So the idea you have a telegraphed imminent threat, it's not the nature of that regime.

It's lying, disguise, and dissimulation, and that's their pattern for the last 47 years.

But nobody's taken them seriously.

Every president said, we're going to deal with this, all seven of them.

And all seven of them did not.

And then all seven of them, when they got out of office, said, I regret that I didn't.

There's enough evidence to see how things are really going.

Europeans would never agree to go anywhere near Iran unless they thought the tide was turning and they think that we're going to win.

Otherwise, they would keep still.

The reason that the petro-nations of the Gulf survive is they have their finger in the wind and they're very attuned to the climate.

And when you have Al Jazeera praising the United States bombing campaign and saying that it's been underestimated and it's brilliant and effective, you get the feeling that they think not only should the United States finish the job, but it can and will finish the job.

And then when you start to see tactical aircraft

like Warthogs and Apaches, that means that they're offering almost ground and sea support to hit targets.

There's nothing, there's no defense at all when you have that type of aircraft flying at will in Iranian airspace.

So you put it all together, and I think it's pretty clear that

This rope-a-dope strategy that they have that we're going to tire before they are is dependent on just public opinion, the midterms, and the United States.

And if Trump sees it through, and I think he will, I think they're going to fall pretty soon, in two, three, four weeks.

make of that kurt yeah i hope he gets better um but i think that's a dissembling and inaccurate portrait of what's going on i mean first of all there's just basic facts he got wrong i'm not aware of any president um who has been president during the iranian or the islamic republic's existence that stated that they regretted that they didn't go harder on it in fact it's it's it's the opposite um carter's presidency was destroyed by a failed special forces raid

Carter's presidency was destroyed by trusting the hawks and not working out a pragmatic deal with the new leadership in Iran.

Reagan didn't say anything of this sort.
