I...

Do you guys think, like, when I look at Iran and I look at the way that people are going to suffer and die there in this potential transition of power, I think there is something about, oh, if you have the capacity to help those people, then you should.

But my difficulty with this stuff is it's very clear that we're not, the US doesn't intervene because of altruism.

There are reasons that we choose to take actions in specific places to benefit some sort of larger outcomes or gains or whatever, right?

And because of that being the reason we choose to do things, I don't have faith in the

execution of how that help is brought about we seem to in any time where that help is being offered there seems to be a lot of externalities that often come at the expense of the people that we were supposedly helping in the first place and i don't have faith in that action being taken in the like best interests of those people so i'm scared to be supportive of it being offered

Even when something like this is happening.

I feel like morally conflicted about that because I don't like, dude, like just because you woke up and you were born in Iran and you've lived your life there and you want more freedom around your life.

Like you, you know, the government gets to shoot you in a protest.

That's fucked up.

I don't want that to happen to anybody.

How have you guys like weighed that at all?

I, I don't.

And it's not to say that I'm sure, I think it would be naive of me to say that there's probably no learned lesson or shift in approach to how things are approached back then versus now, right?

It's even shown in something like,

Venezuela, it wasn't... We didn't just go and invade.

It's like we captured the president and his wife.

80 people died.

80 people died.

But compared to Iraq, very different start to it or whatever you want to say, right?
