Yes, I understand why you’d have concerns. But your camp never seems to update its understanding of the situation after it comes out, for example, that Vance, Tulsi, and Hegseth argued strongly against proposed Iran strikes, and the aftermath of that is Trump saying Hegseth’s job is totally secure while also firing a Netanyahu ally that may have been maneuvering to get him ousted.

I’m sure you can twist yourself into a pretzel explaining why that doesn’t mean anything, but I simply don’t believe the situation is as bleak or total as you imagine it to be.
