[Vung Tau, 6/22/25]

Last week, I told you about a motorbike taxi driver who had never heard of Iran. In truth, Hưng may have only forgotten about it. How many Americans remember anything about Yugoslavia, Grenada or Libya, all countries they’ve attacked not that long ago? If not for the Panama Canal, which Trump has threatened to reclaim, most wouldn’t recognize “Panama.” Only old farts know what a Panama hat is. Even after Trump has staked his farcical claim on Greenland, many still can’t identify that huge chunk of land on a map.

Two days ago, Hưng’s brother, also a motorbike taxi guy, told me about Iran strapping a captured Israeli tank driver to a missile, before firing it at Tel Aviv!

I laughed so hard, “That’s nonsense! Israel has not sent tanks to Iran!”

“But I saw it.”

“Where?”

“On TikTok.”

“It’s AI, man. They can show you having sex to a beauty queen!”
