I’m not here to place bets or debate geopolitics at that level. For what it’s worth, there was a nuclear agreement with Iran (the JCPOA) that addressed these concerns before it was abandoned by Trump in 2018.

Our song isn’t trying to solve the situation or take sides - it’s about the pressure and the consequences when things escalate. The longer it drags on, the more it feels like we’re all going to have to pay for it, one way or another. That’s really the lane I’m trying to stay in here and I'm sure John will agree.

Rachel, collectively, works for me. I see you as her extension.

Your song is about taking sides.
You have publicly bashed Trump more times than you can count.
You have long since..."taken sides."

The history of humanity is as much the history of war as anything else.
A truly thinking person has to look at this situation,
assess probable outcomes as best they can with the information available to them.
and decide what they think is predicted to be the outcome yielding the "greatest good."
That is what we are watching play out right now.
That is almost always going to involve picking a side.


Otherwise, its just pointless and endless, "woe is me."
Reality responds to that with..."Frankly my dear (Scarlet), I don't give a damn."

Truly gotta go.
Be back some future morning.
