I think I want to dig into the deeper kind of Don Roe doctrine implications in a little bit as we get past that as well.

So I like you had a great piece on this in The New York Times today.

Yeah, I tried to unpack it and got me thinking about it, too.

I mean, you know, you and I talked about this a bit on Saturday.

I still feel the same way.

I mean, mostly, look, I think the U.S.

media and political reaction to like the opening days of wars is always like pretty fawning and kind of.

Gross.

I mean, there's some interesting pushback on Trump.

Like, Megyn Kelly was like, I'm reserving judgment about what's going on in Venezuela.

And she actually called out Fox News for being state TV.

And it was said back in the day when she was at Fox News, she felt obligated to cheerlead every single war and felt burned by that in the long term, which, you know, like, good for her for saying that.

Uh, but that kind of voice was rare, but then you have like Rudy Giuliani tweeting, like cut off the entire head of the snake and like get rid of Rodriguez too.

So there is a lot of triumphalism in these early days of war.

There's very little consideration of the costs of the people pointing out that Iraq and Libya and all these other interventions ultimately were disasters were often shouted down and told that like, how dare you compare these places?

Cause they're different.

It's like, well, of course they are, but you know, what isn't different is that the United States isn't very good at

solving political problems with the military, whether or not it means, you know, Trump is like in the beginning of an authoritarian right wing, like fascist military bender.

I don't know.

Yeah, but it's certainly it worries me.
