They tried to pay for some Russian military equipment with used car parts. So I bring this up in that, and again, Russia and China. These are two countries with historical antagonisms. They have a shared border. During the Soviet times, they fought wars over.

They have the Chinese look at Siberia and its resources, and its population I don't think is growing right now because they killed 100 million baby But this is an area with resources that they need and that there's been in the past conflicts over.

There should be tension between those two countries, but our foreign policy of bucketing them all together, sanctioning them, treating them as one united front has kind of willed it into existence.

Yes. And it shouldn't be that way. We should be able to pull them apart because they have interests that don't align. We should be able to be working more with the Russians. And I hope that, you know, if again, Steve Witkoff is successful and others in the administration, there's a lot of great people in the administration working on Russia, Ukraine right now.

You know... I think maybe that's a possibility, but the more I've interacted with some of these people and seen them up close, it's almost given them too much credit.

There's definitely evil forces at play, but a lot of this is stupidity and laziness. In my, albeit short time in the Pentagon... like with Ukraine, a lot of people in the Pentagon wanted to keep doing what we were doing in Ukraine. Some of them really had an ideological commitment to the Ukrainian project.
