First, you know, look, CENTCOM undoubtedly over the last two years had all their targets set that they wanted to hit in Yemen,

to make the Houthis comply and to open up the Bab al-Mandab unlimited.

The only reason that was opened over the last year is because the Houthis allowed it.

It was not done by coercion by CENTCOM.

So my concern about CENTCOM saying, yes, we have another 3,500 targets to strike, that's the ones that they think they know of.

And my comment about the captain saying, well, things are quiet and they're not really shooting back from the Straits of Hormuz.

As I read history, the Germans did not engage until the troops hit the beach and the Japanese did not open up.

on Iwo Jima or Okinawa until the troops hit the beach.

And so I really hope no one is considering some kind of a forced entry there because it will be a significant casualty event and a massive blow.

And I just hope that the administration is not going to give the enemy the fight that the enemy is expecting, um, because it's not going to go well.

And now on an even more serious topic, um, um,

Palm Sunday, look, whether it's some mid-level bureaucrat that went off the rails to block the cardinal from going to mass, I'm told, I just read that he had asked for four people to go to the church to live stream mass from there, and they even barred him from doing that.

That's an enormous problem.

And it's Israel showing a disdain for Christianity in the Middle East.

And it's ridiculous.

I guess because of the sharp elbows of the other groups in the Middle East, the Christians are going to have to do something

Yes, much sharper in demand for that kind of territorial autonomy.

The problem is what is economically viable with that many fences and barriers and guardianships?

So yeah, they managed to work together under the last century or two of kind of Ottoman light rule there.

It's a mess.
