01:07:33.340Now that we understand that, when women like Sophie Rain and other girls advertise that they're making a bunch of money on OnlyFans, right?
01:07:42.140The average woman looks at that and says, oh, so you're telling me that I can take some pictures of my butthole and make $100,000 a month?
01:08:23.200Now, this is a very ugly reality that people don't like to accept, but it's very true.
01:08:27.260Now, the reason why women are lazy or they have a proclivity to be lazy is because a woman's sexual market value is not assessed by her productivity.
01:08:36.520I'm going to say that again for you niggas.
01:08:38.760I need you guys to really understand this shit.
01:08:43.620A woman's sexual market value is not assessed by her productivity.
01:08:49.520Her sexual market value is strictly physical based on her youth and beauty.
01:08:53.180Your value as a man is assessed by her productivity, okay?
01:08:58.940This is why a man that's a doctor has far more sexual market value than a woman that's a doctor.
01:09:06.980A man that's a doctor is going to have far more options than a woman that's a doctor.
01:09:11.360When women become successful and make money, doors close.
01:09:15.340When men become successful and make money, doors open.

01:45:35.200And they were absolutely destroying Israel with those things.
01:45:50.540Their high velocity combined with extreme maneuverability allows them to evade traditional radar tracking, making them a significant threat to modern air defense systems.
01:45:58.380Israel has invested billions into missile defense technology, including multi-layered systems designed to intercept a range of aerial threats.
01:46:04.400However, the introduction of hypersonic weapons adds a new level of uncertainty.
01:46:07.660Analysts suggest that the FEDA missile test may have been a calculated move by Oran to assess the response time and operational readiness of Israel's defensive network.
01:46:14.380Satellite images reportedly show unusual radar activity and missile tracking maneuvers during the time of the alleged test.
01:46:19.940Experts are now analyzing whether Israel's interceptor missiles could realistically counter a hypersonic trajectory.
01:46:25.700And that is precisely why, matter of fact, why we almost got into a nuclear war last time.
01:46:29.920Unfortunately, the Iron Dome, the David Sling, none of these air defense systems can actually stop these hypersonic missiles.
01:46:43.700Additionally, this test, if verified, sends a strategic message not only to Israel, but to the broader international community, signaling Iran's growing technological capabilities.
01:46:52.060The speed and shockwave impact of the missile have also sparked discussions about potential vulnerabilities in densely populated regions.
01:46:57.540Governments and think tanks are paying close attention, raising questions about how future conflicts might unfold with hypersonic weapons in play.
01:47:03.520As we continue, we'll break down technical specifications, expert predictions, and geopolitical ramifications.
01:47:08.400The FEDA missile is reportedly designed with advanced propulsion systems, allowing it to reach hypersonic speeds while maintaining precise targeting.
01:47:29.760Federal agents arrested a Pentagon analyst on Wednesday, accusing him of illegally disclosing highly classified information about possible attacks on American forces in Iraq to two employees of a pro-Israel lobbying group.
01:47:38.420Well, we know what that lobby group is.
01:47:40.100The analyst, Lawrence A. Franklin, turned himself in to authorities on Wednesday morning in a case that has stirred unusually anxious debate in influential political circles in the Capitol, even though it has focused on a mid-level Pentagon employee.
01:52:15.540And, you know, but what I was going to say is I saw that you had reported that they're literally naming the name of the operation that is imminent now at this point.
01:52:24.440Can you kind of give a quick little summary just for my audience so they know what the hell is going on with the latest when it comes to what's transpired in the last few hours with Iran and Israel?
01:52:34.320I mean, the latest from Israel's perspective is the Israeli Security Cabinet approved a military operation called Operation Iron Strike.
01:52:43.340Now, one assumes that that's pertaining to Iran, highly likely, because I-24 News, as you remember from our Fresh and Fit show, they're basically the arm of the Netanyahu government.
01:52:56.000They're the ones who were the first ones to report the lie about the beheaded babies.
01:52:59.480They are saying that there is a major event about to come very soon between Israel and Iran.
01:53:10.320And then in addition to that, you had Naftali Bennett basically post a video basically saying that, you know, the time has run out for the regime and that, you know, it's been the regime's been in place for 35 years and they're basically coming for them.
01:53:25.840So it seems like things are ramping up significantly and looks like war with Iran is imminent.
01:53:32.120I heard Ryan talking about the oil, which is actually a very interesting perspective when it comes to the Venezuelan thing.
