So let me explain why I say yes and no.

When you have a complicated geopolitical system –

You can always look, you remember the old butterfly effect, right?

There's a butterfly, flaps its wings in the Amazon, and then how that reverberates into a cyclone somewhere else, right?

It's kind of bullshit though.

No, but I mean the principle of- Right, it's great if you don't understand how the weather works.

Fair enough.

But the idea that there are causal networks is such that in this complicated web of causal networks,

You can always find a particular entity that you can try to link back all of the causes to that entity.

So that's why I asked you to allocate the 100 points.

I'm going to answer off the top of my head, and it's completely speculative.

So the numbers I'm going to say are not.

Let's ascribe 10 out of the 100 points to whatever power the U.S.

wields in that region to have allowed that regime to come in.

But that regime carries the other 90 points of the 100 points.

because they are the ones who, for the next 47 years, implement the reality that the common Persian is going to experience.

Everything in the world can ultimately be linked back to oxygen, to the United States, to the military complex, to the Zionist lobby, because in some very facile way, all of those entities are connected in a meaningful way in this causal network.

But is using Occam's razor is does it really make sense to blame?

For example, people say ISIS is really due to whatever Israel.

I mean, in some facile way, you could draw the causal link of how there was a vacuum that was created by the U.S.
