Emily Maitlis Claims Iran War Wouldn’t Happen If Women Were In Charge

Emily Maitlis has a solution to the chaos in the Middle East: turn down the ‘machismo’ and replace the ‘aggressive’ male leaders with women. Oh, and she has also compared a 30,000-pound missile to a sex toy.

Speaking on The News Agents today, Maitlis said:

“There is so much machismo to the language, to the aggression, to the speed of what is happening right now. I just cannot see any of this happening if there were more women leaders, right? I mean going back to your ‘bunker buster’, which is actually called a Massive Ordnance Penetrator – which sounds frankly more like a sex toy than ammunition…”

“I can’t see ANY of this happening if more women were leaders…

Take the Massive Ordnance Penetrator – which sounds more like a sex toy than a bomb – for example.”@maitlis criticises male-dominated leadership for stoking fears of WWIII through reckless global brinkmanship. pic.twitter.com/CauSMPp7PC

Presumably the Israelis and Iranians would all hold hands and sing kumbaya under the Maitlis doctrine of foreign policy…