01:53:38.480Ryan, I came at the end of what you were saying there.
01:53:40.420Do you mind just repeating it one more time for my audience?
01:53:42.100I've got a bunch of people here listening in.
01:54:09.780So what I was saying was this, and everyone listen to this, and I don't want to sound arrogant or anything, but I'm always right on this shit.
01:54:55.900It would cripple the global flow of oil, and so you can't, and Israel hasn't been allowed to have oil exports from Venezuela since 2009.
01:55:08.060It's been going on since Hugo Chavez, at least, and before.
01:55:10.780You have to take oil from somewhere, a replacement, before you move on Iran, and if you can secure Venezuelan oil, and you lift the sanctions, and you make trade with Israel viable again, then you can move against Iran and mitigate, not completely, but a large, one of their big weapons of you're going down with this, of closing the Strait of Hormuz.
01:55:37.620It doesn't have any fangs anymore if you can replace that oil long enough with oil from South America.
01:55:46.240And they knew that when they were shopping around, so that's why everyone was wondering why they suddenly now care about narco traffic from Venezuela.
01:56:04.560And I talked about that with everybody, how this was, they used the ruse of drug trafficking, right, to justify the invasion.
01:56:13.100But, you know, I'll go ahead and I'll talk about this because I didn't get a chance to tell you guys this last time and get my actual take on this invasion.
01:56:19.780Normally, right, when you're going to execute an arrest warrant, there's a lot of bureaucracy and a bunch of bullshit that goes into it, right?
01:56:25.760Getting funding to travel, notifying the other office that you're going to come in and effectuate an arrest in their AOR or their area of responsibility, etc.
01:56:33.840Like, to get funding to go travel across the country to go pick up a drug trafficker is hard enough, right?
01:56:41.080They got to fill out all these forms, do their travel, all this other stuff.
01:56:43.540The fact that the United States went ahead and did a complete invasion of a foreign country, mobilized all these military assets, right, to effectuate an arrest warrant is absolutely nuts.
01:56:55.460They spent hundreds of millions, if not billions of dollars, maybe a billion, even a billion dollars to mobilize all those aircraft carriers, mobilize all those helicopters, all those fighter jets, etc., to go pick up Maduro.
01:57:05.440They would never do that to pick up a drug trafficker.
01:57:08.400So when I saw them do that, I was like, okay, this is weird.
01:57:12.940When I saw them do that, I was like, okay, this is weird because they never would put this kind of effort to go pick someone else up.
01:57:19.260And the other red flag as well was, keep in mind, guys, Trump, when he came into office, the first thing he did was label Trendy Araguas as a terrorist organization.
01:57:29.300The reason why he designated them as a terrorist organization is because he realized that by labeling them a terrorist organization, he would be able to utilize the full weight of the intelligence agencies as well as the full weight of the military.
01:57:42.580Now you take drug traffickers, and they are now enemy combatants, okay?
01:57:46.680They went from drug traffickers to enemy combatants.
01:57:49.680That means you can kinetic strike their boats.
01:57:51.380That means you can disrupt and dismantle them utilizing signals intelligence.
01:57:54.760You can use the full weight of the NSA and the CIA, which normally would not be available to you in a traditional law enforcement investigation.
01:58:03.440But once you go ahead and designate them as an FTO, things open up.
01:58:07.840Now you can use the FISA courts, et cetera.
01:58:09.780Now when they came in and they did all the things that they did, right, under the ruse of it's a law enforcement operation, I was like, okay, if you really want to go after drug traffickers,
01:58:20.360going after Venezuela is like, you know, stopping a gunshot wound in your cav when if you really want to focus on drug trafficking, that's going to be like Mexico.
01:58:31.740Sixty percent of the U.S.'s drugs come in through Mexico.
01:58:34.720They don't – Venezuela is like a transit country at best, right?
01:58:38.040So if you really care about narco trafficking, you would designate the Sinaloa cartel or one of these other Mexican cartels as a terrorist organization.
01:58:45.380They just needed a ruse to get Maduro picked up, arrested, and they're saying, oh, yeah, it's because of criminal charges.
01:58:51.780And the other interesting thing people don't know or don't remember is that Maduro has been indicted for six years now at this point.
01:58:57.120They charged him under Trump administration one.
01:58:59.920So the fact that they're waiting six years to finally go pick him up, this was just a convenient, you know, indictment that they used to their advantage
01:59:07.740where they leveraged the entire military and intelligence community to go pick this guy up.
