The second thing, I mean, I want to go to the class at the War College.

Ukraine and Iran have no Navy, and they've controlled the waterways.

I want to go to that class.

I want to study this.

I'm serious about that.

I think, you know, you and I have sat there, but we have a doctrine to fight two wars on two fronts simultaneously, capacity to do that.

We're going to have to change the doctrine to be able to say we're going to fight two wars, one conventional and one unconventional.

And we're not set up that way.

Either our military, our industrial base, or the capacity.

Both of these theaters, meaning what's happened in the Iran war and what's happened in Ukraine-Russia war, or Russia's war on Ukraine, has taught us an exponential lesson that we are not ready for the unconventional asymmetric war.

And we better.

That's the second war.

Now, March of 2025, a year ago, I wrote a piece for The Post, which is don't ask for Ukraine's minerals.

Ask for their drone technology.

That's where they're experts at.

Now, not only did we not ask for it, we rejected it when they offered to help.

The president doesn't know friend from foe.

And we are now stuck where our Gulf allies are buying weapons from Ukraine, but we stiff-armed them.

And they have no Navy, and they've destroyed the Russian Navy and the Black Sea.

We can claim, which appropriate, we have destroyed the Navy of Iran, but they control the Strait of Hormuz.
