Well, rhetorically speaking, sure, Donald Trump will just, you know, decide that we're off whenever he says we're off.

But I think, you know, on a material level, no, because, you know,

this is either a regime change war or it's not a regime change war.

Like that's a sort of binary, right?

You have the new Supreme leader who is the son of the previous Supreme leader.

Are they going to try to kill him?

And if so, are they gonna take out the entire regime?

And are they going to then try to install

you know, the son of the last monarch, or are they going to try to install somebody else?

So, like, if you think about the sort of neocons who have been pushing for war on Iran for decades and decades, really, like, that was not about just killing the Supreme Leader or just, you know, like, taking out their long-range missiles.

That was a regime change push.

And what I'm saying is that would take a much, much, much bigger effort.

It would be much more protracted as, you know, again, as Phil's been saying, it would take ground troops.

It would take, you know, a sort of building effort on the inside.

And I think that Trump,

doesn't understand this probably.

Um, and he, he doesn't really have an, on one level, he wants to be able to say, you know, mission accomplished.

We did it on the other level.

He doesn't want to just stick around and, you know, he's afraid of these forever wars just because he knows what they would do to his legacy.

So he doesn't have, there's, there's no good answer for him basically.
