They know what they're doing.

Like, this is not the Venezuelan army.

Like, this is an actual army.

Yeah.

Like, you can't do this shit.

There's a lot of guys left who have a lot of experience in preparing for this exact war for a very long time.

And who are ideologically motivated to not have the U.S.

like invade their country.

The issues here with the fact that there's no good way to open the strait, I think has been dictating a lot of what Trump's been doing with his negotiations.

And I've started calling them like market negotiations, because if you look at whatever Trump releases a statement.

So on Monday, for example, he released a thing saying like, oh, we've entered like peace negotiations, right?

And that was Monday morning as the markets were opening from a very panicky weekend where people were, it was sort of setting in that oil prices were going to be increasing.

And whenever Trump does one of these speeches where he says, oh, well, we're going to, we're going to find some way to open this trade.

Or he does these like peace, like he sends this peace deal to Iran, which we don't know the details of.

There was like a reported leak of it in the Israeli media, but we don't know exactly what's in it from that Israeli leak.

It didn't seem to be a I mean, it didn't seem to be something that the government would accept.

Right.

But the reason he's doing it is because he's trying to calm the markets down on a sort of on a sort of day by day basis.

And part of it also was that there was this whole panic that Trump had been threatening early this week to start doing all of these bombing campaigns against Iranian like civilian power facilities and supposedly non-civilian power facilities, too.

And then on Monday, he was like, no, no, no, we're not actually doing that.
