But I think on any reasonable measure, I think the right way to say is degraded.

And there's no circumstance where you would go and hit a place like that and you just say, OK, it's done.

We can just sort of dust off and walk away.

You would have to have monitoring.

Uh, of a number of different things.

There's sort of the, the chemical fallout that you'd have to watch out for who's coming back after a place has been hit.

Uh, you know, it's sort of like when you, you stomp on an anthill is, is it really obliterated or done or did they go somewhere else that are they coming back to dig back out?

And there's going to, so I've thought through this entire operation, whether it's a nuclear program, the missiles, or just all together, there's major operations and those have been really, really effective and most of the world has nothing they can do about them.

And then there's the need for maintenance, which I would just call constant gardening after the fact.

And that doesn't have to be overwhelmingly the U.S.

and U.S.

personnel.

That should be coalitions and maybe other institutions that take up the lead on some of these things.

But there's no circumstance where I think you can just sort of declare, yep, we hit it with the mother of all bombs or whatever it was that we used.

And so problem solved.

Yeah, I'll say what I hope and what I think, but yeah, there's still some shoes that could drop that we just don't see at the moment.

But I'd like to believe that in two months' time, basically, the economic pressure has compelled-

whatever is remaining of the IRGC to start to fragment because ultimately, they're a corrupt mafia that needs to have filthy lucre to keep people's loyalty and even evil people want to eat food and be able to go home to do different things in their lives.

And if this pressure and denial of a huge part of their GDP

It has has done what it should do.
