Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi spoke from Tehran in an exclusive interview with “NBC Nightly News” anchor Tom Llamas.

Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi said Thursday that his country is ready for a ground invasion by American troops as the war launched by the United States and Israel has quickly spread across the region. He also refused any negotiations with the U.S. and said that Iran had not asked for a ceasefire.

His comments came after the U.S. and Israeli militaries began a sweeping attack on Iran on Saturday, which decimated its military defenses and killed its top authority, Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei.

    Also the Americans were pretty pivotal in the D-Day landings that ended up with the liberation of Europe.

    They also pushed the North Koreans from the Pusan Perimeter in the south east pretty much all the way back to the Chinese border during the Korean war after the North Koreans invaded the south. Before the Chinese got involved of course and pushed the Americans back down to the 38th parallel at obscene expense.

    There’s probably more

      Iraq - had a lot of help from allies
      D-day - had a lot of help from allies
      Korea - had a lot of help from allies

      Now do all the wars where the USA got their ass kicked. Especially the ones they fought by themselves. Americans are extremely bad at wars - historical fact.
