And of course, the threat of military action at the back of this.

The Rest Is Politics

So I think we're talking here about Trump.

The Rest Is Politics
537. Indicting Trump, Israeli Prisons, and Rory vs. Ed Miliband

We constantly talk about Trump wanting sort of, you know, right history.

The Rest Is Politics
537. Indicting Trump, Israeli Prisons, and Rory vs. Ed Miliband

He keeps saying that he's going to be the president who sorts out Cuba once and for all.

The Rest Is Politics
537. Indicting Trump, Israeli Prisons, and Rory vs. Ed Miliband

different parts of the world, having to go navigate through complicated airspace because there were certain countries he feared getting arrested.

The Rest Is Politics
537. Indicting Trump, Israeli Prisons, and Rory vs. Ed Miliband

Putin, the same thing when he's traveling around the world.

The Rest Is Politics
537. Indicting Trump, Israeli Prisons, and Rory vs. Ed Miliband

It's a very interesting thought.

The Rest Is Politics
537. Indicting Trump, Israeli Prisons, and Rory vs. Ed Miliband

But of course, what's happening is that Trump thinks he can get away with anything.

The Rest Is Politics
537. Indicting Trump, Israeli Prisons, and Rory vs. Ed Miliband
