hing in return. Now not positive that's true. Well the rare minerals might be a valid argument. So I do think they're getting resources. But what I don't think is that they're delighted with the return on their investments. Because America also has seemingly all the rare materials we need. I mean we're building stuff. So China has raw materials like rare earth. We have rare earth. But we didn't spend a gazillion billion dollars in Africa. They got pissed away. So I think it would be a toss-up strategy-wise whether it's smarter to compete with China and try to get as much control of Africa as we can. And I don't know but it was a better use of 10 trillion than our stupid wars. I don't know. I guess the question is is any amount of money that you put into Africa going to work out? Because there's a theoretical amount of corruption that makes it impossible to invest and I think they're below that line. I think they're uninvestable. So if you try to make it investable by investing I don't know if that could get you from here to there. I don't know if that's really a path. So of course Africa will improve like everything improves over time. But if you try to make it improve too fast you might have some issues there. So I'm not sure we should be competing there.

Well let's talk about Israel in the two-state versus one-state solution. So Netanyahu has said directly now that there's no real plan from him anyway for a two-state solution. He wants Israel to control the West Bank and Gaza and that's it. And then you're done. Israel controls it and we're done forever. Now as you might imagine that is very provocative and the Arab world doesn't love it and the Biden administration wants a two-state solution and all the protesters want an end to the violence and for them to work out something that would look like a two-state solution. So what's going to happen? Well things are getting bad there. Well they were always bad but getting worse. The numbers of people killed, civilian, you know I think I won't even say the number because you're just going to say that number came from Hamas that is exaggerated and I'll say yeah you're probably right but it's the only number we have and I told you where it came from and then you'll say but still it's so misleading maybe it'd be better you didn't mention it at all. So I'm not going to mention it at all. So just know that there are claims of immense numbers of wounded and dead civilians and fighters but estimates of how many Hamas fighters they got is more like 20 percent and progress is slowing. So the suggestion is that Hamas is on the border of winning. Because for them not losing is winning. If they lost half of their fighters but stayed in power that's a win, right? Because they would have degraded Israel's reputation in the world. They don't care so much about their own deaths. That'd be a win. So if Israel is really only degraded 20 percent of the actual fighters that doesn't look like they're winning to me. What
