I didn't read into nuclear threat in the first reading of the tweet.
The nuclear threat came in the analysis of it.
And I was like, oh yeah, that's, I guess that's kind of, you kind of got to be careful if you control nuclear weapons to not say you want to destroy a civilization.
Because people might think you want to use nukes.
I also love that the biggest defense of Trump is like, don't take him at his word.
Right.
That's what his allies say.
Yeah, don't listen to the president when he says the answer.
He's just, it's just, it's just hype.
Right.
And so no bomb, no annihilation.
He backed out and then did the straight open?
Right.
Which is, you know, so, yeah, he couldn't stop the blockade, which he caused.
And so now he's going to say now he's blockading it.
We're going to cock block ourselves.
And, you know, on a tactical, on a very Trumpian level, yeah, it's actually a weird thing where I guess it kind of works culturally.
In the culture war, he can say like, no, no, no, they're not stopping us.
I'm stopping us now.
Right.
