From what I have seen just we I think that Trump in my experience and what I think is that he was

kind of looking for an excuse to do it anyways because why do you think I think there's always been

a danger of Iran getting too powerful and we have they are there constantly they're always been a danger of Iran getting too powerful.

And we have, they are constantly.

They're always in a process of like, hey, between their codes force and their proxies getting stronger,

their nuclear program getting stronger, their Navy's been getting stronger,

their ballistic missile program, their drone programs have been getting much, much stronger.

And it was going to get to a point of, at what point do they become hard to contain at that point?

So I think that this was, could have been excused.

I don't know for sure, but to basically, let's set them back a few years while we still try to deal with this.

Yeah, I guess the, you know, the tough part I think about international politics and military

operations is that, you know, there's what's strategically the most advantageous.

And then there's from a garnering support amongst allies and kind of the public opinion of the rest of the world,

which we're seeing right now, the lack of that of not being able to use military bases to launch from or, you know, getting any type of assistance for trying to regulate or have any authority in the straits,

is that, you know, what's the most politically effective may and oftentimes is not the most strategically effective,

like those two things can be at odds, this being a classic example. Having said that,

I think to preemptively strike without at least one retaliatory strike not that you want to leave people as bait or as a sitting duck

but i mean to to me that that is kind of the crux of legitimizing what we're doing is saying like they attacked us you know like

even if you say israel you're on your own if you're going to do it do it the instant they start

to retaliate retaliate then you know but there it's like almost a legal issue which i hate that that's

even a thing you know in fighting, but there is an element

of that, that I think that does delegitimize what we're doing by not having something
