All right

All I'm going to see

a job Hello, everybody. It's a chopro.

Hello, everybody. It's Monday, March 2nd, and this is your chopo.

Obviously, today we're going to be talking about they finally did it.

War with Iran.

Joining us on today's show is our good friend Seamus Malikov-Zali, joining Felix and I.

Seamus, how's it going?

I've been better, I'll be honest.

Yeah, yeah, we all have. So I guess I'd like to open things up with, you know, where we're at right now, which is like, you know, if you, Saturday morning, you wake up, you find out that, like, the bastards, they finally did the thing. They did the thing that I've been, more or less worried about for the last 20, 25 years is that someone would be like stupid, corrupt, and compromised

enough to start a war with Iran for real. And I guess I want to begin here. I think basically

all you need to know about this war and the people prosecuting it is that

it's called Operation Epic Fury.

And it began with blowing up a school full of girls killing.

By this count, I don't know, maybe 150 schoolchildren, all of them girls.

Like that to me says everything about what this war is about and the people behind it.

I saw Pete Hegsef, the secretary of war, as he's called now, his presser today with Kane, the other general on this.

And the way that it has been articulated, it is really quite remarkable.

He said, quote, no stupid rules of engagement, no nation building quagmire, no democracy building

exercise, no politically correct wars. We fight to win. This whole thing is being, like we don't get the

existential threat that was the case with Iraq, right? There is no threat of a new 9-11. It is

seemingly purely to write the humiliation that we suffered in Iraq and Afghanistan by not getting involved
