Well, what we actually did was built a much better system. We didn't attack them. We pursued detente. We tried to reach some kind of understanding. We sent them cultural exchanges. We sent them rock and roll and the Beatles. And over time, yeah, people in those systems ceased to believe in them. And that's how we won really remarkably peacefully.

I'm not saying we'll have a copy of that history with China, but we have the better system. Most of the world knows that. And we have the possibility of winning this next Cold War.

It didn't turn out to be true in Russia either. It was a mistake that people ever thought that. We don't know what the future holds for China, but I think it is likely that the more interaction they have with the West and the United States, it's likely to go better rather than worse.

I think it's great that China has AI. AI is radical. It's the opposite of small C conservative. It will overturn status relationships and every society it enters. The CCP is terrified of AI, and they should be. It could disrupt their entire power, their hold on Chinese society. DeepSeek in particular is super easy to jailbreak, get it to tell you what you want it to tell you.

The notion that there are already entities out there in China smarter than the Chinese Communist Party is probably the single greatest threat to CCP rule. We have done it with this Trojan horse. We will see how it develops. But the fact that, oh, they're not reciprocal and it's been done through a Chinese company rather than an American. You know, fine. Things like that are going to happen.

And we should spend more on defense. Strong agree.

We're not losing it. You know, what we're hoping for is an ongoing perpetual stalemate of sorts. If we can win it and China becomes a mature democracy, a more populous Canada, that would be wonderful. But I'm not expecting it.
