    World Cup national teams are mostly fake

    Every four years we’re told the FIFA World Cup is the ultimate competition between nations. Commentators talk about national pride and countries battling for global supremacy.

    Iran cannot be allowed to develop a nuclear weapon. That’s the justification we’ve been given. But is that the ultimate end goal of Trump’s actions in Iran?
