Yeah, I mean β
I think that is fair to say for sure.
I mean, he is the vice president of the United States.
I was a bit surprised that he would come out and say that publicly, considering Trump, his MO is to always say that all options are on the table.
And the rhetoric that he uses talking to the public is often one of the biggest parts of the strategy for his team in trying to put pressure on the Iranian regime.
Clearly, he is trying to put as much pressure as possible.
So I was surprised about that.
But, you know, look, this is Trump.
I mean, he campaigned this time and in 2016 on a being a president of peace, of not taking the United States into a war, of not wanting to start another never ending war in his term.
it seems very much in Trump's stead to want to find some type of option where he could go in and out.
You know, as Greg is talking about, maybe it'd be a day, maybe it'd be a couple of days.
But I think President Trump wants something very clearly where he can go in, get out and declare victory and not have any type of situation remotely similar to
to Iraq or Afghanistan.
But, you know, this is when you get into military conflicts, there's just so much uncertainty.
I did find it interesting, though, that Trump has been and the administration has been talking more about the missile program from Trump's remarks in the State of the Union, talking about how Iran is closer than ever to getting missiles that potentially reach the United States, which seems a little bit of an exaggeration.
You would know more than I would, Greg.
But also Marco Rubio this week talking about
How the talks and kind of expressing some frustration with the lack of progress in the talks, but expressing a lot of frustration about that.
