Trump, the Deep State, and Why Peace Is Financially Impossible

At 33:00 · chapter starts 30:55

Tucker asks why Trump, after a decade of promising no regime-change war with Iran, launched one in February. Dotcom's answer is blunt: Trump is a pathological liar, everything he said was calculated to win power, and none of it should have been believed. He then describes Trump's likely motive — a narcissistic desire for a legacy greater than the presidency — and identifies nuclear war as the catastrophic exit he fears Trump may seek, at 80 years old with nothing left to prove. But Dotcom also offers a structural analysis that goes beyond Trump: the Deep State cannot make peace because it cannot afford to. Russia and China sustain 40% of its surveillance and intelligence budget. Remove the enemy and the institutional apparatus collapses. On Europe, Dotcom is equally stark: the continent's only path to survival is to make peace with Russia and cut its ties to Washington. Remaining a US vassal state is a death sentence.
