On the other hand, I think that President Trump views this as the last best opportunity to reach some sort of arrangement before he has to commit to Mr Netanyahu’s war with Iran. Now that may still happen, and I think the president has made that clear. I think he’s put himself in a very difficult position. He doesn’t have much maneuver room. Even though privately he’s clearly walked back all of the extreme measures that were outlined in what was effectively an ultimatum to the Iranians. And I think this is a point of serious concern for Mr Netanyahu, because clearly, if all we’re going to demand is that they remain at the 60 percent uranium enrichment threshold, and otherwise we’re largely jettisoning the remaining demands that were made, that certainly does not serve Mr Netanyahu’s long-term purpose.

Remember Mr Netanyahu made it very clear he wants the Libyan solution for Iran, and I would argue that that’s Mr Zelensky’s solution for Russia. So Mr Trump is now dealing with recalcitrant, supposed allies with whom we have no official treaty whatsoever in either case. But nevertheless, we regard Zelensky and Netanyahu as allies. Here’s what you said earlier with our friend Colonel Davis about the military strength of Iran, Chris cut number 15. What nation on the planet can have their embassy destroyed in another country and to have an assassination in their capital city on an inauguration and not go to war with somebody, yet that’s exactly what Iran didn’t do, because they don’t have the power to do it.

So that should tell you. Wait a minute, wait a minute. That’s a fundamentally false statement. Which part? False, false, false, false. They don’t have the power to go to war. You have to look carefully at Iran. Iran’s arsenal of missiles is enormous. It could flatten Israel in a day. They have the power to go to war. They have chosen repeatedly to avoid war. And I’ve said this a thousand times. No one in the Middle East is interested in a war except Israel and the United States. It’s the Trump foreign policy establishment, Vance, Hegseth, Rubio, Gorka, Waltz.

Do they understand that? What is the foreign policy of the United States? I think the foreign policy of the United States is two-dimensional. On the one hand, it’s whatever President Trump says on any given day. And on the other hand, it’s the permanent neocon bureaucracy of which his administration is a part. So I think you’ve got two dimensions there. He is very impulsive. I see no strategy, no coherent approach of any kind to anything, whether that involves widespread deportation of illegal aliens, the systematics, cheering of the border, the ending the war in Ukraine as quickly as possible or anything else.

Where is the strategy? What is the approach? What’s the framework? I don’t see anything. So we’re back to, well, it’s whatever President Trump said today or yesterday, and I’m sure he’s quite satisfied with that. And on the other hand, all of these other people you mentioned, somebody said recently, if you hire clowns, then you get a circus. [tr:trw].
