ecause you believe that I think that I believe the news coming out of Ukraine? Is there anything I can say that would convince you I don't believe everything coming out of Ukraine? Is there any way I could convince you that's true so that you would stop making comments like that? You don't need to disagree about the quality of the information. You really don't. We all get it. We all get it. Howev…
← Previous segment →at is in China's best interest? To become a major player in the Ukraine war or to let Russia and NATO punch themselves out until both are weaker? What is in China's best interest? Now I suppose maybe they could give them ammo so that the fight goes on longer. But China's best interest I think would be to continue buying energy and trade with Russia which seems fine and not to be too directly involved in war because that would make the rest of their customers unhappy. So I think China will flirt with giving ammo to Russia.
And here's like a totally speculative thing because I couldn't possibly know this. I think China is yanking Putin's chain. I think China is doing to Putin what that secret American lab or whatever it is was doing to Sam Harris and Eric Weinstein. Yeah, I feel like it is like, so you need me ammo? Yeah, lots of ammo. And if we gave you that ammo you'd be in much better shape, wouldn't you? Huh? Okay, so we'll have conversations internally about giving you some ammo. And then Putin gets back next week. All right, how'd that go? How'd that conversation go? Can we have some ammo? We are putting that to the committee of ammo decisions in the CCP and we'll get back to you in a week. And Putin calls back in a week. We have it now? Well you know the committee on ammo decided that they also needed an opinion from our economic interest group and so they're reviewing it. And Putin calls back next week and repeat. My best guess is that she is yanking Putin along and she hopes that Putin will end the war before they give him one bullet because it would be a serious mistake by China to give Putin one bullet. We're never going to forget that, right? Explain why. Because we'll never forget it. That's a permanent play. There are lots of things that countries do. They you know this makes me angry. You shouldn't have tested that missile when our president was visiting. But those are all like temporary stuff, right? You get past that pretty easily. Oh you shouldn't have said that. You know blah blah blah. But if you give our enemy one bullet that changes everything. That changes everything.
Steve says your laugh at the end betrays your sincerity. Steve, you're a terrible mind reader. Betrays my sincerity? No. I laugh at all terrible things. The more worse it is and tragic the more likely I will laugh. It doesn't have anything to do with my sincerity. Yeah. And by the way I don't apologize for that at all. Russia is not our enemy. I agree with you in concept. But if you give them weapons that shoot NATO people, you can see it both ways. Let's say.
All right. What else is going on? Yeah, and I guess this Prigozhin, the guy who's out of the Wagner group, he's directly naming names in the Russian military who are at fault for him not having enough weapons. Now if you believe that Russia has enough ammo, you have to explain why the guy who needs it the most says he doesn't have it. The guy who needs it the most, the Wagner group head, he says they don't have it. He showed a bunch of Russian soldiers of his own men. He showed a gigantic pile, a disturbing image, a huge pile that just goes on for a long time of dead Russian soldiers, his own team. He showed that. He said it's because we don't have enough ammo. Think about that. The head of the Wagner group publicly showed a picture of his own gigantic pile of dead soldiers and said this is because we're not given enough ammo.

So you still think they have enough ammo? Do you? You think they have enough ammo if this guy did that play? No, you don't do that play if you have enough ammo or you expect to. You do that play when you know you're not getting any ammo. Now the other possibility is Putin doesn't want the Wagner group to win. Have you ever thought of that? Putin might need this Prigozhin guy to lose. You know why…
