He wanted to go in January 15th.
As you note, he was called off by the Arabs and the Turks.
He wanted to go in three weeks ago when I was last on the show, but the Navy said we're not ready yet.
But now those factors are no longer as much of a concern.
The Saudis have indicated that they are willing to participate in shooting down any stray missiles that might be fired by Iran in retaliation for strikes.
The Israelis are indicating they are going to go in no matter what, which is going to drag us in.
And the Navy and Air Force are saying, OK, we're basically ready to roll.
And I think Trump wants to have Israel's back.
And this is something I think is a mistake.
But I do believe that he has made this decision irrespective of what's going on in Gaza.
Because it's going to have negative impacts on the economy here during the midterms.
I have no problem saying let's get rid of the regime in Iran.
I just don't think right now is the time to do that, and I don't think the way we're talking about doing it is going to be good.
It's not going to be a quick, easy thing.
This is going to drag us in, and we're never going to be able to break ourselves free, and people are going to be blaming Trump for this like they blame George W. Bush for Iraq.
I think that we should be avoiding this, drawing down our forces in the Middle East, and starting to focus, as you know, on Western Hemispheric Defense and space dominance.
We do not need to be in the middle of this fight.
Let the locals figure it out, and they will.
But if we keep intervening, we're going to keep distorting the geopolitics, and it's going to give Israel all kinds of ideas that they can do more than they really can, and it's going to cause us to get into a major regional war.
We can't afford it right now.
