Are these the steps that brought us to this shit show? [View all]

Trump told Russia about Israel's "iron dome" missile defense system

Russia told Iran about Israel's "iron dome" missile defense system

Iran told Hamas about Israel's "iron dome" missile defense system

Hamas used the information about Israel's "iron dome" missile defense system to launch an attack on Israel

Republicans have now blamed President Biden for Hamas' attack

And Tommy Tuberville along with members of the House Free Dumb Caucus have snarled up Congress
