And so like if the Iranian people want to rise up and change their government, that's up to them.

But we're not going to send 150,000 ground troops in order to accomplish a change in a regime unless the people on the ground themselves want to accomplish that outcome.

Now, we're not going to send the troops in regardless.

But like to propose sending in the troops –

You're basically saying that the U.S.

military should do the job for the Iranian people.

We're not in that business anymore.

We're just not.

And then I think a second outcome that people are – whether they're aware of it or not is what I call the Libya outcome.

So if you look at the end result of our Libya policy after Gaddafi was killed by the Obama administration, by the way.

Again, a very stupid decision.

What happened?

Libya basically turned into a failed state.

You had a refugee crisis.

You had people pouring into Europe, pouring into other parts of Asia, other parts of Africa.

You had a lot of violence, a lot of terrorism come from that.

I do think that there are people who would like that to be the outcome in Iran.

But then I say, again, what is in our interest?

How is it in the United States' interest to have 94 million desperate people flooding into Europe, flooding into the United States, to have sort of the terrorist infrastructure that can get established when you fan terrorists all over the world?

We've run this experiment before.
