So the motivation behind what he's saying, I think, is to reassure the stock market, to reassure people about the economy, to keep oil prices from spiking too high.
Because if he said anything else, like, oh, we're going to be there until September, he
you know, everybody would panic and the stock market would drop and, and the oil prices would shoot through the roof and, you know, everybody would be screaming about it.
So I think a lot of his statements about this is saying there is an end date.
It's not far away, but we're not there yet.
And, you know, saying we're two or three weeks away might be a little bit like what Scott used to say about how future technologies, Oh, it's always 10 years out.
You know, but I do think it's likely that it probably would end at that timeframe because I think it,
you know, the, the same motivation he has, it's not just a temporary thing.
Like he is trying to talk the market up and talk oil down.
But I think he knows that if he stayed in Iran and kept bombing and did ground invasions and had a big, you know, if it turned into like another Iraq or Afghanistan, that that would ruin our economy.
It would ruin the oil prices.
It would ruin everything and midterms and everything else.
So I think, um,
To me, I think it is sincere.
I think he is probably planning to wrap it up in the next couple weeks.
I don't know what will be left at that point.
I do believe that we've knocked out most of their capabilities for nuclear and that we've knocked out most of their missile capability.
Yeah, I mean, well, I mean, that's what he said.
I'm not sure if that's true.
You know, maybe that they just sort of sit there and watch for a while to make sure that nothing big happens.
