So if we can accept that like America is divided, Iran is divided, and yes, in America, you can get a bunch of people on the right that'll go and fill a gigantic space, and you can get a bunch of people on the left that'll go and fill that gigantic space.
And depending on how you cover it,
You're gonna make it seem like America is all this or all that, or you could just show America's completely divided.
You can tell whatever story you want because there is so much conflicting opinion in the US.
I have a feeling that that's what we're seeing in Iran.
As a reminder, they have 92 or 93 million people.
They are a big country.
They're big geographically.
They're big from a population standpoint.
And so like anything, you're going to see a lot of difference of opinion.
And so I think that's a big part of what we're seeing play out.
And then one of the things that you and I were talking about before we started rolling, like the big theme right now is just how much propaganda, how much spin there is, how everybody's trying to control the narrative.
And so I consider my job to be to look at everything from a first principles land, to build everything up from cause and effect,
to try to get beyond even my own bias.
Obviously, I just want America to win.
I'd rather we weren't in the conflict, but now that we are, then hey, let's win it.
So I'm trying to check myself against that to find out what's really true.
And so spending a lot of time looking at what's going on with the radar, what's actually going on with oil,
Are they showing, is the Iranian army showing that they really can choke out the Strait of Hormuz, all that stuff.
There's real truth to this is not like a super clean thing.
