So if you're Musk,
or if you're Peter Thiel, you have an active interest in breaking up the European Union because the European Union is the only entity in the world which has effective regulation of what you do.
A lot of our policy, especially the parts that JD Vance is very outspoken about, is about breaking up the European Union basically just so we can break up their digital security so Musk and Thiel and others can make a ton of money.
and in that like it's not clear which comes first is it the oligarchy or the fascism that comes first because what they want to do is they want to make the european information spear much more like ours where um where like right-wing nazi stuff just runs completely rampant where there's no fact-checking there's no verifiability there's no transparency where the guy at the top gets to set the whole framework for the conversation that's what they want and that does push your whole politics towards fascism
But it's also a model in which those guys make a ton of money.
So it's a little bit hard to say what comes first.
What's sad is that the interest the United States come last.
It's not in our interest as a country to make the Europeans hostile, to break up the European Union.
That's our biggest trade partner.
That's our that's our big set of allies.
Those are the people who for the last 80 years have helped us to become the most rich and powerful country in the history of the world.
It doesn't make any sense from the point of view of any American except for like two or three South Africans.
It doesn't make any sense at all for us to break these relations.
Yeah, well, the rest of the Ukraine war is, I mean, I think the central historical conflict of our time.
And it's about a dictatorship, Russia, trying to quash a democratic neighbor, Ukraine, basically because democracy could be contagious.
It's an oligarchical war.
It's a war of one of the richest people in the world.
Either Putin or Musk is the richest person in the world.
It's the richest person in the world who is in charge of a country which is entirely dependent on natural gas and oil sales.
using incredibly bad ideas like Ukraine doesn't exist or whatever in order to try to destroy a sovereign state next to them.
