Donald Trump sidesteps a question about whether attacking infrastructure would violate the Geneva Conventions, instead saying Iran “won’t have nuclear weapons” before calling the reporter “fake news.”

We're less than 9 hours away from the president's threat to destroy a civilization and commit war crimes, and this is what Fox News is focusing their coverage on.

Bret Baier: "I just got off the phone with the president. He called. He said '8pm is happening. If we get to that point, there is going to be an attack like they have not seen.' He's sticking to that at this point."

Marjorie Taylor Greene joins Alex Jones in calling for Trump to be removed via the 25th Amendment.

JD Vance: "We have got to get Viktor Orban reelected as prime minister of Hungary, don't we?"

Footage captured from a passenger plane over Dubai shows Iran’s ballistic missiles being launched toward Israel.

Completely unstable and perilous. The House must bring up impeachment articles, and the Senate needs to remove a president who wants to commit war crimes. We cannot sit idly by as Donald Trump threatens to end an entire civilization.

Threatening to destroy "a whole civilization" in between posting about Fox News personalities and addressing a European audience by phone to endorse its autocratic leader.

“It comes down to this: The press, because of its own conventions and time-honored practices, normalizes him, and thus fails to get across the extreme nature of this president’s behavior. Ten years of sane-washing have had their effect. He remains in power, reelected, undeterred.”

"The common sense of mankind demands that law shall not stop with the punishment of petty crimes... It must also reach men who possess themselves of great power and make deliberate and concerted use of it to set in motion evils which leave no home in the world untouched." —Robert Jackson, Nuremberg

Trump Call to Astronauts Goes Viral After Awkward, Minute-Long Pause: ‘Quick Comms Check’

As Moscow benefits from soaring oil prices and an easing of U.S. sanctions as a result of the war in Iran, Ukraine is trying to offset the windfall by escalating strikes on Russian oil assets.

Trump faces a momentous decision on a tight timeline: carry out his threat to obliterate Iran beginning at 8pm or delay the deadline again to give negotiations a chance. "The president is the most bloodthirsty, like a mad dog,” a U.S official tells Axios.

🤷‍♂️

As President Trump renews his threats to bomb “the entire country” of Iran, he is using religious terms to justify the costly, unpopular U.S.-Israeli war that has killed thousands of people, claiming that “God wants to see people taken care of.”

As Iran war exposes global dependence on fossil fuels, the biggest emitters are reaping the rewards

Ukraine wouldn't benefit from such a course of action. The real beneficiaries would be & arguably already are Putin & the Kremlin, & Viktor Orbán his CORRUPT pet puppet president who's losing in the Magyar polls. Meanwhile they already cause suspicion about Serbia & risk pushing them towards Russia.
