And so if everybody in the world knows he's not gonna do it, then the threat has no meaning.

And if they think that he will do it, but then he doesn't, well, now you just look like a fool.

You look like you're full of bluster.

I mean, when you make this threat, if you, hold on, if you make this threat and you will never actually do it ever, no matter what they do,

then all you've done is made your threats completely meaningless.

Yeah, I think, look, there's this weird thing we do now with wars where we talk about them very theoretically, especially this latest one where we're sort of theorizing about, well, maybe we're doing it for this reason.

Maybe this is the reason.

As though we don't have leaders who are running the country whose responsibility is not to actually tell us this stuff.

You know, it used to be that for most of American history, when we went to war, it was like kind of a big deal.

And so the American people had to know why we're doing it.

That doesn't mean that the generals have to sit down at your kitchen table and lay out all the blueprints and lay out all the battle plans for you.

OK, some things are confidential.

We get that you want the element of surprise, but a basic conversation about why are we doing this?

Why now?

What you as Americans are going to pay the price for this one way or another.

you're going to pay a financial, at least there's a risk.

There's a risk if we, if America goes to war in any part of the world, there is a serious risk to American people, to American livelihood, to American lives.

No one can deny that.

And so for that reason alone, we have a right to know why are we doing this?

Why was this necessary right now?
