Let's start with Iran.
The U.S.
and Israel are in the middle of an attack on Iran, and the supreme leader is dead, but the regime is still holding on to power.
Where do you think this conflict will take us, and are we sleepwalking into World War III?
Let me double click on that point.
You mentioned there's multiple reasons that the administration has messaged for doing this multiple views on what success looks like multiple timelines on ending it, and that this is BB's war.
How do you think Trump was motivated to do this?
What is the real motivation?
And I will ask this in the context of the big delegation and visit to China coming up next month.
Is Trump motivated fundamentally to create leverage with China and use this as a tool to try and maximize his negotiating leverage going into the Chinese negotiations?
And you think that this is independent then of the action with Maduro and independent of the big delegation headed to China for a big negotiation next month?
Do you think there's more damage that can be done by being more successful?
You know, if we think back to Iraq, Iran is twice as many people, 100 million versus 50 million, four times the land area, a much better equipped military, and arguably the military system, the regime,
is embedded in every aspect of industry.
So the more successful the United States is in dismantling the Iranian regime, and as was advised by Condoleezza Rice, who apparently was just in the White House today and advising the president and publicly stated, it's time to finish them off, it's time to go all the way, etc.,
does that not then leave a country with no infrastructure, no leadership, 100 million people in tatters.
