So that's actually like pretty close to my first principle, like just outright. Well, you've simplified it, haven't you, Kurt? Yes, yes. But the Iran war would be still like the worst and like not something that we should pursue. And look, foreign policy experts at this point will chime in on this conversation being like, oh, well, that's just so unrealistic. That's not actually what we want.

This is actually just a ridiculous externality. But I think it is worth noting that... We have done wars toppling governments throughout the region over the last 25 years. So number one, it's happened very recently. Number two, it is kind of the explicit goal of the hardliners. And the hardliners keep moving the overage window in their direction.

And so while this is perhaps not 100% certain, hardly, there is a hard drive towards doing this and picking off Pentagon deputies and allowing leaders like Trump and Vance to be surrounded by hawks and no dissenting voices whatsoever. Yes. Is absolutely essential towards any road to war.

Well, there's precedent for this. So what you're just, I don't know. I don't know any of the people you just described personally.

Okay, so a lot of people are comparing Trump to Reagan these days. Yeah. And I think it is an inaccurate comparison, but there obviously are comparisons that are very different human beings, is basically my position. So if you accept that Trump is the biggest cheese since Reagan on the Republican side, what happened in the Reagan years?

So the neoconservatives, that is people who came from the left and moved to the right, were very, very savvy conservatives. effective and reasonable at domestic policy. They were very, very good on the crime issues of the day. And their periodicals gained currency because, hey, actually we should clean up the streets of New York, et cetera, et cetera, et cetera, et cetera, et cetera.

Yeah. But by the 90s and 2000s, you know, if you believed in, you know, some crime enforcement in New York, you also had to believe towards the march towards regime change in Iraq. And so, again, I don't want to sound- I'm skipping that part of the buffet line.
