But this has to happen.
You've got to bring this stuff back.
For anybody that is enraged right now, I'm telling you, you're not taking China seriously enough.
This is part of why I don't love the distraction of going into Iran.
I've said this before.
I will say it many times again.
Iran is a play to be on Mount Rushmore.
If he could, I think it's probably too late to do it in a way that will be remembered fondly.
If he was able to have done this in a way where you open the Strait of Hormuz, you get regime change, the regime is pro, it doesn't have to be pro the US, it just needs to be pro markets.
It needs to be economically logical and make things good for their people and really reenter the global economy.
If he had been able to get that,
even if it was Venezuela style, where it's like, yep, it's more or less the same people, just way less dogmatic.
If we'd been able to get that, then I think the Iran thing could have played out well.
But instead, I think it's become a distraction from what we really need to be focused on, which is China.
Now, there's very much an aggressive China play in what's going on in Iran.
So from that perspective, I get it.
But man...
Everybody in the sort of public consciousness is just all caught up in like Iran is the thing in front of us.
And I know if I start headlining things around China, nobody's going to pay attention.
And so that reality of the way the human mind works is very distressing.
