I don't think war was a preferred option.
He would be much happier if there was an agreement that allowed everything to kind of stay in place.
Iran would abide by nuclear restrictions, missile restrictions, proxy restrictions, and then a Trump casino gets built in Tehran.
That would have made him happy because, yeah, that is about the personal.
That is about the brand.
And it's also he sees that as benefiting the United States, benefiting the U.S.
's global partners in the region.
But I think a lot of this is personally driven.
I would agree.
The president did go to the prime minister about, I think, using Diego Garcia and other bases and was turned down, if I'm not mistaken, right?
So there was some awareness that something was being planned.
And the prime minister said that the UK government would have no part in any of that.
He has that right.
As the commander-in-chief, as the chief executive of the United States, the DOD, or now the DOW, and CIA fall under the executive branch.
They don't fall under the legislative branch.
They don't fall under the judicial branch.
So the president has, and always has, had the ability to take these types of actions and write executive orders.
What's so different here is
is that while we're talking about CIA and CIA being used by the president in his exercise of authority, what we're all not talking about, what we're missing, is that CIA has been gutted.
This is the same president that went to war with CIA in his first term.