01:59:11.040And then they went ahead and said, oh, it's a law enforcement operation.
01:59:13.100If you guys notice, when they did their press conference yesterday, both Trump, Marco Rubio, and the commander – I don't think Pete Hex has said it –
01:59:22.260but they made a point to say the Department of Justice came in and we secured the arrest of these indicted individuals.
01:59:27.820They're indicted in the Southern District of New York, you know, all this other shit.
01:59:32.060Bruh, they used the indictments as an excuse to justify going in there without congressional approval, picking him up, and effectuating two different things.
01:59:41.200Number one, the regime change that they wanted, and then number two, putting in the puppet government that's going to come in under the female mercado or whatever her name is.
01:59:49.420So that – like the whole thing, it was not about drugs.
01:59:51.820If you care about drugs, you would go after the Mexicans.
01:59:53.760It's 100 percent about regime change and access to the resources and the oil.
01:59:57.260And Trump didn't even really, like, hide it when he was talking about it.
01:59:59.780He said, yeah, they have a lot of energy.
02:00:13.880Yeah, it's like they think we're stupid, you know what I mean?
02:00:16.800And it's like, dude, like it was never about the drugs.
02:00:19.420It was 100 percent about regime change and access to the resources.
02:00:23.360They just had to do their best to hide it.
02:00:25.520And then Ryan is giving a very good – because I didn't put that together that them – because here's the thing.
02:00:31.700You know, everyone talks about Iran shutting down the Strait of Hormuz, which I think something like 30 percent of the world's oil goes through there.
02:00:39.040If Iran shut down the Strait of Hormuz, though that would be a very crippling thing to do for the world because so much oil goes through there, that would also fuck up their allies like China.
02:00:48.620So what would – I mean, are we talking about doing like – would that be like their just – I guess their last hurrah right there, their suicidal run?
02:00:54.220Like – because they would hurt their allies in the process by doing that.
02:01:20.560I mean, Pakistan actually let them hide their air force there.
02:01:23.360But, I mean, Israel did a sneak attack and Trump did this stupid thing where he sent in Witkoff and stuff.
02:01:28.600He was like, we'll meet with you on Sunday.
02:01:30.080And then the Israelis attacked on Friday.
02:01:31.680But a lot of those tricks and a lot of the Israeli intel that they had in the country, assassinating scientists and blowing up air defense systems and stuff, they won't be able to do that play again.
02:01:45.720So the kind of like tricky thing that they pulled, they don't have.
02:01:50.520And even with all of that and the surprise attack and all every advantage you could imagine, the ballistic missiles still do their job.
02:01:58.420I mean, the Israelis can't stomach casualties and they have a very small area land wise.
02:02:04.240Because it is too expensive, even if you have the technical capability to intercept missiles, the, you know, return on investment just isn't there.
02:02:14.580It costs a lot more to defense than to play offense.
02:02:18.800And if you pull that timeline out, they're just going to run out of defense systems.
02:02:23.600And eventually they'd run out of missiles.
02:02:55.740From what I understand, it's oil reserve reserves.
02:02:57.840And wouldn't it take a while for the United States to build that up where it's actually usable?
02:03:04.420Because I know they're sitting on a bunch of reserves is the main is the main situation.
02:03:08.020From what I understand, a big reason why is because United Venezuela hasn't really been able to put that in a situation where it's actual usable.
02:03:16.720Well, I mean, someone if someone else can comment on that or whatever.
02:03:18.960But well, you wouldn't have to steal from the I mean, you could do steal the reserves.
02:03:24.420But prior to that, you just take the oil you were selling to China and other states and send it somewhere else.
02:05:05.780But don't you think it's strange how Maduro seems very happy?
02:05:08.740Just Matt, just on what you're saying, I do think that although it may not be the main reason, I do think that Elon does benefit significantly from Venezuela.
02:05:21.040And that's the reason why, if you remember, he was making, you know, the entire propaganda campaign on X in terms of the lies about the election.
02:05:27.760Until now, if you're saying Elon's reason for cheerleading it, that's different.
02:05:31.500But I'm saying the U.S.'s reason wasn't for the silver.
02:05:33.960I mean, that's just tertiary like nickel, maybe silver to a lesser extent.
02:05:55.140This is why, if you look at it, Elon calls Trump and says he's an Epstein list.
02:06:00.620And then now he's so excited about this overthrowing and he's gagging for the next one and the next one because he benefits more than anyone else.
