We can barely govern our own.

And they've made that repeatedly clear.

I think it's one of the reasons why they voted for President Trump, because he promised not to do more regime change wars.

And now suddenly, because MAGA loves it, and MAGA loves everything that he does, which may be true, but MAGA is a small portion of the voting population.

I think it's going to create a lot of political problems for Trump in the midterms, but much more importantly, major geopolitical problems for the United States.

So this is not new, Megan.

I mean, nobody doubts that the United States has the most powerful military on the planet.

China is caught up in a lot of ways.

But overall, the United States military is by far the most powerful military force on the planet.

I don't know anyone literally who doubts that.

We are now spending a trillion dollars a year, the first ever trillion dollar a year budget on our military.

This is all going to the coffers of Boeing and Northrop Grumman and Palantir and all the rest of the military industrial complex that I thought we were supposed to be worried about and we're trying to weaken.

So if you want to take the position that, hey, we're back to 2002, we're just going to go around the world bombing people, invading people.

That doesn't work.

President Trump himself is saying, no, we're going to rebuild Venezuela.

Are you going to hear me?

Yes, I was saying there's this attempt to distinguish between what this is and neoconservatism by saying, no, the neocons wanted to nation build.

They actually really didn't.

They just wanted to bomb and kill enemies.

And that's what we were doing.
