White but glowing

A French general just looked at Trump’s plan to build a runway inside Iran to fly out uranium under active bombing.
His response: “American officials should stop snorting cocaine between meetings.”


I could not have said it better so I will let the comment stand on its own.

Reference:

Wasn't it a French politician who just yesterday or so said something like:

It appears the United States has been taken over by a handful of drunks and drug addicts.

How right they are!

This is the same man who said that Trump's Iran war is like "buying cheap tickets for the Titanic after it hit the iceberg."

He said "il faut arrêter de sniffer la coke au bureau" (they should stop sniffing coke at the office).
He also said even Iran, on their own soil during peacetime, this would take them weeks or even months to achieve.