02:06:07.960Basically, Elon's perspective is this.
02:06:09.160If a country does a deal with him, he's fine with that country.
02:06:12.420If a country doesn't do a deal with him, then he wants that country overthrown.
02:06:16.620To be clear, Ryan, you're dead on the money.
02:06:20.700And then, yeah, I think you're 100% on with the oil thing.
02:06:23.620I'm just saying these are other things that are weighing into it.
02:06:26.040I do find it interesting that Maduro seems very happy in all these photo ops.
02:06:29.520It just doesn't seem it seems very strange to me, almost like a deal was made ahead of time that he basically sold out the country and he's going to get some kind of sweetheart deal somehow or another.
02:06:39.960Or at least he thinks he is just like Saddam Hussein thought he was.
02:06:51.880And also, he was, I mean, the claim is, and I think there is probably some merit to this, that he was given a deal to go to Turkey and then he refused that deal.
02:07:01.420And also, you have to remember, like, Karakas is near the shore.
02:07:04.800So it's a lot easier to get in and out and to try and basically kidnap him.
02:07:07.960If there was more in country, it would have been a lot more harder.
02:07:32.500No, that's definitely an interesting position.
02:07:38.240So basically, it's to weaken Iran's leverage in the region when it comes to, because, I mean, a lot of people don't, like, you know, forget that Iran has a lot of oil, man.
02:08:53.320All right, so that makes sense because strategically, you know, Iran won't have the same leverage that it has in the world oil market with Venezuela being controlled.
02:09:04.300So because obviously we know that Mossad is provoking the general populace, right, with, you know, staging these protests and everything else like this and these agitators because this is the mistake that they made with Operation Rising Lines.
02:09:14.840They basically attacked the country without setting up, I guess, enough ground people to overthrow the government.
02:09:21.620It actually had the backwards effect where the people got behind the government even more so because they hated Israel more than the Ayatollah.
02:09:28.200So how would an attack go around this way?
02:09:30.960Because they don't have the same Mossad assets in place where they can do a strike like a strike like this.
02:09:35.900And I know Iran's picked up some air defense.
02:09:37.640They've improved their defense significantly.
02:09:38.860So I'm actually very interested to see what an attack on Iran would be like now.
02:09:44.120Well, that's why this time they need the U.S.
02:10:38.600That's an interesting point, because I saw one of his interviews recently and he said it like all Iran's assets are actually pointed at U.S. assets.
02:10:45.880They're not pointed at Israeli assets like we think.
02:11:52.760Some people in my chat were mentioning it.
02:11:54.140Once you say there is a lot of psychological, psychological operations occurring, and that's just an example of it, as well as them lying about the what you call it again, the protests in order to make it look like that there are people of Iran protesting when we know in reality they're not.
02:12:24.260Based on what Ryan was saying, we need the Venezuelan oil before we invade them because they're going to shut down the Strait of Hormuz.
02:12:33.840So if that's really the chess piece you're moving, don't you want to actually get it like pumping and flowing and like in action before you actually cut off the other tributary?
02:12:42.760Basically, you cut off one blood before the other was pumping.
02:13:05.140They blew up air defense and they blew up military sites when they when they did the invasion to make sure that the, you know, the helicopters and everything can get in without getting shot down.
02:13:25.440The White House has been tight-lipped about that.
02:13:29.280I've not seen any reports unless someone can clarify or differentiate in between civilians and military personnel, but the numbers are close to 100.
02:13:41.020The general, the commander, when he was speaking at the press conference, he said, yeah, you know, as we engage, as the helicopters entered in, they started shooting us, so we engaged them in self-defense.
02:13:50.540And I was like, bro, you guys fucking invaded them.
02:14:07.300No, they're liberating them for their freedom and their democracy.
02:14:11.300It's just amazing to me how, like, you know, so many people, and this is kind of the thing that sucks when it comes to, like, a lot of Americans.
02:14:17.360They're very stupid, and they don't, like, they would buy that line of, like, commentary.
02:14:22.820Like, oh, yeah, and self-defense, we retaliated fire.
02:22:21.900That's a good point, too, because they really can't attack Iran until the U.S. mobilizes, you know, the assets in an appropriate place.
02:22:30.140Because, I mean, at the worst, the United States is going to play a pivotal role in Israel's ability to shoot down these rockets that come in.
02:22:37.920So, like, yeah, they have to move those assets in certain areas and remove everything.
