So there's not currently a war going on.
There's naval blockade going on.
but let's just win this first and let's let the military be supported and then we'll figure out maybe how we could have gone about this better.
But for me, it's just wild to attack President Trump and say like he's, the exact example was he was saying we're gonna end a civilization.
But when I start to 4D chess this out, I'm thinking through and I'm almost like, oh, actually what's happening here is Trump's actually talking to the IRGC, which is, that's like the inner group around the Iranian leadership that's killed somewhere between 15 to 45,000 of their own people.
Both numbers are bad, right?
And so I was like, oh, he's not talking about ending the civilization of the Iranian peaceful people.
And at the end of the Truth Social post, it said,
God bless the people of Iran.
And I kind of brought that up and people, no one wanted to acknowledge that there was maybe this misinterpretation of I'm going to end a civilization, which could be misinterpreted as like, he's going to end all of Iran's civilization.
And then if you continue to read it, you realize, oh, he's probably talking about the IRGC, which that's like the core hardliners that are slaughtering their own people.
And he doesn't have a direct line to them.
They're actually probably reading his truth posts.
So this is 4D chess.
So how did they negotiate that?
Yeah, I think it was leverage.
So it was the U.S.
military showing how strong they were and that insane amount of pressure that Trump's putting on them and calling them out directly saying he's going to end them.
Yeah, I mean, and at some point, there's some people that the only thing that works is force, right?
Or the threat of force.
