So not even necessarily like a head fake to total war, but a head fake back to some type of military strikes or something like that.

And again, I do think your assessment of that is correct.

It's essentially like just trying to do something that might change the situation and then see what openings are there.

Because we don't see any right now.

So just do something and then maybe that will get back to it.

It's just, again, what Donald Trump is relying on here is it's not like a short memory or a short attention span.

Like you'd have to be, you know, like Dory from Finding Nemo.

Sorry, I got little kids.

These are my references.

You know what I mean?

Like, look, Donald Trump, it was only a few weeks ago that you announced this as a regime change war and demand demanded total surrender.

You know, how you're going to spin that into like, actually, I think we can make a deal that's good for everybody.

It's like, okay, and then you're going to try to pretend that this was your win.

And the sad thing is that in order to defend Donald Trump, what you have to rely on is almost like you have to treat him like a child.

You go, no, but he never meant any of those things he said.

It's just so brilliant to say that when you don't mean it at all or something like that.

I don't know, Rob.

I think...

know i gotta say as we you know the more this this war goes on it's like i don't know i think we got this one right i think we got this one right from the beginning and it wasn't that hard to get this one right there's been there's been some major ones that we got right before that i am more proud of in a way because i this was just so obvious and so easy but

this is this war is a disaster it was the stupidest thing in the world to launch this war who would have thought this is what we need another war in the middle east that's you know complete consensus amongst the american people that that was the last thing we people who couldn't agree on nothing else could agree on that that we don't need to fight another stupid war in the middle east oh and we got the president who ran on the campaign that we shouldn't fight another war in the middle east and he launched it anyway
