Whenever American presidents send troop to the Middle East, the first thing you want to do is take a deep breath, everybody stand back and see if we can resolve this peacefully. We don't want to get into a war with Iran. It would have all sorts of terrible repercussions, not only destabilizing the Middle East, but our economy here at home.
Gergen emphasizes the importance of resolving tensions peacefully and the potential repercussions of military action in the Middle East.

Sadly, you know, I think for a variety of reasons he should not. I just, I don't think either Trump or Biden should be running.
Maintaining the status quo with regard to the filibuster is unacceptable for him.
I think, basically, this is about power. I think he wants to cripple Joe Biden before he ever gets started.
I think this the very idea that in 2024, we may have two men running against each other Biden and Trump, who would both be in their 80s if elected, that it too is enough to say, well, what are we doing here?
