The Iran War is a Gift to China | Miles Taylor on Trump's Avoidable Strategic Blunder

0:00 And the other thing, Miles,

0:01 is and you know this from your national security guys, this is a gift to China.

0:05 It it it it absolutely emboldens China and other

0:09 other bad actors on the on the world stage.

0:12 It it it's a complete gift because they are becoming the sensible party,

0:17 the party that seems like they're not running into wars,

0:20 the party that seems like they will balance the economy,

0:23 the party that is a or the country rather that is

0:26 a safe haven economically compared to the instability in the United States,

0:31 a country whose extractive industries are not nearly as tumultuous

0:36 as what US leaders have gotten American companies into.

0:40 More than a gift to China,

0:41 this is a dream scenario for America's adversaries right now.

0:46 I'll say it again, a dream scenario is taking place right now.

0:50 If I was going to war game this and model this for the Russians or the Chinese,

0:54 I would have said in year two of the Trump administration,

0:57 he should get the United States mired in a war

1:00 with Iran that he can't get out of.

1:02 Dream scenario for Moscow and Beijing.

1:04 And when you have people like Tucker Carlson coming out and saying, "Oh,

1:08 I apologize for getting everybody to back

1:10 Donald Trump." When you have Ann Coulter, when you have Megan Kelly,

1:15 when you have all the the the knights of the MAGA

1:17 round table all saying that they regret getting behind Donald Trump,

1:21 that ain't good either.

1:23 And so that to me is like that's the canary in the coal mine.

1:26 That that means that the the base is fracturing.

1:28 May not show up in a lot of the polls, but it's a leading indicator.
