3 min
Tim recaps the chaotic run of events from Trump's first win through Covid, Biden's decline, assassination attempts, and now drones and China tensions, wondering if it's all connected.
- Tim hopes Trump can bring peace but doubts how that would work without reopening communication channels that Biden closed.
- The National Security State figures like Blinken and Sullivan take orders from unknown people above them, pursuing consensus geopolitical goals without public knowledge.
- Overthrowing Assad was a long-standing strategic goal for the US and Israel despite the instability that followed.
- After removing Assad, the Taliban and Al-Qaeda moved into Syria, leaving no good Western Democratic options in the region.
- Iran was surprisingly progressive before the US and Britain orchestrated a coup, a historical mistake that gives them reason to resent America.
- The recent drone sightings turn out to be out-of-focus stars, not a foreign threat.
- Tim concludes the drone panic is overblown—everything's fine except for the Syria situation Biden created.
