0:00 You know, if you tell most people, like, "Hey, why do you have all that money sitting in your bank account? It's going to just wither away cuz of inflation." They're like, "Huh?" >> [laughter] >> Right? But, if you go, "Bad guy! Ooh, we got to ████ the ████ up!" Welcome back to Careful Boys. So, the United States has started a war with Iran. Wow. >> [laughter] >> Wow, it's happened. >> Yeah. And I ran, I ran so far. Oh, wait. A A A. Dude, there's so many things going on right now, but I wonder if we're going to get troops on the ground. That's what I'm scared of the most. What do you mean? Like, There are troops on this ground? >> Boots on the ground, our troops. >> Oh, our our our >> So, cuz it's just missiles back and forth right now, right? >> Well, no, the latest latest latest is that the Kurds have now gone in.

0:51 Right? Like, there are now Kurds forces on the ground. But, like, What's a Kurd? >> See, people think about cheese when they hear Kurds. Yeah, so there's The Kurdish people. >> Kurdish people. So, in Iraq, there's the Shiites, there's the Sunnis, and there's the Kurds. The Kurds are the most USA-friendly because I don't know why anymore cuz we screwed them over so many times, but the Kurds are considered friendly to the United States government, and they are more like aligned with our interests, I suppose, because we have given them so much money over the years. So, they're seen as CIA assets or government assets. >> So, they're they stepped foot in Iran on our behalf? They are not in Iran yet. They're in um um um um Syria. Other one. Kuwait? >> No. Other one. Those are the ones that I'm 40 now, but >> Madagascar? Mad- membrane hamsters. No, it's um >> Uh Syria? No, hang on. I'll I'll find

1:41 it. >> Universal Studios? >> Wait, are you talking about the BCCC countries? Like, the UAE? >> Yes. Oh, cuz they're hitting them. >> Oh, Bahrain. Exactly. >> Bahrain, Qatar, Iran. I think they're called the BCC or some ████ something like that. But, it's the it's the they're a coalition of Saudi Arabia, UAE, Bahrain, Qatar. >> Oh, oh, LIV Golf. Yeah, the LIV Golf community. >> Basically, they're not in yet, but they're basically they're being lined up to go in right now. That's the latest latest latest. Cuz when we did the strike, the US did the strike, boom boom, took out Soleimani, all this stuff. Um that's when they did the strikes on US bases in the neighboring countries. Qatar, badabada badabada. And in that Austin shooter, they're claiming that that was a sleeper cell in from Iran, but I don't know. It just might just it

2:31 might be a like a solo agent. >> to hear some crazy ████ So, I follow like this like I think spy page or some ████ And I think spy page or some ████ >> know how they market it. Good start. But there was an Iran a team of Iran defectors. So, they abandoned like I don't want to be on Iran's team, right? And then Iran of course is like, well, if you're going to ████ leave us, we're going to ████ kill your ass. And they tracked these guys to Canada to erase their uh association with their assassination. They hired uh Hells Angels uh British of Columbia chapter to kill those ████ I forgot what the head the dollar amount per head count was. But I'm like, that's crazy that they even know who Hells Angels are. And the

3:22 fact that they have like this global network of the underworld is ████ insane. One of the craziest things about this war for me has been seeing how sophisticated Iran actually is. Because what they did at first, from my understanding of how things have laid out so far, and there's a lot of BS out there. So, maybe I just uh ate up all the BS, too. But so, the United States attacks Iran. Iran starts to fire a bunch of drones at, you know, our defense like the Iron Dome and all that stuff. And so, they're very cheaply firing these drones that cost them nothing compared to what we spend on missiles. And then, they wait until we're depleted at for what we can use for it for defense. And then, they fire hypersonic missiles. >> Oh, that's the real ████ >> Real ████ And that's been ████ things up big time. >> On our US bases over there. >> Yes, because they're depleting our

4:13 munitions and ability to defend ourselves, and then using the real ████ later. That is pretty good strategy. >> Did Did you see that thing where like they I don't know if it's real because again, I'm eating ████ too, probably. But there was like a video of how they had painted Oh, yeah. Air Air crafts on the ground, and we were bombing like drawings. Bombing and then I guess they tallied it, and they basically spent 5 million munitions on paintings on the ground. Well, the thing about Iran is that they've been getting they've been ready for decades. Like they knew that it was going to happen at any moment. So, they're ready for us to invade. They also made sure cuz we took out uh Khamenei, right? They They made sure to uh tell their leadership in their military, like that's spread out all over Iran, which is massive. By the way, Iran's huge.

