I'll tell you what, Ali Soufan, you know Ali Soufan, the former FBI agent, counterterrorism agent.
He wrote in his book, The Black Banners, that the bin Ladenites said to bin Laden, we don't understand why you're so angry at America.
They've been so good to us in Afghanistan, in Bosnia, in Kosovo, and now here in Chechnya.
Why do you want to attack them?
And Bin Laden said, I have a larger agenda that you don't understand.
You should interview Michael Scheuer.
Although he's gone pretty crazy lately.
I don't know.
Maybe not.
I really don't know for sure, but I would think that
And there's a very great danger that it's going to reinforce the lessons of North Korea, Iraq, and Libya, which is you better get a nuke to keep America out, and you better hurry before it's too late.
Now, for the Saudis, they're not going to do that because they're obviously a very close American client state, so it's a different dynamic there.
But for any country that has trouble with the United States or is worried about the future of their ability to maintain their national sovereignty, obviously getting their hands on an A-bomb as quickly as possible has been re-incentivized to a great degree.
Also, I'm really worried about the future of the Nonproliferation Treaty, where the nuclear weapons states promise to respect the right of non-nuclear weapons states to civilian nuclear energy, and where...
Here you have a non-NPT signatory nuclear weapons state, Israel, launch an aggressive war against an NPT signatory that was not attacking them and was not making nuclear weapons, and with the assistance of the world empire, the United States, another nuclear weapons state signatory to the NPT.
And I don't really take this that seriously, but it's worth at least listening to, is the
And Medvedev, the once and probably future president of Russia, he said, oh, yeah, well, maybe we'll just give them a nuke or kind of implied maybe get Pakistan to.
Now, for people familiar with like Key and Peel, Medvedev is sort of angry Obama, right, for Putin.
Yeah.
You know, that skit where it's like Obama talks all calm and good translator.
