um in this way not the way trump's been doing it but you don't want you don't want to follow the pattern that they're prepared for because that means they've laid enough defenses i'm taking it very seriously because trump has no idea what the f he's doing well this is the this is the age-old question though why don't you think that it's just another negotiating play i

Well, let's just start with the baseline here.

Every aspect of the ceasefire has been a fake lie.

It's been a lie.

So why assume now that suddenly, oh, now this is going to be the turning of the corner to serious negotiations?

It is not.

Second of all, the issue here now is the Strait of Hormuz itself.

What does it represent?

It is basically the jugular of the global economy.

It is 20% of the oil supply.

18 percent, I think about 18 percent of the natural gas, one third of the world's agricultural supplies, notably urea and fertilizer.

All of that's choked up right now since basically the beginning of the war.

Trump knows because last week Politico reported this.

All the American oil CEOs trundled up to the White House on Friday afternoon last week and said, Mr. President, we are reaching bottom of the barrel because.

Thank you for watching.

And he can't goose the system anymore with all of his rhetoric.

So I think he's trying very hard to figure out, how do I restore the oil flows so whatever economic pain there is, it's short-lived?

And I think his solution here is the insane one.

It's, oh, we're going to have to take Karg Island and land troops there and restart the oil, and we'll just intercept all that oil.

and redirected, and we'll do sea control from Karg Island.