5:03 Um you're in charge of your own sector, which basically they call that like a mosaic defense strategy where like you you don't you're not getting orders from the from the top. You're getting orders from like the cat next to you. >> How much resources do they get from the top if they >> That's I don't know. But But they're also doing this thing too, where they're burying their missile sites. So, these are dormant missile sites that aren't detected, and then they'll just launch. So, how do you defend from that? Cuz like you could see a missile battery, for example, but you can't see just like underground ████ But their real power is um the geography. Like shout outs to Professor Jang. He explained in thorough, like why that US is going to fail in terms of like they're going to lose this war. Wow. >> And the way that he described it by

5:53 using past examples of military operations. And he was like, we're like the Roman Empire where we're a bit too or no, the Athenians where we're a bit too cocky right now because we just had a win with Venezuela and all this stuff. And he goes, but like if you want a regime change in Iran, we have to have boots on the ground to come in, take over it, and then establish a new government. But he goes, that's going to be hella difficult because of the way Iran is shaped is like it's hella hills like Afghanistan. So they'll go up into their defense and the reason why we couldn't take on Afghanistan was that reason, the same reason, right? And in the US, logistically, you know, like even your supply. So it's like if you can't get supplies, you're done. Yeah. So there's no supply routes. You could drop off uh your your your your troops in the in the isolated mountains. If you have no

6:44 logistics, they can't get food, they can't get anything. So it'll just be like an exhausting kind of >> Attrition warfare. Right. We're just at the We're just at the ████ sea just waiting it out. And they're like, we're locals. We could wait the We could wait this ████ out. But he was talking about how like there's so many differences like in the So the US, our morale right now is like the rhetoric is kind of no war, right? You got the right and the left still going like, why are we doing this? >> Yeah, no military industrial complex. 20 years ago though, when we were about ████ terrorism, easily everybody would have been like, we're going to go get these ████ you know, we're going to go get these guys. Um but now it's so different and then the type of people who's joining the military now, they're in it for the checks. They're not there to kill. It's a different kind of

7:34 morale, right? But home turf guys, what he was talking about is like we're getting the Western propaganda of hey, these guys don't like their government. They're going through a lot of protests and whatever. And then we also hear from American Persians or Iranians, right? Like they're like happy about it. So we have this image of we're going to spread democracy. We're going to liberate them. But home turf guys, they go look at what they did to Iraq. Iraq is destroyed. They never brought democracy there. They never made it better. They're like it's a fight till the death. Cuz they're going to come here, they're going to destroy Iran. They're going to take the oil and they're not going to give us the democracy. >> Well, what they did was a propaganda campaign in Iraq. Purple fingers, they're voting, they're choosing for themselves, and that was just like a propaganda campaign. It wasn't reality.

8:25 And then look at what happened. They let ISIS come in and destroy Iraq, right? It took Russia to come in and destroy ISIS to clean it up, but we didn't ████ we a lot of people would argue we made ISIS, too. But also, I heard we pulled out of Iraq, but then a bunch of you know, our bases just got bombed in Iraq, and that's where a bunch of our service people just got killed. So that's the joke of it, too, is like they they claim we got pulled out. I think most American people, if you walked up to them on the street with a microphone, and you went, "Are US forces in Iraq?" they would say, "No." Because Biden famously pulled them out. So we thought. But obviously, we keep bases there so that we can continue pressure on Iran. Yeah, we never completely left like Afghanistan. >> No, no. Yeah. But that's the part where I think people don't know what's the what's next for the US and what are the how are they going to react. >> Well, let's talk too about So recently,

9:16 Marco Rubio came out and he did a little oopsie. He had a little oopsie daisies where he said why they started this war. He said um Israel >> We knew that Israel was going to go in, and if we didn't if we didn't join them, we were going to get counterattacked. Basically saying like By who? By Israel? By Iran. Because Iran would start to bomb our bases in retaliation. Against Israel. >> Against Israel. Exactly. So, they knew Israel was going in. >> Right now how they bombed a bunch of other bases, but they're really a targeting US bases in other countries. They wanted [snorts] to target Israel and America. Yes, but Jon Stewart said that we're that um it's just a big bar fight. And Iran just started swinging at everybody like Bahrain. But like they're not swinging at Bahrain like that. They're they're firing at US bases that are based in Bahrain. I think America,

10:08 even without Israel, has good uh motive that they're not telling people, which is the China motive. So, like the Venezuelan oil ████ right? Like we can't even have access to that, but they did it because they were blocking China from accessing that oil. They're about to do a deal. So, they're like, "Boom. Let's restrict them." Part two is Iran gives They make hell of money trading oil to China. So, then if you restrict that, then you restrict China's ability to get any oil. And you And you protect Taiwan that way, right? >> Yeah. Is it really about the global currency? There I think there's multi It's multi-faceted, but like I think oil's a big one, and there's a mineral and AI kind of tech race right now. >> Cuz wasn't that oil deal supposed to be under the Chinese currency? Which one? >> They did a few >> The Venezuela The Venezuela oil one. >> did a few, yeah. I thought they were

