He's wrong on the who and the why. Not chinese, Iranian. And it was supposed to be a hit, the one that Obama had announced the US could absorb. It would neatly have voided any election results and ushered in martial law, and Obama had it all laid down when he went off with a whole administration-in-exile plus a small navy to back him up.

An FR classic.

Invents a fact (Iranian SLBM capability), and then uses that as a basis for no fewer than three additional evidence-free paranoid fantasies...all in a couple sentences.

.... paint-huffer's haiku?

Yeah, he’s gone from zero to nutbag in short order.

I’m sorry, I don’t have a lot of confidence in Iranian tech, but the idea that they would just happen to deploy a missile with guidance so screwed up that it would go 180 degrees from the target...believing that takes more faith than I can muster.

More on Iranian subs later. Should be fun.
