Shortened version of Vance's response to the Iran situation. TLDR he understands people being upset at the prospect of involvement in the Middle East—been there for over 25 years—and he emphasises that nothing which is currently happening was unprecedented or unannounced. That said, Trump has earned enough Trust to try his strategy out; we've seen him work conflict out before, he doesn't aim for war.

I've seen Trump critics imply this is a 'rugpull' or that Trump 'lied' about No New Wars. If you think that, you're really just retarded. Every President in the last 50 years, besides Trump, has started a war. He wouldn't need to pretend at this point, and has been clear he wants a stable, available Middle East. Are you really surprised that there is a little shake up in a notoriously shakey region we've been 'trying' to tame for 60 yrs?
