Just caught Joe Rogan going off on something pretty wild during his podcast. He was talking about how if Iran nukes New York City, that would be on Trump's hands, and honestly the logic he's laying out is hard to argue with.

He starts by comparing what's happening in Gaza to basically a slow-motion nuke. Like the destruction is so total that it might as well be nuclear-level damage, except it happened over time instead of all at once. And his point is the kids living there didn't do October 7th. They had nothing to do with it.

Then he flips it: what if the same logic applied here? What if Iran decides to nuke New York? The kids in the Bronx didn't do anything to Iran. They're just living their lives. So why would they pay the price for decisions made by politicians?

Rogan's basically saying this whole cycle is insane. You go to war with Iran, escalate tensions, and then act shocked when there's blowback. The nukes part is the extreme hypothetical, but the underlying point about civilians caught in the crossfire is what he keeps hammering on.

Ari chimes in that we need to figure out peace, and honestly at this point what else is there to say? The geopolitical chess game just keeps getting messier and nobody seems interested in actually de-escalating anything.
