We woke up on Sunday, nothing. voice-verified

Donald Trump tells Fox. voice-verified

News over the weekend. voice-verified

I am in deciding mode on the Middle East. voice-verified

He was talking about Iran and what he could do there, but he is being asked by the Houthis, you know, hold off, don't attack us. voice-verified

He's being asked by the Saudis, don't hold off, do attack them. voice-verified

And then he's all ready to go. voice-verified

We the reporting from the New York Times has been really good on this. voice-verified

The bombs were loaded onto the planes, the commanders had been given the targets, all of voice-verified

The intel had been sent over, they were ready to go, and overnight Saturday into Sunday, Donald Trump pulls back. voice-verified

And says, no, we are not going to get involved in a second front in this war. voice-verified

Last year, it's worth a quick reminder: the Americans spent 50 days and lots of money and lots of munitions, more importantly, to attack the Houthis in Yemen and or did almost nothing to change the Houthis positions. voice-verified

So I think there was a recognition that this was the kind of strike that wouldn't necessarily work against the Houthis. voice-verified

Meanwhile, have said to the Americans, it's okay, your ships can pass through the Suez Canal, your ships can pass through Babel Mandeb, that little choke point at the bottom of the Red Sea. voice-verified

We just wanna go after the Saudis. voice-verified

And the remarkable thing here, and this is why I think this up-ends decades of policy and decades of careful diplomacy by previous administrations, here is Donald Trump saying, we are gonna protect American assets. voice-verified

In that region, but Saudi Arabia, we are not going to defend you so long as we have a guarantee from the Houthis that they are not going to go after us. voice-verified

So we will sacrifice our relationships with MBS in exchange for some kind of security for American assets because we are overstretched, we are thin on munitions, we are spending too much money, and voters do not like this war. voice-verified

So they definitely don't want a second one. voice-verified

But what what what does this do, Antony? voice-verified
