    Eh, one person replied now. But I get your frustration. There are a lot of things I can’t say in a comment or that I assume others know about so I don’t even explain it. I can’t write a book. I already get the “I’m not reading all that” replies enough as it is. But, when someone reads a comment without that context it can be hard for them to understand.

    Things like THAAD in 2016. The protest in South Korea (I was actually there when they happened). I didn’t mention the obvious connection to Iran being that Trump removed them back in March to defend Israel. Something I incorrectly assume people know. So, I could see how my comment could be seen as a “jump” without that knowledge.

    But, yes, I’d definitely prefer people reply that disagree.
