Is this not too much? HN or not, does this not demand the attention of everyone?

  This absolutely demands the attention of every American

  Absolutely. I posted it a while ago but - predictably - it got flagged. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=47674286 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=47674286 The interesting thing is that people do seem to find it.

    It's almost like 'shadow-banned' it's not listed as flagged or dead, but it's also not on the first 4 pages despite https://www.pbs.org/newshour/world/trump-warns-a-whole-civilization-will-die-tonight-if-a-deal-with-iran-isnt-reached https://www.pbs.org/newshour/world/trump-warns-a-whole-civil... being on the 4th page with only 23 points

Yes it’s a despicable regime, but wiping out a “whole civilization” implies all of the innocent people who have done nothing other than having had the misfortune of being born there. Europeans already see the USA as no longer a trustworthy partner. Greenland, abandoning NATO, undermining Ukraine will do that. Asians no longer see the USA as a viable alternative to China. Canada and others talk about alliances between Middle Powers as the future. The damage to America’s international reputation is devastating.

  r/flairedusersonly I mean r/whinysafespacecriers I mean r/hypocrites is up to their usual whining "everyone is a liberal infiltrator" and "clearly trumps just trolling" again: https://old.reddit.com/r/Conservative/comments/1sevwz1/trump_warns_iran_that_a_whole_civilization_will/ https://old.reddit.com/r/Conservative/comments/1sevwz1/trump... I think we should troll a bit whenever we meet magas with jokes such as "I wish to disembowel trump", "nuke Mar a'lago" and so on I am sure they will take it in the good humor its intended to be.
