So this needs to be understood as just one more piece of this.
Yes, he wanted to fight with Iran for 46 years, at least since 1980, probably 47 since 1979.
But what he thinks he learned from kidnapping the Venezuelan president and then suborning the Venezuelan government is I can do a decapitation and then own the oil of that country.
And so part of the motivation now was revenge, bring Iran back into the empire.
But part of the benefit of bringing Iran back into the American empire is you get the oil.
And he thought within one day he'll get the oil because just like removing Maduro from
he thinks, gave America Venezuela's oil, he thought killing the Iranian governmental leadership, starting with this religious supreme leader and then the top officials of the government that were meeting that day with the supreme leader, he would take the oil.
So that's the tableau.
This is why it's hard to take the exit ramp

To my mind, cruel, illegal, delusional.
So I don't abide by any of those reasons.
But there were reasons for this war.
And taking the off-ramp means that none of those would be fulfilled.
From my point of view, fine.
None of them was valid.
But from the point of view of the two architects of this war, Trump and Netanyahu, that's quite hard to do.
But, as I said, the alternative, which is an escalated war, within a few weeks could destroy the world economy.
There are enough reasons for drought as a natural condition of an arid and semi-arid reason that we don't have to go there.
Okay.
