🚫 CLAIM: Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) says it downed an "enemy" fighter jet over Qeshm Island in the Strait of Hormuz.
✅ FACT: All U.S. fighter aircraft are accounted for. Iran's IRGC has made the same false claim at least half a dozen times.
Today isn’t just Boxing Day. It’s also Mao’s birthday.
There’s this episode of The Simpsons where Homer takes his family to China.
In Tiananmen Square, they come across a placard that reads: “On this site, in 1989, nothing happened.”
Then Homer pays his “respects” to Mao Zedong as “a little angel that killed 50 million people," and inadvertently recreates the iconic Tank Man image.
Obviously, this episode would have never been made today:
We cannot allow China to think it will have a sanctuary. We have to tell the Chinese, in public as well as in private, that if it attacks some neighbor, its territory will be attacked too. We have to reestablish deterrence fast.
