Drudge Retort: The Other Side of the News

Within weeks Iran will receive its first shipment of up to 400 shoulder-fired air-defence missile launchers (MANPADS) from China. The $60-70m purchase will cover gaps in Iranian air defenses that were exposed when the US illegally attacked the oil-wealthy country of 93m people. A recent poll revealed that about two-thirds of Americans say the 26 Feb attack against Iran on behalf of Israel has not been worthwhile.

Dummkopf Trumpf and Benjamin Netanyahu recklessly endangered the lives of American Servicemembers while bankrupting the US economy in this costly quagmire

Xi watches gleefully as Trump, an erratic adversary, behaves ... erratically. And little wonder, because Trump foolishly fell into a trap of his own creation and is now panicking, wildly flailing away, bogged down, locked within a labyrinthine puzzle he is incapable of understanding let alone dealing with effectively. So Xi observes Trump shouting and pounding the table and stomping his feet and waving his tiny hands. As if Xi needed reminding of the man's crippling inadequacies. Providing assistance to Iran simply reminds Trump of the answer to the American's pig-squealed "Who's my daddy?!?"

Look at the size of the red carpet the Philippines government laid out for empty suit USSECSTATE Marco Rubio during his 21 July visit to Manila for the ASEAN Summit.

Looks like a used scarlet-colored yoga mat.

We all hope that Mrs Jeanette Dousdebes Rubio enjoyed Filipino cuisine and hospitality all on our dime.

One wonders if Marco Rubella asked Chinese FM Wang Yi about the Chinese MANPADS transfer to Iran which was in the works for weeks.

Meanwhile, Dummkopf Trumpf whined about alleged "Chinese meddling" in US elections (but not Russian or Israeli).

But what about these "meddlesome" Chinese MANPADS Iran will be getting quite soon, Republicans?
