I see geopolitical strength as having
00:00:03
three legs of the stool. The first is
00:00:05
kinetic power. The second is alliances
00:00:07
and the third is competence. We have the
00:00:09
most kinetic power in the world. And I
00:00:10
do believe that if you're going to spend
00:00:11
$800 billion on your military, unless
00:00:13
we're going to do things like this that
00:00:16
project our power, I don't see why you'd
00:00:17
spend so much money. And flying B2
00:00:19
bombers that deliver bunker busters, I
00:00:21
do think it's impressive. Trying to put
00:00:23
aside my disdain for the administration.
00:00:25
So kinetic power, that box is checked.
00:00:27
alliances is really where we start to
00:00:29
fall down. We have 5% of the world's
00:00:30
population, 25% of the world's GDP. The
00:00:33
only successful military operations are
00:00:35
basically a gauge for them is how much
00:00:36
support you have from other democracies.
00:00:38
And if you'll notice, the only countries
00:00:40
that are putting out press releases are
00:00:42
Russia claiming that we have exaggerated
00:00:44
the damage done in China saying that
00:00:45
here they go again making the world more
00:00:47
uncertain. And then the third thing is
00:00:48
competence. And this is really where we
00:00:50
fall down in my view because when you
00:00:52
have our National Guard and our military
00:00:53
and agents of the government focused on
00:00:55
raiding a Home Depot in Westlake,
00:00:57
California, it detracts from the focus
00:00:59
we should have our military on
00:01:01
operations such as this. When you decide
00:01:03
to declare economic warfare on everyone
00:01:05
with tariffs that were derived from bad
00:01:08
prompts to chat GPT, it shows that
00:01:10
you're incompetent. These guys just look
00:01:11
incompetent in terms of their messaging,
00:01:14
right? Or or he they don't have control
00:01:16
over him. That's really it.
