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.
They're not even talking about the missile program and saying publicly that the fact that Ron refuses to talk about ballistic missiles being a big, big problem.
I also just to add, like from the political sense, I mean, this is this is a messaging challenge for this administration.
I mean, President Trump in the summer said that they obliterated the nuclear program over the summer.
If it's obliterated, then it's pretty far off from threatening the United States in any time in the near future.
And even if it's partially there, it was only partially obliterated, etc.,
For Trump to now or to if he goes forward and strikes another nuclear site, I think there's going to be a question about credibility.
If he goes after the nuclear program again and says kind of similar language, I think he is under pressure to kind of.
