Well, howdy there, Internet people it spell again.

So today, we're going to talk about Trump claiming no experts predicted what every expert predicted.

As Trump struggles with the consequences of his decision and begs other countries to commit military

resources to resolve the situation he created. He has started a frankly bizarre new line of talking

points, that nobody could have known that Iran would respond against neighboring countries

that allowed a U.S. presence.

This statement from Trump really only has a couple of possible explanations.

First, let's go over exactly what he said.

Quote, they have all of those missiles, and I heard they were sending missiles to UAE.

I said that's strange. You know, UAE is like the banker for Iran. They're like the banker.

Qatar, their neighbors. They got along okay. Uh, Saudi Arabia. All of a sudden, Kuwait. Kuwait is getting hit. Bahrain is getting, all these countries are getting hit. There was no expert that would say that was going to happen. It's not a question of like, gee, should you have known? And if we did know, big deal. I mean, we have to do what we have to do.

There was no expert that would say that was going to happen. Or maybe lots of experts said that was going to happen, repeatedly.

The problem is, he doesn't have any actual experts in the

room. This is a clip from February 19th. The country is promising retaliation for any attack.

Trump has pulled a number of U.S. officials from the region.

He has also pulled what looks like all U.S. troops from Syria.

This is reducing Iran's targets for retaliation.

Okay, so in that clip, nine days before the war, we're already seeing assets move to get them out of the way for

Iran's counterattack. But maybe the experts really didn't know, or they weren't thinking about

missiles. Okay, so this is a clip from February 11th. In multiple locations, at U.S. installations across the mid-east,

Patriot and Thad missile systems were deployed. Most people are familiar with the Patriot,

but real quick, it's a defensive missile system that takes down missiles, drones, etc. and protects high-value targets.
