  Speaker 1: God, my co host, my friend calls Zars in the building.
• 0:06
  Speaker 2: How's it going today?
• 0:07
  Speaker 3: Call Hiray. How are you good to see you.
• 0:11
  Speaker 1: I'm doing pretty good. And I see your son in
• 0:13
  Speaker 1: the background. I got to give him a salut.
• 0:19
  Speaker 3: I let him stay. He promised don't make any noises.
• 0:22
  Speaker 3: So you know, wife's still sleep. My wife's still sleeping.
• 0:26
  Speaker 3: So I'm like double duty.
• 0:30
  Speaker 1: I got you call, I got mine, my son. Well,
• 0:32
  Speaker 1: my daughter is right here. She's in and out of
• 0:35
  Speaker 1: the door. So if you hear the door creaking or whatever,
• 0:37
  Speaker 1: she's in and out because my wife works overnight. She's
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: she's a nurse, so she works overnight. So my daughter
• 0:45
  Speaker 1: is in and out. So anyway, everybody, thanks for joining us.
• 0:49
  Speaker 1: Shout out Blue Pillo Diary. Shout out to Flying Crocodiles.
• 0:52
  Speaker 2: Forty six thirty. Now call before we go.
• 0:56
  Speaker 1: First, I want to establish something, as I was telling
• 0:58
  Speaker 1: the people, but I want established some facts so that
• 1:01
  Speaker 1: we can see whether America's actions that she's carrying out
• 1:05
  Speaker 1: are legal or illegal.
• 1:07
  Speaker 2: So first, before the show started, I just put in
• 1:09
  Speaker 2: these words right here.
• 1:12
  Speaker 1: Is it illegal under international law to attack or threaten
• 1:17
  Speaker 1: threaten to attack a nation?
• 1:19
  Speaker 2: And according to the AI overview.
• 1:22
  Speaker 1: It says, yes, it is generally illegal under international law
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: to attack or threaten to attack a nation that poses
• 1:32
  Speaker 1: no threat, and this is under the United Nations.
• 1:35
  Speaker 2: Charter Article two four.
• 1:39
  Speaker 1: It prohibits the threat or use of force against the
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: territorial integrity or political independence of any state. Unauthorized attack
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: is considered a crime of aggression. Okay, So we have
• 1:53
  Speaker 1: that point, and Article two four says this under the
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: UN Charter, it prohibits u WIN member states, which the
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: United States and Israel are members of the United Nations
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: and the UN Charter, from using or threatening force against
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: the territorial integrity or political independence of any state. It
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: is a cornerstone of international law that bans war or coersion,
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: requiring disputes to be settled peacefully, with exceptions only for
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: self defense or security Council authorization.
• 2:30
  Speaker 2: So now that we have an understanding of that call.
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: Doesn't this show us the illegality of all of the
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: moves that the United States and Israel has made and
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: are making and are professing to be getting ready to
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: make against Iran and other nations.
• 2:51
  Speaker 3: Rashid, When has the United States or Israel ever ever
• 2:56
  Speaker 3: follow the international law you know this. This is by
• 3:01
  Speaker 3: the way, even according to the US own constitution, only
• 3:06
  Speaker 3: Congress has authorization for war. Or the last time the
• 3:10
  Speaker 3: Congress issue a declaration of war, you know, as far
• 3:15
  Speaker 3: as I remember, I do not remember any time the
• 3:19
  Speaker 3: US Congress has wells as long as that been alive,
• 3:23
  Speaker 3: I don't remember any time the US Congress have issued
• 3:26
  Speaker 3: a declaration of war. But US was in Vietnam, US
• 3:29
  Speaker 3: was in Afghanistan, Iraq, and now you wrong again. I mean,
• 3:34
  Speaker 3: this is illegal under the US Constitution. But you know
• 3:39
  Speaker 3: who cares about constitution, right? We have the Epstein regime
• 3:42
  Speaker 3: to protect here that that's the most important thing. And
• 3:47
  Speaker 3: let's remember this is essentially a Pearl Harbor style attack.
• 3:53
  Speaker 3: United States was engaged in negotiation with Iran over Iran's
• 3:58
  Speaker 3: nuclear armament. And now according to the various diplomatically exposed
• 4:03
  Speaker 3: from the Ministry for a Ministry of Oman and foreign
• 4:09
  Speaker 3: diplomats involve, they all confirmed that Uran basically accepted all
• 4:14
  Speaker 3: the terms issued by the Trump administration. They even proposed
• 4:18
  Speaker 3: that RANG will give up its nuclear material, you know,
• 4:25
  Speaker 3: to allow u US to come in and take all
• 4:28
  Speaker 3: the nuclear material away from Uran to guarantee that Urrang
• 4:32
  Speaker 3: will not have a nuclear weapon program. Right after that agreement,
• 4:37
  Speaker 3: US bombed Iran took out a senior leader. I mean,
• 4:41
  Speaker 3: this is a Pearl Harbor style sneak attack during negotiations.
• 4:46
  Speaker 3: This is exactly what Japanese did on December seventh, nineteen
• 4:50
  Speaker 3: forty one. And for you wrong, this is ninety eleven
• 4:54
  Speaker 3: and Pearl Harbor all rolled into one. You know what
• 4:58
  Speaker 3: what nine eleven happened the United States win insane when
• 5:01
  Speaker 3: on a rampage all throughout West Asia, and what they're
• 5:07
  Speaker 3: doing to Capitol Juran tah Ran right now is ten
• 5:10
  Speaker 3: times worse than nine eleven. They're bombing schools, killing hundreds
• 5:15
  Speaker 3: of school children's schoolgirls. So yeah, I mean, there's nothing
• 5:20
  Speaker 3: under international law that can justify it, and Trump fully
• 5:24
  Speaker 3: knows it, but you know they don't care because there
• 5:27
  Speaker 3: must be some very damning evidence against him in the
• 5:31
  Speaker 3: Epstein file yet to be released. Because you have to remember,
• 5:36
  Speaker 3: Israel has been pressured in the United States to go
• 5:39
  Speaker 3: into war against run forever. You know. I remember like
• 5:42
  Speaker 3: when General Wesley Clark, I think was back in nineteen
• 5:45
  Speaker 3: ninety seven, he said he reviewing an interview that even
• 5:50
  Speaker 3: back in the nineteen nineties, and there was a plan
• 5:54
  Speaker 3: in the Pentagon to go after seven countries, and in
• 5:58
  Speaker 3: Ran was a last country that was left standing on
• 6:02
  Speaker 3: this list. And and for the past seven US presidents,
• 6:07
  Speaker 3: they have resisted the Israeli pressure to go to war
• 6:10
  Speaker 3: against Iran because they knew it will be a complete disaster,
• 6:15
  Speaker 3: you know, like because you're wrong. They do control over,
• 6:18
  Speaker 3: control over the straight hor Moose, the lifeline of the
• 6:23
  Speaker 3: world's energy supply. And so they all knew what the
• 6:26
  Speaker 3: risk is involved, and they all held off. It was
• 6:29
  Speaker 3: it took Donald Trump to actually do it. So I
• 6:32
  Speaker 3: think Israel is they must have some very damning evidence
• 6:35
  Speaker 3: against him. And and for Natiyahoo and Israel, this is
• 6:40
  Speaker 3: also their once in a lifetime chance. They're never they
• 6:44
  Speaker 3: figured they're probably not not gonna get another president that's
• 6:48
  Speaker 3: so compromised as this one. And and and for them,
• 6:53
  Speaker 3: for for for Israel, Natariyapu was on records saying, I
• 6:56
  Speaker 3: don't care what happened Eugene change or the distalization, Balkanization,
• 7:01
  Speaker 3: It's all good. It's all good, you know. That's what's
• 7:04
  Speaker 3: Israel's goal. Israel's goal is destroyed. I wrong as a potent,
• 7:09
  Speaker 3: coherent political entity in West Asia that could present an
• 7:14
  Speaker 3: obstacle to the Greater Israel project that has been Israel's
• 7:18
  Speaker 3: plan forever. But they know they cannot do it alone.
• 7:22
  Speaker 3: They know they lack the capability to do it, so
• 7:24
  Speaker 3: they have to drag Uncle Sam into it. And now
• 7:28
  Speaker 3: we're we're now we're doing it. And and now they're
• 7:31
  Speaker 3: I think again, I think Trump did it is because
• 7:35
  Speaker 3: he the whole Venezuela thing got to his head and
• 7:39
  Speaker 3: his advisor probably told him, this will be an easy job.
• 7:43
  Speaker 3: Will go in quick and out. We'll just take our
• 7:46
  Speaker 3: ever senior leadership and decapitation strike and the rest of
• 7:49
  Speaker 3: the Iranian government will fall over. Well, guess what they didn't.
• 7:53
  Speaker 3: And and this is another thing what United States that
• 7:56
  Speaker 3: don't understand the Iranian They have their culture, their religion.
• 8:02
  Speaker 3: Uh have this concept of Martyrden and and that's something
• 8:08
  Speaker 3: Americans don't understand. They don't understand about sacrifice. They don't
• 8:12
  Speaker 3: understand the concept of sacrifice for the greater goods and
• 8:17
  Speaker 3: and for the for the Iranian leader comment, and he's
• 8:21
  Speaker 3: like eighty six years old. He did not hiding a bunker.
• 8:25
  Speaker 3: You know, he could have. He could have hiding a bunker.
• 8:27
  Speaker 3: He didn't. He chose to spend time in his home
• 8:30
  Speaker 3: with his family. And that's where they killed him, you know,
• 8:33
  Speaker 3: along with his granddaughter, his daughter, his son in law,
• 8:37
  Speaker 3: you know, all his family. And and but now that
• 8:41
  Speaker 3: made him a martyr. And and and guess what he
• 8:45
  Speaker 3: was a one the Spring leader Kammulated was the one
• 8:48
  Speaker 3: who issued a FOIS against you wrong acquiring nuclear weapon,
• 8:53
  Speaker 3: and United States took him out. And on top of that,
• 8:56
  Speaker 3: they took out all the negotiators that was involved in
• 9:00
  Speaker 3: the negotiation with United States. So, uh, you know, US
• 9:04
  Speaker 3: has no desire for peace. US and Israel, they have
• 9:07
  Speaker 3: no sincere desire for peace settlement. Their goal has always
• 9:11
  Speaker 3: been dismemberment of you wrong. And and that's what they're
• 9:16
  Speaker 3: they're they're doing right now, just stabilization and just member
• 9:19
  Speaker 3: of your so you're wrong. They're fighting for survivals. This
• 9:21
  Speaker 3: is an existential fight for them. This is why this
• 9:25
  Speaker 3: is not a fight that US can win because for
• 9:27
  Speaker 3: for United States, this is really not an existential fight.
• 9:31
  Speaker 3: We do not need to be involved in your own
• 9:34
  Speaker 3: at all. You wrong, do not put pose exists, don't
• 9:37
  Speaker 3: show threat to the United States. This is the This
• 9:40
  Speaker 3: is a war that Trump chose to go go after
• 9:45
  Speaker 3: and and now we're seeing the consequences. You know, Trump
• 9:49
  Speaker 3: is already desperate. They have just lifted sanctioned. They had
• 9:53
  Speaker 3: just lifted sanction on ran In oil. You know, first
• 9:56
  Speaker 3: they left the sanction on Russian oil because they realized, crap,
• 10:01
  Speaker 3: we have to increase the supply of oil worldwide. But
• 10:06
  Speaker 3: you know what, if you think about it, they're actually
• 10:08
  Speaker 3: not increasing the supply to the global oil market because
• 10:12
  Speaker 3: Russian oil has always been available to go to Before
• 10:16
  Speaker 3: it was China and India, and then India was pressured
• 10:19
  Speaker 3: by the United States to stop purchasing. So you're running
• 10:22
  Speaker 3: oil and Russian oil they were going to China. And
• 10:26
  Speaker 3: now United States have to wave, have to put a
• 10:30
  Speaker 3: sanction waivers because US know all its allies are getting screwed.
• 10:34
  Speaker 3: You know, you have countries like South Korea and Japan
• 10:37
  Speaker 3: who're ninety percent relying on oil coming from the Australia hormones.
• 10:42
  Speaker 3: And now this is why US have to waiver the
• 10:47
  Speaker 3: sanctions so they will at least allow Japan, Philippines, South Korea,
• 10:55
  Speaker 3: et cetera, to be able to purchase you running oil
• 10:59
  Speaker 3: and run and oil because otherwise they would have been
• 11:02
  Speaker 3: totally school and Australia as well. Australia they they depend on.
• 11:07
  Speaker 3: You know, thirty two percent of Australian's jet fuel come
• 11:11
  Speaker 3: from China. And after the war started, China says, you
• 11:14
  Speaker 3: know what, we need our we need all the gas
• 11:18
  Speaker 3: link and diesel for ourselves. We're gonna stop exporting because
• 11:21
  Speaker 3: China was one of the largest exporter of petroleum products.
• 11:25
  Speaker 3: Even though China was a large importer, because China has
• 11:28
  Speaker 3: a huge refining capacity, they are one of the largest
• 11:32
  Speaker 3: exporter of diesel, gas and jet field in the region
• 11:37
  Speaker 3: and they supply Australia with thirty two percent of his
• 11:40
  Speaker 3: jet field. Well, guess what, that thirty two percent is
• 11:42
  Speaker 3: just gone like that. China's like, sorry, we have to
• 11:45
  Speaker 3: keep it for ourselves. You know, we can't, we can't
• 11:48
  Speaker 3: keep exporting. And on top of that, China also put
• 11:53
  Speaker 3: a ban on export of fertilizers nitrogen potassium, which is
• 12:00
  Speaker 3: very important fertilizer. That's what people many people don't realize.
