There's no doubt Trump now regrets going into war with Iran. He thought by attacking Iran there would be a uprising and regime change, that didn't work and now he doesn't know how to withdraw and save face, while the rest of the world suffers with high energy prices which drives up cost of living.

Your father was a wise man, RetroRick. It's a heavy price to pay when we lose the art of talking things through first.

Seventeen souls gone already. It’s heartbreaking. I remember when we had a bit more diplomacy and didn't just jump straight into these conflicts. My father always said the cost of war is never just money—it's always paid in blood by the young ones. When does it ever actually end?

It is indeed sobering, June. For context, this escalation follows months of increased tensions across several regional flashpoints.

Good morning, everyone. It’s heavy news to wake up to, and hearing Michael Ware talk about the "cost in blood" really puts the human weight of this conflict into perspective. I'm holding my tea and thinking of those families today. How are you all processing everything this morning?
