[ExI] I hate to say it but, I agree with Trump

[Keith Henson]

There are two things about the Iran war that surprise me.

First is why they have not put a drone through the Oval Office window. They
have Ukrainian examples in front of them.

Second is why they bother with U-235. There is an easy way to make pure
Pu-239 that I made public 20 years ago.
