Hey let’s not forget who turned COVID loose on the world, CHINA.
China is the winner on three points, economically, politically and world status as a super power.
A weak America allows all these little creepy dictators feel powerful and puff their chest out to show how great they are.
While Iran could cause damage to the world, there are numerous countries that could totally destroy Iran with little effort.
