways to reach Iran. Twitter is simply NOT one of the right ones. Just makes me think of Crocodile Dundee

Let's see what he wrote

 

"Iran is talking very boldly about targeting certain USA assets as revenge for our ridding the world of their terrorist leader who had just killed an American, & badly wounded many others, not to mention all of the people he had killed over his lifetime, including recently hundreds of Iranian protesters.

Was Soleimani this benevolent leader he suddenly made to be? or was he a terrorist who did attack US Soil (embassy=soil) and killed many others including his own country, and after his death many celebrated on the streets of Iraq and Iran because he was that evil.

 

Now what exactly does he say wrong? does he say that he's about to press the button? no.... he's saying that if they will attack U.S bases he will retaliate, is that wrong? are we suppose to just let them attack and do nothing? there should be a measure of intimidation and understanding of what will happen if there will be an attack.

He is literally saying he is ready to commit war crimes. Does it really need to be spelled out?

Trump is literally saying they have targeted (and so one can assume are ready to attack) stuff that is explicitly mentioned in the freaking Geneva Convention as something that consitutes a war crime when attacked. 

 

No, he is not saying "We will attack right now", but he is in every single word making clear he is ready to do so - and commit war crimes in doing so - whenever he gets angry again. Because that's what Trump does: he attacks when he is personally angry. When he watches TV, sees some news items that anger him, and then he goes on another rampage, which in this case might even involve war crimes. 

 

It is really not complicated.

If you'd like to help our fellow Totallympics member Bruna Moura get to the 2026 Winter Olympics, after her car crash on the way to the 2022 Olympics, every tiny bit of help would be greatly appreciated! Full story and how to help can be found here!

He is still threatening with war crimes.

Somebody else doing it does not make it right. The Germans bombing London and other british cities didn't make the bombing of Dresden (and other cities) less of a crime.

It is legal to defend yourself. That could be by hitting military installations that are able to hit you. NOT by attacking the people!

And "The USA wants no more threats!"... Yeah... Let's just threaten you to not threaten us

And once again. He is only writing this on twitter to show how he is the big, strong leader, and showing off with you being prepared to do war crimes, hitting the people (that you apparently very much respect) is not the right thing to brag about! It would be actions worthy of a trip straight to Hague (and don't get me wrong, Soleimani and many others should have been sent there a long time ago)!
Iran knows very well what the US is capable of and knows very well that he is ready to use force. Bragging about it on Twitter doesn't change that the slightest bit!

 

I honestly don't think I've been this disgusted by Trump before (and that says a lot).

so..... it's ok if they attack us? if they do we should just not do anything?

  • Latest Posts around Totallympics

    • That would be fantastic. Mostly I just don't need the sidebar because it makes the experience less good by being distracting and in the way, but the main issue (for me, that is) is seeing content of all kinds of threads.   I'm very glad this wasn't around during the Olympics yet, I would genuinely not have been able to enjoy Totallympics at all then. That was sometimes already somewhat difficult with the never-ending insistence of people to spoil results in threads of other sports, but the current sidebar would have made it very hard (and that would be a shame, because I definitely love and always will love Totallympics ).   Anyhow, we'll see how this develops. And about the clubs: yes, you see the latest posts in the sidebar, but I don't want to see posts in the sidebar at all (and in the case of , the club isn't that active, so for weeks I've basically seen the same 2-3 year old posts). Seeing a changing poll or newly registered users or something, while not ideal to have it in a non-customisable sidebar, is at least less distracting than actual content so less of a problem.   Again, all just my opinion, I can totally imagine other people - probably even a majority - have no issues whatsoever.    
    • Yes, the whole forum is now wider so the "posts" section is almost as wide as before.   The sidebar can be customised anyway so my plan is to add more things in the future, like olympic qualification trackers and other things. I can try to ask for a customised plugin where users can choose what they see in the sidebar, but I am not sure it will be possible.   If you are in a club or not makes no difference on the presence of the sidebar, right? You should just see your club's latest post if you have joined a club, but if you are no part of any club you should still see the sidebar, with the other blocks (like a poll, the latest registered users etc.)
    • So you see the sidebar also from tablet/mobile?
    • Hardly, it was out before the Tokyo Games happened...
    • And watching Artistic Swimming or Ice Dancing you can get impressed with the choreo and the artistic elements... Im just still trying to understand Kata. All seemed the same, all doing the same... why someone won? Cause they shouted more? It was veeeery weird   Not that Kumite was any better. I failed to understand that too.     Karate had it chance and it fumbled the bag pretty hard. Almost as hard as Breaking.
    • Cool to be invited a few days before because Sweden etc declines and then use the opportunity to win everything!
    • We also have artistic swimming and figure skating. Dancing will be a part of the Olympics, even if DanceSport never returns.
    • No, we don't. I know this is even going to keep me away from the forum in the winter, when the winter sports are going on (which I know isn't important, but I find sad for myself ), because it's just unavoidable to see comments and replies in other threads. Might almost as well make it one massive chat room instead of having separate threads...   Anyhow, something changed since last night it seems, the open thread is now at least wider (on desktop/laptop) and the sidebar takes relatively a bit less space, so that's....somewhat better, I guess? It should be a setting though, since I can definitely imagine some people find it useful or even nice, while others don't.   I'm having this sidebar since joining the NED club right before the Olympics, and have found the presence of that bar highly irritating ever since (in such a way that, now that I realize it, I'll leave the club now that the Olympics are done for the sole purpose of having less of the sidebar)   
    • Thinking breakdancing 'changes the essence of the Olympics' is somewhat exaggerated, to be fair. Especially when you consider we already have an Olympic dancing competition that's widely accepted as being part of it (unfortunately), and is called dressage.
    • Singapore is 2 races out from qualifying their first ever skier.
