1.3 thousand kilometers. I’m not sure what the range is of that missile, but the picture of a missile falling in the snowy mountains isn’t compelling proof of anything.
Apparently not in the reading of distances.
I feel like you would have adored Stalin if he had the right Economic policies. Actually, given your open embrace of state-intervention in the economy, you might have only needed him to be saying he was saving America.
Schrödinger's Iran.
They're simultaneously the most dangerous threat to the US and always a few weeks away from building a nuclear weapon even though we apparently destroyed their infrastructure months ago to do that and set them back decades, and they're also militarily inept and don't stand a chance against us thus not posing a threat.
Freeing Iranian people from tyranny good.
Helping Ukraine defend itself from Russian invasion bad.

Crazy.
We're selling soybeans at big discounts to the CCP too! How does the CCP get away with getting big discounts from their allies and their biggest adversary, that being us?
Why can't we just be friends with Iran like we are with Saudi Arabia? They are after all the ones who funded the 9/11 hijackers.

For anyone born after Vietnam, this is the second biggest foreign policy win of their lifetime after the fall of the Berlin Wall and the Soviet Union. The whatabout-ing is incredible to me. I can only imagine what some people would have been like when the Wall fell;
“Well the Berlin Wall might be down but according to my calculations Eastern Europe is still communist.”
This is a freaking win, a big ass, don’t even bother disputing it, world changing, win. People who try to detract from its significance only detract from their own.

Yeah - that’s what led there. Not Islam
