i it is because i like going back to what you you said in in the beginning there like this entire system is like the extractivism, which greases the petrodollars, which, you know, this flow that kept everything going, right? That's what Ali Qadri talks about as the accumulation of waste, right? So not only are you like wasting the environment in the extractivist sense, right? And the entire system is based on that, but the imperial power is...

Hannah EidGUEST
kept afloat by de-developing and taking away the sovereignty from the Gulf, let's say, and the lower lifespans in places like Gaza and Yemen are directly in a relationship with the profits of the tech companies and the military companies in the West.

Hannah EidGUEST
The accumulation of waste is also premised on wasting life in the places where the massive amounts of extraction of value and capital are happening.

Hannah EidGUEST
The fact that this system was premised on that itself, it's a fragile system, as you said, but then the remarkable ability of Iran, Yemen, the Palestinian resistance, Hezbollah, iraqi resistance um to upend this because i mean after after the the the 90s and and the the um you know forced dissolution of the soviet union and this kind of like unipolar american moment of the 90s like they really did put all their eggs in one basket in a sense because like you know, the UN General Assembly is going on right now and like, you know, coked out Zelensky is up there like, you know, saying that like they're going to beat Russia.

Hannah EidGUEST
And then, you know, during COVID and like the first rounds of the war in Ukraine and then Al-Aqsa flood, like South Korea was like out of ammunition and and taiwan is like my the point i'm trying to make is that like the all these other satellites um apart from the the zionist entity are in no better position they're actually in a much worse position than than the zionists uh who still have that ability to you know use their massive arsenal, but even that is dwindling.

Hannah EidGUEST
And so like, you know, the whole basing strategy, the high tech capital intensive warfare, the petrodollar scheme, all of that has been exposed at the same time that like you also have internal opposition inside the West growing to the austerity and these neoliberal policies, people can't afford groceries, gas, any of it.
