We have a more reasonable regime that we're negotiating with.

If we don't do it, we'll do war crimes.

I should note that simultaneously to that bleat, Secretary of State Rubio was on Good Morning America.

He's been doing a ton of interviews.

And he said that there is someone that we're negotiating with but won't say who because it could get those people in trouble.

And there are some fractures going on internally in Iran, which doesn't seem that optimistic to me.

You know, if we can't even say who we're negotiating with, we have to have a secret counterparty because everyone in Iran is so mad at us that that counterparty might get...

you know, who knows, I don't know, overthrown if they seem to be too nice to us.

I guess my point is that doesn't really seem to be the thing that you say if you're on the brink of a breakthrough, which is we're negotiating with someone who we have to keep in secret because there are other people who really hate us internally.

I kind of have a little bit of a justification from Rubio over the weekend, but I want to save that for a second.

So it's been the most clear thing that we've heard, but I just want to run through a couple of the other news items first.

Another thing that we should have mentioned was that a plane sitting on the runway in Saudi was absolutely obliterated by an Iranian missile.

This is the type of plane, I'm sure you know more about this than me, that we don't have that many of.

Yeah, I read $700 million, but whatever, umpteen hundred million to make one.

And it was demolished, right?

laundry fire and that's why it was out of commission but yet then when trump was on stage one time recently he was talking about how the ship was under fire from iran from a bunch of different directions that makes me wonder anyways the gerald florida thing i think i think that you have to at least question whether they're telling us the truth about the kind of attacks that we're suffering so another report that happened after that is that we're now i guess searching for more underground facilities

to protect our

or materiel or planes and other tanks, et cetera, does seem like the kind of thing that you probably should have thought of before the war.

A lot of people have been paying very close attention to the Ukraine-Russia war.

So this was like a big takeaway that because of the new drone warfare now, the manner in which you have to protect your own equipment is different than it would have been 10, 20 years ago.
