I have absolutely no complaints about being hawkish on Iran. My complaints is the isolationist rhetoric about Ukraine, only for him to be a standard hawk on everyone else.

Ukraine had a handshake deal with the US to defend its sovereignty in exchange for Ukraine giving up their nukes. They were effectively an ally.
