And, you know, when they when you see the Saudis and Bahrainis and Emiratis complaining that I can't believe you pulled your anti-aircraft missiles out of here to move them to Israel.

Well.

That's Americans on those bases who got their air cover pulled out of there to go to Israel instead.

It wasn't just the Bahrainis and the Emiratis.

It was our guys at those bases.

And they've also, and we don't know the extent of it because there's massive censorship in Israel.

They'll, you know, what they do, they'll let reporters show damage to civilian infrastructure or targets or collateral damage or whatever, but they won't show damage to military infrastructure.

infrastructure which of course skews the picture makes it look like only innocent civilians are being killed and all that but supposedly the attacks on israel are worse this time than they were in june i don't know the full extent of that but and then i'm sorry because i'm rambling a bit but the point the real point being i should make here to wrap up is that

They really should not have done this.

They did not have a coherent plan to do this.

Donald Trump ignored every bit of this advice that was given to George W. Bush back then and that George W. Bush went along with.

You know, Netanyahu tried to bully Obama into this too.

Obama, for the same reasons, says, man, this is biting off more than we can chew, more than we know what to do with.

and you can tell that at some point here despite getting advice to the contrary we know that they had even a national intelligence estimate people say where the hell's tulsi gabbard on this dude apparently they the i don't know actually her role in it but the national intelligence council

put out a secret report saying, this isn't gonna work, you shouldn't do it.

The chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff leaked all over the place, including the Wall Street Journal, that we're gonna run out of anti-missile missiles before they run out of missiles.

And this is a real problem and we shouldn't do it.

They did that before the war.

And you can tell at some point Trump just said,

Fuck it.
