Thanks to tireless efforts by historical revisionists over the past two decades, Ronald Reagan has gotten a lot of credit for achievements that he had nothing to do with. “Winning” the Cold War is a good example.

Interesting link from Globes, Israel’s main business program. News outlets such as Reuters have been renting rooftops in Tel Aviv; television news producers have also been making arrangements for Iran-Israel war coverage.
