And I think you got to address like the psychological aspects of it also.

Right.

Like this is quite literally existential for Iran.

Like this, they you know,

Donald Trump, you know, do a ground invasion, win, you know, whatever those objectives may be.

Iran, you know, theoretically does not exist anymore.

This Iranian regime, it's over.

For the United States, this is a war of choice, and this is a war of Donald Trump's choice.

He pulled us in there.

We...

had no reason to be there.

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.
