JD Vance and Marco Rubio are hedging their positions on the Iran war to protect their 2028 presidential ambitions.
I think, look, JD Vance and Marco Rubio, they want to run for president in 28. So they know that their butt is on the line here. If this Iran war doesn't go well, there go their presidential ambitions. And so I think that when Rubio comes out and says, well, Israel made us do it, obviously, this is like a real-time narrative construction so that when in 28, he's questioned about it on the debate stage, if this becomes a debacle, this is hedging. He can say, well, we didn't have any options. We had the choice.
