00:00Exactly. I mean, I was going to ask you, I mean, how do countries, how might countries
00:04like Russia and China that have territorial expansion plans of their own, notably China
00:10with regards to Taiwan, how might they seize upon that very same behaviour or those very
00:16same threats being used by Washington?
00:19Well, sure. And, you know, China has worked very hard to increase its influence in Central
00:26and South America. You know, Russia has as well, less so, you know, but this would be
00:31a boom, you know, to China in our own hemisphere, because obviously, you know, you know, China,
00:38when it works, its foreign policy is not perceived as bossing other countries around, you know,
00:47so even with the threat, with no logical endgame, this is something that China in particular
00:54can use to curry favour with, you know, with countries in our hemisphere, you know, which
01:00again, you know, undercuts potential US influence.
