I think, again, if the Strait remains closed, it's very difficult to see how Trump makes a compelling case that the U.S.
has entirely succeeded in this war.
Yeah, I mean, Don, we live in a reality where still the polling for the war is negative, but the vast majority of people who voted for Trump think it's fine.
And the vast majority of people who didn't vote for Trump think it's terrible.
And that would be the case.
I mean, you could have a war that was entirely disastrous, thousands of Americans dead, and you might still see most people who voted for Trump saying it's great.
You could have a war where
The regime bowed down and decided to become a pro-American vassal state.
And you'd still have people who oppose Trump saying it's not great.
I think for those voters in the middle who can be persuaded one way or the other, there is this question of, as you said, if we say Iran was moving toward a nuclear weapon, they can never have a nuclear weapon and we have prevented it.
With this operation, well, Iran still has a whole lot of highly enriched uranium that's sitting underground right now that was buried by strikes.
And Trump has talked behind the scenes about the possibility of an operation to go and get it.
But that would be an enormous risk.
undertaking you'd be talking about sending troops basically to create a construction site to dig underground take this material out while potentially taking fire it's a it's a incredibly complex operation so much so that i actually have a hard time seeing it happen although i'm happy to be proved wrong uh so you know they're probably going to end with not an entirely satisfactory outcome on the nuclear issue probably not an entirely satisfactory outcome on the missile issue they're not going to eliminate every missile
that Iran has and not a satisfactory outcome in terms of the leadership.
If it remains, you know, we replaced one hominid for a younger one, you know, so it's certainly not we've ticked every box.
This is exactly as we envisioned it.
And now we're going to go home happy.
What Trump is going to try to say is that we stated four goals going in.
We've moved the ball on all of them.
