I've never heard a president talking about, oh, I might take Greenland, might go to Venezuela.

I also find it quite fascinating that our prime minister in the UK, Keir Starmer, is not being asked about any of this stuff ahead of time.

I think if we go back a couple of decades, the UK and the US were allies.

Now it seems like the US is kind of acting as a lone force in the world.

And it's funny because, you know, I watched Keir Starmer come out after the attacks have happened and he clearly had no idea what was going to happen.

Same in Venezuela.

Once upon a time, you would have briefed us.

What's going on here?

What's the macro picture in terms of the declining world order that we once knew, where it wasn't just United States running around doing whatever they liked and other people might be briefed or asked?

So he's using the military how he wants to use them.

So who do you think had the intelligence?

And why does this matter?

Because I feel like there's a second half of your point that's missing, like a conclusion that you're pointing towards but not saying.

And who are you concerned about as it relates to other regimes?

How do you counter that?

What's interesting with the term stands apart is I was imagining therefore a spectrum.

And the minute it becomes a spectrum, it becomes somewhat subjective.

So, you know, one might say, well, we think they wanted to hurt us.

Whereas before in my head, when I grew up, I always used to see these wars and go, why don't they just, they know where the guy lives.

Like, I know that sounds like a simplified way, but they know where he is.
