Genocide is the partial or total destruction of a human group, committed intentionally.

God bless the great people of Iran whom I'm about to exterminate!

Won't someone rid the world of this meddlesome president?

If he were as 0.1% as intelligent as he thinks he is he might understand he and his threats are the exact reason Iran has no incentive to do anything but fight until the death despite everything cause what else do they have to lose if they're going to die anyway. He's kicked a hornets nest and after being swarmed keeps threatening to kick the now empty hive again

It never occured to him or his handlers that Iran could have been blocking the Strait all along for the past several decades. And the ONLY reason they are doing it now is because of his incredible arrogance, selfishness, and insanity And of course the Epstein files

Admitting war crimes in advance, threatening genocide and Americans are all okay about this it seems.

Tempting to think this, but of course not true. But hey don’t let the truth get in the way of a good story

I think he's preparing a taco with that "now that we have regime change" there.
