Do you just forget that we were in combat with them already?? And it wasn't a joke. It was a threat he made to get them to comply with our demands, which is hardly uncommon.
I can't believe anyone would get their panties in a twist over threats made against "Death to the Great Satan/Burn in the Lake of Fire" Iran, which has been steadily killing Americans for decades now.
I don’t recall any other President threatening publically to wipe out the entire enemycivilization while in war.
Please cite examples of world leaders threatening to wipe out the entire enemy civilization. Include citiations that can be easily verified.
You wrote that he never intended to carry through. This means the threat was a joke. You don’t joke about wiping an entire civilization.
Now you said it wasn’t a joke and just a threat. You don’t threaten and you don’t joke.
