I hear it a lot.

Steve, great to join you.

I think we had a great discussion today really looking at the conduct of the war very importantly.

Two points there.

The US is at war.

We've had killed in action and wounded in action.

That's very significant.

Second, the analysis that you've had on today have really demonstrated a lot of unknowns with respect to the conduct.

what's going on, what are our objectives in this war.

You choose the military instrument for political objectives, so it's very important to be clear about what those political objectives are in this conflict.

Additionally, I think not moving from the conduct to the consequences,

What are the consequences of this going to be for the United States for a foreign policy?

What's it going to be for states of the region?

And what's it going to be for the conflict vis-a-vis China against the Chinese Communist Party?

Because international politics, you never get a timeout.

While we're focused on Iran, the CCP is acting differently.

continuing their aggression against key allies like Japan, the Philippines, and partners like Taiwan.

So it's very important to think about what we're addressing and rightfully focused on the conduct of it.

The consequences are equally profound.