10:58 going to like buy and sell under the yuan or whatever. >> Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Oh, the one that they were meeting about. >> they blocked was was going to be done under James Douglas were there while the attack happened. >> Yeah, yeah. It's one of those things where I think like a lot of things can be true at the same time. Okay, can we can we get layman's terms real quick? Let's say we successfully do whatever the ████ the real reason for us going to war with Iran is, what's the positive outcome for us? I don't really think Okay, if I'm if I'm going to put on that hat, I would say you you can dis- disable Iran's ability to launch terror attacks in that region. Sure. That's one of them. Right. >> The other one would be like it strengthens the dollar, right? Oh, yeah. >> Yeah, it has to. >> if you By way of what? Oil? Oil, not having uh yuan be the global Like you know the whole >> So, the de-dollar- de-dollarization thing is slowed down.

11:48 >> And you weaken China because China got oil from the Iran and Venezuela. >> Just forcing more countries to trade under USD. We're like dismantling the whole BRICS concept. And then the other one I think is uh in fighting inflation because we keep printing money. We need to send money to other places to have like for wars. >> Absolutely. As like a inflation >> That was a crazy freaking concept. Well, dude, every time we've had a war, you can grow the economy that way. >> We've been doing it We've been doing that for a while. >> to like burn money. It's crazy. Yeah. >> That's why the meme is like here's what's backing the dollar and it's always pictures of our our like aircraft carriers. >> Yeah, cuz the scarcity has to come back. >> Yeah, the less competition we have economically with anyone, the better it is for the citizens of that country that benefits. And again, this is probably so naive, but that version of truth isn't

12:41 doesn't merit better with the general public of America versus the narrative of like we need to spread democracy because it's authoritarian. >> public doesn't even know what the hell half of those things are. >> The general public is seeing the women dancing doing the Trump dance right now and they're At least the people who who think it's tight, they're all spreading that. I had I was like on my timeline, I was like, I cannot believe people are doing this again, but they are. Like it's It reminds me of Iraq. >> The facade of spreading freedom, right? That that propaganda happened during the Cold War. So, after World War II, when we started fighting communism, the the the whole common like goal was we need to liberate these communist countries. And I And I understood how that worked as the narrative back then because it was like really easy to believe that. Now I feel like it's so clear that

13:31 that's not >> Yeah. It's it's more it's more clear now that like it these are moves for the oligarchy and hopefully there's a trickle down that helps us in some way. >> And for Israel primarily. >> But when we say us in general, we're talking about the GDP who that has nothing to do with the average >> Still feels like the public narrative is about like some version of global justice against this like evil dictatorship, blah, blah, blah. I think that's a cope. >> That's how they paint it, yeah. >> But it's like it also >> That's a justification for war. Yeah. >> The like blatant truth is easier to ride behind. >> it's cuz regular people are primal though. You know, if you tell most people like, "Hey, why do you have all that money sitting in your bank account? It's going to just wither away cuz of inflation?" They're like, "Huh?" Right? But if you go, "Bad guy. Ooh, we got to ████ the ████ up." So I

14:21 think it's it's easier to paint like And then plus if you think about it, right? If you had you had to tell someone, "Hey, uh the reason why we have Uber Eats, this convenient lifestyle, we could drive wherever we want, we killed a lot of innocent people to get oil. Are you down?" A lot of people are going to be like, "I ain't down. I ain't down." Right? But if you tell them, "We're going to bring religion, freedom, uh women's rights, and we just need to go to war and take it away from these bad dictators." Everyone's going to be like, "Let's do it." It's a noble cause. >> It's better messaging, and which is why in leaked say CIA documents that were declassified, the CIA thought it was a better idea to have Obama in power than another Bushite because we can sell the war easier. And they were able to expand the war then from two wars to seven wars, right? We went to Libya, we went to we we attacked um

15:11 um the the the people the [snorts] ████ people, Lebanon. We attacked um what the hell is it? Libya? Yeah, Libya. I should have said Libya. Syria? Syria, thank you. That's the one. >> Iraq? Yep. >> Well, that was Bush. But, a lot of people call Obama Bush 2.0. And it's not because he's a Republican, but he just continued what the Bush had intended and and wars and expansion and whatever. With way more drones. And we're right on track. There's a CIA whistleblower who said that um he basically gave a blueprint of how it was going to go from uh Iraq to Syria to Libya to Iran and all that. And we're right on track.
