The full tweet referenced by the article:

If Iran does anything that stops the flow of Oil within the Strait of Hormuz, they will be hit by the United States of America TWENTY TIMES HARDER than they have been hit thus far. Additionally, we will take out easily destroyable targets that will make it virtually impossible for Iran to ever be built back, as a Nation, again — Death, Fire, and Fury will reign upon them — But I hope, and pray, that it does not happen! This is a gift from the United States of America to China, and all of those Nations that heavily use the Hormuz Strait. Hopefully, it is a gesture that will be greatly appreciated. Thank you for your attention to this matter! President DONALD J. TRUMP

    We have nukes. Trump is desperate for ANYTHING to make his mark. Being the first president since Truman to deploy one would be something I could see him doing.

    He's definitely the sort of guy who would nuke the world just to stay out of prison.

    He is the antichrist. He would turn the world to glass just so nothing could ever enjoy anything ever again.

    But somehow, a large bloc of voters thought a woman of color in a powerauit with a funny laugh was worse, and they decided to sit out 2024. Good job guys! You saved gaza! Gonna save iran and cuba next, right after the primaries and midterms.

    So is the military going to refuse "illegal orders" when he orders them to fire nukes?

    Also if he does use nukes against Iran then Russia would definitely start using them against Ukraine. It will become a free for all.

    He should probably order up 20 more Nobel Peace Prizes for himself.

    I heard they are letting China and Japan through.

    It's almost like if you make deals and then honor those agreements, that people stay amicable.

    It kinda makes you wonder why the fuck they don't just put a big freezer of quick stuff in their cafeteria and just call in kitchen people when this sort of thing happens. They can just restock after the fact instead of risking an obvious indicator of upcoming insanity. Does OMB and DoD not know about the pizza index?

    As long as it doesnt pass its Hold Time for food safety, and the walk on cooler/freezer is below the foodservice temps, it can be re-served the next day. Probably at a discount or even with a note about messing with the pizza index. As the Index has become more common its more important to have fake days to send (reddit) into a frenzy and begin "predicting an imminent action".

    Reddit "predicted" strikes on Iran "totally this weekend" like 2 weeks before it happened based solely on this index. It has value for ongoing operations since staff will do OT for weeks at a time for it, but intermittent spikes while in a ramp up to war aren't gonna be the smoking gun they want it to be.

    Iran hit just a few tankers and the insurers and underwriters immediately cut off coverage for the ships. The ships aren't sailing cause no one will sail without insurance.

    The thing about going all in from the start every time is that you have no means to escalate. All threats become obvious bluffs

    “If you do this then we will keep doing exactly what we are currently doing, but if you stop and work with us on this then we promise to keep doing what we are currently doing.”

    A masterclass in negotiating and de-escalating. We’re not living in a farce.

    If Iran can provoke Trump to put boots on the ground, Iran has practically won.
