The Rest Is Politics: US
177. The Real Reason Trump’s Blocking The Strait of Hormuz

How damaged is American prestige by this?

The Rest Is Politics: US
177. The Real Reason Trump’s Blocking The Strait of Hormuz

We're 40 days into it.

The Rest Is Politics: US
177. The Real Reason Trump’s Blocking The Strait of Hormuz

I asked your successor, Michael Froman, the following question.

The Rest Is Politics: US
177. The Real Reason Trump’s Blocking The Strait of Hormuz

I'm going to ask it to you as well.

The Rest Is Politics: US
177. The Real Reason Trump’s Blocking The Strait of Hormuz

Let's say you're a clairvoyant.

The Rest Is Politics: US
177. The Real Reason Trump’s Blocking The Strait of Hormuz

You're in the situation room and you can open up your iPad and you show exactly where we're going to be 44 days after this war starts.

The Rest Is Politics: US

And you're in a senior leadership position.

So you now have full clairvoyance, Richard.

The Rest Is Politics: US

Do you transact on this war?

The Rest Is Politics: US
177. The Real Reason Trump’s Blocking The Strait of Hormuz

Do you execute this war?

The Rest Is Politics: US

The Rest Is Politics: US

Okay.

The Rest Is Politics: US
177. The Real Reason Trump’s Blocking The Strait of Hormuz

Thank you.

The Rest Is Politics: US
177. The Real Reason Trump’s Blocking The Strait of Hormuz

We're so much worse off than we were.

The Rest Is Politics: US
177. The Real Reason Trump’s Blocking The Strait of Hormuz

Okay, so please explain to our viewers and listeners why we are so much worse off.

The Rest Is Politics: US
177. The Real Reason Trump’s Blocking The Strait of Hormuz

And by the way, you would have been against it even without the clairvoyance because you understand- I was against it from the get-go.

The Rest Is Politics: US
177. The Real Reason Trump’s Blocking The Strait of Hormuz

Right, exactly.

The Rest Is Politics: US
177. The Real Reason Trump’s Blocking The Strait of Hormuz

But explain to people now, let's say we're in the Situation Room together and you're being an honest broker of the events and you're saying, we are so much worse off, list all the reasons why.

The Rest Is Politics: US
177. The Real Reason Trump’s Blocking The Strait of Hormuz

Yeah, because he thought that they were going to have a very quick victory here, and they were going to have a move towards secularism.