• 12:04
  Speaker 3: Fertilizers also synthesize from oil and gas, and China says, okay,
• 12:10
  Speaker 3: we have again, we have to serve our own people. First,
• 12:14
  Speaker 3: we're no longer going to explore those fertilizers. So all
• 12:17
  Speaker 3: these other countries are screw screw. Right now is planting season,
• 12:22
  Speaker 3: it's spraying, it's planting season. This is when the farmers
• 12:25
  Speaker 3: started to plan for the whole the new year, and
• 12:28
  Speaker 3: they're gonna need a lot of fertilizers and and and
• 12:31
  Speaker 3: Qatar gas just being completely cut off, and not only
• 12:36
  Speaker 3: agriculture has impacted helium. Taiwan. You know Taiwan. I just
• 12:41
  Speaker 3: saw a tweet somebody says, oh, GSMC, the Taiwan semiconductor
• 12:45
  Speaker 3: is a is a straight or horror moves for AI.
• 12:48
  Speaker 3: I'm like, no, no, no, the straight or horror moves is
• 12:51
  Speaker 3: the straighter horror moves for AI. Because Taiwan semiconductors they
• 12:57
  Speaker 3: depend on seventy percent of their helium supply coming out
• 13:02
  Speaker 3: of the Persian Gulf, mostly from Qatar, and that has
• 13:06
  Speaker 3: been completely cut off. And you need halium to make
• 13:10
  Speaker 3: semiconductor chips. Well, guess what, I forget about that. And
• 13:14
  Speaker 3: you know, thanks to the United States, the Donald Trump's
• 13:17
  Speaker 3: dumb decision, you can forget about you know, they are
• 13:22
  Speaker 3: the i Wan is going to put the final nail
• 13:24
  Speaker 3: in the coffin into the whole AI bubble right now.
• 13:27
  Speaker 3: I mean, like I was joking, you know, like because
• 13:31
  Speaker 3: the new Doom movie was coming out. You know, for
• 13:33
  Speaker 3: people who read the Doom series, that the whole series,
• 13:36
  Speaker 3: the whole book of Doom was on the premises before
• 13:41
  Speaker 3: what the story of Doing took place. There's something called
• 13:43
  Speaker 3: the Buttalarian Jihad where the people revolted against the thinking machines, right,
• 13:50
  Speaker 3: and they wipe out all the thinking machines, all the
• 13:53
  Speaker 3: AI and stuff. So I made a tweet. Now the
• 13:56
  Speaker 3: buttering Btellarian Jihad is now and Uran just started. They
• 14:00
  Speaker 3: started against the whole AI extinct machines. By wiping out
• 14:05
  Speaker 3: the alien supply, you're not gonna get your countary chips
• 14:08
  Speaker 3: and forget about expansion of your AI data centers. You're
• 14:11
  Speaker 3: not getting the AI. First of all, AI is also
• 14:14
  Speaker 3: very energy intensive, so first you're not getting the chips,
• 14:17
  Speaker 3: and then you're not getting the energy to run your
• 14:19
  Speaker 3: data centers because AI is very energy intensive. So actually Amazon,
• 14:26
  Speaker 3: a lot of those big companies actually put their AI
• 14:29
  Speaker 3: center in the Gulf region, in the United Arab Emirates
• 14:34
  Speaker 3: in places like that because they thought, oh, we're being smart.
• 14:36
  Speaker 3: We're gonna put our AI center closer to the energy
• 14:40
  Speaker 3: supply while all those AI centers are under attack by
• 14:43
  Speaker 3: You're on in this house and Jones right now. So
• 14:46
  Speaker 3: forget for you know the for for the longest time,
• 14:49
  Speaker 3: the United States economy would have been in recession if
• 14:53
  Speaker 3: you've taken out all these humongous investment into AI industry, Well,
• 14:59
  Speaker 3: I guess what is the AI industry. You can kiss
• 15:02
  Speaker 3: the AI industry goodbye right now because they're not getting
• 15:05
  Speaker 3: gonna get the energy to run it there. The other
• 15:08
  Speaker 3: data center in Middle East is getting decimated. They're not
• 15:10
  Speaker 3: getting any more helium supply to to to make more
• 15:14
  Speaker 3: chips and and you know this is gonna be a
• 15:18
  Speaker 3: problem for everyone. You know, fertilizers, fuel, you don't have fuel.
• 15:24
  Speaker 3: You see, this is why before while the war was
• 15:30
  Speaker 3: going on, you see Neil Kng think tanks like Hudson
• 15:33
  Speaker 3: Institute was putting out like uh, they're they're giving like
• 15:38
  Speaker 3: blowjob to to to to to Trump in like like
• 15:42
  Speaker 3: pieces like oh this is Trump. Trump played five D chess.
• 15:46
  Speaker 3: You know this is really a five D chess move
• 15:50
  Speaker 3: against China. Trump is grabbing all the energies supply in
• 15:54
  Speaker 3: the world, you know, from Venezuela to you to Youra.
• 15:57
  Speaker 3: And so by the time Trump goes to meet Chigi
• 16:00
  Speaker 3: opinion beije In, he will have a strong hand. You know,
• 16:03
  Speaker 3: he will have China buy the balls by controlling all
• 16:05
  Speaker 3: China's vital energies fly. Well, guess what Trump is now
• 16:10
  Speaker 3: thinking about postponing or cancel his trip to China because
• 16:16
  Speaker 3: he knows he will show up with a very very weekend.
• 16:20
  Speaker 3: China is actually best positioned to weather the storm right
• 16:24
  Speaker 3: now because China has been stockpiling there's strategic oil reserve
• 16:30
  Speaker 3: for the last four years. They've been taking advantage of
• 16:33
  Speaker 3: the historically low oil prices by purchasing a lot of
• 16:36
  Speaker 3: oil from Russia, from Iran, from Saudi Arabia, from Africa.
• 16:41
  Speaker 3: So China has one two to one point five billion
• 16:46
  Speaker 3: barrels of oil setting in their strategic oil reserve, and
• 16:51
  Speaker 3: they have another one hundred and forty four million barrels
• 16:54
  Speaker 3: of Uranian oil heading in their way. By the way
• 16:57
  Speaker 3: you run right now, is exporting more oil to China
• 17:01
  Speaker 3: than they have ever done before then before the war.
• 17:04
  Speaker 3: And they're they're they're doing it at a higher oil
• 17:06
  Speaker 3: price too. So so this this war has been I mean,
• 17:10
  Speaker 3: in terms of economy, is is the whole waiver of
• 17:14
  Speaker 3: US sanction, and now Uran is exporting more oil. Youuran
• 17:19
  Speaker 3: and Russia is gonna benefit from the high oil prices
• 17:23
  Speaker 3: and and and and that will allow you wrong to
• 17:27
  Speaker 3: make more missiles, you know, you know, unlike China's relationship
• 17:31
  Speaker 3: with the United States, where China announgst they put a
• 17:34
  Speaker 3: ban on rare earth minerals to US industrial military industrial complex,
• 17:41
  Speaker 3: which makes it very hard for US to be able
• 17:44
  Speaker 3: to replace its arsenal of uh you know, Patriot missiles
• 17:48
  Speaker 3: and all the other missile interceptors. You wrang does not
• 17:51
  Speaker 3: have that problem. China has been supplying you wrong with
• 17:55
  Speaker 3: chemical precursors that's needed to make missiles. I mean that
• 18:01
  Speaker 3: China has sent those shipments before the Twelve Days Wars
• 18:04
  Speaker 3: and after twelve Days, So China got Iran got enough
• 18:09
  Speaker 3: material from China to make more missiles and to keep
• 18:12
  Speaker 3: their missile broach coming, their miss out and Joon strike coming.
• 18:16
  Speaker 3: And the supply line to you run from China and Russia.
• 18:20
  Speaker 3: They don't need to go through the shipping or the
• 18:24
  Speaker 3: world shipping lanes. They can go either over land over
• 18:27
  Speaker 3: the railroad that China Hell helped build, or they can
• 18:30
  Speaker 3: go over Caspian Seas from Russia, both cases outside of
• 18:35
  Speaker 3: the reach of the US Navy. And what the US
• 18:39
  Speaker 3: Navy is doing well, the USS four is having some
• 18:43
  Speaker 3: medical episode, I'm sorry, a fire in the laundry room, right.
• 18:48
  Speaker 3: I mean first they said that they had a ship
• 18:50
  Speaker 3: overflowing problem on the ship, and then the fire over
• 18:53
  Speaker 3: in the laundry room that the six hundred sailors lost
• 18:57
  Speaker 3: their beds. I mean, at this point, it's less in
• 19:00
  Speaker 3: embarrassing for them just to say, Okay, you ran in
• 19:02
  Speaker 3: mess hit us, and if you said you run in
• 19:05
  Speaker 3: mess ahead us, you'll be less embarrassing than whatever story
• 19:08
  Speaker 3: they're putting out right now. Fire in the laundry room.
• 19:11
  Speaker 3: We have to we have to send the USS ford
• 19:13
  Speaker 3: back to back to Ports for repair, and the other
• 19:17
  Speaker 3: aircraft carrier in the group in the region the US
• 19:21
  Speaker 3: is Lincoln. It put a thousand kloment between itself and
• 19:27
  Speaker 3: the coastline of Iran. You went behind the you went
• 19:31
  Speaker 3: behind the whole country of Oman to hide behind the
• 19:34
  Speaker 3: mountains from from the Iranian missed out and Jones uh yeah,
• 19:39
  Speaker 3: and this is you know, just apparently the largest battle
• 19:42
  Speaker 3: of the US Navy has engaged in in after World
• 19:46
  Speaker 3: War Two. We know that because back in the Red
• 19:50
  Speaker 3: Sea Operation a year ago, they say, oh, this is
• 19:53
  Speaker 3: the most intensive naval engagement we have been evolved in
• 19:57
  Speaker 3: since World War Two. Well, this is much much bigger
• 20:00
  Speaker 3: than than the so called Operation Prosperity Guardian, which they
• 20:04
  Speaker 3: failed to stop. Hooties. Uh and so so yeah, that
• 20:09
  Speaker 3: what has this war has shown is really showed that
• 20:13
  Speaker 3: US is a paper tiger. It's it's it's it cannot
• 20:17
  Speaker 3: stop the attack on the US basis it cannot protect
• 20:22
  Speaker 3: its so called allies in the in the region. Then
• 20:25
  Speaker 3: what is the use to have US presence in the region.
• 20:29
  Speaker 3: The whole premise of the US Empire in the West
• 20:32
  Speaker 3: Asia is so they extend their security umbrella to cover
• 20:37
  Speaker 3: their ally, to cover UAE, to cover Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Israel.
• 20:44
  Speaker 3: But all of them are under attack and there's nothing
• 20:47
  Speaker 3: US can do about it. You know, we we we
• 20:51
  Speaker 3: haven't seen the you know US both it has the
• 20:55
  Speaker 3: world's most advanced anti missile system. Well we can now
• 20:59
  Speaker 3: we see, if you have enough missiles, you can overwhelm
• 21:02
  Speaker 3: whatever missile anti missile system that put up with because
• 21:06
  Speaker 3: those those anti missile systems are expensive. Each its missile
• 21:10
  Speaker 3: interceptors cost like upwards of more than a million dollars,
• 21:14
  Speaker 3: you know, in terms of that system that costs. That
• 21:18
  Speaker 3: interceptor cost tens of millions of dollars, and then Urani
• 21:21
  Speaker 3: and Jones only costs like thirty thirty thousand and fifty
• 21:24
  Speaker 3: thousand US dollars they can make more. US is not
• 21:29
  Speaker 3: gonna win this this world war of attrition while it's
• 21:34
  Speaker 3: it's whole physical infrastructure for its empire has been severely degraded.
• 21:39
  Speaker 3: You know, remember peach Headset was saying in press conference,
• 21:44
  Speaker 3: he was who was latching out, He was totally have
• 21:46
  Speaker 3: a crash out. He said, don't you understand how hard
• 21:49
  Speaker 3: it is, what it is like for our pilots to
• 21:51
  Speaker 3: fly thirty six hours straight? And you were like, why
• 21:55
  Speaker 3: are the US pilots flying thirty six hours straight? Well,
• 21:59
  Speaker 3: that's because they can't use any of their any of
• 22:02
  Speaker 3: their bases in the region anymore. They have been destroyed
• 22:04
  Speaker 3: because they have to do it from much much further away.
• 22:07
  Speaker 3: This is why US pilots have have to keep stay
• 22:11
  Speaker 3: awake for thirty six hours you know they're on drugs there,
• 22:14
  Speaker 3: you know there there's no way man, they're they're flying
• 22:19
  Speaker 3: thirty six hours straight. You know you are you know
• 22:21
  Speaker 3: they're on drugs, man, And and and and this is
• 22:27
  Speaker 3: this is a state of the US Empire unfortunately, And
• 22:31
  Speaker 3: and Trump has done his best job to show that
• 22:34
  Speaker 3: emporor has no club. He he really showed that that
• 22:38
  Speaker 3: the US Empire is actually naked, exposed, and and the
• 22:44
  Speaker 3: all the rationale for the US empire system is getting
• 22:47
  Speaker 3: blown to pieces by Iranian dunes and missiles right now.
• 22:51
  Speaker 3: And and and remember peach Head said they well they'll
• 22:55
  Speaker 3: gains air spiority over Iran in the coming days. Well
• 22:58
  Speaker 3: that was like a week ago. And and two F
• 23:04
  Speaker 3: thirty five to F thirty five has just fallen out
• 23:07
  Speaker 3: of the sky since. And this is a big deal
• 23:10
  Speaker 3: because if they can't use their F thirty five, that
• 23:15
  Speaker 3: means they have to use their older legacy of airplanes
• 23:20
  Speaker 3: mean and which means they cannot easily cross into Iranian airspace.
• 23:24
  Speaker 3: If you've seen all the attacks on Iran, they're mostly
• 23:27
  Speaker 3: concentrated on the corridor on the western side of Iran.
