We have no reason to be there right now.

And so I think that also psychologically will play into this, you know, very much.

And it's also created an existential crisis for so many countries in the region over there right now.

And so there are just all these other forces at play.

You have Donald Trump just projecting weakness with every single post.

You have him getting angrier and angrier and trying to now build up and amass these forces

in order to target uh iran and the regime and and these key sources but then you have other people who understand this is existential and they say okay you do that well we have the moves prepared we this is a game of chess donald trump you know like geordie has said before donald trump doesn't play chess he like eats the pieces and throws the board off you know you know but they do that you know they're gonna go and they're gonna work with the houthis and they're gonna block the red sea right they're gonna start doing other things that are going to have another impact

And so I don't think Trump is even thinking that far ahead because Trump and all of his comments right now just seem woefully, woefully, woefully unprepared for what took place.

I mean, for Trump to even admit, I think he said it today again, to admit, then they started attacking this country and that country and Saudi Arabia and Qatar and Bahrain.

And we didn't know that was going to happen.

What do you mean you didn't know that was going to happen?

I knew that was going to happen.

not president of the united states i'm not privy to that intelligence but i read the reporting i read what iran was saying before you invaded they said they were going to do that what do you mean you didn't know they were going to do that so it's quite honestly quite like frightening that that's that we have a guy now who entered this war and is not even thinking of what the basics are and he just thinks that brute force and firepower can win this thing but if you think that's the case and i agree that the united states of america has the

best weapons in the world, the most powerful military in the world, bar none.

And those troops are incredibly skilled.

But if you think that's all it takes to win a war overseas, let me exhibit a, I don't know, Vietnam.

Should we go to Iraq?

Should we go to Afghanistan?

We could go to a long list of places where our leaders said the same thing.

We got the best military, the best firepower, the best munitions.
