Mr. Speaker, that question brings up the whole issue of precedent, that is, questioning the multilateral institutions that ensure that people talk to each other before they take action. Many of these institutions were created in the aftermath of the Second World War to safeguard against the proliferation of armed conflict. It is very risky to play games, calling for an end to such institutions.
I would remind members that, without much more support, President Trump intervened in Iran a few months ago, boasting about the outcome. Nobody took him to task for that. We may not have done enough either, and I speak for myself as well. He felt emboldened to do the same thing again without, as I said, consulting with those who might have served as guardrails.