• 23:31
  Speaker 3: So what that means is they're flying their planes right
• 23:35
  Speaker 3: up to the border of Ran and they're flying, they're
• 23:39
  Speaker 3: firing off all the standoff munitions like CUS missiles into
• 23:43
  Speaker 3: Uran because again they do not have air superiority. They're
• 23:47
  Speaker 3: afraid of Iranian air defents and and and those cuise
• 23:52
  Speaker 3: missiles numbers are limited. You know, this is what's a
• 23:56
  Speaker 3: problem they had known since so the Twelve Days War.
• 24:00
  Speaker 3: The first is the missile interceptors that has been depleted,
• 24:03
  Speaker 3: and now they've been depleting their standoff munitions as well.
• 24:08
  Speaker 3: You know, their hope was they will gain air spirity,
• 24:11
  Speaker 3: so they will be able to fly B fifty two
• 24:14
  Speaker 3: over Tehran and drop dumb bombs like those or maybe
• 24:20
  Speaker 3: even laser guided bombs because those are cheaper and the
• 24:23
  Speaker 3: US have plenty. But so far US has shown it
• 24:26
  Speaker 3: has no air spirity. You know, US thirty five just
• 24:29
  Speaker 3: went down. I think they have some medical emergency. And
• 24:41
  Speaker 3: what this really has shown is if US cannot take
• 24:45
  Speaker 3: on Iran, there's no hope. There's no hope whatsoever for
• 24:51
  Speaker 3: US war against China. I mean, forget about it, forget
• 24:54
  Speaker 3: if I don't even think about it. This was a
• 24:56
  Speaker 3: provent ground to show how much a paper tiger the
• 25:01
  Speaker 3: US military really is that they used to boast. You
• 25:05
  Speaker 3: know how US military has tons of combat experience, where
• 25:09
  Speaker 3: the Chinese they have none because they haven't thought a
• 25:11
  Speaker 3: war for a long time. But they haven't thought a
• 25:13
  Speaker 3: war for forty years. Well, guess what it turns out
• 25:16
  Speaker 3: the US combat experiences has been been composed of striking
• 25:21
  Speaker 3: against gold herds and Afghan weddings. And this is the
• 25:27
  Speaker 3: first time they have never fought an enemy with access
• 25:31
  Speaker 3: to satellite intelligence before. And this time is different. This
• 25:35
  Speaker 3: time is different because Iran is getting help. The Iran
• 25:40
  Speaker 3: has very good targeting system right now compared to what
• 25:43
  Speaker 3: they have done in the Dwelf Days war. This time
• 25:45
  Speaker 3: they know where to hit, what to hit, and they're
• 25:49
  Speaker 3: getting there. Both their own indigenous capability has improved. Roan
• 25:54
  Speaker 3: obviously have some very good human intelligence on the ground
• 25:57
  Speaker 3: and they're getting style like targeting help from Russia and China.
• 26:03
  Speaker 3: And and this is why the US satellite company had
• 26:08
  Speaker 3: now post put up a temporary pause on the image
• 26:13
  Speaker 3: satellite images coming out of West Asia for like ninety
• 26:16
  Speaker 3: two hours. But you know that's not their official reason
• 26:21
  Speaker 3: is like, oh, yeah, we don't want to aid the enemy.
• 26:23
  Speaker 3: Look Iranians said, don't meet you. They have asked to
• 26:27
  Speaker 3: Chinese satellites. So what they're really doing they don't want you.
• 26:31
  Speaker 3: They don't want you to know how much US infrastructure
• 26:36
  Speaker 3: has been damaged. You know, but thanks to to Chinese
• 26:41
  Speaker 3: satellite companies like mes our Vision, we can see now.
• 26:44
  Speaker 3: We can see now it's all freely available on the web.
• 26:47
  Speaker 3: We can see the extensive damage the Urani missile and
• 26:50
  Speaker 3: Jones have wrecked on the US basis. And and and
• 26:55
  Speaker 3: NATO just announced they're they're taking out their they're taking
• 26:59
  Speaker 3: out their missed staff out of Iraq. First of all,
• 27:02
  Speaker 3: why is NATO still in Iraq? But okay, but anyway
• 27:05
  Speaker 3: that they're they're they're getting they're they're they're pulling out.
• 27:08
  Speaker 3: French also said said the same thing after one of
• 27:11
  Speaker 3: the French officers died in Iraq. Uh, these guys, all
• 27:14
  Speaker 3: these NATO countries that have been deeply embedded in the region.
• 27:19
  Speaker 3: You know, despite what Donald Trump's complaining about, you know,
• 27:22
  Speaker 3: NATO is a paper tiger. Well it's it's chill, but
• 27:25
  Speaker 3: he said, you and NATO will be a favorite tiger
• 27:28
  Speaker 3: without the United States. Well, then why are you complaining?
• 27:31
  Speaker 3: US is the largest military in the NATO. If United
• 27:33
  Speaker 3: States can't do anything to open the street or her moves,
• 27:37
  Speaker 3: what's a couple more of French and German ship is
• 27:39
  Speaker 3: gonna help nothing? Nothing, and and and and the Europeans
• 27:43
  Speaker 3: knows it too. They don't want to go down with
• 27:45
  Speaker 3: the ship right now. And it and this is why,
• 27:50
  Speaker 3: uh not. But the problem is wearing a very dangerous
• 27:53
  Speaker 3: phase of the war because Donald Trump tried to find
• 27:58
  Speaker 3: an off ramp, but there's no off ramp. There's no
• 28:01
  Speaker 3: off ramp. It's not up to him to end the
• 28:03
  Speaker 3: war right now. It's so Uranians, uh you know, go
• 28:07
  Speaker 3: back to the to the book Doom. There's a famous
• 28:09
  Speaker 3: quote fun Doom. Whoever can destroy a thing controls it.
• 28:16
  Speaker 3: It's Iranians that control the flow of the oil right now.
• 28:21
  Speaker 3: You know, United States when they're thinking they can control
• 28:24
  Speaker 3: the flow of oil and dictate who gets oil who doesn't, Well,
• 28:27
  Speaker 3: guess what Uranians are setting the terms right now. And
• 28:30
  Speaker 3: they're the one says okay, Chinese ship okay, you know,
• 28:35
  Speaker 3: and and and oil that's paid in Chinese yuan. Okay.
• 28:40
  Speaker 3: Uran is decolonized West Asia and the dollarizing at the
• 28:45
  Speaker 3: same time. I mean Uran single handedly is dismantling the
• 28:50
  Speaker 3: US imperial system right now, universe Asia, and it's beautiful.
• 28:54
  Speaker 3: I love it.
• 28:55
  Speaker 2: And you know one thing. Got two fun facts.
• 28:59
  Speaker 1: The Baboo system is far more advanced and has four
• 29:02
  Speaker 1: more satellites and it's constellation then, and it's far more accurate.
• 29:07
  Speaker 2: Than GPS one. Most people don't know that.
• 29:10
  Speaker 1: The Chinese satellite system is more advanced, more modern, and
• 29:15
  Speaker 1: it's larger than and and more people have switched to
• 29:18
  Speaker 1: the bay Doo. And in the the strategic.
• 29:23
  Speaker 2: UH documents that were signed between.
• 29:26
  Speaker 1: The RUN and China, the RUN gets access to the
• 29:30
  Speaker 1: bay Do system so they don't need UH GPS or
• 29:36
  Speaker 1: or the European Satellite System or whatever.
• 29:40
  Speaker 2: So they have that. Another fun fact before we go further.
• 29:43
  Speaker 2: I saw.
• 29:44
  Speaker 1: Flying crocodile says this that you know, I'm a student
• 29:48
  Speaker 1: of history, so when I see things, I have to
• 29:50
  Speaker 1: point it out.
• 29:50
  Speaker 2: Uh.
• 29:51
  Speaker 1: Flying crocodile says, uh something about the Great Satan.
• 29:57
  Speaker 2: Let me pull it up here, it is right here.
• 30:00
  Speaker 1: Flyin Krakgadile says, America is living up to the Iranian
• 30:03
  Speaker 1: expectation as the Great Devil by doing extremely evil and
• 30:08
  Speaker 1: illegal acts. As a matter of fact. Do you know
• 30:10
  Speaker 1: where that term came from? I'm since I'm a student
• 30:12
  Speaker 1: of history and I studied West Asia and Persia. Actually
• 30:16
  Speaker 1: this took place in France when the Ayatolla Komine was
• 30:21
  Speaker 1: in France in exile. He met with the honorable Elijah
• 30:25
  Speaker 1: Muhammad out of the United States, and that is when
• 30:31
  Speaker 1: he went back to Iran.
• 30:34
  Speaker 2: He started calling the United States the great Satan and
• 30:38
  Speaker 2: Israel the small Satan.
• 30:40
  Speaker 1: So I'm a student, I'm a history student, and most
• 30:44
  Speaker 1: people don't even know that. But that is a fact
• 30:46
  Speaker 1: right there. So let me go further. Called, So, someone
• 30:51
  Speaker 1: wanted to ask you a question. I believe it was
• 30:53
  Speaker 1: someone called Sheena or Sheila. I don't I'm trying to
• 30:58
  Speaker 1: Chanel thirty two to wanted to ask you a question.
• 31:04
  Speaker 1: Let me scroll down to it before we go further.
• 31:06
  Speaker 1: Because she said please, please, please, and I wanted to
• 31:09
  Speaker 1: respect her wishes if we can't.
• 31:11
  Speaker 2: Uh So she said, please ask a call.
• 31:15
  Speaker 1: Is it beneficial to Iran to get payment in real
• 31:18
  Speaker 1: instead of you on? I don't think so because the
• 31:21
  Speaker 1: real is not convertible like that? But what is What
• 31:24
  Speaker 1: is your take on that call?
• 31:26
  Speaker 3: Yeah? Actually you're wrong. There there's a couple of benefits
• 31:31
  Speaker 3: of getting paid in yuan is uh. They can then
• 31:35
  Speaker 3: use that you want to go buy more stuff from China,
• 31:38
  Speaker 3: and China has is a world manufacturing superpower right now.
• 31:43
  Speaker 3: They can make everything. So so just the the power
• 31:48
  Speaker 3: of you on, I think will go a lot further
• 31:52
  Speaker 3: than real at this point and this particular juncture. Yeah,
• 31:59
  Speaker 3: so US, you go ahead. Sorry, I was responding to
• 32:03
  Speaker 3: that that the US is response sending more ships. This
• 32:07
  Speaker 3: is the warring part that the part I worry about,
• 32:10
  Speaker 3: because US is sending a couple of ships with five
• 32:15
  Speaker 3: thousand US marines from their basis in Okinawa to the
• 32:20
  Speaker 3: theater in West Asia right now, and as we speak,
• 32:24
  Speaker 3: those ships are transitting through the Straight of Malacca from
• 32:28
  Speaker 3: Singapore and it's gonna take them two weeks to arrive
• 32:34
  Speaker 3: in position. That means they at least expect minimum, the
• 32:40
  Speaker 3: war will last more than two weeks, you know, before
• 32:42
  Speaker 3: the marine will even arrive. And this is really bad
• 32:46
  Speaker 3: for the world economy of course, to have another to
• 32:50
  Speaker 3: have the oil blockage to go on even longer. So
• 32:53
  Speaker 3: right now, their estimate, even if the Straight or Hormones
• 32:56
  Speaker 3: were open today, it will take six months to restore
• 33:02
  Speaker 3: all the oil infrastructure, infrastructure to get the oil flow
• 33:06
  Speaker 3: again at the same rate as it was before the
• 33:09
  Speaker 3: war started. So either way, we're looking at a very
• 33:14
  Speaker 3: dire Uh. We're looking at a very dire situation for
• 33:19
  Speaker 3: the world economy right now. And this, you know, the
• 33:23
  Speaker 3: oil price had finally skyrocketed. Uh. And and this is
• 33:28
  Speaker 3: because nobody expect a quick resolution anytime soon. Uh. By
• 33:33
  Speaker 3: the way, that five thousand marines is not gonna make
• 33:35
  Speaker 3: any dent. I mean, this is this is ridiculous. Trump
• 33:39
  Speaker 3: is expecting to send them to take over this island
• 33:42
  Speaker 3: in the Persian Gulf from Uran that holes Urons oil facilities. Uh.
• 33:50
  Speaker 3: This Uran's closet is very jagged, you know, with may
• 33:55
  Speaker 3: many high cliffs. For the people who are still in
• 33:59
  Speaker 3: the history, you know, people must remember this. There was
• 34:02
  Speaker 3: this thing called the Campaign of Gallipoli in World War
• 34:06
  Speaker 3: One when the British Empires send mostly Australians and New
• 34:11
  Speaker 3: Zealand soldiers try to take Gallipoli from from Ottoman from
• 34:17
  Speaker 3: the Ottoman Empire in order to open the Straight of
• 34:20
  Speaker 3: Bosphorus to so they can supply Russia's through Black Sea. Well,
• 34:25
  Speaker 3: the Galipoli was a complete disaster because they're trying to
• 34:30
  Speaker 3: do a beach landing and they're surrounded by the high
• 34:34
  Speaker 3: ground so that the Ottomans can just pick them off
• 34:38
  Speaker 3: from you know, fun from their higher position. And this
• 34:42
  Speaker 3: is exactly type of geography the US Marine is getting into.
• 34:47
  Speaker 3: They're gonna be like they're they're gonna be Iranians will
• 34:52
  Speaker 3: shoot them like like you know, like shooting fishing a barrel.
• 34:56
  Speaker 3: Uh And And this is all because Trump Eagle cannot
• 35:01
  Speaker 3: allow him at this point to do a come full
• 35:04
  Speaker 3: full climb down and just declare victory and go home.
• 35:07
  Speaker 3: I think he very much would like to declare victory
• 35:09
  Speaker 3: and go home, but right now, if he does, it's
• 35:15
  Speaker 3: basically a complete admission of defeat all from because the
• 35:20
  Speaker 3: US Empire is going to be gone from Midwest Asia
• 35:25
  Speaker 3: and possibly forever. This is why he is hanging on.
