So they've been propping up the global economy for a long time.
So anything bad that happens to their economy is going to have global impact.
They also hold a massive amount of US debt.
So that's going to have an impact on the US.
Anything that happens to the US is going to have an impact on the rest of the world.
So if you're focusing on Asia, that's where you need to be looking.
Now, if you're looking at what's going on between Thailand and Cambodia, I don't think it's a nothing burger, but I think it's one of many, many, many things that show that the world is in an increasingly unstable position.
Now, to your earlier point, why is the world in an increasingly unstable position?
It's because of debt and money printing.
And so the one argument that everybody has made for a long time is, well, Tom, like all this money printing that the US is doing, it's not a big deal, bro.
What are you worried about?
Like everybody in the world is doing it.
Yeah, notice now that you're starting to see everybody fraying everywhere.
Everywhere in the world is now in conflict.
Yes, because unfortunately, you're playing a game of mathematics.
And once you realize that capitalism really is a zero-sum game, you are battling for...
economic resources, like I wanna get them, you wanna get them, I wanna try to outpace you to get them.
And so the whole game of economics, the whole game of political power, these things end up boiling down to one person is in charge, one person controls the money,
And I don't mean that literally in terms of the economy, but in any like back and forth battle over something, even if you're just taking it as employer employee, if you're taking it as person selling person buying, like everybody's trying to get the best deal for themselves, right?
So once you understand the fractious nature of that, then you begin to understand why it becomes a problem globally.
