This is brilliant.
Palestinian history (if we're to believe Palestinians)

1,000,000 BCE:
The first Palestinian emerges from the sea.
20,000 BCE:
Early Palestinians learn how to make fire.
“We make state now?”
“Not yet.”

Early Palestinians invent the wheel.

It was always inevitable, given the intrinsic corruption, idiocy, incompetence and increasing dementia, but four years ago what would be seen to be the hammer blow against the Biden presidency occurred that begin its downward spiral, with the disastrous Afghanistan retreat, one of the greatest debacles if not indeed the greatest one, in the history of American foreign policy.

Yes, putting a nuclear reactor (in fact, several of them) on the Moon is a great idea, but it’s out of context with the policy mess.

We don’t currently have one, and no one in the administration seems to be concerned about it.
How it created the constitutional monarchy in England.

A history of our fecklessness since the end of WW II.
The problem with Trump is that, despite his talk about “getting tired of winning,” he, like the pseudo-pacifist Democrats (I say “pseudo,” because they aren’t really anti-war–they’re just on the other side) doesn’t want to win wars, but to “end” them. I get that he doesn’t like wars, but sometimes they are necessary, and the only way, ultimately, to end them is to win decisively, in a way that the combatants either no longer exist, or are no longer willing to continue to combat. It remains to be seen whether that’s the case in Iran, but I fear that they are just biding their time.
