Don't send them.

Peace and love, yes.

No, no, we're here visiting.

Yes, sir.

I think history tells us that usually with the troops that are sent, it usually ends up in a disaster.

The troops end up not...

De-stabilizing the zone, not ending up in a democracy in the countries that are militarized.

And the veterans that come here don't end up being treated well.

So I think it's all around a bad idea.

Every day, we are taking out their missiles, their missile systems, and the factories that build those missiles.

And now the General Kane, Secretary Hegseth, are leading a campaign to destroy all the fortifications along the Straits of Hermosa.

Again, they're not mutually exclusive.

Sometimes you have to escalate to de-escalate.

You know, it's fascinating because there's two ways of looking at this.

One is to go back and forth between these oscillations that you've been discussing.

Right.

One day he's President Trump's talking about dramatic escalation.

And the next day he's talking about negotiation.

But from from the national security space, what reporters are trying to do is just look and see what he's doing.

And what he's doing is sending thousands and thousands of troops.
