00:00As we said, Trump has said Xi, Putin and Kim have all been conspiring against the U.S.
00:06Do you think that they are being deliberately provocative here against the U.S. and also to the West?
00:12What's your opinion on this?
00:14Well, I think there's a general fear or concern out there in Western strategic circles
00:19that Russia, China, North Korea and Iran are growing together into some kind of axis.
00:24That's a sort of very common language you're hearing now, an axis of upheaval or resistance or something.
00:30I'm not sure how much of an axis it is, right?
00:32It's probably more like a gang.
00:34But there is this sort of debate out there.
00:36As for Donald Trump himself conspiring, I mean, that's very much Donald Trump's way of speaking on social media.
00:41He tends to sort of shoot his mouth off.
00:43And, you know, it's not really clear to me that Donald Trump is thinking about these strategic issues very much.
00:47So my own sense is that's just kind of a typical Trumpian outburst.
00:51But it does kind of shadow the large debate in the West about how much China, Russia and North Korea are actually coordinating,
00:57specifically, for example, in Ukraine.
01:00So my own sense is that, you know, it's not really clear to me that it's not really clear to me that it's not really clear to me that it's not really clear to me that it's not really clear to me that it's not really clear to me that it's not really clear to me that it's not really clear to me that it's not really clear to me that it's not really clear to me that it's not really clear to me that it's not really clear to me that it's not really clear to me that it's not really clear to me that it's not really clear to me that it's not really clear to me that it's not really clear to me that it's not really clear to me that it's not really clear to me that it's not really clear to me that it's not really clear to me that it's not really clear to me that it's not really clear to me that it's not really clear to me that it's not really clear to me that it's not really clear to me that it's not
