Cause I think as a collective, we are a bit, you know, this is like a gay word to use, but we're a bit traumatized from 2020.

Like that was actually such an egregious, embarrassing moment as a country that we just are paranoid of seeing that ever happen again, me included.

So we just want to see the Marines go in just to send a message, just to get a bit of sort of vindication in a lot of ways.

But then that's where the debate is.

Okay.

Well, yeah, you're describing a very real political mechanism, which is every president, every politician has a limited amount of political capital that they can spend.

And that's what you need to look at.

You need to look at Trump's victories, bank you political power that you can then spend in other places.

Potentially, like we did in the last time, potentially on issues that are unpopular.

And there are some issues that Trump loyalists want to push across the finish line that are unpopular with the majority of Americans.

So that's where you spend that political capital.

So the question is, if we're really expending political capital on Iran-

You still need some leftover to then quash these sorts of things in Minneapolis and these sorts of things.

I've always made this point in regards with European cities.

Okay, as right-wingers, as conservatives, we inherently believe in hierarchy.

We inherently believe in order.

We believe these things are ordained by God.

But when, like in Europe, for example, where there's zero sense of like an underworld whatsoever, these cities actually just turn into museums and it like completely eviscerates any sort of life that's in these cities.

So I actually, I'll steal Man Ian's argument here because if you look at like Prague or Budapest, like these cities for young people are actually quite miserable.

These are very old cities.
