that being right or wrong about Iran was less important for his political future than making sure that he figured out where Trump wanted to be and got there so that he could be on Trump's side so that win or lose with Iran, whether the war went well or badly, he was always with Trump, right?
And so the king would look, well, my loyal courtier Marco was with me.
I mean, I got to say, based on Marco's career of figuring out where he needs to be to get ahead politically,
The only misstep he's ever made was being anti-Trump in 2016.
Yeah, really calculating.
And so that's why I don't know that he got here because this is adherence to neocon principles or because I don't know that Marco honestly has any principles other than in the very long game.
He wants the Castro regime gone in Cuba.
Yeah, right.
Right.
I mean, that that that is his kind of like Trump's tariffs.
You know, the one thing that he actually cares about is Cuba.

What would that look like?
Something that becomes a real total economic.
It's like a recession, just like a normal recession.
