[0:00] So, it looks like the forever war model [0:02] is coming to an end. [0:04] >> We initiate, we attack, we surprise, and [0:08] we attack those enemies that seek our [0:11] destruction, that seek to kill us, we [0:13] attack [music] them before they have a [0:15] chance to do so. If you know Hebrew, [0:17] akam lo orega ashkel lo orego. Kill them [0:20] first. [0:22] >> The next phase of the global economy [0:24] needs something that the forever war [0:26] model just can't give us, which is [0:28] stability. [0:29] Why we need stability is because [0:32] you can't build a trillion-dollar AI [0:34] grid in a world that's always on fire. [0:38] Now, if this is true, it would explain [0:40] why we're seeing such a change to the [0:43] narrative from the media. [0:44] Because right now, [0:46] there is real criticism of US's greatest [0:49] ally Israel. [0:50] And it's criticism by people no one ever [0:53] thought would criticize Israel. [0:56] >> And, you know, you're you're a country [0:57] of of 9 million people. You can't just [1:01] kill your way out of solving [music] [1:03] every single national security problem [1:05] that you have. [1:05] >> Why [1:07] did October 7th happen? What were the [1:09] signals that were missed? What could [1:12] have been done differently? [1:13] >> [music] [1:13] >> What did Bibi Netanyahu think he was [1:15] doing having Cutter pay Hamas millions [1:19] and millions of dollars a month in [1:22] order, in his thinking, to weaken the [1:24] Palestinian Authority? What did he think [1:25] was going to happen? [1:26] >> Without the United States, there would [1:28] be no Israel. Israel would have been [1:29] blown up a long time ago had I not [1:31] gotten involved. Israel's fighting [1:33] Hezbollah too long and too many people [1:35] are being killed. [1:37] >> Let me explain. [1:38] A couple of days ago, the United States [1:40] and Iran signed a historic deal to end [1:43] one of the most destructive wars in the [1:44] Middle East. [1:46] And within days, that deal was canceled. [1:49] How come? [1:50] Well, it's because America's closest [1:51] ally in the region kept on bombing [1:53] Lebanon, which was in violation of the [1:56] agreement between Iran and the United [1:58] States. [1:59] That agreement, by the way, is called [2:00] the memorandum of understanding. [2:03] Now, Israel's basically saying, "This [2:05] deal does not apply to them." [2:07] So, Iran was like, "Well, okay. We're [2:09] now closing the Strait of Hormuz again. [2:11] So, no more oil for the world. Have fun [2:14] with the global economy, and let's see [2:16] how long your markets last." [2:18] That's where we're at today. [2:20] Now, the thing that I want to explain is [2:22] how the world actually works, and what [2:25] Israel really represents for the United [2:27] States. [2:28] This is going to be a pretty ambitious [2:29] video, but what you have to understand [2:31] is that [2:32] for a very small group of powerful [2:35] people, [2:36] peace is a very dangerous thing. [2:39] Because peace threatens the most [2:40] profitable business model that humanity [2:43] has ever created. [music] [2:44] That model, of course, is the forever [2:46] war model. [2:47] The product is war, and the way it works [2:49] is [2:50] war generates demand for weapons, and [2:53] every time countries fight, that [2:55] justifies a bigger Pentagon budget, and [2:58] every destroyed city becomes an [3:00] opportunity to make money with [3:02] reconstruction contracts. [3:04] That is why we are seeing non-government [3:07] officials structuring deals on the [3:09] behalf of the United States. [3:11] >> So, Jared Kushner actually came up with [3:13] a with a very interesting solution with [3:15] the Qataris, where [3:17] >> instead of actual people that represent [3:19] the country, we're seeing real estate [3:22] developers negotiating these deals. [3:25] Because [3:26] rebuilding's very good for business. In [3:28] fact, it is so good for business that if [3:31] you look at history, you'll find that [3:33] the United States has been at war for [3:35] something like 93% of its entire [3:37] existence. [3:39] In almost 250 years as a nation, [3:42] the US has had maybe 15, maybe 20 years [3:45] of actual