• 35:28
  Speaker 3: And that's a dangerous part is he will drag this
• 35:32
  Speaker 3: war for a long long time. And this is what
• 35:36
  Speaker 3: happened in the Vietnam War. By the way, all the
• 35:40
  Speaker 3: Pendagon planners knew, they knew full well going into the
• 35:45
  Speaker 3: Vietnam that this is a war of attrition that they
• 35:48
  Speaker 3: cannot win because you know, Vietnam was getting fully supplied
• 35:53
  Speaker 3: by China and Soviet Union, but they still dragged the
• 35:59
  Speaker 3: war out for years because there's no political will to
• 36:05
  Speaker 3: stop it, because they thought, oh, we cannot afford to
• 36:08
  Speaker 3: look weak, so we got to just keep going to
• 36:11
  Speaker 3: send more young, working class young man into the meat grinder.
• 36:14
  Speaker 3: And and that's exactly what's gonna happen, you know, more
• 36:18
  Speaker 3: They're gonna send more working classes American kids go to
• 36:21
  Speaker 3: die for Israel. This is very unfortunate.
• 36:25
  Speaker 1: Those who don't learn from history usually repeats it right.
• 36:29
  Speaker 1: And and what we're seeing the empires of yesteryear and
• 36:34
  Speaker 1: how they collapsed, and we're seeing that in.
• 36:36
  Speaker 2: Real time in our lifetime.
• 36:39
  Speaker 1: But someone wanted to ask you something, and I think
• 36:42
  Speaker 1: I slipped my I want to apologize everybody because this
• 36:46
  Speaker 1: thing is.
• 36:46
  Speaker 2: Going so fast and I'm trying to pull questions out
• 36:50
  Speaker 2: of there, but it is jumping.
• 36:51
  Speaker 1: So but Carl uh, are you calling peak HATESI peak
• 36:56
  Speaker 1: Pete hates. If a liar he says that to the
• 36:59
  Speaker 1: United States is winning and everything is going good, and
• 37:02
  Speaker 1: you're telling me that he is lying and and and
• 37:05
  Speaker 1: that American is strong and proud and they don't need
• 37:08
  Speaker 1: any help.
• 37:10
  Speaker 3: Well, the peach head Seth had said, we we had said,
• 37:13
  Speaker 3: we have been winning for the last what three weeks?
• 37:16
  Speaker 3: You know, every day he comes out is win, win, win.
• 37:19
  Speaker 3: I mean there's too much winning. I can't take anymore,
• 37:23
  Speaker 3: like Trump, Like Trump said during his campaign trial, Wait,
• 37:26
  Speaker 3: we're winning so much, you'll be sick and tire winning.
• 37:29
  Speaker 3: I am sick and tired. Though the peach head sef
• 37:32
  Speaker 3: win right now, I mean like, uh, we can't, we can't.
• 37:34
  Speaker 3: We can't stop winning anytime. But let's remember, let's remember
• 37:40
  Speaker 3: Pete head Seth. What was his job before he became
• 37:43
  Speaker 3: Secretary of War. Dude is a is a live show
• 37:48
  Speaker 3: host for Fox News. That is job qualification. And Trump,
• 37:53
  Speaker 3: you know, he's another reality TV show host.
• 37:56
  Speaker 2: This is what happened.
• 37:57
  Speaker 3: Our country, United States is literally wrung by bad TV
• 38:01
  Speaker 3: personality right now. All they know how to do is
• 38:05
  Speaker 3: to act tough in front of the camera, to huff
• 38:07
  Speaker 3: and puff that. You know, that's what they have been
• 38:11
  Speaker 3: conditioned to do. But they don't know anything about how
• 38:15
  Speaker 3: to run a country, much less than an empire. And
• 38:20
  Speaker 3: he shows and he shows, and right now we we
• 38:24
  Speaker 3: are living. This is why you know, I used to
• 38:29
  Speaker 3: joke that you know Trump is my president because he
• 38:33
  Speaker 3: is my president for the accelerationism of American decline. Well,
• 38:38
  Speaker 3: I mean that's still true, that's still true. She he
• 38:41
  Speaker 3: has really set the path for uh, the accelerated decline
• 38:47
  Speaker 3: of the US empire right now. And everybody can see
• 38:51
  Speaker 3: how ridiculous. Or by the way, did you just see
• 38:54
  Speaker 3: the other press conference that Trump held with the Japanese
• 38:59
  Speaker 3: Prime minister. Sure so, Japanese Prime Minister Takaichi came for
• 39:03
  Speaker 3: a visit and a Japanese reporter ask a question, say,
• 39:09
  Speaker 3: why did you not inform your allies like US Japan
• 39:15
  Speaker 3: about your attack on you wrong? And and Trump says, well,
• 39:20
  Speaker 3: because I want to preserve the element of surprise. You
• 39:23
  Speaker 3: Japanese know everything about surprise. You did not tell me
• 39:27
  Speaker 3: about Parl Harmer. This is kind of the leadership we
• 39:32
  Speaker 3: have in this country right now. I mean, it's comical.
• 39:35
  Speaker 3: It's comical that people always people always say, oh, Carl,
• 39:38
  Speaker 3: you laugh too much on the show. It's very serious. Look, man,
• 39:42
  Speaker 3: in the world like this, this is this is the
• 39:45
  Speaker 3: best way to cope. This is this is uh. You
• 39:48
  Speaker 3: have to laugh at it otherwise you go crazy. You know,
• 39:51
  Speaker 3: this is tragic comedy we're living through and this is
• 39:57
  Speaker 3: we are. We have a bunch of buffoons for for
• 40:00
  Speaker 3: for For the US leadership, I mean, you're wrong, is absolutely correct.
• 40:05
  Speaker 3: They're fighting the Epstein regime. They're fighting Epstein regime. I'll
• 40:09
  Speaker 3: be for half of the rest of the world. M h.
• 40:12
  Speaker 1: And I want you to listen to this because after
• 40:15
  Speaker 1: I play this clip, that's a short clip, I'm gonna
• 40:18
  Speaker 1: I was gonna pull it up. I have it in
• 40:20
  Speaker 1: my on my computer, but I don't want it to
• 40:22
  Speaker 1: buffer a little bit, so I'm gonna play it off
• 40:24
  Speaker 1: my phone, and I want you to listen to the
• 40:28
  Speaker 1: arrogance and the sheer stupidity that's coming out of peaks Peak.
• 40:33
  Speaker 1: I'm gonna say it like he said, pig hexif p
• 40:37
  Speaker 1: I g aisif.
• 40:38
  Speaker 2: I'm gonna I want you to listen to the arrogance
• 40:41
  Speaker 2: of this.
• 40:41
  Speaker 1: This shows you how detached from reality that the leadership
• 40:46
  Speaker 1: is in the Western world, how they can always project
• 40:50
  Speaker 1: onto others what they're doing.
• 40:52
  Speaker 2: So I want to play this real quick and matter
• 40:54
  Speaker 2: of fact.
• 40:54
  Speaker 1: Let me take my headphones out of the computer, so
• 40:57
  Speaker 1: and called if you can hear it, just let me.
• 41:02
  Speaker 3: To that point on capabilities.
• 41:04
  Speaker 4: You know, Iran's an energy rich country, could be should be. Instead,
• 41:08
  Speaker 4: like so many other places driven by radical ideology, they've
• 41:11
  Speaker 4: spent that money instead of investing in their people. And
• 41:14
  Speaker 4: that's why you had millions of Iranians protesting because they
• 41:18
  Speaker 4: felt like their condition, quality of life didn't match what
• 41:20
  Speaker 4: it could be or should be, and what was the
• 41:22
  Speaker 4: Iranian state. There's a reason we come call Iran the
• 41:24
  Speaker 4: number one state sponsor of terrorism because they took the
• 41:28
  Speaker 4: money they make and they invested in tunnels, and they
• 41:31
  Speaker 4: invested in missiles, and they invested in launchers and UAVs,
• 41:34
  Speaker 4: and we are destroying and degrading that, degrading that in
• 41:37
  Speaker 4: historic proportions, but it doesn't mean they won't still have
• 41:39
  Speaker 4: some and try to hold people at issue, which is
• 41:41
  Speaker 4: why we're fighting every single day to continue to compel.
• 41:45
  Speaker 3: And you mentioned embassies and consulates.
• 41:47
  Speaker 2: Unlike previous administrations, we.
• 41:50
  Speaker 4: Are doubling and tripling down on ensuring that our people,
• 41:53
  Speaker 4: regardless of their Department of War, Department of State, whatever
• 41:56
  Speaker 4: they do, are secure in those facilities. And the best
• 41:59
  Speaker 4: defenses is a good offense, and so we're not we're not.
• 42:02
  Speaker 3: Afraid to go after and kill anybody.
• 42:05
  Speaker 4: And we have a lot of them attempting to targ
• 42:09
  Speaker 4: at our diplomatic facilities around. You know, we're not we're
• 42:12
  Speaker 4: not surprised that they would even discriminately target and we're
• 42:15
  Speaker 4: still seeing that.
• 42:17
  Speaker 2: So so carl I just let me put my headphone
• 42:22
  Speaker 2: back in.
• 42:23
  Speaker 1: So now he was bashing Iran for spending Iran, I
• 42:28
  Speaker 1: think it runs defense budget is under ten billion dollars,
• 42:31
  Speaker 1: and here it is the United States is one point
• 42:34
  Speaker 1: some trillion.
• 42:35
  Speaker 2: But one of the gun former hiss.
• 42:39
  Speaker 1: Who dealt with the budget, I forget his name, he
• 42:42
  Speaker 1: said that whatever the United States tells you that the
• 42:45
  Speaker 1: defense budget is.
• 42:47
  Speaker 2: Multiplied by three to five times.
• 42:50
  Speaker 1: So Mike Maloof, that's what his name is, Mike Mike Maloof,
• 42:54
  Speaker 1: and he does a lot of commentarial on RT.
• 42:57
  Speaker 2: So he says that.
• 42:58
  Speaker 1: So now as he talks about Iran spending money on defense,
• 43:03
  Speaker 1: and I think Iran's budget is under ten billion dollars,
• 43:06
  Speaker 1: we have an article that came out that says that
• 43:09
  Speaker 1: Pentagon's budget is requesting two hundred billion more dollars for
• 43:16
  Speaker 1: the war against Iran.
• 43:17
  Speaker 2: So hold on, just before you come in.
• 43:20
  Speaker 1: So we're sending more weapons more warplanes, more everything, more troops,
• 43:25
  Speaker 1: and we need more money for a war that we're
• 43:28
  Speaker 1: supposedly winning easily. And we have destroyed of the Iranian Navy,
• 43:36
  Speaker 1: of the Iranian Air Force, we destroyed ninety percent of
• 43:40
  Speaker 1: the IRGC, and we have control over the skies. Yet
• 43:43
  Speaker 1: we're spending more money. And what world does that make sense?
• 43:50
  Speaker 3: I mean, every day he's coming saying we destroyed another
• 43:53
  Speaker 3: ninety percent of Iranian capability. I mean, the the thing is,
• 44:00
  Speaker 3: if you look, actually look at the military budget, you wrong,
• 44:04
  Speaker 3: US spent far more than what Iran spends on defense,
• 44:09
  Speaker 3: and yet Iran is putting up a very good fight
• 44:13
  Speaker 3: against United States. It turns out all this money that
• 44:17
  Speaker 3: went into Pentagon, it wasn't the All that money wasn't
• 44:21
  Speaker 3: spent to win any actual war is win is went
• 44:26
  Speaker 3: into to pack the pockets all the fat cats of
• 44:31
  Speaker 3: the Pentagon contractor and kickback to all the Pentagon pop brass.
• 44:36
  Speaker 3: I mean, it's a system designed for grift, and it
• 44:39
  Speaker 3: works very well. That's what it designed for. It's not
• 44:42
  Speaker 3: designed for winning awards, and we're seeing seeing the result
• 44:45
  Speaker 3: of that. And and again you know they're blaming yourang
• 44:49
  Speaker 3: for actually bother to defend themselves. You know, of course
• 44:53
  Speaker 3: it's Uran's fault to put their country so close to
• 44:56
  Speaker 3: all the US bass and then it's Uruan's fault to
• 44:59
  Speaker 3: their defend themselves against unprovoked US attacks. You know, we
• 45:05
  Speaker 3: live in nineteen eighty four, right but war is peace
• 45:08
  Speaker 3: and they you know, they give a Nobel Peace Prize
• 45:11
  Speaker 3: to this, to Machado who calls for military intervention in Venezuela.
• 45:17
  Speaker 3: You know, we are living a bizarre world of nineteen
• 45:20
  Speaker 3: eighty four right now, and war is peace and these
• 45:24
  Speaker 3: guys just to justify themselves, they just repeat lives after lives.
• 45:29
  Speaker 3: But the rest of the world they I mean this,
• 45:33
  Speaker 3: there's a decide opinion shift. There's recent survey that comes
• 45:38
  Speaker 3: out that there's a seventy to two percent drop in
• 45:43
  Speaker 3: the perception of the United States around the rest of
• 45:47
  Speaker 3: the world, and even the US in the US ally
• 45:50
  Speaker 3: countries I'm talking about France, Germany, you even UK. And
• 45:56
  Speaker 3: when people were asked, you know, whether you know China
• 46:02
  Speaker 3: or United States will be better? Is better for this world,
• 46:07
  Speaker 3: and more people chose China. U s allies, you know,
• 46:11
  Speaker 3: and and because you can't, you can't keep on doing
• 46:15
  Speaker 3: this and and and and and I hope people don't
• 46:18
  Speaker 3: know this. I mean, you can fool some people some
• 46:21
  Speaker 3: of the time, you can't fool all the people all
• 46:23
  Speaker 3: the time.
• 46:24
  Speaker 2: Uh.
