Our Foreign Policy…No Plan. No Endgame.
(00:01.01)
Foreign policy has, sorry, there’s no plan. There’s no plan. No, no policy. There’s no plan. There’s no end game. And that’s where we’re at right now. And it’s sad. It’s Team America, World Police was that comedic puppet movie was pretty dirty, done by the South Park folks years and years and years ago. And we’re taking it to ridiculous levels.
and our involvement here, there, and everywhere. Yesterday, you got the President of the United States giving a speech from the Oval Office, basically putting forward $105 billion request, $105 billion. The breakdown, $60 billion more for Ukraine, $14 billion for Israel.
14 billion for border security, 10 billion for humanitarian aid, 7 billion for Indo-Pacific region, Taiwan. Okay, let’s go through this. Ukraine. What is the plan? What is the end game there? That was basically the bulk of Biden’s speech, was talking about Ukraine. What is the end game?
(01:28.018)
Are we going to keep sending money from now until attorney? Because he didn’t address that. He gave all this rah rah, we’re America, we can do anything, and we got to support democracy here and there and everywhere. They’re not running a democracy right now in Ukraine, in case you haven’t been paying attention. I know the media doesn’t talk about this.
But they’re not. Opposing political parties have been banned. Opposing political leaders have been arrested. Ukrainian lawmakers right now are voting to ban the Ukrainian Orthodox Church at this point in time because they’re afraid they’re too tied to the Russian Orthodox Church. So we’re banning religions right now and Ukraine as well. I’m not making this up.
This is actually taking place. Is it being discussed on any of these programs? No, no, nobody wants to delve that deep into any of this stuff, do they? Anyway, it has been some pushback from some lawmakers in regards to this, but $60 billion for the Ukraine, yep. Again, no plan, no end game, because $60 billion is not gonna cut the mustard. What happens?
What is going to happen? This is a question. What happens when the $60 billion runs out? Is the $60 billion, the $60 billion, is that gonna, we give them that money, now they’re gonna beat Russia? Does anybody actually believe that in their right mind? That the $60 billion, another $60 billion we’ve already given over a hundred billion, that additional $60 billion is gonna push them over the edge.
No plan.
(03:22.474)
No end game. 14 billion for Israel. I’m sorry, I’m gonna get blowback. Why?
(03:34.862)
Israel is a very wealthy country. They have a per capita GDP of over $50,000. Okay, is their per capita GDP. Now again, if you want to loan them the money, okay.
Okay, but again, this is a rich country, it’s a wealthy country. So now we’re going to give them $14 billion. And I’m saying right now for what? What is their plan? What is their end game? I know they’ve said, you know, we’re going to, you know, going to kill all of the Hamas leadership and go after them.
(04:25.318)
lengthy piece today, you know, going, reading a lot in regards to what they’re going to encounter when they go into the West Bank and the type of fighting that this is gonna be. I mean, I knew that they had, you know, all sorts of tunnels here, there, and everywhere, but it’s massive. It’s massive, the amount of tunnels that they’ve been working on.
right now. Some are under the ground by over 200 feet. There is going to be an enormous amount of death and destruction. The subterranean labyrinth below the Gaza Strip, Gaza Strip is 25 miles long and 8 miles wide. To put that into perspective, the island of Manhattan is what?
Uh, about five miles wide. It’s what it’s in about 11 miles long. The, um, the tunnels extend for 500 miles. Like they say, there’s some tunnels are more than 200 feet underground. They can withstand bombardment from above. They’re equipped with lights, storage rooms, supplies, weapons. The members of a mosque can stay underground for days, if not for
weeks. And I got a sinking suspicion that probably a lot of the hostages are probably being held down there. You know, you could think, okay, you could gas them out or whatever it may be, not if the hostages are down there. How does Israel win? I don’t see any other way outside of leveling the entire.
Gaza Strip and are they willing to do that?
(06:24.302)
Um, I don’t know. I mean, I’m almost at this point in time thinking you’re almost better off. Serious. I mean, you want to hit the various different spots. You want to use intelligence, build up your border security. Cause obviously it wasn’t good enough. It obviously wasn’t good enough. Uh, the way that they attack. I mean, that can’t happen again. Okay. I mean, I have people try to use gliders that come, I, they should be shot out of the sky.
But I don’t know what the answers are here. I don’t know what their plan is, their end game is. But again, we’re gonna be giving them, if Biden gets what he wants, $14 billion. It’s also thrown in here. Okay, and I don’t understand this. What is this going to be used for? It says $14 billion for border security. Does that mean that $14 billion is gonna make its way?
to sanctuary cities, to continue to house people that can’t work, that can’t do a damn thing. What is it, what are you saying when it comes to border security? We’re not changing the policy. In fact, some of the Democrats even talked about that. You had some pushback from Republicans saying, hey, listen, we’ve got to change the policy here. He said, oh, no, we can’t discuss that right now. It’s going to be too confusing. So you’re going to continue to let people come into the country.
Okay, you’re gonna give them, you know, okay, show up for court dates seven years from now. What do you mean 14 billion for border security? Explain what it’s being spent on. Explain it. I don’t, for what? As I said, it’s like throw in more money at the Baltimore school districts or in failed school districts. It’s gonna do nothing. It’s not gonna change any of the outcomes. Basically, when I see this $14 billion is gonna be bailing out cities.
gonna be bailing out New York City, gonna bail out Chicago, bailing out all of these blue states right now that are upset because they’ve got all of these migrants there.
