And I gotta say, that's one thing that's really frustrated me about this entire thing.

And I think it was reflected in the conversation yesterday about Trump's Truth Social post about how we're gonna, the entire civilization is gonna die.

And for someone who tries to be reasonable about these things, it's really frustrating because what I see is, yeah, on one side you have some people who do panic about it and they act as though there's a chance that Trump will actually just nuke Iran and kill everybody.

And I think that most of us who are rational knew that that was just not gonna happen.

But on the other end of the spectrum,

You have people who are proponents of this war and reflexive defenders of it acting as though there is no reasonable criticism a person could make of a president saying publicly the entire civilization will die.

Like a reasonable person, a rational person can obviously without panicking, you're not being a panicking, you're not saying that the sky's falling, but you can look at that and say, huh, you know,

I don't know if that's the best strategy.

And I also don't know if morally it's like ever okay to threaten to kill an entire civilization, even if you get your way.

So that's a conversation we can have.

And just like the bad faith and the dishonesty from people on both sides, I find really frustrating.

Because look, here's the thing.

I agree with the people who say that, yeah, there's no way Trump was actually gonna do that.

He's not gonna do that.

I get it.

Well, okay, well then, but why are you saying it then?

Because- I'll give you an answer on this.

Well, Jose, but if you're not gonna do it and everybody knows you're not gonna do it, then the threat is totally meaningless.

Like the Iranian regime, they have access to Twitter.

I mean, they can see the conversation also.