peace. [3:47] And out of all those wars, only five [3:50] were ever officially declared by [3:52] Congress the way the Constitution tells [3:54] us we're supposed to do it. [3:56] Now, after the Cold War era between the [3:59] Soviet Union and the United States, [4:01] things got worse. We went from 46 [4:04] military interventions during the whole [4:06] Cold War era to 188 [4:09] in the 25 years after it. [4:11] And just between 1947 and 1989, [4:15] the US tried to change or overthrow [4:18] another country's governments [4:20] 72 different times. Most of them, of [4:22] course, in secret. The countries like [4:25] Korea Vietnam Lebanon Grenada [4:27] Panama Somalia Libya Iraq [4:30] Afghanistan. [4:33] America did not invent this model. The [4:35] US actually inherited it. [4:37] Because before the US was the world's [4:40] police force, it was Great Britain. It [4:42] was the British Empire that was the [4:44] global cop from 1815 all the way to [4:47] 1914. [4:48] And during that whole century, they were [4:51] at war for all but about 15 years of [4:54] their history. [4:56] Britain ran the whole world through what [4:58] are called proxies. [5:00] A proxy is basically a substitute for [5:03] your interests. Because someone else [5:05] needs to destabilize the world so that [5:07] while they do, you can act like the good [5:09] cop that cares for values like freedom [5:11] and democracy. [5:12] While the other country gets to be the [5:13] bad cop who destabilizes the world. [5:17] Now, why this proxy is so important is [5:18] because [5:20] if you're the most powerful country in [5:21] the world, [5:22] you don't want to send your own soldiers [5:23] into every single fight. It's expensive. [5:26] It's unpopular. Like people start asking [5:28] really hard questions back at home. [5:31] So, instead, you find a close ally. [5:34] Somebody in the region who has their own [5:36] reasons to fight and you back them up. [5:39] You give them weapons, you give them [5:41] capital, and you give them the political [5:42] cover. And they do the destabilizing [5:45] while you do the posturing and the [5:47] rebuilding. That's a proxy. [5:49] And for decades now, Israel has been [5:51] America's proxy. We give them billions [5:54] of dollars in military aid every year. [5:56] We give them weapons, and we'll veto [5:58] basically anything that the UN throws [6:00] against them. [6:01] And in return, Israel acts as America's [6:05] proxy of interest in the Middle East. [6:07] That relationship allows for this [6:10] forever war model. [6:12] Because wherever there is war, there's [6:13] always an opportunity to make some [6:15] money. [6:16] And if there is an opportunity to make [6:17] some money, don't you dare stand in the [6:19] way of it. That's also why people that [6:22] have called for peace throughout history [6:24] have somehow ended up in very bad [6:26] scenarios. [6:27] >> I speak of peace because of the new face [6:30] of war. [6:32] Total war makes no sense [6:35] in an age where great powers can [6:37] maintain large [6:40] and relatively invulnerable nuclear [6:42] forces [6:43] and refuse to surrender [6:46] without resort to those forces. [6:48] >> So in this video, I want to explain how [6:51] much deeper this model actually goes and [6:54] how it [music] might be coming to an [6:56] end. So with that said, let's get into [6:58] it. [6:59] Hi, my name is Andrei Jikh. Hope you're [7:00] doing well. Come for the finance and [7:02] stay for the forever war model. So, [7:05] Trump signs a deal to end the war with [7:07] Iran. Israel just kept on bombing [7:09] anyway. [7:10] They are now defying the president of [7:12] the United States. [7:13] And the easy explanation to that is, [7:15] Israel controls America. I see that [7:17] everywhere on social media. [7:19] But the truth is that Israel and the [7:21] United States are more or less one in [7:24] the same. Their interests are a lot of [7:26] times the same. They are both [7:28] subservient to the capital machine. [7:31] Everyone is being used for a greater [7:34] purpose. And that purpose is to extract [7:37] resources and centralize power. Now, let [7:40] me explain. [7:41] Throughout history, countries have [7:43] basically organized their power