Meanwhile, dozens were injured by Iranian strikes in Israel, as Tehran targeted a nuclear site.

Donald Trump threatened Iran in a Truth Social post Saturday evening, warning that the U.S. would target the nation’s power plants if the Strait of Hormuz remained closed.

“If Iran doesn’t FULLY OPEN, WITHOUT THREAT, the Strait of Hormuz, within 48 HOURS from this exact point in time, the United States of America will hit and obliterate their various POWER PLANTS, STARTING WITH THE BIGGEST ONE FIRST!” Trump wrote in the post.

Approximately 20% of the world’s oil passes through the the Strait of Hormuz, a critical trade route. Iranian attacks on ships in the area have seen the area essentially close to maritime traffic, while oil prices have soared globally.

    Tomorrow you wake up American. You are the same person, nobody asked your permission, you had no say in the matter, but you are within the borders of America, are a citizen, and have no other citizenship. In fact, because you are American, no country will take you, and even if they would, it would take years up emigrate.

    What do you do?

      More than Americans have, presumably. All this US apologia is fucking hilarious, you guys elected a pedophile. Fuck off with this “not all americans” bullshit. Do something about it, or youre a pedo protector, simple as. If you dont like the entire world hating you, dont commit evil shit as a country.

      To be clear, i am American. We all deserve every bit of hate the world can muster.

          I feel like people should be able to muster up extra hate for each country that needs it. Hopefully your hatred for one doesnt reduce your hatred for the other.

        I’m confused, are you American or not?

        It seems like you wrote most of the comment being not an American (emphasis added):

        More than Americans have, presumably. All this US apologia is fucking hilarious, you guys elected a pedophile.

        …then you said you were an American.

        It’s fine if you’re not an American. But just engage in good faith please.

      The options are run or fight.

      And your scenario seems to eliminate run as an available option.
