You know what I'm saying?

When there's an Indian ship or a Chinese ship or whoever, these are countries that have nuclear weapons that are sovereign nations.

You know what I mean?

So now you're going to start flirting with an act of war against all of these other countries all to try to get this thing opened again?

This is...

This is madness.

Go ahead.

Yeah, and causing a lot of real pain to other third party countries who had nothing to do with any of this.

And now our expectation is that, oh, even though we are the ones causing pain to your economy,

you better be on our side against the Iranians here.

To your point with China, I think probably where they... Who was it that you said was blogging about that?

It's a great blog.

I think I may have read that a time or two.

Yeah, well, I think what he might be going off there, which is it's an astute point, is that there was... When Donald Trump had threatened all types of tariffs against China, and at one point they did just play hardball, and they go, okay, well, you do that, then no more...

um what's it called uh as you just mentioned minerals precious metals or whatever and then he backed off immediately you know it's like the idea that you know you you think messing with Iran is a tall order like dude China's got all types of ways they could put crazy economic leverage on America

I mean, go look around your house right now and see how much of your stuff is made in China.

And you might think that shouldn't be the case and that stuff should be made in America or whatever.

But right now it's not.

And to immediately transition away from that would be a nightmare.

So anyway, it's yeah, there's a lot of and then, of course, also they got a whole lot of H-bombs, those Chinese, you know what I mean?
