They're trying to do as much as they can now before they're gonna be faced with an environment in which a lot of these things are gonna be completely unthinkable.

And pushing for this war, I think also Netanyahu thought of it as probably his last chance.

On September 9th was when- But again, we have to also take some responsibility when we have put forward so few consequences- We've created this.

There's no doubt.

I can't even fathom what that would mean.

Yeah, there is, there is.

But I mean, that would be such a suicidal turn of event, turns of event for- Unless you lie about it and classify everything.

I think there absolutely has to be ways to prevent that.

And again, these are not technically difficult measures.

It's just making sure you don't give any country, Israel, Saudi, if the US and Iran has a relationship in the future, I sure as hell hope that it doesn't get structured like this because it's ultimately bad for both sides.

It's not good for Israel to have turned into this type of a, having this type of a security appraised.

Welfare case.

So, you know, we just have to take away some of those things.

And I think Joe Kent has been right on the money of certain type of restrictions that need to be imposed in my view now.

not after they've done something, not even as a threat if they do it, take it away now, make it very clear.

They're not gonna be able to drag the US into another war.

So creating false flags or creating these things is not going to lead to the US reentering the war.

Once that is entirely clear, the incentive to do so is, or at least the incentive to use those methods to do so is going to be significantly diminished.

I frankly don't have any hope with any of the parties right now unless they fundamentally change the leadership.

I think we need to move towards a post-partisan situation.
