In the meantime, we have a new Lego clip from Iran state media. They’ve been producing a lot of these lately. I’m surprised that Trump’s media team hasn’t made any response videos. We already know they don’t have any sense of shame or an ounce of integrity. Maybe we could just stop with the IRL war and have a troll-off. Hell, that’s world we live in now. > ---

I suppose it’s _possible_ that the Iranian government realizes that he will do almost anything if you flatter him and he likes shiny things, preferably gold ones. Most world leaders are not so transparent. ---
