Apparently, he has know idea who Thatcher and Mier are.

Margaret Thatcher, Golda Mier and Indira Gandhi - those would be the primary female national leaders of the last few decades. All led their countries in major shooting wars, and did it well.

Margaret Thatcher, Golda Mier and Indira Gandhi...

Yep. Go a little further back and we have Elizabeth I of England, Catherine the Great of Russia, Maria Theresa of Austria, Zenobia of Palmyra, Isabella of Spain, Theodora of Constantinople, Livia of Rome, and that's just off the top of my head...
