Dear @realDonaldTrump Pneumonic Plague is not "Pneumonia". Left untreated with antibiotics, it is nearly 100% fatal. Don't fuck this up like you did Covid. Please. We lost a million last time.

So it appears that Russia gets drone designs from Iran, then gets parts from China, and North Korean workers put them together. It's all done in one giant factory in Russia. Tell me again how we aren't in a World War?
