A whole civilization will die tonight, never to be brought back again. I don’t want that to happen, but it probably will.
--Donald J. Trump, April 7, 2026
Also probably wondering, "Would he really do it?" -- along with some of the rest of us! It might occur to us that this time he boxed himself in so tight, delivering such dire ultimatums that can't be retracted without the great risk of looking like ... well, a 'toon.
If he does tonight what he promised this morning, it will be the end of him. The people of the United States are not going to tolerate it, finally -- Trump's final solution -- and the world will rise up in horror and condemnation. Arrest warrants from the World Court. That kind of thing. Talk about being boxed in! But he was never going to follow through on the threat. The threat was as empty as he is.
Another possibility -- and quite an attractive one for Trump, because he's a cold-blooded liar -- would be to claim some concession from the Iranians, whether one exists or not, and forestall hell on earth through some fiction that at least sounds plausible. Even MAGA true believers might heave a sigh of relief, while the liberals will all be slapping their knees and chortling "TACO!"
And finally, the remote possibility that the Iranians actually cave, because they haven't seen enough Hollywood endings.

Now it remains to be seen if the USA can restrain Israel in their Sampson Option, the suicidal use of nuclear weapons. It is difficult to see how the

They cannot surpass this incompetence or surprise anyone any more.
If Humanity survives China has won. That would not be a bad outcome.
NBC, ABC and the PBS Newshour uniformly reported (I boycott SeeBS)
that the CeaseFire is still holding Thursday evening. (an obvious lie) Meanwhile Melania
