this war in the total sum of what it achieves.

That obviously depends on the deal.

We don't know what that's going to look like at the moment.

But right now, it's not looking good.

No.

And this is where you have to say that the questions some people are asking of the Trump administration, the administration prioritized loyalty in the second term because they had to, because their first term was spent dealing with leakers, dealing with people who were dishonest, dealing with people who were borderline traitors in some cases, right?

So they had to prioritize people who would be loyal

over other things.

And so perhaps, you know, one of the things that caused this is there was an over-focus on loyalty, and therefore there's nobody who's prepared to speak truth to power in that White House, or not enough people, or the questions aren't being, I don't know, I'm not there, and so I can't judge.

But given the conversations that we had in private in the U.S., and also what we've seen since, I mean, let's be honest, our conversation with Robert Pape, I think it's approaching a million views now.

Mm-hmm.

And there's a reason for that, which is everything he said turned out to be correct.

Yeah.

Basically, right?

I don't remember a single thing he said that has not transpired in the two months since we sat down with him.

There's a turn.

Yeah.

Yeah, because what he was saying, if for people who didn't watch it or don't remember, is basically America's put itself in a trap and this will either get worse or America will have to capitulate effectively.

That's what he was saying.

That's because of the geography and the economic realities.
