And the way that international settlements will be done is completely different. You can if you watch like I do, you see all of the stitching together of a new system taking shape. So the U.S. does not have this great room for maneuver and it's all a game and we can do this and we can do that. The president needs to be really accurate right now, really accurate and understand that.

Also, don't overplay the hand. The world's not desperately waiting to get into the U.S. market, as I think he thinks, that these tariffs give all this leverage. No, the U.S. is not the big deal that maybe some people imagine right now. So we've got to get our act together, and you can't get your act together in war. That's the bottom line.

Syria was a normal functioning country at the time, despite whatever you read, whatever propaganda is said, Syria was a normal functioning country. I recently dredged out a report by the International Monetary Fund on Syria in 2009 that praised the Syrian government for its reforms and its rapid economic growth and looked forward to continued years of economic development.

In other words, it was not this... wasteland or this battlefield. It was an actual normal country. Was it a threat to the United States? It was no threat to the United States whatsoever, but it was deemed to be by Netanyahu a threat to Israel because of a simple reason, which is that Netanyahu wants to control Israel.

All of Palestine wants to rule over the Palestinian people, does not want a Palestinian state, and that has led to militant opposition. That's led to Hamas, that's led to Hezbollah, that's led to other groups.

Netanyahu's theory is, well, we're never going to allow a Palestinian state, so we have to bring down any government that supports those militant groups against us, because our core aim is greater Israel. That's not much of a worthy cause, by the way. Having a Palestinian state next door and having peace could have saved probably a million lives by now over the last 30 years.

But that's not Netanyahu's crazy ambition, which is... What is greater Israel? Greater Israel means, depending on how crazy the people are, either that... Israel controls not only its geographic territory, but that it essentially controls or annexes the West Bank, the Golan Heights, which they've just enlarged, Gaza. Golan Heights being part of Syria, historically. It was part of Syria. It's...

Now, there are two motivations for that. One, Netanyahu says, not safe to give it back because he doesn't want to negotiate any kind of peace or any state of Palestine. Then there are
