A nation of 90 million Iranians isn't going to 'surrender' to Donald Trump [View all]

Trump Says There Will Be No Deal With Iran Except Unconditional Surrender

After that, and the selection of a great acceptable leader, we, and many of our wonderful and very brave allies and partners, will work tirelessly to bring Iran back from the brink of destruction, making it economically bigger, better, and stronger than ever before, Trump said Friday morning.

...he's so full of shit, He's not going to get an Iran that's in anyway in American's image or interest by killing more and more with each bomb we drop from the air. And he's not going to get a country of 90 million to agree to install some U.S. puppet.

This isn't about U.S. national security. It's ostensibly a war to take over Iran which is absurd and dangerously delusional.
