I think it's a combination of Ukraine and China's military exercises and action in the South China Sea and the whole sort of what we're not seeing.
There's this argument that China's watching what's going on with the U.S.
and Iran.
Here we are depleting our interceptors, our munitions.
China's meanwhile stockpiling everything.
You know, it's resources.
And does this put us at a disadvantage if and when the day comes where China decides to take proactive, aggressive action vis-a-vis Tehran?
That's something to think about.
And I think that I'm worried about the risk of nuclear war in that instance.
I don't think Iran by itself in a vacuum is moving the needle on that sort of nuclear risk meter.
I read today the interceptor to missile ratio, something like 25 to 1, that the interceptors needed to catch these ballistic missiles that Kuwait, the UAE, Israel is using.
They're like upwards of 10, 15 times more expensive.
Yes.
And these drones are relatively cheaply made, these Shahed drones that they're using.
So, you know, there is that aspect of it too that Iran can just –
Yes.
Like a madman, all these sort of expendable munitions.
And meanwhile, we're spending three, four, five, ten times as much to intercept them.
So we have to separate between the IRGC and the National Army.
They serve two different functions.
