President Trump, like Napoleon, is a master of the deal.
They both have a genius for war in their respective fields.
Napoleon, obviously kinetic, Trump in everything else as well as the kinetic.
So he's going to be able to outfight Xi Jinping and get him to place the appropriate pressure on Tehran.
At the same time, there's U.S.
military might and U.S.
military in theater, obviously, that could be called upon.
equally to go back to warfare if that's going to be required.
So we want to recognize, I think, the similarities between those individuals and to recognize that President Trump, again, a master dealmaker, is going to be able to ensure that he's using Beijing to put pressure on Tehran
to bring to resolution the issues that we have at hand and to ensure that the fragile peace is sustained.
Well, two thoughts.
Steve, most folks don't know that during World War II, Iran was occupied.
The British took the southern half of Iran and the Soviets occupied the northern half of Iran.
They didn't ask permission.
They just occupied it.
And the point of that was to ensure that aid, lend-lease aid, could flow from ports on the Persian Gulf into the Soviet Union through the Caucasus.
So the Soviets and the British just acted.
They didn't ask Iranian permission.
Likewise, President Trump meeting with Xi, I think there's a strategic logic there.
Communist China has an interest in having this resolved so that they can have access to that oil.
