So when I was talking about illiteracy as a figure of speech I was not aware of this:

Do you always think every post on the internet is directly talking to you?

Timing of that news is very suspect; and also this: https://economictimes.indiatimes.com/news/international/world-news/israel-iran-war-trump-will-give-netanyahu-a-blank-check-to-strike-iranian-regime-ex-cia-chief-reveals/videoshow/115094357.cms?from=mdr Here you got your anti-war candidate...
