cial case because of his age and stuff. But you don't hear me saying that the people I disagree with are stupid. I don't do that. Lots of times they're brilliant. AOC for example I think is brilliant. I just disagree with her on a lot of stuff. But this General Milley, he just actually did look dumb. I mean, he just oozed the dumbness. And it looks like maybe he's responsible. I don't know.

Now we've got a lot of blame to spread around. Biden of course, the Joint Chiefs, our intelligence people, the politicians. A lot of blame. But I feel like this guy might have most of it.

Well, China is already announcing that it wants to work with the Taliban and help them develop Afghanistan. A question you might ask yourself is, hmm, has the Taliban heard about the Uyghurs? Or do they even care? You know, is the Taliban a genuine organization meaning that it's really about their beliefs? Or is it just another political group that wants power and they're just using their beliefs to get it? Well, they're working with China. And China is putting people who believe what they believe in prison camps. So they're not operating on principle clearly. They're operating on some kind of self-interest model.

But I'm wondering if this isn't Biden's secret plan to destroy China. Because can somebody give me a history lesson here? Is it true or just one of these fake news kinds of things when people say that the Soviet Union fell in part because of Afghanistan? Is that true or is that just bad history? Somebody give me a quick history lesson on this.

Only true for the army, as you're saying. But did Afghanistan contribute to the fall of the Soviet Union in any significant way? I'm seeing some trues, but I always wonder if that's like fake news or maybe it was exaggerated, how much impact that had. How could it not? Yeah, I mean it was expensive. So that alone. Yeah. So I'm seeing some no's. I'm not entirely convinced that that was the biggest part of why the Soviet Union fell, but maybe it was part.

So here's the good news. China working with the Taliban is not going to be easy. And of course China is going to need to dominate them because it tries to dominate everything. And of course the Taliban is going to want to dominate too. So how in the world do they work together? How in the world could that work? Maybe. But it looks like a secret plan to destroy China by letting them work with the Taliban.

Now of course as many of you know, China's interest is probably further cornering of the rare minerals market. How many of you know that Afghanistan is probably about the rare minerals? They seem to have a lot of them. And China has cornered the market on a lot of the rare minerals that the United States needs. So if we want to be a technology power in the future we need those rare minerals. And China is going to control them in Afghanistan and everywhere else. Yeah, there's one trillion estimated to be there in whatever that is, aria. And their minerals are easily available. Well, easily meaning in terms of mining it's easy. In terms of bullets flying around, not so mu