in two [7:45] different ways. [7:47] In one type of country, we can call the [7:49] sovereign, [7:50] the government sits on top as the ruling [7:53] class. And it's the people in government [7:56] that hold the power, right? The capital, [7:59] or money, answers to them. [8:02] Right? The state decides what gets [8:05] built, who gets rich, right? Where the [8:07] resources go. [8:09] We usually call these countries [8:10] nationalistic sovereign, right? China [8:13] runs this way. And we've seen examples [8:16] of how China has punished their [8:18] capitalists. [8:20] Russia runs this way. They've also [8:22] punished their capitalists before. Iran [8:25] runs this way. And love them or hate [8:27] them, in those countries, their [8:29] government is the boss, and corporate [8:32] capital is their employee. [8:34] Now, here in the United States, it is [8:36] reversed. It's flipped. Here, capital [8:40] sits on top, and government answers to [8:43] it. The corporations, the banks, and the [8:46] giant asset managers like the [8:48] BlackRocks, the State Streets, and the [8:49] Vanguards, they're the boss, and the [8:52] politicians are basically their [8:54] employees. They're kind of what I like [8:56] to call piƱatas. They're sort of like [8:59] these symbols that are meant to [9:01] represent our interests. But as George [9:03] Carlin would say, they're symbols for [9:05] the symbol-minded, [9:07] right? Because we beat them up expecting [9:09] some kind of change, but nothing ever [9:11] changes because they were never in [9:13] charge in the first place. And I know [9:15] that sounds cynical, but that is how it [9:17] works. We know this because politicians [9:21] need hundreds of millions of dollars to [9:23] win elections. [9:24] Well, where does that money come from? [9:26] From the people who already had it. And [9:29] once they write their checks, the [9:31] politician owes them a favor. So, the [9:34] political class in this country doesn't [9:36] really rule over capital. It works for [9:39] it. [9:40] Now, some people call this power the man [9:42] or central planners or something else, [9:44] but the best way to understand the [9:47] powers that actually run the West [9:50] was best described by Simon Dixon's [9:52] model, where power is made up of the big [9:54] three. [9:55] The financial industrial complex, aka [9:58] the FIC, which is Wall Street, the [10:00] banks, and the crypto lobby. [10:02] You've got the military industrial [10:03] complex, aka the MIC, which is the war [10:06] economy we were just talking about. [10:09] And then you've got the rising power, [10:11] which is the technological industrial [10:13] complex, aka the TIC, right? Which is [10:16] big tech, AI, data, and surveillance. [10:20] And then sitting across the room from [10:22] all of that, on the opposite side of the [10:24] spectrum, you've got the sovereigns. The [10:26] nations that refuse to let capital run [10:30] their interests. [10:32] Those are the players. What is the game? [10:35] Now, before I get into it though, this [10:36] video is sponsored by Gemini. All [10:37] opinions are my own and were not [10:39] influenced or endorsed by Gemini. I've [10:41] used Gemini for years and recently I [10:43] started using something new from them [10:44] called Gemini predictions. It fits [10:46] perfectly with the kind of things we [10:48] already talk about because every week [10:50] we're looking at the same questions. How [10:52] are markets thinking about the next Fed [10:53] decision? What happens after the next [10:55] inflation report? What happens to oil or [10:58] gold or markets when the world is [10:59] changing this fast? And usually we talk [11:02] about those things, we analyze them, and [11:04] then we watch the market react. But [11:05] Gemini predictions gives you a way to [11:07] express your view on real world outcomes [11:10] in real time directly inside Gemini. [11:12] What I like about it is that it's super [11:14] easy to navigate. Here inside the app [11:15] for example, I'm looking at one of the [11:17] short duration Bitcoin contracts, [11:20] checking the possible outcomes, the [11:21] pricing, and the time left before [11:24] deciding whether this is something I [11:25] want to