And so I think this is actually what could actually stop an all-out war at the 11th hour.

And at this point, you've got to take what you can get.

If this prevents a war, I think that's a sort of reemergence of financial peace theory.

Yeah, for sure.

You go to www.theamericanconservative.com.

We are a magazine founded by Patrick J. Buchanan and other conservatives in 2002 against the Iraq War.

We are the encore generation that are working against a new Iran war today in the 2020s.

And you can find my own information at Kurt Mills at C-U-R-T-M-I-L-L-S on X. And yeah, you can find me there.

And I think, you know, look, very quickly,

The point you made about 1979 is very useful.

You know, a lot of times, you know, Lindsey Graham is arguing that Trump should be, quote, Reagan plus, putting aside the hilarity that Trump doesn't really seem to like that name.

Something that Trump actually should avoid is becoming Carter plus.

When the Iranian revolution first happened, what occurred is that the hawks and proto neocons

around Brzezinski urged them not to work with the new regime.

You don't have to like the new regime, but the fact is they controlled Iran.

They argued for accepting the Shah to the US.

They argued for the special operation, Operation Eagle's Claw, that failed.

And so, you know, yes, Trump is probably pretty high on the special forces operation in Venezuela that got Maduro.

But it's not a clear the military options here.

And there's tons of risk and not a lot of upside.
