One, obviously the politics.
Two, we're running low on precision munitions.
Three, the Gulf states aren't so sure we can protect them from Iranian retaliation.
Now, I also think the Iranians don't particularly want to get bombed again.
either so i think both sides are ready for a deal and then both sides are trying to avoid over bidding for a deal i think we'll get a basic trade of the blockade our blockade for an opening of the strata for moves in some form or another and then and then you'll see what you can get on on the nuclear the problem trump has is i think at the moment he seems more eager for a deal than the iranians are and the iranians see that
Sense that and to once the Iranians at the outset of the conflict Claimed de facto control of the straight and we couldn't or didn't or whatever take it back Then they have this enormous strategic shit that you have to negotiate over to get back before you even get to the nuclear stuff Which you consider most important, so I think there'll be a deal and the devil will be in the details especially on the the nuclear side of it and
Well, I agree with both of you insofar as I don't think that this is different for Trump.
I agree with all the criticisms you laid out, Megan, at the beginning, but I don't think they're new.
I think you could apply them to anything Trump has done really in 11 years.
But I agree with you that this is perhaps playing differently and perhaps should play differently because this is a war.
and not something inconsequential, not to downplay the importance of debates.
I think they're a key part of our system around elections, but it matters a lot less whether you show up to a debate than whether a serviceman dies.
I mean, I think there are a couple of things going on to substantiate that.
One is that we are quite late on now in Trump's presidency.
If you view it as a two term presidency back to back, we would start to be talking about him being a lame duck, people becoming exhausted with him.
But he didn't serve back to back.
He served with a four year gap.
So we're now in year 11.
of Trump and people are just tired of it.
And I think with this one, the gap between the stakes and his behavior, uh, is just difficult, uh, to wipe away.
