at the end of the Cold War, or even before that. It really predates the end of Cold War. It really goes back to the Cold War where the, you know, in the post-Vietnam era, especially the Democrats were the doves, Republicans were the hawks. It really kind of transcends that. And you have this transpartisan movement to keep America engaged in the world.

And I think it's good for America to be engaged in the world, but engaged in the world so that their primary purpose is not to protect American interests or safety or or the conditions of American prosperity, but to ensure that America is enforcing liberal hegemony. So getting back to Iran, there's a lot of reasons why people want war with Iran.

Well, I think Donald Trump has exposed them because they're essentially, I mean, some of the biggest advocates of war with Iran, whether it's groups like Foundation for Defense of Democracy, writers at certain publications, essentially they are saying the problem with diplomacy is it doesn't lead to regime change, is that the policy should be regime change.

It's almost like the nuclear issue is really about creating a pathway to regime change. And it really still goes back to this idea is a lot of them deep down inside believe that and some of them say it out loud, that we could have made Iraq successful. And Iraq is just a mess. It is an absolute just cluster. Well, it's a proxy of Iran to the country they hate. Let me just make a note on this.

The most deadly forces in the middle, the forces that pose the most risk to the United States, United States forces, are the popular mobilization forces in Iraq.