• 46:26
  Speaker 3: We are the longer the drag. You know, they're going
• 46:29
  Speaker 3: to try to shift the blame. Trump already started. He
• 46:34
  Speaker 3: already blamed his son in law, Jerry Kushner. He said,
• 46:37
  Speaker 3: Kushner told me this is gonna be an easy job,
• 46:40
  Speaker 3: right And he may very well said that, but you
• 46:43
  Speaker 3: are the dumb ass who believed it. Uh, you know,
• 46:47
  Speaker 3: because we have such a low intelligence, low uh information
• 46:52
  Speaker 3: leadership that it can be so easily manipulated into a
• 46:59
  Speaker 3: a a world war. And uh so I have to
• 47:08
  Speaker 3: tell my son not to make too much noise in
• 47:10
  Speaker 3: the background. So yeah, so we we are living through
• 47:16
  Speaker 3: a historical moment right now. And and I think people
• 47:20
  Speaker 3: don't realize the world is not the same after the
• 47:24
  Speaker 3: US is really attacked on. You wrong, This whole straight
• 47:28
  Speaker 3: oh hormost issue is not likely to be resolved anytime soon,
• 47:32
  Speaker 3: and even when eventually does open up, the worlds will
• 47:37
  Speaker 3: look fundamentally different. First of all, you know, people are
• 47:40
  Speaker 3: going to start to think about energy self reliance. Uh,
• 47:45
  Speaker 3: you know, this is this is this is something China
• 47:47
  Speaker 3: has been pushing for. This is why China has been
• 47:50
  Speaker 3: building out its electrification of the country. They electrified the
• 47:54
  Speaker 3: real railway and they did a massive push for the
• 47:58
  Speaker 3: IV transition, so they're less reliant on hydrocarbon ful fuel
• 48:05
  Speaker 3: and for for electricity, they're they're doing a massive role
• 48:08
  Speaker 3: out of solar, wind and nuclear power. So they China
• 48:13
  Speaker 3: is now like nine eighty four percent energy self inner
• 48:16
  Speaker 3: self energy self sufficient. I'm so happy I bought a
• 48:20
  Speaker 3: Chinese ev last year, so now not to worry about
• 48:25
  Speaker 3: the oil uh price spike at the moment. Uh. And
• 48:29
  Speaker 3: I'm also going to put solar panels on my roof,
• 48:32
  Speaker 3: so I will be you know, yeah, so I will
• 48:34
  Speaker 3: be I will be somewhat insulated from this energy crisis.
• 48:39
  Speaker 3: But this is gonna this is gonna happen all across
• 48:42
  Speaker 3: the world. Uh. People are gonna have to think about
• 48:46
  Speaker 3: how to prepare for the war scenario. You know. One
• 48:50
  Speaker 3: of the problem is this US leadership was so arrogant.
• 48:54
  Speaker 3: They went into the war with minimum planning. I mean,
• 48:58
  Speaker 3: even if they want even let's say their goal is
• 49:01
  Speaker 3: to for the aggrandizement of the US empire, well, you
• 49:06
  Speaker 3: can do it smartly. But thankfully they're been stupid because
• 49:11
  Speaker 3: they the US oil strategic oil reserve have been drawing
• 49:15
  Speaker 3: down since the Joe Biden years because they wanted to
• 49:18
  Speaker 3: calm the inflation, and and and win more votes. But Trump,
• 49:23
  Speaker 3: he knew he was going to the war. He didn't
• 49:25
  Speaker 3: even bother try to fill up the strategic oil reserve
• 49:28
  Speaker 3: like China had down for the past four years. And
• 49:32
  Speaker 3: uh yeah, and and and and and here we are
• 49:35
  Speaker 3: we are. There's very little plan about what would happen
• 49:39
  Speaker 3: if you run does close the straight horn moves, which
• 49:42
  Speaker 3: he runs said time after time they would do if
• 49:47
  Speaker 3: you like, the United States attacked them. Uh and yeah.
• 49:50
  Speaker 3: So so now now now this is gonna be a bad,
• 49:54
  Speaker 3: bad year man for the whole world, for the whole
• 49:56
  Speaker 3: world economy. And and and Trump and peachheads have they
• 50:00
  Speaker 3: have to continually spin up more lies to cover their
• 50:05
  Speaker 3: own assets. But you know, people, more and more people
• 50:08
  Speaker 3: are seeing through that.
• 50:09
  Speaker 2: Right now, I remember what it was. Someone asked the question.
• 50:14
  Speaker 1: All it takes is for a little time, and it'll
• 50:17
  Speaker 1: come right back to me. Someone was asking about a
• 50:20
  Speaker 1: currency swapp agreement. And so when they asked me that
• 50:25
  Speaker 1: I went to something on Google and I put in
• 50:29
  Speaker 1: it Run China currency swap deal, and the AI overview
• 50:33
  Speaker 1: says this for the for the person who put it in,
• 50:35
  Speaker 1: I can't remember who it was, but this is this is.
• 50:38
  Speaker 2: The answer your question.
• 50:40
  Speaker 1: It Ran and China are implementing a twenty five year,
• 50:44
  Speaker 1: four hundred billion dollar strategic partnership that involves using local currencies,
• 50:51
  Speaker 1: both the Yuwan and real for all transactions to bypass
• 50:56
  Speaker 1: US sanctions and reduce dependence on the dollar. So that's
• 51:00
  Speaker 1: your answer right there. You can just put it those
• 51:02
  Speaker 1: words in that I put it in, and you can
• 51:04
  Speaker 1: get your answer right there. So yes, But but but
• 51:08
  Speaker 1: what we're watching, Carl, it's desperation more than anything else,
• 51:18
  Speaker 1: because you have to understand the times can empire. Time
• 51:21
  Speaker 1: is no longer on the side of the Western world.
• 51:26
  Speaker 1: And when I use an analogy often about a boxer
• 51:31
  Speaker 1: that has been the champion so long and when they
• 51:34
  Speaker 1: see an up and coming, more youthful opponent that is stronger,
• 51:38
  Speaker 1: can take more punches, that's faster, that has better footwork,
• 51:41
  Speaker 1: that can move quicker, that has more endurance, it frightens
• 51:45
  Speaker 1: them and so they try to put up every obstacle
• 51:51
  Speaker 1: before that person has to finally meet them to take
• 51:54
  Speaker 1: that position. And I believe this is what is going on.
• 51:57
  Speaker 1: America did not just attack uh China outright. She went
• 52:02
  Speaker 1: around trying to weaken China's resolve and in partnerships with
• 52:07
  Speaker 1: other nations, the same as what she did with Russia
• 52:10
  Speaker 1: after the breakup of the Soviet Union and how she
• 52:12
  Speaker 1: gobbled up Soviet former Soviet nations. And then after she
• 52:17
  Speaker 1: gobbled those up, she what she did, she started lighting
• 52:19
  Speaker 1: geopolitical and political fires and nations surrounding Russia so as
• 52:26
  Speaker 1: to uh have Russia preoccupied with that stuff and and
• 52:30
  Speaker 1: wasting manpower and and and and money on on trying
• 52:35
  Speaker 1: to put out those fires. And I think she think
• 52:38
  Speaker 1: she thought that I can go after China now because
• 52:42
  Speaker 1: we've just inserted troops into Nigeria, where China gets.
• 52:46
  Speaker 2: A little oil from.
• 52:47
  Speaker 1: We just deposed Venezuelan President Maduro, where where China had
• 52:54
  Speaker 1: investments in. And now if we get it wrong, which
• 52:57
  Speaker 1: is the with the which is the prize of all prizes,
• 53:01
  Speaker 1: we now cement ourselves in West Asia and we have
• 53:05
  Speaker 1: China and Russia completely surrounded. We're in there underbelly. We
• 53:10
  Speaker 1: can stop the North South Corridor, we can stop the
• 53:13
  Speaker 1: Beldian Road initiative, we can we can control China's rise,
• 53:18
  Speaker 1: and then we can prevent Russia's re emergence as a superpower.
• 53:22
  Speaker 1: All of that, if we could just take out Iran,
• 53:25
  Speaker 1: what do you say about that?
• 53:31
  Speaker 3: I you know, I sometimes I wonder, you know, whether
• 53:36
  Speaker 3: US do have like a grand strategy, master plan plan
• 53:41
  Speaker 3: or this is just you know, us stumbling all the
• 53:46
  Speaker 3: all the way. But in either case, even if they
• 53:48
  Speaker 3: had a grand master plan, the execution is horrible, you know,
• 53:53
  Speaker 3: Like what are right they Island Green Span his memoir,
• 54:00
  Speaker 3: he said, Oh, we went into Iraq war to control
• 54:03
  Speaker 3: the flow of oil. Well they have. They're still doing it.
• 54:07
  Speaker 3: I mean, this is what they're still trying to do.
• 54:09
  Speaker 3: But it shows it's not the United States controlling the
• 54:14
  Speaker 3: oil anymore, you know that, Like like, uh, I'm gonna
• 54:17
  Speaker 3: quote that that that quot fund doom. The people who
• 54:21
  Speaker 3: can destroy a thing controls it. Youran controls the straight
• 54:26
  Speaker 3: or hor moose. Youran controls the oil flow to the world,
• 54:31
  Speaker 3: not the US Navy. Very expensively sustained military arms of
• 54:36
  Speaker 3: the United States, uh and and and and in US
• 54:39
  Speaker 3: really show how weak it is by uh, you know,
• 54:44
  Speaker 3: you know, before every operation, even before this current operation,
• 54:49
  Speaker 3: you have all these spots on social media posting US
• 54:52
  Speaker 3: military propaganda and saying ridiculous thing like, oh now they're
• 54:56
  Speaker 3: gonna Uran is gonna find out why we don't have healthcare?
• 55:00
  Speaker 3: Like why would you even be priceful of that? Why
• 55:03
  Speaker 3: would you even be proud of that? But on top
• 55:06
  Speaker 3: of that, you don't have health care because all the
• 55:10
  Speaker 3: money went into shitty military hardware which doesn't even work.
• 55:15
  Speaker 3: That's why you don't have healthcare. The amount of money
• 55:19
  Speaker 3: the US has spent so far, this was from a
• 55:23
  Speaker 3: couple two days ago. By the way, the amount of
• 55:26
  Speaker 3: money US spend is so far is twenty one billion
• 55:30
  Speaker 3: dollars with a B. With that amount of money, China
• 55:35
  Speaker 3: build one thousand kilometers of high speed railway. You know,
• 55:39
  Speaker 3: just imagine all them. What all this money could do
• 55:42
  Speaker 3: if it was actually plowed back into domestic economy to
• 55:47
  Speaker 3: actually build up infrastructure, to or investment into education. But
• 55:52
  Speaker 3: that's not what the US elite is interested in. They
• 55:55
  Speaker 3: don't care about building a greater America. They don't care
• 56:00
  Speaker 3: about making America great again. That's just a slogan they
• 56:03
  Speaker 3: care about lining in their own pockets. They want to
• 56:07
  Speaker 3: preserve their own top spot in the in the social ladder.
• 56:13
  Speaker 3: They that's all things they care about. They care about
• 56:16
  Speaker 3: preserving the US primacy. Why do they care about us?
• 56:20
  Speaker 3: Preserve US primacy? Because they have set up set themselves
• 56:23
  Speaker 3: up at the top of the food chain in the
• 56:26
  Speaker 3: US Empire. That's what they care about. They don't care
• 56:29
  Speaker 3: about you know, average show from Joe Sixpac from Michigan.
• 56:33
  Speaker 3: They don't care about that, do you for for the
• 56:35
  Speaker 3: for them, the rest of us are just pans for
• 56:38
  Speaker 3: them to extract rent. You right to use justifications like
• 56:42
  Speaker 3: like war spending, to to to take more money from
• 56:46
  Speaker 3: the rest of the population, and and and and put
• 56:50
  Speaker 3: into their own pockets. This has been This has been
• 56:52
  Speaker 3: the case. Uh. This is why they locked up Juliansan
• 56:56
  Speaker 3: because Julian Song said, the goal is not to win
• 57:00
  Speaker 3: the Afghanistan war. The goal is to wash money from
• 57:03
  Speaker 3: the vast tax basis of North America and in Europe
• 57:07
  Speaker 3: into the pockets of a small transnational security and that
• 57:14
  Speaker 3: the problem with that is Okay, they can keep the
• 57:19
  Speaker 3: grift going as long as they don't blunder into a
• 57:24
  Speaker 3: big catastrophe that's like like the one that's unfolding right
• 57:29
  Speaker 3: now at the Straight of hor Moves Right now, they
• 57:31
  Speaker 3: are seriously screwing up the whole world economy. And you
• 57:37
  Speaker 3: know this, this, this is gonna be really really bad, folks.
• 57:42
  Speaker 3: Mm hmm.
• 57:43
  Speaker 1: Everybody, please hit the light bud and take the time
• 57:46
  Speaker 1: to subscribe. Also, don't forget I have to put this
• 57:50
  Speaker 1: announcement out. Join us tomorrow at seven pm Central time.
• 57:57
  Speaker 1: Brian Berlitic probably beyond on the show tomorrow if he
• 58:01
  Speaker 1: can make it. But I want to go back to
• 58:03
  Speaker 1: some call. You said something very very very important that
• 58:06
  Speaker 1: I believe went over a lot of people head at
• 58:08
  Speaker 1: the beginning of the show when you talked about China
• 58:14
  Speaker 1: putting bands on the export of a fertilizer. This is
• 58:18
  Speaker 1: in conjunction with remember Russia putting bands on the export
• 58:25
  Speaker 1: of fertilizer. And as you said, this is the planting season,
• 58:31
  Speaker 1: and now we see oil and gas prices through the roof.
• 58:35
  Speaker 1: How is that gonna affect forget this raight of her
• 58:39
  Speaker 1: moves for a minute, how is that gonna affect the
• 58:42
  Speaker 1: pockets of everybody and the stomachs of everybody in America?
• 58:46
  Speaker 2: And around the world.
