eace and now he's been removed. And don't be surprised if the Supreme Leader of Iran is not so sad that his greatest domestic rival is gone. So this might turn out positively. But I don't want to get too optimistic about this because there's a high likelihood there'll be more danger before things improve.

All right, yeah, why was he in Baghdad? I think everybody believes he was in Baghdad to cause trouble. So I would also suggest that the president's timing on this — because there's gonna be a lot of questions about you know why now, etc. — well I think that why now is that we had a good shot. So that's the first part of why now. So you can't kill somebody until you have an opportunity to kill them and they obviously had an opportunity. Secondly it's sort of a perfect time to do it because of the embassy thing, etc. And domestically it's kind of perfect too. Now I hate to even say that because it's so icky, but you know the Democrats are gonna say that Trump is only doing this because of the impeachment. I don't think he's only doing this because of impeachment but it's really good timing. So I don't think that the impeachment talked him out of it. It may have talked him into it.

Yeah. So in my book "Loserthink" I have a section which I talk about anybody who says why didn't you do it sooner is an unproductive participant because everything could be done sooner and nobody really can answer that well. Sometimes there's something specific but most of the time there was something you could have done to do it sooner. So that's the people who are bad at analyzing always say that. Well why didn't you do it sooner? That's the lowest level of commentary.

Iran may be related to Strzok-Page. So people think that Iran might have some relationship to our domestic situation. I don't know. Probably not.

Somebody says we've killed every dictator we made a deal with in the past. Well yeah.

So some of you were asking about how this will affect North Korea. Kim definitely has something to worry about. But I also think that North Korea is a completely different situation because they're not actively killing Americans. If North Korea doesn't kill Americans we're not going to kill him. I just don't think there's any chance. I mean you could argue that Warmbier was an American who got killed but my take on that is that had to do with the local jailers. I mean I doubt Kim Jong-un ordered him to be killed or beaten to death. I just it just seems unlikely. Not impossible but unlikely.

Do I have a long-term prediction on North Korea? Yes. I bel