participate in. Now, of course, [11:28] this is not financial advice. Prediction [11:30] markets involve risk and you should only [11:32] use money you're comfortable putting at [11:33] risk. Gemini predictions is also [11:35] available in all 50 states, so if you [11:37] want to give it a try, go to [11:38] gemini.com/andre [11:39] or click the link in the description [11:41] down below. Please be careful, do your [11:42] own research, and make sure you [11:44] understand the risks. And now, let's get [11:45] back to it. Okay, so the whole game of [11:47] this system is to gain control over [11:50] capital in order to centralize power. [11:53] Basically, the game is to get rich. [11:55] And here's how we do that. [11:57] America holds the most powerful weapon [11:59] in human history, which is the dollar. [12:01] Cuz the whole world has to use our [12:03] dollars to buy their energy and to trade [12:05] with each other. So, we get to control [12:07] the plumbing of the entire global [12:08] economy. That is the fixed superpower. [12:11] >> [snorts] [12:11] >> Now, we use this superpower to crack [12:15] other countries open so we can take [12:17] their resources. [12:18] And there's basically four ways to crack [12:21] a country open, right? Number one, you [12:23] sanction it. Their economy collapses. [12:26] In 2018, for example, the US pulled out [12:29] of the Iran nuclear deal. [12:30] Now, countries like Germany, France, and [12:32] Britain, they still wanted to keep [12:34] trading with Iran. But the US basically [12:36] said, "Well, that's nice, but if you [12:38] guys want access to the US financial [12:40] system, you're going to have to choose [12:42] who you want to do business with." [12:44] So, European companies started leaving [12:45] Iran. [12:47] Now, the second way to crack a country [12:48] open is you cut it off from its [12:51] bloodstream, which is access to the [12:52] dollar. So, their economy collapses. [12:55] For example, in 1988, the United States [12:58] basically told Panama, [13:00] "Hey, that's a nice country you have [13:01] there. It'd be a shame if the cash [13:04] stopped moving here." So, we froze their [13:07] assets, we blocked payments, and we [13:08] pushed money that was supposed to go to [13:09] them into the Federal Reserve escrow [13:11] accounts, and because Panama's economy [13:14] relied on the dollar, their banks closed [13:17] for 9 weeks because there wasn't enough [13:18] cash, [13:19] and their economy was massively [13:21] pressured. Now, the third way to crack a [13:23] country open is [13:25] you go to war with it. You pressure it [13:27] long enough that will cause huge amounts [13:30] of inflation because war is always [13:32] inflationary. So, their economy [13:34] collapses. And the people of that [13:36] country will hate their leaders so much [13:40] they'll revolt against them. And when [13:42] the time is right, we'll remove that guy [13:44] from power and replace him with one of [13:46] our own who's cool with us rebuilding [13:48] there. [13:49] Okay, the fourth way is the last resort. [13:52] Takes the longest and that is use the [13:55] media and the capital to fund the [13:58] opposition from inside that country to [14:02] eventually push for a revolution in the [14:03] name of good. Right, in the name of [14:05] democracy, in the name of human rights. [14:08] And if that goes on long enough, you let [14:10] the country tear itself apart from the [14:12] inside. People revolt, right? They [14:14] replace their leader themselves. The [14:16] economy falls apart. [14:17] Four different ways of doing the same [14:19] thing, which is to collapse an economy [14:23] in order to get their resources [14:25] privatized, sold off, and get them [14:27] sucked into the financial industrial [14:30] complex where more power and capital can [14:32] centralize. [14:33] This is why [14:35] unlike 99% of people in this world, [14:39] we are able to park our money into the [14:41] S&P 500 index [14:43] and assuming that we're sensible, right? [14:45] We've saved enough and invested [14:46] diligently throughout our lives, we get [14:49] to retire fat and happy at the age of 67 [14:53] as millionaires. [14:54] Hold on though. Where does this system [14:57] get