This is Trump’s threat to Iran if Iran does not do what he wants, whatever that is. Our ignorant and crazed President is talking like Genghiz Khan or Tamurlaine. Or, maybe he’s re-enacting the God of the Old Testament threatening Sodom and Gomorrah, for Trump likes to think he is God.

If Trump levels Iran, Iranian civilization will not die. No, but the United States will die. Trump and other kill-crazies in his administration want to bomb Iran into the stone age, the very thing Gen. Curtis Lemay threatened to do to Japan, and Lemay followed up with the fire-bombing of Tokyo and the destruction of Hiroshima and Nagasaki. The U.S. has long pretended that we are the “good guys,” and that our boys do not commit war crimes, and that our hands are not dripping with blood. Trump will, if he gets his way, tear off the mask of decency.
