John Bolton

Mielestäni on hieman vaikeaa uskoa, että Iranin ratkaisuja on niin kovin läheisiä, että ne saattavat loppua. Kuten hän sanoi, hän oli todella miettinyt asian markkinoista, ja se oli hyödyllistä vahvistaa amerikkalaiset ratkaisut myös. Se voi vaikuttaa häneltä vahvistamiseen, jossa vahvistus ei ole. Meidän teemme on näyttää meidän vahvistamme,

Jon Bolton. So what is actually happening in terms of negotiations, if anything? I asked David Willis in the United States.

Glad to be with you.

Thanks for having me.

Well, I think to start with the second half of the question first, if I might, you know, from a military point of view, it's generally going quite well.

But I think there's a real trouble built in on the political side of this operation.

And it is if regime change is Trump's objective.

And that's not entirely clear.

He has said it is, but he's also said other things.

I think that there was inadequate preparation of the American people for launching the attack.

I think there's a compelling case that you could make for regime change due to the threat of Iran's nuclear weapons program and its support for its conduct of terrorism over many, many years.

But Trump didn't make that case.

He didn't speak to the people beforehand.

And I'm not just talking about one speech.

He didn't.

Lay out the case over a period of time.

And in doing this, you don't have to say anything about specifics of the military operation or timing or anything else.

You just make the argument why it's necessary.

He didn't do that.

And I think that's a problem.
