We don't even know the names of the pilots, but apparently Hollywood is already making a movie about it.

I don't know if you guys saw the story.

Yeah.

The rights have been sold.

They're doing a movie about something that we know nothing about.

I don't know.

Are they just going to make up the facts here or what's going on here?

So I thought that was quite fascinating that Hollywood is already on top of it.

But also on that point.

Exactly.

Perhaps this was their production to begin with.

And, you know, I've spoken to folks.

This is speculative.

I don't know the facts here, but I've spoken to folks on the military side, on the U.S.

And many of them have pointed to the fact that this appeared to have been a real effort.

to go inside of the country and do something to the nuclear facilities that there was an attempt to either take or build quickly a runway and then manage to fly in a lot of soldiers so you don't have to do the actual invasion from the south which would have been impossible instead you're leapfrogging it you're going into the middle of the country

And it was a disaster.

The United States lost more aircraft that weekend since the Vietnam War.

And if you remember, it is about two days after that, that Trump first issues that civilizational threat and seems to have had a meltdown on par with Mark Levine right now on Truth Social.

And then that evening, the ceasefire is announced.