02:24:04.420But right now, already, there's been a significant amount of deployment of U.S. aircrafts, which have moved towards Europe already over the last 24 hours.
02:24:15.320So, already, the first process of this kind of placement of aircrafts, and then later it will be carriers and so on and so forth, is already happening.
02:25:13.300And I just don't see the United States not coming and doing everything they can to protect the Israelis.
02:25:18.400And, I mean, I don't know if you heard about this, Ryan.
02:25:20.040And there was talks that Israel literally threatened to use a nuclear bomb on the last go-around if the United States did not intervene and bomb the nuclear facilities because they were getting pummeled by those rockets.
02:25:30.200Which is interesting because American media didn't report any of that.
02:25:32.940American media was reporting it like, oh, yeah, the Israelis have air superiority.
02:25:54.060He went on a podcast and he literally said, from his sources, the Israelis threatened to use a nuclear weapon on Iran if we did not step in and intervene.
02:26:00.200Which makes sense because, you know, war with Iran was completely against the base.
02:26:04.700Like, none of us that voted for Trump won a war with Iran.
02:26:08.460So, a lot of people turned on him when he said that he might bomb them and he might not.
02:26:11.700That's why he was so ambiguous leading up to them striking Fordow.
02:26:15.260So, I do think that I don't put it past the Israelis to threaten using a nuclear bomb.
02:26:40.300Just on the oil thing, because right now we've got the Venezuela and China situation.
02:26:46.320We've seen the United States of America take over Venezuela.
02:26:49.960China takes a large amount of oil from Iran.
02:26:53.440If this war was to happen, hypothetically, if Iran, just go with this hypothetical, because I know your position is slightly different on this, Simon.
02:27:00.540But hypothetically, if Iran was to lose, as an example, where would that leave China in terms of the procurement of oil?
02:27:10.900So, they don't have it from Venezuela no more.
02:27:39.720You've got the bit that goes through Amman, so it requires – so, like, there's a – you know, you've got – and then, obviously, Iranian interests.
02:27:49.580So, to practically shut off the Strait of Hormuz, it requires cooperation and coordination from all parties.
02:28:00.840Otherwise, it just ends up in some kind of naval fighting match.
02:28:17.560So, you could do a – you could do – you can make it where, you know, kind of like the Red Sea type of thing.
02:28:22.160It's not – not necessarily a blockade because it's blockading certain parts but letting other parts through.
02:28:27.480So, but then ports are closed in Israel, so the insurance cost gets crazy and then all the additional costs of having to travel all around Africa and that type of stuff.
02:28:38.060So, yeah, you could do a – you could do a financial blockade.
02:28:42.740But in terms of a physical blockade, I don't quite see how it works.
02:28:46.940Now, the biggest issue that it was last time was – yeah, so it would be – if Iran did it, then it would be very harmful to China.
02:28:58.960But what we saw in this Venezuelan operation is that China knew about this in advance because they started to move –
02:29:07.600ANAS, who covers, like, the lots of different oil flows, he was saying that they were making moves as if they knew exactly what was going to happen in Venezuela.
02:29:14.580So, to me, what happened in Venezuela seemed like it was coordinated amongst Russian powers, Chinese powers, American powers.
02:29:24.840And I personally believe and I speculate that Maduro would have agreed to whatever comes next.
02:29:31.400So, I think this was a managed position as opposed to a price – sorry, as opposed to something that was a surprise.
02:29:40.720If you're looking at the markets right now, the oil futures are expecting a drop in oil, maybe around 56 is what the oil futures – the markets interpreting this as bullish in terms of S&P and risk on assets going up right now in terms of the futures market.
02:30:00.300And the market that's open on the market and the market that's open on the weekend, Bitcoin's up, which is normally a leading indicator for how the market will interpret this.
02:30:09.900So, you know, if you look at Iraq, like, you can compare that.
02:30:15.480The price of oil in 2003 was about $25 at its low, and it went to $149 at its peak throughout the whole duration of the Iraqi war.
02:30:29.960So, if we're imagining that Iran would be something similar to Iraq, which I don't see that.
02:30:37.700I think this would just be some quick operation, some quick agreed outcome, similar to, like, the 12-day war type of thing, and then moving on.
02:30:48.400But if we're seeing something like Iraq, it would be really interesting here because you've got the belief around Venezuela.
02:30:56.860Now, America, Chevron and Exxon, they can't actually increase the oil production with about billions and billions of investments.
