- Sure. Well, he started with January, right? Trump 's second term here.And the maximum pressure campaign.
All these negotiations were just a pretext for war. Trump and his entire cabinet must have known that the Ayatollah is not going to give up all the enrichment.That is their latent nuclear deterrent.

happens next in terms of global order, in terms of the Middle East, in terms of all of these things we've talked about, Trump will fail. Um, and and I think that the level of policy incompetenceand unwillingness to take on expertise is ensuring that it will fail. He's quite unpopular on so many issues right
Colombia, Peru, Brazil, this Chile, right? This has been a serious issue. Trump Trump is hugely feeling great, successful, and now he's like, I can do that in Iran. I can do it even bigger.That's the first reason. That's the I said three reasons. That's the first reason. Second reason, this is not
That's the first reason. That's the I said three reasons. That's the first reason. Second reason, this is not Trump 's first rodeo with the Iranians.In his first presidency, the Iranians were engaging in strikes against the
Those drone strikes, you may remember, the Saudis and the Amiradis were telling the Americans, when are you going to do something? we need to take some action. Trump didn't want to do anything.They're getting angry, right? Finally, the end of his presidency, he orders, pretty bold move, the assassination of
