Trump tweets that a "civilized civilization will die tonight, never to be brought back again." What does this mean and what does it mean for the future of the Middle East and the world? How can we interpret this tweet?
00:01:01.940I think that Trump is trying to go for maximum leverage in negotiation.
00:01:07.440But the reality is that the Iranians will not back down.

00:01:12.760And American forces already assembled in the Middle East.
00:01:16.860So I think that we will see a ground invasion as early as this weekend.
00:01:22.280And it will be a multi-vector ground invasion, meaning that right now the Americans are attacking Karg Island, which is where Iran will export 9% of its oil from.
00:01:32.940And so the Americans intend on seizing Karg Island and strangling the Iranian economy.

00:01:38.600There will probably be an attack on Qasem Island as well in order to wrestle control of the street of Hormuz.
00:01:45.600There will also be an attack on the Iranian coastline in order to scout out your defenses.
00:01:52.280So I think that we are approaching a major escalation over the next few days.
00:01:56.880So try to decode this because the average person who reads this, they say, who talks like that?
00:02:05.100You know, what do you mean a whole civilization will die tonight?
00:03:30.820The other issue that's very worrying right now is that Trump has surrounded himself with advisors who are psychopaths.
00:03:38.460And they're not actually relaying to him good strategic advice.
00:03:42.900So, for example, what just happened this weekend was that Trump announced the rescue of a downed American pilot.
00:03:52.980And if you watch the press conference yesterday, he fought a tremendous success and was very proud of the military for doing the impossible, going deep into enemy lines and rescuing a wounded pilot.
00:04:04.980And this is a great tribute to the professionalism and self-sacrifice of the American military, especially the special forces.
00:04:14.980But on Twitter, on Axe, on social media, what they're saying is that this was actually not necessarily a successful pilot rescue operation.
00:04:27.260It seems that evidence is emerging that this was a failed seizure, a failed attempt to seize uranium, enriched uranium in the Asafan power plant.
00:04:40.360And if that is the case, then that was an extremely risky mission, and it's very consequential because America lost about $300 million worth of planes and equipment in this failed raid.
00:04:57.300So my concern is that Trump has surrounded himself with advisers who feed his ego.
00:05:04.520And Trump himself believes that just by flexing, just by taking a very tough negotiating position, he can bully the Iranians into a compromise.
00:05:15.540So I think that we are in a very precarious situation right now.
00:05:20.120What do you think, though? Worst case that could happen, the best case?
00:05:24.620Walk me through. And by the way, just out of curiosity.
00:05:27.300Would you consider yourself a – like, if we're in July of 2024, would you say you were a supporter of Trump, like you wanted to see him win?
00:05:38.020So I'm pretty politically neutral, but in July 2024, I was very confident Trump would win, and I felt that America needed a change.
00:05:48.800So if I were American and I had the opportunity to vote in November of 2024, I would have voted for Trump over Biden.
00:05:55.140Got it. That's very important. That's very important for the audience to know that, because I don't think you've you've revealed that because your criticism is just what you think is going to happen.
00:06:04.300But you still would have chosen a Trump over a Biden or a Kamala.
00:06:08.260You know, this whole thing with vitamin and PPD podcast started with a phone, me and Mario.
