you know okay so there's a lot of really good points in there so let me first just just to kind of second your point there look i agree man i i would much rather this is kind of what i was getting at being kind of tongue-in-cheek like this is not a good way to be vindicated and i don't care about being vindicated and i i hope even though it would i don't know look worse for me

If Donald Trump was able to do this and there's no bad ramifications, I mean, there's already obviously been people have died, but hopefully no more people die.

And this ends.

And if that gives the hawks a talking point where they can brag about, see, you guys are alarmist and it's not that hard, whatever.

I'd rather have that in a very good comparison you make to like the vaccine injuries after you're warning people, don't take this vaccine.

But enough of them have you go, man, I hope I'm wrong.

And I hope there aren't vaccine injuries because I'm not rooting for death and destruction so that my prediction looks better.

That being said, I'm making the prediction for a reason or have been for a long time because there's a real risk to this stuff.

Now, to your point about the negotiations, it just can't be overstated.

It's not just Donald Trump and it's not just with Iran.

It's not just that Donald Trump can never be trusted to negotiate again.

But there's a precedent just for negotiating with America.

Period.

And, you know, the again, I hope I'm wrong about this, but the Iranians had already offered the JCPOA plus like they had offered the JCPOA without sunset, without sunset clauses and with more restrictions.

Donald Trump already had the off ramp of coming away going.

I negotiated a better deal than Obama did.

I do not see how that happens now.

I don't see how they go back to negotiating.

And, you know, one of the things and of course, I agree with you.

Look, I don't want to see any American boys get killed.
