I mean, the claim that Iraq had WMDs didn't change anyone's mind about invading because it was prima facie nonsense, right? Unless you have direct evidence that the claim was both accepted as true and moved the needle on sentiment

Cool, but the Tu-95 now carries missiles like the Kh-55 with a range of 1600 miles while the Arrow was expected to have a range of 360 nmi. The Bear could have dropped its missiles and been long gone before the Arrow got anywhere close to i