the money to do this, I wonder? [15:01] Well, it gets it from you. From all of [15:02] us. [15:03] Because we have been conditioned to [15:05] persistently dollar cost average into [15:08] the market. Right? That is the heroes we [15:10] prop up. That's who the media says we [15:13] should look up to. [15:14] And it is this very same market that [15:16] rules over our political class. [15:19] Cuz the true votes do not come from you [15:21] voting at the voting booth. [15:23] It comes from voting with capital. [15:26] Now, most of us will never get those [15:28] votes because we dollar cost average [15:32] into what are called mutual funds, ETFs, [15:35] target retirement funds, right? Places [15:38] that forfeit those voting rights to the [15:42] BlackRocks, the State Streets, and the [15:44] Vanguards. [15:46] Those votes get used to support these [15:48] policies. [15:50] Now, after those countries get [15:52] vassalized and absorbed into the thick [15:55] and we get richer, [15:56] the machine rolls on to the next country [15:59] and then the next one and the next one. [16:01] All right, but the catch though is that [16:04] not every country can be cracked. [16:07] Some countries are really hard to take [16:08] down. [16:09] Some countries, for example, have very [16:10] powerful allies who might have their [16:12] back right? [16:13] Some countries are just really big and [16:15] they're self-sufficient and they don't [16:17] actually need the US. [16:19] Maybe they don't depend on the dollar or [16:20] on energy because they have their own. [16:24] Some countries have nuclear weapons. [16:27] Now, if the first three strategies don't [16:29] work, [16:30] then the fourth strategy of last resort [16:32] is [16:33] propaganda. That consists of using the [16:36] media, the entertainment industry, [16:39] culture, right? That tries to change the [16:41] minds from the inside of that country to [16:43] hopefully spark a revolution. [16:45] That brings me then to Iran and the [16:49] conflict that the machine is now in. The [16:52] conflict of the machine is this. [16:54] AI needs stability in the region. The [16:57] forever war model needs war and [16:59] instability. [17:01] Iran knows that it has a lot of leverage [17:03] here because even though they can't win [17:04] the military war, [17:06] they can wait it out long enough to [17:09] collapse the global economy. [17:11] They know that, which is why in a recent [17:12] meeting with their leaders, [17:14] they kind of embarrassed US leadership [17:15] by just not showing up at all and having [17:19] US leadership show up first. Which in [17:21] the game of negotiations is a big no-no. [17:24] Now also, in this game where [17:27] capital and centralization of power is [17:29] the end goal, [17:30] a collapse of the economy is the worst [17:33] possible outcome. [17:34] And it is obvious the Iranian leadership [17:37] understands this. [17:38] And that's why they've been putting out [17:40] messages like this. [17:41] >> Both the ruling class, the military [17:43] generals, your own government, the [17:46] political leadership, and the head of [17:48] the government, they are all just using [17:50] you as human shields. The spiral of [17:53] silence created is the result of a [17:55] financial oligarchy. [17:57] >> Iran mentioned the financial oligarchy, [18:00] which is exactly the system where [18:03] capital sits above the government. [18:06] Now, where does Israel play a role in [18:08] all of this? [18:10] Israel is the cover story for the US [18:12] empire. [18:13] Israel's the piece of the whole machine [18:15] whose job it is to keep the world in [18:18] conflict. Remember the MIC, right, the [18:20] military side of this. They only make [18:22] money when there's a war, right, weapons [18:25] to sell and cities to rebuild. [18:28] And somebody has to fight. [18:29] And in the most resource-rich, most [18:32] strategically important region on the [18:33] planet, that somebody has been Israel. [18:36] That is their role. [18:37] Israel keeps the Middle East unstable [18:39] enough that the forever war model never [18:42] runs out of customers. [18:44] But at the end of the day, this can't go [18:47] on forever. Something has to give. [18:50] The model