He cut bait.
He cut a separate deal with the Houthi leadership, and he said this is basically an Israeli problem.
Now, Yemen and the Houthis are much smaller potatoes than the Iranians, but the Israelis must have to fear that contingency, and they should fear it.
That if the war got really nasty and the Iranians put up much more of a fight this time, which I
deeply suspect they will, that Trump and the U.S.
will just get out and then the Israelis will have a war that they can't finish.
Well, it's hard to make the argument that you're focused on the economy if you're starting new foreign wars.
And then additionally, this is a foreign war, unlike some of the other of the adventures that Trump has flirted with that actually could really spiral the economy.
I mean, it is not going to be hard for the Iranians to close the Strait of Hormuz.
the very small channel of water that a lot of global oil goes through.
If the Iranians close it, and all they had to do to close it is start firing a few missiles or a few bullets literally at ships, and no one's going to put their sailors through it, no one's going to insure those kinds of ships, except for black market pirates, frankly.
that could spike the price of crude to, let's say, $80, $90 a barrel.
So 1.5x, 2x.
Americans aren't going to like that.
Americans aren't going to understand why we're doing this.
Moreover, I think that there's a sort of canard or leitmotif
that basically Trump's support is durable.
I agree with that.
I think if we do this war with Iran and we are calling people at Easter, say early April, and they ask, do you support the president?
If you call the median listener to War Room and you ask them, do you support the president?
