Jen Psaki

That is true.

You know, it's very difficult to dig out of what the impact of that is.

And that was evident very quickly.

I mean, within days.

Well, it's a very slippery slope.

And so even as we've seen the buildup of troops sending more even to the Middle East over the past couple of weeks, I think there was something like 50,000, plus there was another announcement a couple of days ago about a couple more thousand.

It is a slippery slope where it becomes kind of clear that in most scenarios of war, troops on the ground, as they say, that's where it was headed.

And I think that is alarming on so many levels because that is something that is very difficult to dig out of.

Once you have people on the ground, you have the military and the commander in chief and others are going to want to do what they feel is winning.

And that is, again, a question we don't know the answer to.

What is winning here?

How do we win?

I mean, it's a big freaking question that they have not answered.

Also, we have a different view of that than Israel, which is a huge, massive, separate but important issue.

On the political front, I mean, I think there have already been lives lost.

You and I both know very well, and I think we've both heard Barack Obama say this many times.

I heard Joe Biden say this many times.

The most difficult phone call, the most difficult letter any commander in chief writes or should write, and I don't know how Trump feels, and I know he's devoid of human feeling and emotion in a lot of ways.

is to the family of somebody who died, even in a moment of, you know, a member of the military, even when they are defending the country, even when they are doing something that is of great honor and great sacrifice and certainly

They all are.
