Journalist Spencer Ackerman: "A whole civilization will die tonight" is the most vile thing a US president has ever said [View all]

“A whole civilization will die tonight” is the most vile thing a US president has ever said, certainly during the post-1945 era when they’ve had the power to kill civilizations with the dropping of a bomb. I’m staring into the darkness. May this not be one of the most fateful days in human history.
