Hussein did this as well. They both want unilateral disarmament by the US. Heck, biden said during the campaign he basically wanted us to be on parity with France.

It’s not “stupid” from the left’s perspective; it’s exactly what they wanted him to do. If they regarded it as a “stupid” move, they would have interdicted.

They both want unilateral disarmament by the US The only thing Biden wants is to sniff females, bank his 10%, and eat ice cream. The wants of this administration are entirely stamped by the Obama template - all toward the goal of diminishing America into oblivion.

Russia has 6200. Not good.
Oh well, 9/11 pretty much showed the world we will never use them again. So they aren’t much of a deterrent anymore. Riyadh and Mecca should have been hit on 9/12.
