To me I see one of the challenges from severe sanctions is that it can push a country doing anything to raise currency, any business. Without commenting on ideological motivations, it is possible that Iran has the capability to design and build these drones and they have a customer in Russia and they need business, need money due to the strangling sanctions. ie, without knowing ideologies might be that country has to hold its nose and sell against its wishes just to keep some revenue.

That does not mean I think the sanctions are wrong nor that I have the answer. Maybe if we'd taken the trouble to negotiate a nuclear deal with Iran earlier ... oh, we did and ...

Obama did it and I think this conflict has multiple layers for Trump. He' mentions Obama so frequently, I think it irks him that the black man who was president is far more capable than him and is in a different league having achieved objectives. Trump: perpetually jealous, pathetic narcissist to the point of being febrile.
In Scotland he would be called an @rse wipe.

To be replaced with someone worse?
She had a helluva grilling in congress and I guess her position was totally untenable.

Yeah, I decided her heart wasn't in it as she kept on stopping talking over the people who were questioning her, which is the standard tactic these days for Trump lackeys.

I wonder about the etymology of words like 'Misspoke' . To me it sounds absolute bolleaux.
It basically means lie, doesn't it?

It does now, but for centuries standard usage was more long the lines of inadvertently using the wrong word. You can find loads of references here:

Basically the liars have used it as a way of pretending their lies were 'inadvertent', as per the older meaning. Its even older meaning was to speak insultingly or disrespectfully.
