I see geopolitical strength as having three legs of the stool. The first is kinetic power. The second is alliances
00:00:07
and the third is competence. We have the most kinetic power in the world. And I do believe that if you're going to spend
00:00:11
$800 billion on your military, unless we're going to do things like this that project our power, I don't see why you'd
00:00:17
spend so much money. And flying B2 bombers that deliver bunker busters, I do think it's impressive. Trying to put
00:00:23
aside my disdain for the administration. So kinetic power, that box is checked. alliances is really where we start to
00:00:29
fall down. We have 5% of the world's population, 25% of the world's GDP. The only successful military operations are
00:00:35
basically a gauge for them is how much support you have from other democracies. And if you'll notice, the only countries
00:00:40
that are putting out press releases are Russia claiming that we have exaggerated
00:00:44
the damage done in China saying that here they go again making the world more uncertain. And then the third thing is
00:00:48
competence. And this is really where we fall down in my view because when you have our National Guard and our military
00:00:53
and agents of the government focused on raiding a Home Depot in Westlake, California, it detracts from the focus
00:00:59
we should have our military on operations such as this. When you decide to declare economic warfare on everyone
00:01:05
with tariffs that were derived from bad prompts to chat GPT, it shows that you're incompetent. These guys just look
00:01:11
incompetent in terms of their messaging, right? Or or he they don't have control
00:01:16
over him. That's really it. [Music]
