There is no short-run solution here.
I think you're right.
We're in a place where it's an either-or.
Either we go all the way or we stop short and the U.S.
loses and they don't achieve their objectives.
And I think, again, going back to the framework here, the Trump administration has said, we realize this.
We're going to tolerate the short-run pain to achieve our long-run goals.
What they're betting is that they can break the Iranians before...
But can you achieve that goal with the IRGC, which is the government of Iran, still in power?
I mean, what I love about the Trump administration, they have pushed all of our enemies to the five-yard line.
Venezuelans, the Cubans, the Iranians, nobody.
We were stuck on our own 30-yard line and just sitting around in an internal huddle for 20 years.
But there's no points until you get to the goal.
Right.
So, I mean, yeah, obviously there's a tremendous argument whether they can execute the plan, but I think that's the plan.
There's not going to be a short run, hey, let's get the Hormuz thing open and we'll negotiate later.
This is either or.
Either the Iranians break or we leave.
Yeah, and the tough part is that there's the absence of a rebel group and there's an absence of a clear-necked leader in the country, which is normally something you have when you have a revolution.
Yeah, again, it's a game of chicken.
