What do you think, Rob?

You know, I mean, I guess there maybe are a couple of silver linings to take away from this, which is that he is setting himself up to meet none of his objectives and then walk away from it.

He is, you know, the...

I guess you could hope that what this is is setting up like, we're going to drop a lot of bombs, we're going to blow a lot of shit up, and then we're going to leave and claim victory.

I mean, dude, your doll hair is just so perfect.

It's like literally like, it's just like the most disingenuous fucking arguments.

Like, we did achieve regime change.

Dude, that's not what regime change means.

That's not what regime means.

If you kill the leader and then the IRGC picks a new leader or the mullahs pick a new leader, that is not overthrowing the regime.

This is the same regime.

Can I say it did accomplish something?

And I'll be honest, we probably have not spent enough time talking about this on the show.

But the fucking with, I guess, the approval of the new government there in Venezuela, we have been blockading all energy from going into Cuba, which I guess is really what I mean.

Look.

The National Security Advisor slash Secretary of State has been claiming all along that this was a bank shot to Cuba and that that's what this was about.

And so I guess maybe we should take him at his word there.

And they did let that Russian oil ship in.

So at least there's that.
