As a US citizen, I protest this filthy, bloodthirsty policy statement in the strongest possible terms.

America’s vast influence abroad and at home has depended on our country meaning something other than slobbering brutality.

Shattering that harms all Americans, Conservative and Liberal.

it I had to cite a key moment from Trump's speech, it would be this one. it is a threat not just to the Iranian government but to the Iranian people, and in that sense it contravenes both the international laws prohibiting war and the international humanitarian law that protects civilians

All of the Trump administration's Iran spin is based on the fiction that Obama's nuclear deal wasn't working. I hope the general public recognizes the truth here.
