It just drives me crazy. voice-verified

The other big piece of news today is that last night the Iranians fired missiles at a number of U.S. voice-verified

bases in the Middle East. voice-verified

And I am curious as to what you make of this. voice-verified

What is the strategic point of what Iran is doing? voice-verified

Or maybe there is no strategic point that these decisions are being made because, you know, command and control has been dispersed to the mosaic level. voice-verified

You tell me, what should we think about this? voice-verified

What do you think Iran's endgame is here? voice-verified

Do they have one? voice-verified

I mean, are they just sort of maneuvering within the, you know, what context appears to them day to day? voice-verified

Or do they have an actual, like, this is how we think this ends? voice-verified

So I have a couple of questions going forward from this. voice-verified

I wrote about this a day or two ago, and it would be very bad for America and the world for Trump to do that. voice-verified

But he does things that are very bad for America and the world all the time. voice-verified

So it's not like this would be the first time he's done, you know, going to war. voice-verified

This war was very bad for America and the world. voice-verified
