I warned you all about the communists for months. They've infiltrated all our institutions and created a breakaway network of NGOs that launder your tax dollars to finance the revolution, rig elections, and destroy the pillars of functional society.
Are you listening now?
@RevivalTattoos is this you?? Not very American of you! You have a business because of the military who fought for your freedoms to do so! It would be a shame if your business tanked because of your stance on this! Oh well! You are famous now!
Patrick Bet-David: The biggest winner of the Iran war is whoever runs for president in 2028
While everyone is arguing over whether the war was a success or a disaster, Patrick says the real story is that the conflict exposed everyone's hand.
Who stood with America, who backed Israel, who backed Iran, and who folded under pressure.
In Patrick's words, the Iran war was like running a credit check on the entire world.
Everybody's real incentives were suddenly out in the open.
Then he said something that made Trump's decision make a lot more sense.
Patrick doesn't believe Trump went to war because he suddenly became a neocon.
He believes Trump thought he was taking the biggest gamble of his presidency, a moonshot.
He thought the regime would collapse, and he could pull off the equivalent of Reagan staring down the Soviet Union, and walk away as the president who fundamentally reshaped the Middle East.
Instead, the regime stayed in power, and the U.S found itself negotiating with the same government it had just bombed.
Patrick isn't saying the gamble worked, he's saying Trump took it because the upside was potentially historic.
Then, almost casually, Patrick dropped something I wasn't expecting.
He revealed that senior figures connected to Iranian politics, business and the military repeatedly approached him about helping lead a post-regime Iran because of his years living there and his deep understanding of both Iran and America.
He turned them down.
Not because he doubted he could do it, but because he wasn't willing to uproot his family and build a future that way.
Whether you agree with Patrick or not, I think he nailed one thing.
This war didn't just reshape the Middle East.
It exposed the real priorities, loyalties, and ambitions of almost everyone who mattered.
And we're still only beginning to understand what that means.