• 58:48
  Speaker 3: The price is gonna go up. Man, The price has
• 58:50
  Speaker 3: already goun up, and it's gonna go up a lot more.
• 58:53
  Speaker 3: Because energy is a primary input to everything. You know,
• 58:59
  Speaker 3: like it's not yours, the gas that fill up your car,
• 59:02
  Speaker 3: it's also the fertilizers that used to grow your food.
• 59:07
  Speaker 3: Everything is energy dependent. And United States economies, actually, I
• 59:13
  Speaker 3: just saw an article in New York Times. United States
• 59:17
  Speaker 3: is actually forty percent more oil intensive economy than China.
• 59:23
  Speaker 3: It's more dependent on oil because because you know, the
• 59:27
  Speaker 3: big oil controls everything. They they are the big sponsors
• 59:31
  Speaker 3: of both parties, and they're those the big oil is
• 59:35
  Speaker 3: gonna make a lot of money with the oil price
• 59:38
  Speaker 3: going up. So if you do work for the oil majors, well,
• 59:41
  Speaker 3: well you want the lottery. But if you're if you don't,
• 59:44
  Speaker 3: you're screwed. You're screwed because the practice is gonna go up.
• 59:49
  Speaker 3: You're gonna have to pay for the big oil profit
• 59:53
  Speaker 3: for these oil majors. And but even for the big
• 59:57
  Speaker 3: oil companies, this is not ideal situation because they don't
• 1:00:01
  Speaker 3: like big price fluctuations. They don't like the huge spikes
• 1:00:05
  Speaker 3: and volatility because that affects their investment decision, because you know,
• 1:00:11
  Speaker 3: for a business to to make an investment decision, they
• 1:00:14
  Speaker 3: have to think long term, like if I put the
• 1:00:17
  Speaker 3: money up right now, will I be able to get
• 1:00:20
  Speaker 3: this money back in five ten years time? And when
• 1:00:24
  Speaker 3: what Trump does is he creates a whole bunch of uncertainty,
• 1:00:27
  Speaker 3: a lot of volatility. And this is this is why
• 1:00:31
  Speaker 3: a lot of the big business is very hesitating. Even
• 1:00:35
  Speaker 3: the big oil companies are very are hesitating in putting
• 1:00:38
  Speaker 3: up from investment right now. This is what they said
• 1:00:41
  Speaker 3: about Venezuela, by the way, This is they would rather
• 1:00:45
  Speaker 3: invest in Canada because of the political uncertainties that that's involved,
• 1:00:50
  Speaker 3: and because business loves stability, and Trump is creating instability
• 1:00:56
  Speaker 3: all around the world, first with a tear of war
• 1:00:59
  Speaker 3: and now with the with the whole energy crisis. I mean,
• 1:01:03
  Speaker 3: this is going to be really bad, folks. I already
• 1:01:05
  Speaker 3: said previously. Remember the US economy. If you're taking away
• 1:01:09
  Speaker 3: all the investment into the AI bubble, the US economy
• 1:01:13
  Speaker 3: is already would already be in recession. The AI bubble
• 1:01:19
  Speaker 3: is not sustainable anymore because AI is very energy intensive.
• 1:01:24
  Speaker 3: That energy is not forthcoming. Two, I already said even
• 1:01:29
  Speaker 3: the making of silicon semiconductor chips in Taiwan is depending
• 1:01:34
  Speaker 3: on energy from the Middle East. So this is going
• 1:01:36
  Speaker 3: to be bad all across the board. Everyone will feel
• 1:01:42
  Speaker 3: the pain. You know. Right now, there's still like a
• 1:01:46
  Speaker 3: time delay, uh, you know from what happens at the
• 1:01:49
  Speaker 3: golf to the supermarket. But when that that that that
• 1:01:55
  Speaker 3: time delay, when he hits, it's going to be a tsunami.
• 1:01:59
  Speaker 3: It's not gonna be like a small trickle. It's going
• 1:02:01
  Speaker 3: to be a flood. And and it's going to be
• 1:02:04
  Speaker 3: bad for every not just Americans. By the way, all
• 1:02:07
  Speaker 3: the consumers are around the world. Have some face. Uh
• 1:02:11
  Speaker 3: this this this very tough call at you know, when
• 1:02:14
  Speaker 3: they decide what to purchase in the coming years.
• 1:02:22
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I remember having h Gregory Manarino, an investor, on
• 1:02:26
  Speaker 1: the show.
• 1:02:26
  Speaker 2: As a matter of fact, he'll be on the show
• 1:02:28
  Speaker 2: and in about a week or two. But he said
• 1:02:31
  Speaker 2: that when when this thing goes up, and when the
• 1:02:35
  Speaker 2: bond market explodes due to war due to uh ineptitude
• 1:02:41
  Speaker 2: by investors or government officials, that this will be more
• 1:02:45
  Speaker 2: deadly than a nuclear exchange, because people will be hungry,
• 1:02:49
  Speaker 2: there will be the kids will be starving, there will
• 1:02:52
  Speaker 2: be UH shortages of.
• 1:02:54
  Speaker 1: Food and suff and we and we can see the
• 1:02:56
  Speaker 1: makings of that right now with the UH embargo China
• 1:03:00
  Speaker 1: and Russia's embargo on America and everybody about the fertilizer
• 1:03:06
  Speaker 1: and other things like that. But somebody, Flying Crocodile, one
• 1:03:09
  Speaker 1: of the Channel members and and uh UH moderators, has
• 1:03:16
  Speaker 1: a question for you, Carl, and Flying Crocodile all the
• 1:03:19
  Speaker 1: way from New Zealand says, can Carr come in on
• 1:03:22
  Speaker 1: India's action and sucking up to Israel and China's failure
• 1:03:26
  Speaker 1: to more aggressively condemn the US and Israel action and
• 1:03:30
  Speaker 1: move to deter them.
• 1:03:32
  Speaker 2: Will it? Will it collapse? Bricks? I think China has
• 1:03:35
  Speaker 2: been firmed.
• 1:03:35
  Speaker 1: I don't think Flying Crocodile saw the the UH interview
• 1:03:41
  Speaker 1: given by Victor Goo a few days ago, because they
• 1:03:44
  Speaker 1: were he was asked specifically about a threat of a
• 1:03:49
  Speaker 1: nuclear exchange uh UH, because a lot of people have
• 1:03:52
  Speaker 1: been talking about Israel may go nuclear or the United
• 1:03:55
  Speaker 1: States may go nuclear. And Victor Gal says that China
• 1:03:59
  Speaker 1: would not allow that that happened. So I think that
• 1:04:01
  Speaker 1: is as blended as you can be about that. So Carl,
• 1:04:05
  Speaker 1: what do you say about this.
• 1:04:08
  Speaker 3: Okay, a couple of things, firs. First, let's talk about India.
• 1:04:11
  Speaker 3: I mean, India has really play a very bad hand
• 1:04:14
  Speaker 3: in the recent diplomatic maneuvers. For the longest time, India
• 1:04:19
  Speaker 3: maintains a non alignment position in the world, which means
• 1:04:23
  Speaker 3: they don't want to be sucked into any alliances. They
• 1:04:26
  Speaker 3: will pursue their own independent foreign policy. This is why
• 1:04:29
  Speaker 3: they have managed to maintain a friendly tie with Iran, Russia,
• 1:04:34
  Speaker 3: and United States. But in the more recent years, the
• 1:04:37
  Speaker 3: Modi government in India they thought, okay, by sucking up
• 1:04:41
  Speaker 3: to the US, it will get more favorable treatment from
• 1:04:45
  Speaker 3: the US, maybe in terms of technological transfer, more industry
• 1:04:50
  Speaker 3: supply chain, maybe relocating out of China into India. And
• 1:04:55
  Speaker 3: they also understand correctly that Israel has a lot of
• 1:04:58
  Speaker 3: influence in the U as politics. This plays a huge
• 1:05:01
  Speaker 3: decision in their sucking up to Israel. Of course, you know,
• 1:05:05
  Speaker 3: ideologically they are also more aligned with the Zionist government
• 1:05:09
  Speaker 3: because the Modi government is very anti Muslim. You know,
• 1:05:12
  Speaker 3: you have to remember that they're very anti Muslim. So
• 1:05:15
  Speaker 3: this this dry this is another push for their their
• 1:05:19
  Speaker 3: their political alignment with Israel and the United States, and
• 1:05:23
  Speaker 3: this has not paid well for them. You know, first
• 1:05:26
  Speaker 3: they got hit with a high tariff by Pye Trump,
• 1:05:30
  Speaker 3: and then Trump forced them to give up the Russian oil,
• 1:05:34
  Speaker 3: which you know India very very much depends. And and
• 1:05:39
  Speaker 3: then he went to Israel to hop up with Natayah
• 1:05:44
  Speaker 3: just right before the Iran War. After the Iran War,
• 1:05:49
  Speaker 3: Modi was issuing statement of solidarity with all the golf countries,
• 1:05:55
  Speaker 3: you know, UAE, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, but said nothing
• 1:06:00
  Speaker 3: nothing about US Israel attack on Iran. And well, I mean,
• 1:06:05
  Speaker 3: for one thing, I understand why they have to say
• 1:06:08
  Speaker 3: they're in solidarity with the golf countries because you know,
• 1:06:11
  Speaker 3: mil like eight nine million Indian nationals worked in the
• 1:06:16
  Speaker 3: golf countries. They send a lot of remittance back home.
• 1:06:20
  Speaker 3: So Modi does not want to jeopardize that. I don't
• 1:06:22
  Speaker 3: understand that. But he could at least make a statement
• 1:06:26
  Speaker 3: condemning US and Israel killing of the Iranian top leadership.
• 1:06:31
  Speaker 3: Now they didn't do any of that. And then what
• 1:06:34
  Speaker 3: happened was I wrong? Announced? Well, straight of hor movies
• 1:06:37
  Speaker 3: is going to be close to anyone except Russian and Chinese.
• 1:06:42
  Speaker 3: And they didn't say anything about Indians. And that's when
• 1:06:45
  Speaker 3: the Indian leadership panic. They realized, oh crap, they're not
• 1:06:50
  Speaker 3: getting more oil from the golf. That's what they scramble.
• 1:06:54
  Speaker 3: They send a delegation to the Iranian embassy to offer condolences.
• 1:06:59
  Speaker 3: And then then oh and on top of that, India
• 1:07:03
  Speaker 3: was actually complying with the US sanction on Iranian oil
• 1:07:07
  Speaker 3: by seeing three Iranian oil tankers, you know. And so
• 1:07:12
  Speaker 3: finally they they went to Iran after a bunch of
• 1:07:16
  Speaker 3: diplomatic maneuvers, you Wran allowed some Indian tankers to go
• 1:07:22
  Speaker 3: through under the condition that India released those three Iranian
• 1:07:27
  Speaker 3: oil tankers that they had seized previously. So it's a
• 1:07:31
  Speaker 3: prisoner exchange program really, and they really knew their own
• 1:07:37
  Speaker 3: relationship with Iran, which previously they had, you know, they
• 1:07:40
  Speaker 3: had what they called strategic partnership, you know, the the
• 1:07:44
  Speaker 3: Uran and India was supposed to work together in the
• 1:07:46
  Speaker 3: Chabar Port harbor, which was supposed to be a rival
• 1:07:50
  Speaker 3: to the Chinese invested port in uh In Guadar in Pakistan,
• 1:07:56
  Speaker 3: and you just forget about that right now. And on
• 1:08:00
  Speaker 3: top of that, India was invited an Iranian frigate to
• 1:08:04
  Speaker 3: come to India for a naval fleet review, and that's
• 1:08:09
  Speaker 3: part of the protocol for the fleet review. It required
• 1:08:13
  Speaker 3: the ship comes unarmed, you know, without live ammunition. And
• 1:08:19
  Speaker 3: US was also at the same naval fleet review. And
• 1:08:23
  Speaker 3: after the naval review the work broke out. The US
• 1:08:27
  Speaker 3: and Israel attack Iran and as the uranium frigate was
• 1:08:31
  Speaker 3: leaving to head home, you got sunk off the water
• 1:08:36
  Speaker 3: of Surroundtlanka by by US subs. I mean this, and
• 1:08:40
  Speaker 3: you Indian government said nothing. They invited those Iranian ships
• 1:08:45
  Speaker 3: who came because to honor the invitation, and then the
• 1:08:51
  Speaker 3: Uranian ship gets taken out by US in a sneak attack,
• 1:08:55
  Speaker 3: and Indian government said nothing. I mean this is blackest betrayal.
• 1:09:01
  Speaker 3: So this is why they panic. After the Strait of
• 1:09:06
  Speaker 3: Hormusa was closed, they went back to Washington to beg
• 1:09:10
  Speaker 3: for permission to buy Russian oil again. This is this
• 1:09:15
  Speaker 3: has led to the US finally put a waiver on
• 1:09:19
  Speaker 3: sanction on Russian oil because you know, India, they're they're
• 1:09:23
  Speaker 3: not getting any oil from Middle East, They're not getting
• 1:09:26
  Speaker 3: oil from Russia. They will India is even more oil
• 1:09:30
  Speaker 3: dependent than the other some other countries and so before
• 1:09:36
  Speaker 3: the war India was buying Russian oil at fifty dollars
• 1:09:39
  Speaker 3: per barrel. They were getting a ten dollars discount per
• 1:09:43
  Speaker 3: barrel compared to the market price which was a sixty
• 1:09:46
  Speaker 3: dollars per barrel back back then. Now they have the
• 1:09:50
  Speaker 3: honor to buy Russian buy back Russian oil at over
• 1:09:55
  Speaker 3: one hundred dollars per baro at You know, there's the
• 1:09:59
  Speaker 3: Indian disco. It is gone for them. Now they have
• 1:10:02
  Speaker 3: to pay the market price. They have to pay the
• 1:10:04
  Speaker 3: premium for for the same Russian oil which they were
• 1:10:07
  Speaker 3: just purchasing at half the price a few months ago.
