You said the Israelis were bombing themselves?

of the masters of subterfuge, you know, the Israeli Mossad.

But when I look at the Balfour Declaration, the way Israel is set up after World War I and the betrayal of the Arabs, it seems like the liberal economic orders attempt at bulwarking the Suez Canal and controlling trade hegemony in the region.

They split up the Soviet Union and took Sevastopol and Black Sea port access away from the Russians on purpose after the fall of the Soviet Union.

Like, that's all Israel.

It seems like it's just a militarized...

outpost of the liberal economic order.

You know, I have kind of this utilitarian take on supporting Israel and supporting military in the Middle East because I was really anti-war in Iraq.

It seemed like nonsense.

But now I think if we just pulled out of the Middle East and just said, you're on your own.

Iran, take nuclear weapons.

I feel like Russia and China would take over the world, take over the Suez Canal.

America would become third bitch.

And then we would be spending $700 on coffees and speaking Mandarin.

So it's like I'm a little more bullish on military authority and control now to protect American religious, you know, republicanism, essentially.

and it's beyond me, it's because freedom of speech, because of gun rights, property rights, these ethics that are inherent in our country, I think is the best on earth or the least worst.

Well, I don't think it can.

I mean, I understand peace through strength and deterrence.

I would love for it to be peaceful and for it to be emergent where everybody's like, you know what?

Republicanism is the best.
