So I don't know that there's I mean, I guess there's a difference of a mine versus a blockade.
But it just seems like Donald Trump is walking back yesterday's potential peace plan.
I don't think it was actually a hardline demand of Iran.
I think it was more, it would be nice if Iran did this too.
I think we're back to square one, which is the only way out of this is restraining Israel and giving Iran the victory of probably tolling the Straits and being able to sell oil to other countries.
But Donald Trump's not not willing to admit that defeat yet.
thought the uh the the part that was striking to me here was his second half when he's criticizing the ukraine war and he goes the problem with wars is that you get strikes and that they continue to escalate and i'm like you know you should really listen to that analysis and maybe apply it to this iran situation and i think he goes off if i remember correctly a little bit more on the risks of war continuing and i'm like how do you not take that exact statement and now just apply it to this is why we got to walk away from iran
I've also seen Scott Jennings spin it that we control the straights because we have the blockade out there.
But controlling something usually would mean that your desired outcome is something that you can have because you control the situation.
And if our desire is that the straights are actually just open and no one's tolling it and we can't have that, wouldn't that to me indicate that we do not, in fact, control the straights?
We're 90 percent one and we control the straight.
So then I guess they're not much of a threat and the war is over and we can just bring troops home.
I mean, if all that's true, then we're done.
Uh, I'll be less classy than you.
And, uh, I'm not saying that her husband doesn't have cancer, that they're not dealing with a tough time, but, uh, this strikes me like, uh, Hey, Donald Trump, I can't stick around for this anymore.
What's the easiest way for me to leave without creating a problem?
Just say that it's that, and we'll go our own way.
And either there's some cushy job for her.
