Trump issues expletive-laden threat against Iran as details of U.S. aviator's rescue emerge

President Trump on Sunday made new, expletive-laden threats to escalate strikes on Iran if it does not open the Strait of Hormuz by his deadline, following the rescue of a U.S. aviator who was shot down in Iran.

@RealJournalism Please note, #Trump did not only announce that he plans to commit war crimes; strictly speaking, these kinds of threats are already a war crime.

And I know American exceptionalism, yada yada, the USA does not recognize war crimes committed by Americans.

Cough, actually that arms universal jurisdiction on war crimes if the home country of the war criminal refuses to prosecute.

So for the time, the Americans can skate on; nobody wants to piss off the USA today. In a decade?

@yacc143 @RealJournalism Given Trump's age and lifestyle he has very little chance of being alive in a decade. At least Hegseth should be if he doesn't drunk drive a cybertruck into a tree or something.
