And so that's where I'm like, oh, okay.

Like you need to have some anchor of like, if you had just skipped all of this, like before he drops the first ones on Fordow, if he had said, cool, all right, we're now gonna do like an extended bombing campaign with potential and I'm not ruling out the draft, then I'd have been like, whoa, hold on a second.

So important self reminder.

to really anchor to, okay, what is the principle that I'm operating on?

Was that the principle that I was sold this war on?

And in Trump's case, it is not.

I think the thing right now that you have to anchor around is, did they figure out a system where they were going to build ballistic missiles, go underground, make it impossible to shut them down militarily without boots on the ground, knowing that Israel and the US really don't want to do that?

And then leverage that to secure their nuclear base.

And then over the next, whatever, three to five years, build a robust nuclear program.

They become a nuclear armed Iran.

And now we're all really in trouble.

If that had been the pitch from the beginning, not that we're days away yet again, I might have been able to say, OK, I hate this, but I get where we're going because I certainly don't want.

them to be nuclear armed, but he hasn't made the case of the people he's done classic like dictatorship of just like, yeah, it's what I think.

And so I alone am going to do this.

I'm going to decide who's the president in Venezuela.

I'm going to decide who the Supreme leader is in Iran.

I'm going to decide when the war ends and I get in a populist moment.

People love that shit.

I'm not built for populist moments.

I hate it.
