Trump's apocalyptic rhetoric echoes nuclear annihilation : Comments
By Alon Ben-Meir, published 21/4/2026Trump's warning that 'a whole civilization will die tonight' was more than bluster-it was a reckless invocation of nuclear destruction that shattered diplomatic norms and reignited questions about his fitness to command American power.

Trump was throwing a tantrum because he's been advised there is no military solution.
He tried bombing Iran into submission, air force plan didn't work. He's probably been told that amphibious landing won't work either, and the only safe naval thing he can do is a blockade. There's no army invasion solution, they don't have enough troops or the ability to fight a long ground war. So all he can do is bomb or blockade, neither of which will achieve anything in a hurry. Meanwhile, Trumps got global economic issues constraining him with the closure of the Strait of Hormuz and Gulf allies calling him constantly who are rethinking their relationship with the U.S. and the longer the economic problems persist the worse they'll get, and if Trump can't find an off-ramp that allows him to save face, he's going to lose the House in the midterms, and may also lose the Senate as well, if these things happen Trump will spend the last 2 years up on impeachment charges. There's no way out for Trump, Iran holds the Strait of Hormuz card. Posted by Armchair Critic, Wednesday, 22 April 2026 1:11:12 AM

What do I do with this comment from ttbn?
ttbn, you recently complained that others respond to your comment instead of the article. - That's because people are more outraged by what you say that what the author says. 'Trump is not allowed to say something silly every now and again and be forgiven for it; that privilege and understanding is only available to Trump-haters.' TDS? This isn't a bunch of feminists being outraged by Trump's 'Grab em by the pussy' comments or crazed antifa lunatics screaming and rampaging when Trump's electoral victory. Trump and Israel started an illegal war of aggression based on another pack of lies like Saddam's WMD's, for Israel. You whinge when others criticise you, but you defend Trump when he says ridiculous things, but this time Trumps bs isn't harmless. He's doubled the price of diesel all across the planet and created shortages of oil, urea, hydrogen; cost Aussies jobs and food on the table, poorer countries will fare worse. It's a price everyone has to pay, at the fuel pump, and the Woolies register, in EVERYTHING, because the price of BORROWING MONEY has increased because of inflation, which is caused by energy price shocks. And that's if you're not sent over there to die, for a war Trump should never have started because he can't finish it, because he's a blackmailed pedo and Netanyahu's child murdering poodle. The whole entire PLANET has to pay for Trumps bs. You defend him? How about you start paying everyone reparations? Anyone who thought attacking Iran was a good idea should PAY UP. Open up your wallets, then you might think differently. I look at these Americans. Whinging because the price of a gallon of fuel went up a dollar. Well the price of a litre of diesel almost doubled for us, they helped to empty my wallet, so Americans can shut their damn mouths. Their stupid war cost everyone else more than it costs them. They even make more money from selling more oil at a higher price. While the world counts the costs, Trumps counting profits. Posted by Armchair Critic, Wednesday, 22 April 2026 3:20:03 AM

They're are even making millions off oil price volatility placing bets to short the resource minutes prior to Iran war announcements..
While we pay for it, they profit from it. Posted by Armchair Critic, Wednesday, 22 April 2026 9:10:41 AM

As with much Trump says, his dedicated opponents look to deliberately mispresent his words and then assert that the misrepresentation is somehow fact. And then all the gullible TDS followers fall into line.
When Trump was talking about the end of a civilisation, he was referring to the end of the Islamist society that Iran has become. Thinking that he was talking about nuking the place is just bonkers. But then much of what the TDS crowd says is bonkers. Trump is sitting pretty as regards the war. The power factions within Iran are now at each other's throats to the point where they can't even arrive at a consensus response to the challenge that the war presents the regime. Hence their refusal to negotiate and their on again off again threats about Hormuz. Trump won't send US soldiers into Iran proper since that would result in some American deaths and he wants to avoid unnecessary causalities. But if things drag on then occupying some of the islands of the coast of Iran proper is likely. In the meantime, the blockade against Iran is slowly strangling their economy and in the end, when the IRGC's foot soldiers can no longer be paid, then its all over for the leadership.

Trump is not allowed to say something silly every now and again and be forgiven for it; that privilege and understanding is only available to Trump-haters.
The Trump-haters are only ‘internationally outraged’ because Trump said it. We don't hear anything from them when the mad mullahs make outrageous statements, and even murder tens of thousands of the members of their own civilisation.
The more dangerous Islam becomes, the more Donald Trump is blamed for it, even by the new useful idiot on the block, Pope Leo.
Amnesty International! Give me a break. They were leading architects in handing over Rhodesia to the murdering despot, Robert Mugabe.
Alon Ben-Meir's rant is just an excuse to continue abusing Donald Trump. He admits that the Iranian thugs themselves don't take Trump seriously.
Most Trump-haters don't give a fig about Iranians, nor the threat Islam is to them as well the rest of us. No. It's all about politics and trying to tear down the only leader for a long time who is capable of saving the West and their sorry, ungrateful arses.
