There's warlords and there's shoguns in Japan and there's all these little entities.

In our lifetime, it's down to 190.

But is it really 190?

It's more like five.

Right.

NATO and China and the Soviet bloc when it existed and the oil producing countries.

In other words, it's getting to be whatever number you want to make it.

But eventually it'll be two fuckers sitting in a room and then they got to kill each other.

And then, you know, that is the decay of empire.

And we are you know, we have seven hundred and sixty military bases overseas.

China has one.

And I'm not saying China good, U.S.

bad.

China's got different methods for the shit they're doing.

But you asked me what's this war about.

And I think we should never talk now anymore about individual wars and their narratives because it's just a reality of human beings and human history that all wars are justified.

Every single war is justified.

It just depends which narrative you want to choose.

Ukraine has a perfectly good narrative.

Russia has a good narrative.
