Do you think that they actually believe you're willing to do something on this red line that you've drawn?

And he was flipping in the response.

I think it was a CNN reporter.

And he said, stupid CNN, what do you think?

You don't think they saw the B-2 bombers last June?

You don't think they just saw what happened to Maduro?

You think that they don't realize I'm willing to use force?

Have I not proven that already?

And in fact, two things can be true.

They have, in fact, been proven by him that he's willing to use force.

And they're also a crazy, maniacal, radical dictatorship that is trying to keep control, will not just go peacefully into the night, is not just going to call up Putin and say, can I have the condo?

And they're going to mass murder 35,000 people or more in the streets in 48 hours on a level we haven't seen since World War II.

So this is the reality the president now faces.

I think you're hitting a very critical point here.

And by the way, if the internal security forces still have machine guns in the streets and APCs and whatever else and are willing to just gun down another 10,000, people will have learned their lesson already and are not just running back into the streets into the machine gun fire just because some base 30 miles away got hit.

However...

there is a long game here in addition to the short game.

And in the long game, if you prioritize all of the external threats, the most severe external threats that deter the United States or deter the West in some way from continued pressure, from isolation, from coercion, they were at the very top, the ability to cross the nuclear threshold.

That threat was the number one extortion tool

and it was taken away from them last June.
