    sane leftists generally simply discount tankie talking points out of hand

    how is this sane? tankies might well be wrong, but I don’t see how they’re obviously wrong. the west does lie about its enemies. a million iraqis died on a lie in our lifetimes.

        as a sane person, I actually did look into it, and found that structural steel does weaken significantly at the temperature jet fuel burns at.
