As the United States braces for war with Iran, the Trump administration is churning out some testosterone-soaked propaganda, featuring a few familiar IPs.
On Thursday, the White House celebrated the U.S. and Israel’s recent bombings in Iran with a supercut of the drone footage, edited together with shots from several action franchises, including Bryan Cranston as Walter White in Breaking Bad and Adam Driver as Kylo Ren in the Star Wars franchise.
“JUSTICE THE AMERICAN WAY,” the White House wrote with the video.
Kicking off with a clip of Tom Cruise’s 2002 dystopian surveillance flick Minority Report, the video also featured Cruise in Top Gun: Maverick and Tropic Thunder. Also featured are shots from Gladiator, Patriot, John Wick, Superman, Transformers, Deadpool and Halo.
The latest post comes after Kesha took to social media to slam the administration for putting her song ‘Blow’ under footage with the title “Lethality” from a February 10 TikTok posting of a jet launching a missile and destroying what appears to be enemy ship.
Last week, Iranian state TV confirmed that Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei had died after Donald Trump proclaimed the harsh 37-year rule of the cleric had ended with the US and Israeli attack on Iran. With dozens of other members of the Iranian leadership also dead, Khamenei was said to have died in his official office in the early hours of the first wave of attacks on Iran by US and Israeli air forces.
Trump has since projected a four-to-five-week war as his administration vows to do “whatever it takes,” justifying the strikes as necessary to destroy Iran’s nuclear capability, hobble its Navy, prevent Iran from obtaining a nuclear weapon and ensure that the regime cannot direct armies outside of its border.
