Singleton on the Israel War: Trump Is Smart to Say Let‘s Wait a Couple of Weeks to See If the E3 Can Negotiate a Bit More

‘And then make an ultimate decision from there’

RUSH EXCERPT:
SINGLETON: "I think for a lot. Of the reasons The congressman. Just stated, it‘s a cost. A lot of Americans are asking, can we actually afford this? 36, 37 trillion in debt? Most would say, absolutely not. I think the second argument you would hear from some of the president‘s most ardent supporters, this isn‘t in sync with your message that you campaigned on of America first, meaning you‘re avoiding foreign conflicts. Now, look, I think there is something to be considered from the president‘s perspective in terms of Iran having a nuclear weapon. Do we want to set an arms race in the Middle East? Do we want to run the risk of nuclear proliferation? And you having proxy groups getting their hands on dirty bombs and attempting to explode those weapons in cities and countries in the west? That‘s a very legitimate and valid concern. But I do beg the question. The international atomic energy agency had a report that came out a week or two ago that suggested Iran has indeed progressed in its enrichment of uranium. There‘s still a couple years away from having a full nuclear weapon, or at least a capability to put that on a warhead. And so if that is indeed the case, I think the president is smart to say, wait a minute here, let‘s wait a couple of weeks, at least two. Let‘s try to see if the e3 can negotiate a bit more. Let‘s see if we‘ll consider negotiations with Iran to at least have them pause the program, allow those individuals to go back and see whether they are in terms of progression, and then make an ultimate decision from there."
