Tim, you know...
I'm doing better than the alternatives today, but wow.
Yeah, I want to really emphasize that what happened was unacceptable on every front.
You know, I've seen some of the MAGA people saying things like, oh, come on, we've watched this for 10 years.
He says something extreme, kind of just stir the pot, and then he reaches a deal.
And, you know, yes, we have seen these kinds of things.
We've seen extreme over-the-top tariffs get somewhat rolled back.
We've seen other extreme things happen that, you know, he changes and he twists and he distorts.
And then we've also seen him carry all the way through, like January 6th, right?
We've seen that the man, yeah, sometimes he negotiates and sometimes he breaks through every single line that exists.
And so...
There is just no justification for threatening, not just a war crime, Tim, not just a war crime, because I think that that's a word that we use it a lot, unfortunately, because we've had to use it a lot.
It's a big category.
It can encapsulate everything from an individual soldier killing a civilian completely on his own to a president of the United States ordering a strike that violates the law.
But this is beyond that.
What he was threatening would be categorized as a crime against humanity.
In other words, a genocide level or close to genocide level crime is what a crime against humanity is.
And why would I say that?
I would say that because already
the UN has classified what Russia is doing to Ukraine as a crime against humanity.
