There was a lot of really bombastic language that happened throughout this war.
And again...
I think Tom's right in terms of the audience that often Hegseth is speaking to, but it is heard around the world.
And it was striking to me that we didn't hear the kind of pushback, I think, that maybe some would have expected given the impact on the battlefield.
You could feel the discomfort in that silence, but it wasn't enough to sort of challenge the president's assertions, and that was striking to me.
I should also note that...
There is a willingness to kind of support funding the war, which at the time the president was asking for $200 billion.
I think the question going forward will be whether they continue to support the military in terms of the budget.
The president's asking for $1.5 trillion.
Much of that will go towards rebuilding some of the damage that happened to ships.
We saw the USS Gerald IV, the newest aircraft carrier,
caught on fire during this conflict, the restocking of munitions, particularly those air defenses, there is a cost.
And I think the Republicans will be confronted with sort of whether they're willing to pay for it literally.
And then in terms of political costs, given that the president had campaigned on the promise to not go into these kinds of wars in this region specifically.
I think on a global scale, what we saw from this war is another region that is sort of reconsidering its relationship with the United States from a security perspective.
In the run up to this, you'll remember that the president threatened to attack Greenland.
And you saw the sort of shocks of that go through Europe in terms of could they count on the United States as a reliable partner.
During this conflict, he threatened to leave NATO immediately.
because they wouldn't come to the defense of the Strait and then later said that we didn't need NATO because we don't need the oil and we don't care about the Strait.
So again, there was sort of a tension there.
