] Dr. Jim: I am not one to normally give the Trump regime any credit for anything, but this is a move of absolute strategic genius. What the regime is doing in Iran in terms of defending American interests can be called nothing else other than pure genius.
[:[00:00:26] There is no single action that can be considered dumber than what they're doing right now. This is what happens when you have failed reality TV stars, and failed part-time news hosts and put them in charge of running. The entire country, but particularly the military. And here's what I mean. How many examples of US foreign adventures do we need to see before we come to the realization that all this does is that it jacks up the debt and kills a bunch of [00:01:00] our citizens, apparently.
[:[00:01:27] while at the same time blowing up our debt and ignoring any and all of the infrastructure concerns that we have in this country, this is what we do. We go on foreign adventures and have unlimited money for bombs, but then we pinch pennies when it comes to taking care of our veterans and taking care of our citizens at home.
[:[00:02:06] Iran as a country is about a third of the size of the us so think of the entire western United States from Oregon to the western border of Texas. That gives you an idea of how big Iran is.
[:[00:02:49] Now, we already know that this regime is hiding the numbers of casualties in this short foreign adventure that they've engaged on, because international reporting [00:03:00] indicates that the casualty and depth toll is far beyond anything that's being reported in the us.
[:[00:03:18] Setting aside the geography of Iran. Let's think about Iran's knowledge of their own territory. They know those mountains backwards and forwards. Think of Afghanistan and the Taliban and rebels in Afghanistan as Iranian light. Because the tribal villagers and the tribal resistance knew those mountains and they chased out the Russians and they chased us out.
[:[00:04:03] Tom Llamas : President Trump has not ruled out boots on the ground in Iran. Are are you afraid of a US invasion in your country?
[:[00:04:12] Tom Llamas : You, you are waiting for the US military to invade the ground troops?
[:[00:04:22] Tom Llamas : So you're saying that, that Iran is ready and willing to take on the US military if there were to be ground troops?
[:[00:04:46] So our, our soldiers are prepared for any scenario. I, I, when I said they, the, we are waiting for them, it didn't mean that we are waiting for, for continuation of the war. No. But we have prepared ourselves. To, to confront with any [00:05:00] scenario, with any eventuality, any possibility, and we know that we can handle that.
[:[00:05:26] The Trump regime realized that they were in over their head pretty early on in this exercise, and as Iran launched their counter attacks via drones and rockets all over US bases in the region, and took out key infrastructure and defense installations,
[:[00:06:11] And the only reason this regime is here and in power is because they were voted in by an even dumber group of people that look at this regime as a group of geniuses. And I wanna remind everybody if this continues and drags out. The question that you have to think about is, are you willing to let your sons and daughters pay the ultimate price so that you can continue to support a pedophile?
