Analysis of Military Tensions and Strategies

To make Trump pay more dearly,

what cost are we ourselves willing to pay now? Is it

worth teaching this lesson much more forcefully

by, for example, letting that threat against our infrastructure

be carried out? There is no doubt that we can, in return, strike their infrastructure.

But

is it worth having our own infrastructure destroyed in the process? Is

it worth once again losing, um,

another group of important political leaders and elites

of our own? Is it worth

for example,

having the economic problems, which in my opinion have now reached

a terrible state, get even worse?

The door has been opened to a physical naval blockade of Iran.

Once it has been opened, you saw that it imposed a blockade, then an agreement was reached, then it came back

and imposed a blockade again. Its fleet is scattered all over the world.

I mean, the whole difficulty is that, sir, it takes three weeks to get from one place to another,

or to be replaced. At most, say it takes a month and a half.

So what should I do to make him say I should not use this tool?

So what should I do to make him say I should not use this tool?

They say, "Sir, we needed to prove our capabilities."

They say we already have that, or rather, that we had it beforehand.

We had it. If proving our capabilities was enough, and we had already done so,

then

he should not have attacked. The fact that he attacked meant that, at least then,

it had not been proven

to him, it was only on paper. Anyway, let's move past that.

We say, even if it had not been proven to him before the war, it has been proven now.

Come on, seven months have passed. They saw that we can close things down, we can strike, we can respond

with at least equal force. They understand that now, that's enough.

What I'm saying is, once he understood that, did he lift our blockade? Once he understood that, did he say,

"I won't impose sanctions"? Once he understood that, did he stop threatening

war again? No.

More importantly than all this, he fought for forty days.

After forty days, there was also a period of blockade and things, then he signed the agreement

He did, he implemented the agreement.

Uh, if we escalate tensions again now,

there is no doubt we could inflict very serious damage on

America. But

is the damage we ourselves suffer necessarily

less?

What do you mean by damage? What does escalation mean? What do you mean by the damage we suffer? Can you give a specific example?

Look, what I think is that we

might carry out an operation in which, say, a hundred American soldiers

are killed.

By the logic of war,

send back bodies. Why shouldn't we send back bodies? Send back bodies so that

Americans see bodies. See far more than they have seen so far, and

take to the streets and weaken the pressure.

Believe me, I do not cry every night for American soldiers.

I do not care if they are killed. So—

We pray every night for them to be killed.
