And a lot of that comes from the Gulf states.

So if the Gulf states are no longer able to sell oil,

And they're no longer able to finance AI, this AI bubble in the United States.

Then this AI bubble will burst, and with it will burst as well as the entire American economy, which is really a financial Ponzi scheme.

So that's a dire situation that the Americans are facing right now.

Right, so my first point is that the United States military is not designed to fight a 21st century war.

Remember the military industrial complex came to being after World War II and was designed to fight the Cold War.

And the Cold War was really about muscle flexing, about who was able to send people up into space, who was able to first get the person on the moon, who had the more complex missile systems.

And so the entire American military strategy revolves around very sophisticated technology that costs a lot of money to build.

And that's what the American air defense system is, is basically.

And that's why we're seeing this asymmetry, as you point out,

in this war where you have these million-dollar missiles trying to take out these $50,000 drones, and it's not sustainable in the long term.

And so what we're seeing is really the puncturing of the aura of invincibility and inviability that sustained American hegemony for the past 20 years, especially after the collapse of the Soviet Union.

And this is really a reordering of not just the global economy,

Because this signals the collapse of the petrodollar and with it, the entire US dollar-based reserve currency system, but also the global hegemony of the United States.

We're moving towards a multipolar world.

Right, so everyone says that the worst calamity that could happen in the United States is if it were to send ground troops into Iran.

At the same time,

The United States are committed to regime change in Iran.

We've never had a precedent in history where you were able to regime change from the air alone.
