I think it's crucial that for all of the problems that Somalia, Syria, Libya, Iraq, Afghanistan have.
The worst thing about those countries is America's wars there.
It's what we have done to them as the worst thing about those places.
So we're not in much of a position to criticize, you know, whatever horrible and political practices, you know, cultural and things about their societies that we would like to criticize when the worst chaos that's happened to them has been inflicted by our country against them, virtually all in wars of choice that were unnecessary from the get-go.
Yeah, and I'm getting almost universally good feedback from it. I've had very little substantive criticism, a lot of Russian asset and Russian talking point type garbage. On a substantive basis, they seem to have not read the thing because they'll accuse me of never addressing stuff that has a whole section of its own and whatever in there. I don't know.

But look, it did get up to the top 300 on all of Amazon. It's now still in the top 1000. I believe in the top 700 something or 600. No, I think 700 something on Amazon. It's still number one in War and Peace.

still in the top uh top 40 in all history on amazon so and that's three and a half months and if it wasn't for jimmy carter dying and dave chappelle recommending his book peace not apartheid on um saturday night live then i'd have been number one in war and peace the whole time but jimmy carter kind of he snaked my title for a minute there but i got it back

I know what trouble he got in for writing it, so it must be something.

Well, I mean, yeah, I was a bit just in disbelief. In fact, the second time I watched it, I finally found the clip of the whole deal, the 40 minute long discussion leading up to it and everything. And yeah, You know, I was impressed the first time, but the second time I watched, I was like, wow, I really had not remembered just how bad it was.

The, uh, him attempting to shout down Trump and talk over Trump in that way. That's pretty remarkable. I think, well, we got two choices, right?

Or that this was a planned political move that he made because essentially what was happening was Trump was saying, we're going to call this ceasefire. That's what we're going to do. We want a deal where the fighting stops, implying, of course, then that everyone accepts that the lines are where they're drawn now.

And potentially, maybe in negotiations, they would even grow, right? Because as it stands now, Russia still doesn't control 100% of Donetsk, nor of Zaporozhye or Kherson, although they do control, I believe, virtually all of Luhansk and some of Arkiv. But...