of making money from war will [18:53] inevitably end. [18:54] One way or another, but that is why [18:57] we're seeing money move from the war [18:59] model [19:01] to the build-out of the last technology [19:04] humans will ever need to build, which is [19:06] robots and AI. [19:08] And in order to transition this money [19:10] from one place to the other, you need an [19:13] exit strategy, [19:15] you need a face to represent the [19:16] movement, and you need on brand [19:20] messaging from everyone. [19:22] That's what we're watching right now. We [19:24] are watching that exit strategy play [19:26] out. That is why we're seeing the [19:28] coordinated public criticism of Israel [19:31] from people who would have never [19:33] criticized Israel before. All that [19:35] criticism gives us the exit narrative. [19:39] Everyone is now on the same page if you [19:41] haven't noticed. [19:42] But we also need a face that will allow [19:46] us to transition the model to AI. [19:49] And the candidate that best represents [19:50] the interest of the technological [19:53] industrial complex is J.D. Vance. [19:56] J.D. Vance's entire political career was [19:58] essentially launched by one man. And [20:00] that man's name is Peter Thiel. [20:02] Peter Thiel spent around $15 million for [20:05] Vance's Senate run, which is one of the [20:08] biggest bets on a Senate candidate ever [20:10] made. [20:11] J.D. Vance worked inside of Peter [20:14] Thiel's world. Peter Thiel was the guy [20:16] who helped get him into Trump's orbit in [20:19] the first place so that he could become [20:22] VP. [20:23] That's not a theory. This is all on [20:24] record. [20:25] Now, J.D. Vance doesn't have a lot of [20:27] competition. He is the clearest [20:29] political embodiment of the tech world [20:32] that exists in power today. [20:35] So now we have an exit narrative where [20:38] everyone's on the same page. We have a [20:40] face that represents the movement. And [20:42] he's also on board with criticizing [20:44] Israel, right? All of it is consistent [20:47] with this story. [20:48] If you wanted to transition from wars to [20:51] AI, you take your guy, you would [20:53] distance him from this forever war [20:55] model, you'd let him look strong and [20:58] independent by standing up to Israel in [21:00] public, which is exactly what we're [21:02] watching him do right now. [21:03] >> If I was in the cabinet of the Israeli [21:05] government, I might not be attacking the [21:08] only powerful ally that I have anywhere [21:11] left in the entire world. And anybody in [21:14] Israel who thinks their biggest problem [21:16] is the president of the United States [21:18] needs to wake up and smell the reality [21:21] of the situation that country is in. [21:23] >> That's how you'd set him up to be the [21:25] face of the new world order heading into [21:27] 2028. That is how the technological [21:29] industrial complex becomes the power [21:32] player. That's how we usher in this [21:34] digital control grid. So, let me tie all [21:36] of this together. Remember the three [21:38] power structures from Simon Dixon, the [21:40] FIC, the MIC, and the TIC. All right, [21:42] for the last few decades, the financial [21:44] industrial complex used the military [21:47] industrial complex to run this forever [21:49] war model because war was the most [21:52] profitable product in the world. [21:54] War means more weapons contracts, [21:57] emergency budgets, sanctions, oil [21:59] shocks, reconstruction deals, and of [22:01] course, more and more debt. [22:04] Now, the MIC created the need for war [22:07] using its proxies. All right, good cop [22:09] US, bad cop Israel. [22:11] And the financial industrial complex [22:13] financed all of it. [22:15] But now, the product is changing. [22:18] The new king on the block is going to be [22:19] the TIC, the technological industrial [22:21] complex. [22:23] They want to build out AI, data centers, [22:25] robots surveillance chips energy [22:28] digital infrastructure. That is where [22:30] the money's going right now. [22:32] But this creates a problem cuz the old [22:34] model and the new model want opposite [22:38] things. [22:39] The MIC needs chaos and forever wars, [22:42] and the TIC