No, it's the same. I mean, international relations has been made into, they have to make it into like a pseudoscience. Exactly.
Yeah, just like everything else.
Yeah, just like everything else.
Yeah, just like everything else.
Yeah. And then, you know, it's the same thing of all of academia, which is like people's theses are increasingly more Baroque and like nobody actually knows large things like the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, or at least... know it in a way that is applicable in power in real life.

And I mean, maybe things are changing now, but like also a lot of the foreign policy establishment, it's different now in the second term, but wouldn't work with the first Trump term, wouldn't work with their team. And I think that was a discredit of the country. I think that just did not serve the country. Well, of course it didn't serve the country.

And look, foreign policy experts at this point will chime in on this conversation being like, oh, well, that's just so unrealistic. That's not actually what we want.
