“This guy is not serious. How can you say Iran is winning and now you are telling Kofi to pray for you?”
@robertquaicoe614 said:
“America is the peacemaker. At least we’re not ignorant anymore because we know what’s going on.”
@alfredofori4473 stated:
“This dude lied about the ground invasion comments. Iran is 90 million people, so how can 80 million men sign up for ground invasion combat? The male population is around 48 million, and that includes male children.”
@maxtee5113 opined:
“Iran has chanted over and over again, death for Americans and Israelis. They said they would wipe Israel from the map.”
@jaychris28 added:
“All I can say is that for the first time ever, I agree with Trump that Iran had to be attacked with force to keep them from ever getting a nuclear weapon. Evil people with such a weapon would be Armageddon for us all. They only know death, so keeping such weapons out of their hands was a good call.”
