Giving a sharp dagger to the insane?

Jay Nordlinger:

Reading Jennifer Rubin at Commentary’s blog — always a worthwhile thing to do — I came upon an extraordinary interview. It was conducted by CNN with an Iranian student protester named Mohammad. (Find the interview here.) The interviewer is wrapping up when Mohammad says, “Excuse me, sir. I have a message for the international community. Would you please let me tell it?” The interviewer says sure. And Mohammad says,

Americans, European Union, international community, this government is . . . definitely not elected by the majority of Iranians. So it’s illegal. Do not recognize it. Stop trading with them. Impose much more sanctions against them. My message . . . to the international community, especially I’m addressing President Obama directly — how can a government that doesn’t recognize its people’s rights and represses them brutally and mercilessly have nuclear activities? This government is a huge threat to global peace. Will a wise man give a sharp dagger to an insane person? We need your help, international community. Don’t leave us alone.

...
On some level Obama gives lip service to not allowing Iran to have nuclear weapons. Perhaps he believes he mush jump through some diplomatic hoops before doing the denying. Bush had much the same policy although he was not as wedded to unconditional talks. It is now pretty clear that unconditional talks will make no difference to this regime. What is not clear is whether Obama has the will to stop their development of nuclear weapons.

Probably the easy way to defeat this court-packing scheme is for Trump to propose doing the same thing now.  It would lead to Democrat denunciations and claims that it would be wrong, thereby blowing up any attempt by them in the unfortunate event of Democrats winning a presidential election.

Is the F-35 obsolete?

Headline USA: Pentagon Fires Back after Musk Calls Its Most Expensive Project ‘Obsolete’ 'Yeah, as I'm sure you can appreciate, Mr. Musk is, currently, a private citizen, I'm not going to make any comments about what a private citizen may have to say about the F-35....'   ... ... Drones appear to be replacing jets for many operations.  The Russia-Ukraine war is an example of that.  Drones are often hard to detect and can be used for intelligence operations as well as for attacking enemy targets.  It would not surprise me to see drones engaging other drones in combat.  They also cost much less than manned fighters.