02:31:07.560So, that's like a three- to five-year project, and they're already, you know, releasing about a million barrels.
02:31:15.920What's interesting is I believe Chevron still wants to sell this oil to China.
02:31:19.860So, I don't think this is about restricting oil from China because the flow of money in Venezuela is that it's going right from China via Chevron, and the sanctions prevented it going to the Venezuelan government.
02:31:34.780And so, it was coming right back into U.S. stock market, you know, and that flow already existed.
02:31:42.920So, really, incrementally over the next few years, this Venezuela stuff doesn't really change too much, but it allows for massive money printing so the American people can pay and an investment back in.
02:32:01.420So, those are like what the financial flows.
02:32:03.140So, you've got kind of the oil price down as a result of the interpretation of the Venezuelan stuff.
02:32:11.200And then if this were to escalate towards something in Iran, if the market were believing that this was Iraq 2.0, then you'd expect oil to go up significantly.
02:32:22.420And if the Strait of Hormuz were to be completely disrupted and lead to massive insurance premiums and stuff like that, this would be very, very disruptive to all global markets and all oil price.
02:32:37.460Trump needs the price of oil to keep going down.
02:33:12.860So, they've been completely preparing for this.
02:33:16.460And they've actually started to become comparable to OPEC.
02:33:20.360So, now you've got a situation where, you know, you've got OPEC, you've got China, and you've got America plus Venezuela that are all able to influence the price of oil.
02:33:31.740So, if you get something that happens in Iran, this doesn't stop.
02:33:36.540You know, China could choke Iran and cause massive disruption economically.
02:33:54.140So, but personally, I think that Iran has the relationships with BRICS.
02:33:59.800And even I think the Gulf countries know how disruptive this is, that they're kind of, they've kind of signed off on some kind of regional stability plan that means I don't think they'll allow this disruption that will be so counter.
02:36:37.180I mean, I think the biggest concern on this is, in terms of what Simon said, I mean, this would be detrimental to the world if this was to be elongated.
02:36:47.460So, it's going to be just interesting in terms of what happens.
02:36:52.960But there's definitely these moves that are occurring to cause this color revolution for sure.
02:36:57.740Don't you think it's odd that the press is not asking the now president why she said this was a Zionist attack?
02:37:07.440And don't you think it's odd that instead of a national press conference or anything, Trump announced this whole thing on Truth Social with a post?
02:38:11.520That's the reason, that's the whole aim of South America is these attempt to basically control South America and make sure they're pro-Israel.
02:38:22.320And Venezuela and Colombia and Bolivia are not.
02:38:26.320And so, we'll see, because it's in the crosshairs.
02:39:08.040Simon, just coming to you in terms of, do you want to add anything in terms of just general analysis?
02:39:13.920I know I kind of pigeoned you in to try and ask from that perspective, but just from your own perspective.
02:39:18.640Yeah, what I think that we're witnessing right now is what appears to be chaos leading to World War III, but the very opposite is happening.
02:39:31.260I see more territorial settlements than I think we've ever seen before, and we see a bunch of theatre to leverage negotiations,
02:39:41.900and the world's just being completely split up into spheres of influence.
02:39:46.840So, you know, the fact that we're having so much at once, I actually see as, you know, incredibly positive, even though it's absolutely chaotic.
02:40:05.180You know, or it appears like the new flow is completely chaotic.
02:40:09.440So, you know, the Iran side, I think in the next few months, we're going to know exactly where the world stands on that,
02:40:20.640and what the regional vision for the Middle East is going to be.
02:40:25.960And you can see, you know, like these very dramatic operations, but then lead to quick solutions, and then a clearly defined sphere of influence.
02:40:38.200So, in Yemen, you had the whole Saudi, UAE felt very theatrical, and then suddenly UAE comes out, everyone tries to make a load of drama around it,
02:40:50.520and then suddenly Saudi has marked its territory, and that dispute seems to be over.
02:40:56.660We then get the recognition of Somaliland by Israel.
02:41:01.040UAE is the one that has all the biggest investments in Somaliland.
02:41:04.660And then at the same time, Turkey and Somalia, you know, Turkey has the biggest interest in Somalia.
02:41:13.640And so you're seeing the regional powers, and then suddenly we do get these organic, I think they were organic protests in Iran due to genuine economic dissatisfaction.
02:41:27.000And then obviously they start getting infiltrated, and the opportunists come along, and then suddenly...
