And it's interesting to go back and watch Netanyahu speak to the American people. Go look at a video clip of 2001, 2002. In 2002, in October, he comes and testifies in the Senate. And there's a nice clip of him promising how wonderful the war in Iraq is going to be because Saddam Hussein has weapons of mass destruction. He says 100 percent certain complete lies, by the way.

And they knew that they were lies at the time. And it's going to be wonderful. We're going to topple that dictator and then dictators are going to be toppled everywhere. And the young people of Iran are going to rise up. This is his idea, together with his U.S. political consultants, together with.

Neocons in the US government for the last 25 years, they have never apologized for dragging the United States into countless wars in the Middle East, spending trillions of dollars running up US debt. And doing what? Creating chaos. So just to go back to the seven countries, because it's worth remembering, Lebanon, it barely exists as a functioning country right now.

Syria, it's going to be picked to pieces. Don't believe... Well, it's obvious in what we're seeing every day. Territorial integrity, yeah. Israel's just invaded from the southwest into deeper Syria. Turkey from the north. Russia has its area. The United States and the Kurds have their area. This place is just going to be a battlefield for years to come. Iraq. We know what happened with Iraq.

Trillions of dollars, a complete destabilization of the country. Look at the other three wars. The United States broke apart Sudan. Why? Well, Sudan was an enemy of Israel, so we have to break apart Sudan. So we supported the South Sudanese. Now we have the real trifecta, massive civil war in Sudan and massive civil war in South Sudan.

In other words, we broke apart the country, and now there's civil war in both halves of the country. Somalia. basically doesn't exist as a country. Libya, it doesn't exist. It's a battlefield. It's a war zone. So that's six out of six. And Netanyahu's crowing, now we go on to Iran.

You have. I have. Of course. This is, where does $28 trillion of debt come from? We've paid probably $7 trillion, if you add it up according to Brown University studies, for example. Something like $7 trillion has gone into this. Israel couldn't do this for one day. Israel, Netanyahu, we are lions. Yeah, right. You are liars. But we are the ones funding you, arming you, paying for all of this.

That's the United States. And this is weird to me because we say yes to defend our ally. No, no, no. We're doing their foreign policy, which makes no sense, which doesn't lead to any peace, which leads to. Basically, a war zone across the Middle East, and we say this is good for us? Why is this good for us? What's the United States getting out of any of this?