• 1:10:10
  Speaker 3: And this is all their own doing because they comply
• 1:10:13
  Speaker 3: with the US sanction. And guess what, India is a
• 1:10:18
  Speaker 3: regional power, It's inherent of an ancient civilization. Why does
• 1:10:23
  Speaker 3: it need permission from Washington to purchase Russian oil? This
• 1:10:27
  Speaker 3: is a humiliation after humiliation anyway. But this India brought
• 1:10:33
  Speaker 3: it to itself. This, This has been a disastrous Indian
• 1:10:36
  Speaker 3: foreign policy for the fast fast past few years.
• 1:10:40
  Speaker 2: Now.
• 1:10:41
  Speaker 3: Now I want to talk about this whole China thing.
• 1:10:45
  Speaker 3: When China, I want to I want to ask something
• 1:10:48
  Speaker 3: to you, go ahead.
• 1:10:51
  Speaker 2: I wanted to add something to what you said, then
• 1:10:53
  Speaker 2: you can finish up.
• 1:10:55
  Speaker 1: Isn't it ironic that after the ship was sunk by
• 1:10:59
  Speaker 1: the uh the nuclears, we the submarine and India said nothing.
• 1:11:04
  Speaker 1: Isn't it irunic that because India said nothing? Right after that,
• 1:11:09
  Speaker 1: the United States lived all restrictions on India to purchase
• 1:11:14
  Speaker 1: Russian oil.
• 1:11:17
  Speaker 2: Was that a quick corporal?
• 1:11:22
  Speaker 3: And and also India just before the war, they signed
• 1:11:25
  Speaker 3: an agreement to allow US military to to station to
• 1:11:32
  Speaker 3: have portal call in India. They allow US Navy to
• 1:11:35
  Speaker 3: dock on Indian ports. I mean and and this is
• 1:11:39
  Speaker 3: and and given what yeah, and given what happened, and
• 1:11:42
  Speaker 3: given what happened when US bases are being taken out
• 1:11:46
  Speaker 3: by Iran in West Asia and a lot of the U. S.
• 1:11:49
  Speaker 3: Navy assets are now hiding in the Indian Ocean. Uh,
• 1:11:54
  Speaker 3: you know, you bet they're used. They're using that agreement
• 1:11:57
  Speaker 3: that they are they're gonna and this is this is
• 1:12:00
  Speaker 3: basically an act aggression against you wrong. Uh yeah, they
• 1:12:04
  Speaker 3: they have They have really backstab you wrong in so
• 1:12:08
  Speaker 3: many ways. Uh, this is you know, this is gonna
• 1:12:12
  Speaker 3: have some they cast some erepairable damage. And again they
• 1:12:16
  Speaker 3: for what did they gain for it? The game to
• 1:12:19
  Speaker 3: buy Russian oil and double the price what they were
• 1:12:22
  Speaker 3: paying before. You know, they were paying fifty dollars per baro.
• 1:12:25
  Speaker 3: Now they're gonna pay one hundred dollars per barou. That
• 1:12:28
  Speaker 3: that price continue to go up, by the way, the longer,
• 1:12:31
  Speaker 3: the higher that price is gonna go. And this is
• 1:12:37
  Speaker 3: the real consequences of India's foreign policy. Uh, it's they
• 1:12:42
  Speaker 3: just play a really really horribly and and okay, let's
• 1:12:48
  Speaker 3: talk about you know, the questions about bricks, and also
• 1:12:52
  Speaker 3: lets let's talk about China's Recently, China, the Chinese Foreign
• 1:12:58
  Speaker 3: Ministry spokesperson was asked the question, was China providing material
• 1:13:04
  Speaker 3: help to arm you wrong against US and Israel in
• 1:13:09
  Speaker 3: this war? What the what's the Chinese prime men or
• 1:13:13
  Speaker 3: what's the Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson said, specifically, was we support,
• 1:13:20
  Speaker 3: we stand with you wrong on its defense of territory,
• 1:13:23
  Speaker 3: integrity of their their defense of their homeland. And so
• 1:13:29
  Speaker 3: so let me translate from English English in Chinese diplomatic speak.
• 1:13:35
  Speaker 3: So the yes, yes, China is providing help, yes, yes, yes, yes,
• 1:13:42
  Speaker 3: But this is the difference between China, how China conduct
• 1:13:46
  Speaker 3: diplomacy and people like Trump and Pete Hedgset. You know,
• 1:13:51
  Speaker 3: because Trump and Pete Headset, they're they're TV They're really
• 1:13:55
  Speaker 3: TV personality. They're they're TV show hosts. They their instinct
• 1:13:59
  Speaker 3: is to beat their chests in front of the camera
• 1:14:02
  Speaker 3: and say, oh, we're gonna do the terrible thing to us.
• 1:14:05
  Speaker 3: We will do this and this and this. China prefer
• 1:14:08
  Speaker 3: to speak softly, but to do everything behind the scenes.
• 1:14:13
  Speaker 3: You know, they're not gonna say, oh, we're gonna supply
• 1:14:16
  Speaker 3: We're gonna flood you Run with so many materials. They're
• 1:14:19
  Speaker 3: gonna they're gonna make missiles off the wazoos. So now
• 1:14:23
  Speaker 3: China will never say that, but China will say we
• 1:14:27
  Speaker 3: support Iran in their fight against their territory, you know,
• 1:14:31
  Speaker 3: to preserve their territory integrity, and they will continue to
• 1:14:34
  Speaker 3: ship the material run will need to make missiles and Jones.
• 1:14:38
  Speaker 3: I mean, that is how China conducts it. Diplomacy. And
• 1:14:42
  Speaker 3: another thing, uh right now, United States actually putting a
• 1:14:48
  Speaker 3: act hold an active oil embargo against Cuba, which caused
• 1:14:54
  Speaker 3: the Cuba's electric grid to fail a couple of days ago.
• 1:14:58
  Speaker 3: And what China and you and Russia are doing. Russia,
• 1:15:02
  Speaker 3: they have an oil tanker sitting off the Caribbeans ready
• 1:15:06
  Speaker 3: to ship to to uh Cuba. China has donated a
• 1:15:12
  Speaker 3: lot of solar panels that had really been able to
• 1:15:18
  Speaker 3: provide an emergency stop gap to provide power to the
• 1:15:22
  Speaker 3: to the Cuban people. So right now the Cuban electricity
• 1:15:26
  Speaker 3: grid is back on because they're doing a lot of
• 1:15:29
  Speaker 3: the emergency install of the solar panels that got shipped
• 1:15:33
  Speaker 3: from China. Right now. China is also shipped tons of
• 1:15:37
  Speaker 3: rice to Cuba, a month supply of rice to Cuba.
• 1:15:42
  Speaker 3: So so while US is trying to starve out Cuba,
• 1:15:45
  Speaker 3: China and Russia are helping. So I think you know,
• 1:15:48
  Speaker 3: the bricks is fine, bricks is well, the eye in
• 1:15:54
  Speaker 3: the bricks is getting wobbly, you know, is the weakest
• 1:15:59
  Speaker 3: link in the breaks anyway. But you know that that
• 1:16:02
  Speaker 3: I can be replaced with either Irang or right, I
• 1:16:07
  Speaker 3: mean like like but uh, but you know, China and
• 1:16:11
  Speaker 3: Russia they're doing their parts. They're doing their parts. They're
• 1:16:14
  Speaker 3: just not like piece Headsetef and the and the Trump
• 1:16:17
  Speaker 3: they're beating their chest and you know, openly threatening people
• 1:16:22
  Speaker 3: of so so but they are helping.
• 1:16:25
  Speaker 1: Yes, So what do you think do you think Russia
• 1:16:31
  Speaker 1: now becomes more suspicious of India because.
• 1:16:34
  Speaker 2: Of these moves.
• 1:16:35
  Speaker 1: And do you think now Aabahar will be offered to
• 1:16:41
  Speaker 1: the Chinese.
• 1:16:43
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I don't think that Chabahar will ever get off
• 1:16:48
  Speaker 3: the ground, you know, given that India had all these
• 1:16:53
  Speaker 3: all these years to commit the investment to actually build it.
• 1:16:57
  Speaker 3: I mean like it's like it's like look at the
• 1:17:01
  Speaker 3: India's indigenous uh uh fifth generation fighter program, right, I
• 1:17:07
  Speaker 3: mean like it's gonna they have been talking about it
• 1:17:11
  Speaker 3: for years, for twenty years, and then nothing gets done,
• 1:17:13
  Speaker 3: and then and think that's gonna be unfortunately what happened
• 1:17:17
  Speaker 3: to the Child Heart Poor project. You know, India will
• 1:17:19
  Speaker 3: try to keep talking about it to keep alive until
• 1:17:23
  Speaker 3: Irani and finally gets sick and tired of them, and
• 1:17:25
  Speaker 3: then then then then then they'll offer it to the
• 1:17:28
  Speaker 3: Chinese at some point. I don't know what it's gonna happen,
• 1:17:31
  Speaker 3: but but this is not gonna uh. The chabahart project
• 1:17:34
  Speaker 3: is not gonnet kicked off by India anytime soon, especially
• 1:17:38
  Speaker 3: given the present circumstances. And and the problem is India
• 1:17:44
  Speaker 3: they have a political culture that's very similar for the
• 1:17:47
  Speaker 3: United States. You know, their leaders like make big boasts.
• 1:17:51
  Speaker 3: They also like very make very big claims. You know,
• 1:17:55
  Speaker 3: India superpower twenty twenty, Well now is India superpower twenty
• 1:17:59
  Speaker 3: thirty anyway? So I yeah, I don't think nothing. I
• 1:18:03
  Speaker 3: don't I don't expect anything to come out of the
• 1:18:05
  Speaker 3: trabal Heart project anytime soon.
• 1:18:08
  Speaker 1: Uh.
• 1:18:08
  Speaker 3: As for Russia, I think Russia, they they're fine with
• 1:18:12
  Speaker 3: the way it is because now they get to sell
• 1:18:14
  Speaker 3: their oil at a premium to to India. You know,
• 1:18:17
  Speaker 3: they US war on Iran has single handedly saved the
• 1:18:23
  Speaker 3: Russian government budget. I mean they they just went from
• 1:18:27
  Speaker 3: a bad budget shortfalls suddenly to a budget surplus in
• 1:18:31
  Speaker 3: the matter of month. So so so Russian is setting pretty.
• 1:18:34
  Speaker 3: They are they're happy to sell to continue to sell
• 1:18:38
  Speaker 3: oil to India at market price. Now you know, before
• 1:18:42
  Speaker 3: you know, India get a friendship discount, but now now
• 1:18:45
  Speaker 3: now they get a buy at the market price. So
• 1:18:47
  Speaker 3: so Russia is happy with that arrangement, and India is
• 1:18:51
  Speaker 3: the one that's going to be continue to pay the price.
• 1:18:54
  Speaker 3: Uh pay the price for I mean it's really it's
• 1:18:58
  Speaker 3: ordinary Indians paying the price for the foolishness of their leadership.
• 1:19:02
  Speaker 3: They're very incompetent leadership. Modi gives Trump a round for
• 1:19:08
  Speaker 3: his mind and the economics mismanagement.
• 1:19:13
  Speaker 1: But yeah, what Carled do you think now looking at
• 1:19:17
  Speaker 1: everything retrospectively because of the Ukrainian War and because of
• 1:19:23
  Speaker 1: UH the.
• 1:19:24
  Speaker 2: War on Iran?
• 1:19:26
  Speaker 1: I remember when Russia and India were iron clad allies.
• 1:19:30
  Speaker 1: But India's betrayal on multiple occasions, especially when it stopped
• 1:19:36
  Speaker 1: buying Russian all the way, it was exposed India to
• 1:19:41
  Speaker 1: Russia and now and China has been a bullwark to
• 1:19:45
  Speaker 1: help keep the West from suffocating Russia's economy. Do you
• 1:19:50
  Speaker 1: think that the Russians are now skeptical of that so
• 1:19:55
  Speaker 1: called iron class friendship with iron class friendship with Modi
• 1:19:59
  Speaker 1: and in in India and or positioning themselves to a
• 1:20:04
  Speaker 1: more reliable friendship with the Chinese.
• 1:20:09
  Speaker 3: Well, I mean, the Russian uh Chinese relationship was never
• 1:20:13
  Speaker 3: in jeopardy, you know, they the Washington has been talking
• 1:20:16
  Speaker 3: about reverse kissingering, you know, pulling Russia on our side
• 1:20:20
  Speaker 3: against China. That was never going to happen. That was
• 1:20:22
  Speaker 3: a lot of wish for thinking. And as for India
• 1:20:26
  Speaker 3: and Russia relationship or that that that that relationship goes deeper.
• 1:20:29
  Speaker 3: It really goes back to the traditional relationship between Soviet
• 1:20:33
  Speaker 3: Union and India, and and and and so so. So
• 1:20:37
  Speaker 3: Russia has long been a very India file country. You know,
• 1:20:42
  Speaker 3: they have a like fund memories of India. So I
• 1:20:46
  Speaker 3: think that likely will continue. I mean, the the you know,
• 1:20:51
  Speaker 3: and again you know, in the end, the deal work
• 1:20:55
  Speaker 3: out for Russians. They're they're now they're now they're now
• 1:20:58
  Speaker 3: selling oil at twice surprise to to to the Indians.
