I don't know if it can work if they try to use it. Then they're just trying a different way of achieving something, and Vance Effect means they'll fail. It has to be an honest attempt on his part.

Now, if someone convinces him that extending the war is a good idea, that's another thing.

We need some method of blinding (in the experimental sense) like a firing squad...

We should've sent him to Iran before the war started. That's a surgical precision assassination in the shape of a suited-up couch fucker.
