US military operations against Iran are being conducted in accordance with standard practice and are not war crimes.

“So, I'm just going to point out at this point it is not automatically a war crime to bomb bridges and energy infrastructure. Of course, it isn't. It's happened in pretty much every war.”

The rescue of the American airman in Iran is a testament to the fact that the United States possesses the greatest military force in world history.

“We have the greatest military force ever in the history of the world. That's beyond dispute. Even our enemies would admit it.”

President Trump's military strategy against Iran is justified to stop a regime that poses a global threat.

“We have the capability to remove them from the planet. Make no mistake. And this is the reason why we don't want them to have the ability to take somebody else off the planet.”

Iranian leadership has a strong incentive to uphold the ceasefire because they recognize that violating it will result in the resumption of U.S. combat operations.

“But their motivation to want to stay in the cease fire is very high because they understand that a violation of that cease fire means a commencement once again of Admiral Cooper's forces, which went very poorly for them.”

The U.S. Joint Force maintains the capability to resume major combat operations against Iran at any moment during the current ceasefire.

“I'd like to emphasize during this pause that the United States Joint Force remains postured and ready to resume major combat operations at literally a moment's notice.”

The recent US military strike on Iran is an extraordinary, aggressive, and unnecessary act of war carried out unilaterally by the president.

“I mean, this is one of the most extraordinary and aggressive independent unilateral actions launched by a president of the United States ever.”

The United States should not be engaged in a protracted military conflict in Iran.

“So, on the off chance that you thought maybe, just maybe, Trump would be smart enough to realize the error of his ways by engaging in exactly the kind of war that he swore he'd avoid when polling showed this war was the least popular at its outset in US history. You can just kiss that goodbye”

Bombing a hospital is impermissible even if a Hamas headquarters is located beneath it.

“I don't give a [ __ ] if the Hamas headquarters are underneath the hospital okay you under no circumstances can blow up the hospital okay you can't do that anyway”

The host maintains that suspected criminals should undergo due process rather than facing summary execution.

“Yeah. That's what I was saying yesterday. Like it just seems weird to do like not arrest them, not put them in front of a judge. Like you just kill them?”

The host expresses skepticism about whether suspected drug smuggling warrants an immediate lethal response.

“So, what are they trying to prove with these videos? Because I mean I still don't think that is a fence you should be killed over, right?”

The United States currently faces a serious munitions crisis while Iran maintains a significant capacity for drone and missile production.

“Currently, the United States can produce about six to seven interceptors and at that same time, Iran can produce several hundred of its drones and missiles.”

The US is currently rationing its defense weaponry due to significantly depleted stockpiles of critical munitions.

“We are already rationing rationing this munition supply because we do not have enough to protect everywhere.”

The US naval blockade of the Strait of Hormuz has been a complete strategic failure.

“I think that it was just becoming an epic failure and the clock was ticking toward this China visit and Trump was under a lot of pressure from China in particular to make a deal and stop this.”

The current administration likely miscalculated in failing to anticipate that Iran would take the Strait of Hormuz hostage.

“I'm going to go on the record and say this. I think this administration made a a miscalculation, I'll call it. In that because like you said, the Strait of Hormuz has been one of the key blockades for almost every time something goes wrong in the Middle East.”
