You're listening to serious inquiries only. Oh, Hello and welcome to serious inquiries only I'm your host Thomas Smith. This is episode number 32.

Got some. I'm back in America here. I was gone. As you know, I was in Europe for a while.

I have a lot of thoughts on Europe in general and I will not be

sharing them here really because they're more just funny things that I would

share on my podcast comedy Shushine so check that out on

Sunday or Monday I guess it would be I'll talk about a lot of the observations I

made it was fun that I've got good good stories so be sure to check that out

but today's episode is less

cheery than that. I'm gonna talk about Syria mainly. I've got a couple little

news items to talk about first really quickly but the main topic today is the strike on Syria

the Syrian war in general all that kind of stuff I think you guys I've been thinking a

lot about this a lot it occupies my mind a lot I enjoy that I get to do this stuff for you guys now.

Tons of research I've done on it. I'm frankly surprised at what I've, the conclusions I've come to on this serious strike. I think maybe

you will be too. So I look forward to that, but first let's play that music and then

let's talk about some quick stories.

Unfortunately, this is just a pretty depressing

unfortunately this is just a pretty depressing episode in some ways.

There was a story I've seen, you've likely seen it too.

I kept seeing a headline that I just had to hope was fake.

I kept it, yeah.

And you know what? It was so awful that I didn't even want to check it. I was like, you know what, I'm just going to hope it's fake. I don't want to look at it. I just can't process this right now. Well, I finally, you know, decided to check on it because I might want to talk about it.

And it's pretty much accurate.
