Well, look, let's go back.
He runs for re-election with the message,
Oh, I think I'm getting the exact word, but I'm getting the sentiment right, which is a leader at a different class.
That was the message.
And it had pictures of him with Putin and pictures with him with Trump.
So that was actually what he campaigned on publicly.
So you don't have to kind of we don't have to be archaeologists or anthropologists here.
That's what he campaigned on, that he could play at a level that nobody else played.
So it's in his own words.
But again, you know, only the president of the United States can order American servicemen and women.
Only the president of the United States can order resources that are pulled out of the Indo-Pacific, pulled out of different theaters to that theater, pulled THAAD weapons out of South Korea, pulled Patriots that were supposed to go to Ukraine.
Only the commander in chief can do that.
And so, you know, the prime minister made his case.
Doesn't mean you have to buy it.
I don't believe...
Look, I mean, it's a theoretical discussion, or a hypothetical, rather.
I don't think the President of the United States would do that.
And while I have zero confidence in the people around him, and I mean that from the Cabinet to the White House, I actually think they would hit the pause button.
They would find some nerve of character to step up and say what they didn't do here, meaning here being the lead-in to the Iran war.
