Sen. Richard Blumenthal (D-CT) said President Donald Trump will be guilty of a “war crime” if he makes good on his angry Truth Social post threatening to go after Iranian civilian infrastructure. On Sunday, Trump took to social media in a furious outburst, demanding the opening of the Strait of Hormuz and warning of attacks on Iran’s energy infrastructure.

“Tuesday will be Power Plant Day, and Bridge Day, all wrapped up in one, in Iran,” Trump wrote. “There will be nothing like it!!! Open the F*ckin’ Strait, you crazy bastards, or you’ll be living in Hell – JUST WATCH! Praise be to Allah.”

In an interview with CNN’s Dana Bash, Blumenthal expressed concerns about “the stark, hard truth” of Iran’s ongoing capabilities after two U.S. aircraft went down during the ongoing war with Iran.

“Here’s what I think the stark, hard truth is: that the Iranians still have the capacity to attack our aircraft,” Blumenthal said. “Despite the claim and the boasting that we have total superiority and control of the airspace, they still have drones and missiles. We have not destroyed completely their capacity. And the really hard truth is that bombing alone can’t accomplish any of President Trump’s objectives here, whether it’s regime change or controlling the enriched uranium, or giving the Iranian people a chance at changing their regime.”. Blumenthal hypothesized that the U.S. could be on the verge of a ground invasion of Iran.

1. Damn straight.

Just as what Israel did to Gaza, Trump will do to Iran.

WAR CRIMES!!!

2. Does 'Crime' mean anything if there are no consequences?

Certainly have not been any for Trump and the MAGA gang.

The 'rule of law' has given way to the 'Ruler' and justice is now 'Just Us'.

[Justice matters.]

11. Well, Obama/Biden told us to "look forward" about Cheney's TORTURE...

And they "looked forward" ...

3. NSS

Tired of talk.

GODDAMN DO SOMETHING!!!!

[snowybirdie]

5. They all sound very concerned

don't they? How about storming the white house and stopping him?

[orangecrush]

6. Too late for that and that's not how it works

National action in the form of strikes and massive civil disobedience shutting the whole shitshow down does work, storming government buildings is what idiots like MAGA do.

Violence doesn't work.

Unfortunately building this type of movement takes time, is still in the beginning stages ala No Kings.

This is a blitz and perhaps the first stage of a total coup.

4. If ?????

How does he get around the ultimate war crime, already committed, to look for a "possible" war crime" if "he bombs away

[Vinca]

7. While true, he hasn't been held to account for any of his crimes to date, so why would a war crime be different?

[sakabatou]

8. And yet, repukes have done nothing to hold him accountable before.

[BlueMTexpat]

9. He has ALREADY

committed war crimes!

10. And even if so, ANGH. n/t
