[00:00:00]Why? Because the United States believes that it controls all trade access. Because the oceans represents trade access.

[00:00:10]>> [snorts] >> And so what the United States has been doing has is it has been seizing Russian shadow fleet tankers.

[00:00:19]And so what's going to happen is that the Russians will eventually decide to arm its ships and this will create a war in the in the oceans, okay? So that's one trend that we will see happening.

[00:00:31]Another trend that we'll see happening is the rise of Germany and Japan.

[00:00:39]Okay?

[00:00:41]And why?

[00:00:42]Well, >> [clears throat and cough] >> historically, the most powerful nation in Europe has been Germany.

[00:00:48]Historically, the most powerful nation in East Asia has been Japan.

[00:00:54]The United States defeated both in World War II.

[00:00:59]And but now that the United States is at war with Russia, it needs proxies, it needs allies to counter both the threat of Russia as well as China.

[00:01:09]So it makes sense that what the United States is going to do is it's going to arm Israel to counter Iran, it's going to arm Germany to counter Russia, it's going to arm Japan to counter China.

[00:01:21]Okay?

[00:01:23]>> [clears throat] >> And what's going to happen now is that you have new in this conflict, you have other players emerge that will take advantage of these conflicts to amass more power for themselves. So think about North Korea in East Asia, okay?

[00:01:52]Because North Korea, it's a military society and it can threaten South Korea, Japan, and China. Okay? Then in Europe you have Poland.

[00:02:06]Um in the Middle East you have Turkey.

[00:02:11]Okay? So these nations are going to try to navigate all this chaos in order to amass more power for themselves. So in other words, what going to happen is complete chaos in World War III. Okay?

[00:02:26]And this is something that we'll discuss um more concretely for the rest of the semester. All right?

[00:02:33]So now what what I'm going to do now is explain to you the grand strategy of the United States, Russia, Iran, and Israel. Because these are only the four major players for the first 5 years.

[00:02:45]Other players will come in later on, but for now these are the four major players. Okay? And once you understand the grand strategy of these four countries, then it's going to be pretty easy for us to predict how they will behave as this war progresses.
