No, I just tried.

Maybe I wasn't clear.

I was just saying, OK, we saw how it all worked in World War II of people blockading or not blockading or doing peripheral operations or not.

So if you occupy Russia's position or China's position, it's not about who's going to win or who's going to lose.

It's going, well, both of them are much more vulnerable to blockade, period.

More concepts.

So I did limited, unlimited objectives, and I did value of the object, how much winning is worth to you.

Another one is, what is win?

So if you're talking about the United States invading China, insane.

Who would ever do that, right?

If you're thinking of whatever conflict you're imagining,

if you're thinking about, I don't know, is when China, I mean, tell me what this war is.

Who's going for what and what's when going to look like?

And then we can talk about what feasible is.

If you look at Taiwan, okay, maybe China can take it.

It may have to leave it a glowing embers.

That lovely chip foundry that everyone cares about, I imagine, would be the first casualty of that war.

That will be blown and be gone.

There's no way you'll capture that intact.

And then everybody else is going to be terrified of this.
