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?

We haven't gotten anything out of any of this except massive geopolitical isolation. The most recent votes in the UN, for example, put the United States alone, alone with Israel and Israel. I shouldn't exaggerate. We have Micronesia on our side. We have Nauru on our side with its 12,000 people, maybe a couple of other countries. The whole rest of the world is saying, what is going on?

Endless war in the Middle East. Well, this is because we're defending someone with some 7th century B.C. vision of what they want their country to be.

Of course they were, because this has been an ongoing operation. Whether they were involved in the final days, I don't know. They were involved in the 13 years nonstop. I don't understand how— Actually, let me tell you an interesting story, by the way. The war started in 2011. It was portrayed as always, as the CIA does, as a local uprising and the freedom fighters.

It was said this was Syrians protesting against Syria. That's always how any CIA regime change operation works. There may also be local opposition, but the CIA provides the armaments, it provides the flow of heavy weapons, it provides the financing, it provides the training, it provides the camps, it provides the political organization. So this started in 2011.

In 2012, there was already a bloodbath underway and a lot of people dying and a lot of civilians dying in a lot of ancient historic sites because this is the fertile crescent. This is the birthplace of humanity itself, of civilization being destroyed. And so a very senior global diplomat that I knew very, very well was tasked with trying to find peace. Peace, nice idea.

Maybe we don't need the bloodbath. And I met him in the spring of 2012, and he said it failed. And I said, why did it fail? He said, well, we had a full peace agreement, but it was blocked by one party alone. We had the different forces in Syria, we had the regional, but it was blocked by one Who was it blocked by? It was blocked by the United States government. Why?
