Even though he was literally interviewed by a member of the Trump family, it was like, Laura Trump, he still managed to sound like a fucking bumbling idiot.
And when he said, they're a week away from industrial-grade bomb-making material, which no expert would agree with, and as you mentioned, completely contradicts Trump's claims that Iran's nuclear infrastructure was totally obliterated.
But again, we get back to this question of like,
What kind of deal does Trump want?
Is it a nuclear deal that he can just sell as being better than JCPOA?
Is it what you said earlier, the Israeli position, that it has to include nukes, ballistic missiles, support for terror groups?
Or is it just full regime change?
It's crazy that we don't even know what he wants.
Yeah, and just by the way, last thing on this, I mean, I saw in the Financial Times, they reported that Iran has signed a secret 500 million euro arms deal with Russia to inquire a bunch of shoulder-fired missiles to supplement their air defense.
They also reported, Reuters reported that Iran is close to closing deals with China to buy supersonic anti-ship missiles.
It's just interesting you don't hear a lot of criticism in public from Donald Trump about those deals.
Also, lastly, Ben, it's just...
It's just worth noting that as we're recording, it's the fourth anniversary of the full-scale Russian invasion of Ukraine.
Trump promised to end that war in 24 hours.
Instead, it's gotten so much worse for the Ukrainian people.
And meanwhile, now we're entirely focused on a regime change in another place, in Iran, right after the Venezuela one.
So it just speaks to the total incoherence of the policy and the lack of focus and just the lies based on what he ran on, which MAGA was supposed to be, isolationists against regime change wars.
No, it's baffling.
Politically baffling.
