What We Know Is We Don’t Know Much

It’s not surprising that we woke up this morning learning that the U.S and Israel had launched a war with Iran. I say a “war” because that’s what the president called it.

Of course he says a lot of things. Although for this cheerleading bunch of losers, they have been surprisingly quiet today, even as every news outlet in the world wants to tell us what we know about what’s going on. The truth is we don’t know much because I don’t think the folks in charge know much. I imagine that will change in the days ahead.

That said, the smartest thing I’ve read on the situation today was a post on Mastodon from user Sven Schmidt. 

While we wait and see what’s actually what, I’ll leave this as a good summary about how I feel about the day.
