What does “total obliteration” of Iran’s nuclear production facilities have in common with “very productive” talks with Russia to end the war in Ukraine?

Both are boastful narratives made by Donald that don’t correspond with reality.

They exemplify incomplete defenestration, the political scenario of tossing bad actors only partially out of the window. But solving the problem of Iran and Russia depends on the bodies of the Ayatollah and Vova actually hitting the pavement. It doesn’t matter if you’re on the 29th floor or on the 9th floor. As of this writing, both despots appear suspended in mid-air, propped up by Truths of self-aggrandizing bullshit.
