you know i think there's there there's an information war that occurs during all of these wars that has been heightened now with social media and social media tactics and i i think you know trump has been trying to kind of portray iran as like this
Almost like everybody's there living in caves and they're not civilized and they're savages and they don't know what's going on in the world and they hate us and hate everybody.
He's trying to put this image out there
But all the things that the Iranian people keep saying and the Iranian regime keeps saying is like, actually, the Iranian people are some of the most educated people.
We're responsible for some of the biggest innovations.
We are trying to make a deal.
And they're saying, look at these bloodthirsty maniacs in the United States who just want to kill and commit war crimes.
And all they have to do to show evidence of that
of the barbarism of what's happening in the United States is showing clips of our leaders, is showing what Donald Trump is saying and showing what Pete Hegseth is saying.
And so I said this, I feel like a few weeks ago, even before the Iran war broke out, as we were seeing Trump do all these attacks on Venezuela and threatened Greenland and everything else that he's been doing.
And what I said is,
I think Trump's vision, his actual doctrine that exists is he thinks the United States is so strong and so powerful that the United States could use brute force to push its way onto anybody in any country and make them submit to our will.
So we're just going to use our force in Greenland.
If you don't like it too bad, we're going to take you over.
Venezuela, if you don't like it too bad, we're going to invade and take you over.
Canada, if you don't like it, we're going to take you over and make you the 51st state.
And so I think he went into this war with that mindset as well.
But he's dealing with a country right now who that has the opposite effect on.
As Donald Trump tries to force his will
on the Iranian people and on the Iranian regime, they're going, we don't want that.
