And I just remember talking about it.
Anyway, I got a heap of views.
I was like, oh, people want to know about this stuff.
I think...
The US, we fought World War II.
We secured all this territory across the Pacific.
The US obviously lost hundreds of thousands of troops doing it.
They've tried to hang on to this world system for a long time, but it is starting to unravel a bit.
And part of the reason is because China is not what the Soviets were in the Cold War.
They're so much more powerful economically now.
population-wise.
So it's not what it was when the US was kind of dominant from the late, from the 90s onwards, once the Cold War had been won.
They've now got these peer competitors and they're both saying, we're actually peers.
We want to sit at the table.
We don't want to follow your rules-based international order.
And that's where the
to and from, you know, the argument between the large powers is that.
And when you see, for example, this is where the US hitting Iran, it's like you've now lost credibility when another country like Russia attacks Ukraine or they'll just turn around and go, well, you do whatever you want.
So we'll do the same thing.
So you can kind of see the argument from both sides.