needs stability cuz you [22:43] can't build a trillion-dollar AI grid in [22:46] a world that is always on fire. [22:48] Data centers need power, right? Supply [22:50] chains that work, energy markets that [22:52] work, shipping lanes that stay open. [22:55] So, [22:56] what we might be watching is not America [22:59] versus Iran or Israel versus Lebanon. [23:02] we are watching a civil war inside the [23:06] profit machine itself. [23:08] Two factions of the same system fighting [23:10] over which business model will run the [23:13] future. [23:15] This is where Simon Dixon says, "Look at [23:17] who's funding these operations." Right [23:19] at the top you have Gulf Capital, which [23:22] are countries like Saudi Arabia, the [23:24] UAE, Qatar, Kuwait, countries with giant [23:27] sovereign wealth funds that need places [23:30] to invest trillions of dollars. [23:32] Well, then you have the financial [23:34] industrial complex, which are the banks, [23:36] the asset managers, private equity, old [23:39] banking families, the Western financial [23:41] system that can turn all of this [23:43] into investable products like bonds, [23:46] stocks, loans, insurance contracts, [23:49] infrastructure funds, yield, right? [23:52] Well, then you have the technological [23:53] industrial complex who also funded [23:55] Trump's election. People like Elon Musk, [23:59] Peter Thiel, Silicon Valley. [24:01] And this is all done in order to [24:03] transition from the old war model to [24:07] building AI, robots, satellites, data [24:09] centers, and the surveillance side of [24:11] the system, the digital control grid. [24:14] Well, then of course you can't leave out [24:15] the military industrial complex, which [24:17] was that old war economy, which are the [24:19] defense contractors, the weapons lobby, [24:22] right? And the Israel first donors [24:24] represented by people like Miriam [24:26] Adelson. [24:27] That is the old model in conflict with [24:29] the new. [24:31] So, now the question is, [24:32] well, who's winning? [24:34] Right now, it looks like the Gulf, [24:37] the financial industrial complex, [24:39] and the technological industrial [24:40] complex. [24:41] They're trying to move the region toward [24:43] stability, cuz again, stability lets [24:45] them build and own the future. [24:47] Now, while that's happening though, [24:49] the military industrial complex will [24:51] still benefit from the chaos, [24:53] because chaos keeps their model alive. [24:56] That's what the Iran conflict [24:58] represents. [24:59] Now, Iran does not need to win the [25:01] conventional war. [25:02] Iran is convincing the world right now [25:05] that the future is going to be cheaper [25:07] with them inside the system. And Iran [25:09] has the geography, they have the energy, [25:11] and the choke point to leverage [25:13] themselves into this bigger future to be [25:17] part of that deal. [25:18] Now, China's role in this [25:21] is they're the factory of the world, the [25:23] manufacturing base, right? The [25:25] infrastructure, and the alternative [25:27] payment rails based on gold. [25:29] Now, the Gulf has the money. [25:32] The West for now still has the financial [25:35] wrapper. [25:37] But ultimately, an agreement will be [25:39] reached because ownership and rebuilding [25:43] is a lot more profitable right now than [25:45] war. [25:46] You can only bomb somebody once. [25:48] But if you finance the rebuilding, you [25:50] own the ports, you insure the ships, you [25:53] control the payment rails, you run the [25:55] data centers, you reroute their energy, [25:58] collect interest rates for the next 30 [25:59] years, and that's a way better business [26:01] model. [26:02] That's the transition away from war as a [26:04] service to infrastructure and AI as a [26:07] service. [26:09] And that is why I believe that in the [26:10] near future [26:12] Israel's leadership will probably be [26:14] changed. Its resources will be [26:17] privatized, and it too will be absorbed [26:20] into this profit machine. [26:22] The leaders of the old forever war model [26:24] will be replaced with new ones. [26:27] And we will get whatever narrative [26:28] they'll negotiate. That's where I think [26:30] this is going.
