If they were to sort of get a reassessment about America's energy stability or energy independence, that would be a really big story.

I also just think it's very interesting that the nuclear reacceleration, et cetera, that's happening.

That there's political will now.

And on that political will, his last point, which is like, what is the lesson that we keep learning is like strength matters.

And, you know, it's like Trump hasn't gone very hard against China because China went

very hard against the U.S.

Iran may end up in a situation in which it comes out stronger than it was two months ago, where it actually is collecting a toll, you know, getting a cash cow for the Strait of Hormuz.

So it's interesting is his point where it's like, OK, Europe, other parts of Asia, like what is the lesson that they learned from this?

And maybe the lesson is that sort of like biding your time and trying to be friendly and

Maybe that's not the answer.

Maybe stronger lines are the answer for global diplomacy right now.
