        The article you posted is from two weeks ago. And it is from a mainstream outlet. And I’ve seen it posted by several others, two weeks ago. You simply posted an old article.

      I think we’re all aware that Iran isn’t the best place in the world and using AI isn’t exactly great either, but at least it’ll piss off Trump and call him out on his bullshit.

        No I get it. And it is refreshing to see at least a few countries troll back at him. But lets be honest. They would be best friends if Trump didn’t need a distraction from the Epstein files and if Iran wasn’t as powerful as it is in the middle east.

          Definitely some horrific stuff going on over there, probably in part thanks to democracies being toppled by the US, pushing back any progressive values having any chance.

          It’s good they’re playing Trump at his own game, not letting the Epstein files be forgotten.

          There’s a lot of states in the US that similarly allow child marriage, but I understand your point.

            That only shows a problem in the US. Not that it is acceptable

              You were directly talking about Trump and Iran being friendly in your comment, so yes, I presumed you were comparing Iran to the US.

      That’s obvious. What is interesting is that Iran is using trump tactics against trump. Fuck 'em both though.

    Anyone has a link to the full video without commentary? The website just has links to itself.

      Also a link that isn’t on some creepy Nazi pedo website?

      It’s gotta feel pretty weird working for Lego and watching this.
