Faye and David 🇺🇸🇺🇦🏳️🌈🏳️⚧️ @sixfamily.bsky.social · 07/10/20266/10 A reasonable reading is that Los Angeles and San Diego were being used as examples of American cities that could be threatened by a hostile adversary. Not cities he was advocating should actually be destroyed. That distinction matters. 100
