This week, we shift from the shadows of private trauma to the very public, very loud theater of global conflict. It’s early 2026, and the Middle East is currently the backdrop for "Operation Epic Fury"—a title that suggests our military strategy has finally been outsourced to a Michael Bay intern. We’re deconstructing the bombing of Iran, the return of "regime change" as a casual Friday hobby, and the strange, silent choreography of a First Lady presiding over the UN while her husband reshapes the map. We’re asking the hard questions: Is this a strategic necessity, or are we just watching the consequences of war play out through the lens of a $1 billion-a-day tax bill?
