And there could also be angels and demons. matched

These could be two totally separate things. matched

And then J.D. matched

You know, you see Mike Pence, who's sort of a super hawk, my predecessor, who say this, there are people, you know, who are super hawkish in the American system who have attacked the deal and frankly, in some ways, have tried to derail the deal. matched

And what I always say to those people is, what is your proposal? matched

What is your actual argument? matched

So just take the Strait of Hormuz, like the narrowest, but in some ways, the most important part of this back and forth right now. matched

Strait of Hormuz is a narrow waterway. matched

To the extent you shut it down, you shut down 25% of the world's energy supply, okay? matched

Joe, you could take $100,000 and go buy a bunch of drones on the black market and post yourself on an island in the Strait of Hormuz or near it, and you could fire drones at those ships, okay? matched

Now, what does that mean? matched

some oil and gas is still going to get out because some ships and some ship captains are going to say, screw you. matched

Now, the United States can help that, right? matched

We can shoot down some of those drones. matched

We can shoot down some of those missiles. matched

And so we can facilitate the flow of traffic. matched

But the people who are like, you cannot negotiate with the Iranians. matched

The reason why that's fundamentally idiotic is because so long as you have matched

some person who's willing to fire off a few cheap drones you're going to have some ship captains who say no no we're not willing to do this so we got to kind of use all tools at our disposal the military is one tool but diplomacy is another tool and i'm very frustrated by the americans and frankly by people in other countries who are like you cannot negotiate with the iranians well then what is your proposal to get people to stop shooting at ships in the strait of hormuz you can bomb them matched

You can take away their radar, you can take away some of their drones and some of their missiles, but it's just too easy to fire at ships in the Straits, so you've got to actually be willing to talk. matched
