Well, who else?
Eric Prince.
Eric Prince is a war loving military contractor who built private armies and made a fortune profiting from conflict.
He is not big on restraint or caution.
He loves war.
He pushes for more intervention and more force and more aggressive military action around the world.
And even Eric Prince is saying this Iran thing is a bad idea.
It could spiral quickly.
Trump should not escalate further.
And he's talking about the possibility of burning American warships and a conflict that goes.
at least regional, if not potentially further than that.
When Eric Prince is telling you, hey, you got to slow down on the interventions here, your alarm bells should be going off because he loves this stuff.
Now, at the same time, Trump's polling shows the base, the hard base of Trump is still overwhelmingly behind the war.
And there is a split inside the movement because you have influential voices, even if it is not the majority of voices.
You've got influential voices raising major concerns and the base is totally locked in.
And this is how internal fractures start to form.
Trump built a lot of his appeal around avoiding these types of conflicts, or at least saying he would avoid these types of conflicts.
We he's not going to get us into these foreign policy disasters.
That was Bush.
It was going to be Hillary or Biden or Kamala.
