As we enter the fifth day of Operation Epic Fury, few people — outside of Democrats and their Leftist allies — are really going to bat for the Iranian regime.

We suppose that's better than offering them cheap, ineffective military equipment. After all, failed Chinese-made radar helped the U.S. capture Nicolas Maduro back in January.

With Iran striking every Middle Eastern nation it can, it's no wonder China and others aren't coming to Iran's aid.
