Has he warned Trump that killing the grand ayatollah would also start a war, since I'm not sure Trump knows that.

Unfortunate but necessary
The revenge on Iran:
If Iran can promise that only Trump would... on second thought, it probably will set bad precedence going forward. It's extremely important our government handles Trump properly but they refuse. 😭
I think trump is a horrible person and vote kamala but yes killing a presidential candidate should be sanctioned in some way. Of course killing thousands of innocent people in gaza should be sanctioned too but our world is too fucked up to do that right now sadly.
In my personal opinion, I'm inclined to think that Trump's death would be a pretty unambiguous positive given the threat he poses, and the number of additional people that will predictably be killed because of his policies. That said, you can't just let a third party kill your political actors, and the negative outcomes of a likely war will dramatically outweigh any good done.
Did cameras manage to catch the overly dramatic wink when he said this?
A total act of war we definitely don't want you to do, anyway here his schedule and a box of .556.
Don't do it!
...And just like that, John Bolton gets an idea...
Shame it wasn't Saudi Arabia mad at him, we'd be sending em saws.
Mixed feelings.
Would it tho?