(08:29.922)
Am I wrong? And they’re gonna call it border security.
10 billion for humanitarian aid for, and they don’t really specify. I suppose you’re supposed to go to Gaza, that there’s been some issues today in regards to getting the trucks through from Egypt and Israel and how they’re gonna be inspected. I don’t know if any of this humanitarian aid is gonna make its way over to the Ukraine. And then $7 billion for the Indo-Pacific region. Again, on what? Does that mean we’re just, you know,
Again, we’re sending more weapons to Taiwan. Maybe. Again, does anybody think that sending $7 billion in, let’s say, that’s what it is, $7 billion in aid and missiles to Taiwan is going to stop China?
Yeah, as much as 60 billion dollars is going to stop Russia. It’s good. We have no plan. We have no endgame. Some good points actually made actually the VEC Ramaswami was being interviewed by Tucker Carlson and talking about, you know, how do we how do we avoid ending up in World War three?
Um, again, um, it’s easy to imagine several other nations getting pulled into the conflict between Israel and Hamas. Those countries would include Russia, Iran, Turkey, China, Saudi Arabia, the Gulf states and possibly many more. And Ramaswamy points to something that I point out again and again and again. You have to remember. How, you know, so the mistakes we’ve made.
(10:28.05)
in our own past and that’s an understatement. Okay. 20, 25 years after 9-11, the trillions of dollars that were spent on wars in Iraq and Afghanistan for what?
For what? We could have, all we needed to do is just beat the shit out of Al Qaeda in Afghanistan. That’s all we needed to do. We spent trillions of dollars there, left with our tail between our legs, leaving all of our weapons there that are now being used in other conflicts all over the world, more than likely against us.
We’re like fools for crying out loud.
And this is true too. Part of how we ended up there was in the era after 9-11. Oh, I remember it well. I remember it well. See, I shut the hell up. Okay, no debate at all. Department of Homeland Security set that up. Ah, we still got the war authorization is still in place today, basically allowing the president to send our military anywhere without a vote in Congress. Shut up.
sit down and do as you’re told. Go along with the plan. I’m sorry, people. It’s too fresh in our minds. We cannot be that stupid again.
(12:00.146)
Same mentality is taking place right now.
Same thing, okay? If you offer any sort of other opinion, or you try to, or you try to have any sort of debate, no, shut up.
Ramezwami suggested that Israel needs to have a solid plan if they’re eventually going to invade Gaza. Let’s just go step by step in terms of where we are. Israel mounts a ground invasion into Gaza, doesn’t have a clearly defined goal, but they’ve mounted that ground invasion. That crosses a red line that Hezbollah has previously identified, saying that that’s their red line for attacking Israel. And this might be exactly when Israel is mired in a ground conflict in Gaza, which…
could be a trap. And it could. Do you not think that most of Gaza’s probably booby-trapped to high heaven at this point in time? Look at what they just pulled off. Look what they were just capable of doing. They were using drones that you could buy at the store, dropping grenades on communications points. I mean, it was a well-designed plan. You don’t think that they have anything else in mind?
Anyway, networks kilometers upon kilometers of tunnels, a lot of traps they could walk into. And if Hezbollah strikes at Israel, the United States will undoubtedly be dragged into a wider conflict like we always are, because we just, we can’t help ourselves. We can’t help ourselves. The elephant in the room is the West’s lack of clearly defined objectives, without which there could be chaos.
(13:49.462)
This is a time to have a clearly defined objective. Instead, we get histrionics from the likes of Lindsey Graham, Nikki Haley, Mike Pence, offering histrionics at a time when we could use actual strategy. And Tucker replied to, it is amazing that we get a moral lecture from people who’ve so diminished our country and who are responsible for the deaths of so many Americans lecturing you from some high horse.
Ramaswamy continues, what’s a better alternative to the plan as it currently exists, which is a non plan, an invasion of Gaza without a clear objective. We seem to analyze the mosquitoes on the elephant’s tail without talking about the actual elephant. So to avoid a World War III, Israel and the West as a whole need to clearly define a plan that will minimize a broader regional conflict. Again, are we talking about that? Did the president?
present any sort of plan. I mean, he goes on TV and he’s asking, he’s asking the American taxpayers for billions and billions and billions of dollars we don’t have. We just don’t have it. I know he seems to think that we do. A guy gives these raw America America, greatest most powerful country, most powerful country in the entire world. We can do whatever we want.
Um, no, you can’t do whatever. I mean, have we not proven time and time again that we cannot do whatever we want? I, we got some sort of, you know, complex here. Um, I’d be like, Joe, I know you’re president of the United States, but we’ve been getting our ass kicked for a long time. Long time. We’ve been getting our ass kicked again. Again, we can do whatever we want. Really? How’d that, how, how’s that worked out?
Okay, it’s a comparison, acting like the New York Yankees are acting now. This is not 1998. Okay, not the dynasty years. We can’t do, we can’t win, whatever. We don’t make the world, we don’t make the playoffs. Okay, we’re losing again and again. We can’t do whatever we want. We are in a weakened position as a country. We’re 33 trillion dollars in debt.
(16:19.71)
Right now the world’s changing. People aren’t buying our bonds like they used to. The interest rates are rising. It’s gonna cost a hell of a lot more.
to finance all of our profligate spending. Interest rates have gone up.
(16:39.207)
Are these not things that we need to take as a society, as a country, into consideration?
But no, more Team America, World Police BS. Watchdog on wallstreet.com.
