Kiev in three, and then we're at the border with Poland in two weeks.

And that just proved to be utterly catastrophically wrong, right?

So I'm very, very leery of taking what a regime, a dictatorship, totalitarian dictatorship says, um,

at face value, right?

Like they might believe their own propaganda, but we shouldn't.

So is it the case that a confrontation with them would be kind of, you know, the death knell of American military?

No, it probably isn't.

We would probably wipe the floor with them.

But again, it's not about how much fire and fury can be rained down on Iran.

It's about what happens next.

How do you stop the regime from doing the sorts of things that brought you to this point in the first place?

And I do not have an answer for that because I have been given no answer for that.

I have not seen anything credible.

And maybe it's out there.

That's not to say that there aren't these elaborate plans being cooked up, but I don't know what they are.

I'd be remiss to try and guess.

No, I think it's the ornamentalism of saying we've assembled this collection of nations that are all committed to ensuring that Gaza doesn't devolve into some Islamist hellhole and that IDF soldiers don't go in there and start shooting people up again.

I mean the problem with this is –

It's contingent upon other Middle Eastern countries deploying troops to secure Gaza.

And guess what?