• 1:21:02
  Speaker 3: So for in that regard, I mean India will continue
• 1:21:05
  Speaker 3: to be a large market for Russia in terms of
• 1:21:08
  Speaker 3: energy and also in terms of weapons system because India
• 1:21:12
  Speaker 3: they just couldn't get their domestic defense industry in order,
• 1:21:17
  Speaker 3: so they continuously depend on foreign pro current pre procurment
• 1:21:22
  Speaker 3: for a lot of their defense needs. You know, they
• 1:21:24
  Speaker 3: have been buying all over the place. Recently, they're they're
• 1:21:27
  Speaker 3: leaning towards the Europeans and the Americans, but uh, you know,
• 1:21:31
  Speaker 3: they'll be back, they will be back buying more hardware
• 1:21:35
  Speaker 3: from Russia. So so I think Russia will be happily
• 1:21:38
  Speaker 3: supply India with weapons, with with with energy needs and uh,
• 1:21:44
  Speaker 3: but you will be more transactional, transactional friendship, you know,
• 1:21:51
  Speaker 3: like a commercial interest. So I mean Russia has done
• 1:21:58
  Speaker 3: try for the longest. Before the bricks was a rick
• 1:22:01
  Speaker 3: was Russia India China was by the Putin's predecessors, the
• 1:22:06
  Speaker 3: Russian Prime Minister Primakov. He tried to stitch that together,
• 1:22:10
  Speaker 3: but that didn't really pan out because again because the
• 1:22:13
  Speaker 3: hostility India had toured China. India was okay to work
• 1:22:18
  Speaker 3: with Russia, but they didn't like China. But on this front,
• 1:22:22
  Speaker 3: even India has changed their stands. They have recently left
• 1:22:26
  Speaker 3: the ban on in Chinese investment because they realized they
• 1:22:30
  Speaker 3: needed and they actually went to China to ask for
• 1:22:34
  Speaker 3: shipment of urea, which again is a type of fertilizer,
• 1:22:39
  Speaker 3: because they are desperate and they're desperate. Yes, they asked
• 1:22:44
  Speaker 3: China to lift their band on rare earth and urea
• 1:22:49
  Speaker 3: and they and and you and you return. They started
• 1:22:52
  Speaker 3: to relax some of the restrictions on Chinese investment into
• 1:22:56
  Speaker 3: India because they finally realized, you know, the Americans are
• 1:23:01
  Speaker 3: not coming through with their promises that they're gonna have
• 1:23:05
  Speaker 3: to they have to gonna chick to moderate their hostile
• 1:23:11
  Speaker 3: tour China somewhat. So I think I think over long term,
• 1:23:16
  Speaker 3: China and Russia will they hold the cards so they
• 1:23:19
  Speaker 3: will be sitting pretty You know, it's a India Indian
• 1:23:24
  Speaker 3: government that have to make the change. You know, they
• 1:23:27
  Speaker 3: have to recalibrate and rethink their own alignment. Uh in
• 1:23:33
  Speaker 3: this in this fast changing world.
• 1:23:35
  Speaker 1: You're talking about your given You're give me proven the call?
• 1:23:39
  Speaker 1: Who was the prime minister? He was the one who
• 1:23:41
  Speaker 1: formed the ricks. But do you think that India has
• 1:23:51
  Speaker 1: taken note that the American leadership said that they will
• 1:23:54
  Speaker 1: not allow India to rise like they made the mistake
• 1:23:58
  Speaker 1: on China. And yet they're still couch going to the
• 1:24:01
  Speaker 1: very nations that that stating that they're going to sabotage
• 1:24:04
  Speaker 1: his ride.
• 1:24:06
  Speaker 3: And this man this I think he was like a
• 1:24:08
  Speaker 3: deputy secretary or something. He and this man he was
• 1:24:12
  Speaker 3: giving a lecture to an audience fall of Indians. We
• 1:24:20
  Speaker 3: will not allow you to ride the same way. You
• 1:24:24
  Speaker 3: know China has risen. I mean like this is I mean,
• 1:24:28
  Speaker 3: everybody who's observer US policy knew that was the truth
• 1:24:32
  Speaker 3: that John Meersheimer also said the same thing. He has
• 1:24:35
  Speaker 3: worn the Indian TV show hos Uh back back back
• 1:24:39
  Speaker 3: a few years ago said Yeah, United States will also
• 1:24:43
  Speaker 3: play UH balancing game against India if India becomes as powerful,
• 1:24:49
  Speaker 3: uh and prosperous as China is today. And now now
• 1:24:54
  Speaker 3: they heard it straight from the horse smile, you know,
• 1:24:56
  Speaker 3: a US government official is saying that, yes, that's confirmed,
• 1:25:01
  Speaker 3: that's a US official policy. They will not allow India
• 1:25:04
  Speaker 3: to rise. So I think Indian leadership have some very hard,
• 1:25:10
  Speaker 3: serious uh thinking to do. You know, some hearts are
• 1:25:14
  Speaker 3: so searching and they weren't gonna have to uh make
• 1:25:18
  Speaker 3: some decisions. They have to make some decisions on how
• 1:25:21
  Speaker 3: they want to redirect this giant ship that India is.
• 1:25:25
  Speaker 3: You know, it's the world's largest UH country in terms
• 1:25:29
  Speaker 3: of population. You know, I think they will have to
• 1:25:33
  Speaker 3: come to the realization that if they if they are
• 1:25:36
  Speaker 3: serious about developing their economy industrialized India, they're gonna need
• 1:25:43
  Speaker 3: China's help. They're gonna need Chinese investment, They're gonna need
• 1:25:46
  Speaker 3: Chinese technology. I mean, that's a that's a that's a
• 1:25:50
  Speaker 3: realization a lot of the global Salz country have already made.
• 1:25:55
  Speaker 3: You know, US is not in competition with China. It's
• 1:26:00
  Speaker 3: not in competition with China. The only use competition US
• 1:26:04
  Speaker 3: can talk about your security competition. US is not in
• 1:26:06
  Speaker 3: competition with China in terms of providing infrastructure and investment
• 1:26:11
  Speaker 3: in global South, not even closed. You know, China is
• 1:26:14
  Speaker 3: the largest provider of those things. And yeah, if India
• 1:26:19
  Speaker 3: want to want to really develop and take off, they're
• 1:26:24
  Speaker 3: going to have to find a way to work with China.
• 1:26:28
  Speaker 2: Now closing, Carl, We've talked about it wrong.
• 1:26:31
  Speaker 1: We've talked about Russia, We've talked about Ukraine a little bit.
• 1:26:36
  Speaker 2: Do you think that one of the reasons that India
• 1:26:40
  Speaker 2: is so.
• 1:26:42
  Speaker 1: I would say so hesitant on dealing with China on
• 1:26:47
  Speaker 1: an equal footing is because they don't want to finally.
• 1:26:53
  Speaker 2: Close out the border issue.
• 1:26:55
  Speaker 1: Because China has closed out the border issued every nation
• 1:27:00
  Speaker 1: around in it except for India. India refuses to negotiate
• 1:27:08
  Speaker 1: what would be acceptable terms and they have been using
• 1:27:12
  Speaker 1: the United States as accounter balance. Do you think that
• 1:27:15
  Speaker 1: is one of the main reasons why they have been
• 1:27:18
  Speaker 1: acting the way they have.
• 1:27:20
  Speaker 3: Well, for one thing, the Indian government had been telling
• 1:27:25
  Speaker 3: their own population for years, for decades, that China is
• 1:27:28
  Speaker 3: aggressor China is squatting our land. So now you say
• 1:27:33
  Speaker 3: suddenly say, oh, we actually those are Chinese land where
• 1:27:36
  Speaker 3: we join the border, it's going to be immensely politically unpopular.
• 1:27:41
  Speaker 3: So there's no political leader in India I think have
• 1:27:46
  Speaker 3: the kind of that kind of political will to settle
• 1:27:48
  Speaker 3: the border and on the other issues, there's an incentive
• 1:27:51
  Speaker 3: issue for the Indian military. The existence of border issue
• 1:27:58
  Speaker 3: is very convenient for them to continually depend on budget increase.
• 1:28:03
  Speaker 3: It's like we're fighting this big batch China. You know,
• 1:28:06
  Speaker 3: we need more investment in our border posts, we need
• 1:28:10
  Speaker 3: more investment in different equipments. We need to fight China.
• 1:28:14
  Speaker 3: So yeah, unfortunately, the border issue it's just just not
• 1:28:19
  Speaker 3: going to go away. And this is the biggest storm
• 1:28:22
  Speaker 3: on the side of Indian Chinese by lateral relation, I mean,
• 1:28:27
  Speaker 3: China has shown willingness to settle its border issue with
• 1:28:31
  Speaker 3: every other country because other countries are also willing to
• 1:28:36
  Speaker 3: settle their border issue. You know, they really hold out
• 1:28:39
  Speaker 3: is the Indian government because there's no political will to
• 1:28:44
  Speaker 3: to to to finally, you know, man up and say, okay,
• 1:28:47
  Speaker 3: you know, sorry, guys, we we actually had this silly
• 1:28:52
  Speaker 3: inherited this colonial legacy from the British that we are
• 1:28:56
  Speaker 3: going to finally said right, you know, cast us side
• 1:29:00
  Speaker 3: the history historical bird. No no, no. Instead, for the last
• 1:29:04
  Speaker 3: fifty sixty years, they have been telling the Indian population
• 1:29:07
  Speaker 3: China is squatting our land. We have to throw the
• 1:29:10
  Speaker 3: Chinese out. And you know, how do you make one
• 1:29:14
  Speaker 3: hundred and eighty term from that? You can't. And so
• 1:29:19
  Speaker 3: I'm not optimistic on settlement of the border issue anytime soon,
• 1:29:24
  Speaker 3: which means the Chinese Indian relationship is always going to
• 1:29:28
  Speaker 3: be testy, which is very unfortunate because really there's not
• 1:29:33
  Speaker 3: much real reason for these two countries to have a
• 1:29:37
  Speaker 3: hostile relationship. You know, high fence make good neighbors. They
• 1:29:42
  Speaker 3: have the highest fence the whole himlayan range in between them.
• 1:29:48
  Speaker 3: But they India decide to make an issue against some
• 1:29:52
  Speaker 3: rocks that they claim they're theirs.
• 1:29:54
  Speaker 2: I was listening before we clothed out. I was listening
• 1:29:57
  Speaker 2: to and I listened to this guy a lot.
• 1:29:58
  Speaker 1: He's a former high general in the Indian Armed Forces,
• 1:30:03
  Speaker 1: and he was talking about how India became almost panic
• 1:30:10
  Speaker 1: when the war with Pakistan broke out when they used
• 1:30:14
  Speaker 1: some of Chinese UH weapons and they were so advanced
• 1:30:18
  Speaker 1: that they nullified everything that the Indians did, and and
• 1:30:23
  Speaker 1: how they're trying to bury that story.
• 1:30:27
  Speaker 2: And he said, this comes to the real there.
• 1:30:30
  Speaker 1: They're starting to come to the relation that China is
• 1:30:33
  Speaker 1: decades head of not on India, but some aspects of
• 1:30:36
  Speaker 1: America and certain military technologies. And this may be the
• 1:30:41
  Speaker 1: level that will force the Indian establishment to finally come
• 1:30:46
  Speaker 1: to the table and instead of the board dispute, because
• 1:30:50
  Speaker 1: if they don't do it, if China really wants to,
• 1:30:53
  Speaker 1: they could just take it. But China want wants to
• 1:30:55
  Speaker 1: be fair and they want and they don't want to
• 1:30:59
  Speaker 1: dust up the border. They want to be neighbors with them.
• 1:31:03
  Speaker 1: So this was an Indian general actually saying this, What
• 1:31:07
  Speaker 1: do you say about that?
• 1:31:09
  Speaker 3: No, that's exactly right. I mean, China has no motive to,
• 1:31:14
  Speaker 3: you know, create the border tension with India. For for decades,
• 1:31:18
  Speaker 3: China is trying to improve its relationship with India, to
• 1:31:21
  Speaker 3: increase the bilateral trade relationship. And India is the site
• 1:31:26
  Speaker 3: that has been wary of getting closer to China because
• 1:31:29
  Speaker 3: they think it's going to be a Chinese takeover of
• 1:31:32
  Speaker 3: their economy. This is why they put there. India was
• 1:31:37
  Speaker 3: the first country to ban TikTok. By the way they
• 1:31:39
  Speaker 3: did it, before United States. They're the first one to
• 1:31:42
  Speaker 3: ban TikTok and they were banning Chinese investment into the
• 1:31:48
  Speaker 3: Indian startup scene. You know, the Indian startup, tech startup.
• 1:31:51
  Speaker 3: We're getting a lot of the capital from big Chinese
• 1:31:54
  Speaker 3: companies like Tencent, Baidu, by Dance, et cetera. But but
• 1:32:00
  Speaker 3: then the problem is that all these new China Indian
• 1:32:07
  Speaker 3: tech startup threatened the monopoly on the Indian economy by
• 1:32:12
  Speaker 3: the by the Abani and the Dani family. Those are
• 1:32:16
  Speaker 3: the backers, the financial backer of Modi and and so
• 1:32:21
  Speaker 3: these Indian oligarchs they don't want they want to maintain
• 1:32:24
  Speaker 3: their monopoly India so they can continue to click rent
• 1:32:28
  Speaker 3: from everyday Indians. And they have their men in the
• 1:32:33
  Speaker 3: government Modi that will do their bidding. This is why,
• 1:32:36
  Speaker 3: you know, there's some structural let's just say, there's some
• 1:32:40
  Speaker 3: structure structural problems between the India China relationship and those
• 1:32:45
  Speaker 3: structural problems mostly pre present in India and so so
• 1:32:49
  Speaker 3: I yeah, this is why I'm not overly optimistic.
• 1:32:55
  Speaker 2: M hmm.
• 1:32:56
  Speaker 1: Well, my god, thank you again called for joining me
• 1:32:59
  Speaker 1: on the platform. And I know you got father duty
• 1:33:03
  Speaker 1: right now. So I'm gonna let you go handle yours
• 1:33:05
  Speaker 1: and I'm gonna handle mine.
• 1:33:07
  Speaker 2: Be blessed, and I'll contact your lady.
• 1:33:09
  Speaker 3: Be safe, all right, Thank you, Rashid. All right, be blessing.
• 1:33:15
  Speaker 3: Bye bye
