I'm John Batser, the friends of Mr. Debating Society, with Germanicus, my colleague,

Muck of Leos.

I am Gaius, where Roman citizens is 91 AD.

It's twilight.

No, past twilight.

It's dark now.

We're going to the theater later.

We're sitting here with Candleslit next to the Thames, which is a little chilly.

I pull the robe a little closer.

We're drinking wine and reflecting on too much to do, two wars with the potential third

war.

Everything, of course, that the center will not hold.

So I asked Germanicus, given the complete fog of war in Gaza, do we consider now that

the Umat is unstable?

All of it.

We had Abraham, of course.

20 minutes ago, they were moving towards peace now.

Riyadh was just about to join with Jerusalem in a high five, and MBS, the future leader

of Saudi Arabia, building his magical city in the desert, was going to link with the

hard-right in Israel, and all would be well, and the bad actors on the edges would slink

away.

Now, Germanicus is the war back.
