in a prolonged, massive ground war. Most Iranians may (or may not) hate the Ayatollahs, but that doesn’t mean that they don’t see themselves as patriots or that they won’t fight to defend their homeland. I don’t know what sort of red, white and blue psychedelics Trump and his advisers are ingesting, but an invading US ground force WON’T be welcomed as friends. The Irans, both military and civilians alike, WILL fight.

Even if both Trump and Vance vanished into thin air today (6/21/2025), the Iranians are going to hate us for years to come,
