1 小时 46 分钟So whenever something big happens, particularly something really big like a war that will change world history,
the first four questions you have to ask are these.
One, why did this happen?
Two, what was the point of it?
Three, where does it go from here?
And four, how do we respond?
So let's assess the war in Iran now ongoing in its second day.
And try to answer those four questions.
First, why did this happen?
Now, in this case, there's a really simple answer.
This happened because Israel wanted it to happen.
This is Israel's war.
This is not the United States' war.
This war is not being waged on behalf of American national security objectives to make the United States safer or richer.
This war is not actually even about weapons of mass destruction, nukes, chem bio.
No, this war is waged.
Purely because Israel wanted it to be waged.
Now, why say that out loud this early in the conflict?
Isn't that dispiriting for, say, American troops fighting this war?
Yes, it is.
