'This Is Just Not How the Human Race Should Operate,' Says US Senator
- xvxvx 6mo agoI’m legit taken aback at how this isn’t the biggest news in decades. Trump is insane. These threats, and his claim not to care about being called a war criminal, are so obscene it’s hard to fathom. Yet it barely makes the news.

- srean 6mo agoTrump is not insane. He is self serving. Monitor his and Kushner's portfolio.
- maplethorpe 6mo agoIt might be hard for people in other countries to fathom, but Americans, by and large, want this.
- DougN7 6mo agoThat is not true. Half or more of us are disgusted. His supporters will say it’s just his bluster and didn’t expect him to follow through. It’s sickening.
- RajT88 6mo agoI stick with Nate Silver on how to weight and average the polls. https://www.natesilver.net/p/iran-war-polls-popularity-approval https://www.natesilver.net/p/iran-war-polls-popularity-appro... 53.8% disapproval
- mostlysimilar 6mo ago38% approval, roughly the same percentage of people who will support anything Trump does.
- cassianoleal 6mo ago> Yet it barely makes the news. Where is this? I'm seeing this in the news everywhere! News media websites, TV, social media... It's been by far the thing I saw the most during all of yesterday.

- RickJWagner 6mo agoThey should show Murphy’s statements before the first US bombs dropped. Iran had executed 40,000 of its own citizens. This presented an exceptional quandry for the US president. Sit by and do nothing, or try to stop it? Trump publicly mulled the issue for weeks, which was the time for fair discussion on the issue. Those that opposed bombing Iran ( at that time ) now have a legitimate platform to criticize Trump. Those that remained silent should be silent still.
- Zigurd 6mo agoIs that 40,000 number going to turn out to be the nurse Nayirah of Iran? Does that number come from a credible NGO? Is there a mass grave in a known location? Grieving mothers? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nayirah_testimony https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nayirah_testimony
- RickJWagner 6mo agoThat is a fair question. Here is the Wikipedia page for the issue ( though Wikipedia is also suspect ). https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2026_Iran_massacres https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2026_Iran_massacres
- vaadu 6mo agoMurphy is the typical ignorant politician. Iran has been chanting Death to America since 1979 and was on the verge of getting a nuke. 9/11 happened because we failed to act when we had the chance to take out UBL in the 90's. Trump is not waiting for us to get nuked. His actions are simple self-defense by putting the Persians back in charge in Iran. So oil prices go up for a month, big deal. The world will be FAR safer when that terrorist regime is gone.
- DerArzt 6mo agoWhy does America need to act as world the world police? America's interventionism is a big part of what has lead to the current Iran Government.
