America's Failure in Sudan | Dollar Crisis & World War 3.
FULL TRANSCRIPT
well we've got another crisis in the
Middle East this time it's occurring in
Sudan and once again the United States
of America has an opportunity to show
its Regional hegemonic strength in the
Middle East rather than continue down
the path of doing nothing the path of
doing nothing has unfortunately led to
Deals between Saudi Arabia Iran who used
to be horrible enemies now partnering
through a broker deal by China because
the United States isn't brokering deals
in the Middle East anymore of the 78
attacks against Americans and American
contractors in the Middle East we've
only responded to three of those attacks
we are coming across as very weak in the
Middle East well and this is why some
say the United States dollar is
potentially at risk of losing its
Reserve status now Wells Fargo argues we
are far away from losing the reserve
currency status of the world but a lot
lot of folks are concerned about the
future of America and American strength
given the potential weakening of America
in the Middle East and now we need to
discuss how America relates to
Sudan yes we now have a deadly crisis
and battle occurring in Sudan what you
have are two groups you have the
Sudanese Army and the Rival paramilitary
a group of fighting in Sudan these
groups well the paramilitary group is
the rapid support forces militia it's
just shortened the rsf and uh the rsf is
known for its scorched Earth tactics
they've got about 80 000 Fighters per
the international crisis group reports
and basically here's what hap what's
happening you're at about the third or
fourth day of violence now there are
somewhere around uh the last media
reports were somewhere around 100
fatalities already some are calling this
a civil war those numbers seem to be
rising right now let me take a peek here
this is the latest coming across the
wire Services U.S officials have been in
contact with military leaders in Sudan
urging them to end hostilities
immediately a UV and on United Nations
Envoy on Sudan says the warring parties
are not giving the impression that they
are open to mediation this is where
United States needs to potentially do
something now many people say no the
United States needs to do nothing but we
already provide foreign aid to all of
these countries Saudi Arabia is already
calling up the United States going yo
what should we do over here uh Sudan is
like right across the pond from us and
uh we need some help over here and the
more the United States actually does
nothing the weaker the dollar becomes
right so as easy it is to say the U.S
shouldn't be the World Police we send
hundreds of millions of dollars
sometimes billions of dollars to nations
in the Middle East and we do that to
maintain some semblance of control and
be the country that people call when
they need help well right now all we're
getting from our Administration is hey
guys stop fighting and the un's like uh
we're gonna need more than that because
there's no indication any kind of
fighting is going to stop three
individuals from the usaid have been
killed that is uh the um food Aid group
in Sudan trying to provide humanitarian
Aid and they have been killed so they've
now Frozen humanitarian Aid in the
region water facilities electrical grids
are being attacked and destroyed in the
capital of of Sudan a major water uh
facility has been damaged affecting
water delivery to uh millions of
individuals in Sudan a Yuan Envoy is now
reporting as of the last 15 minutes here
that at least 185 individuals have been
killed more than
1800 civilians and Fighters have been
wounded
the Pentagon uh is uh is is evaluating
but not really doing anything right now
and that's frustrating a lot of folks
again regarding the United States to
strength in the region
but uh what's really happening here is
you don't have a stable government in
Sudan it's worth knowing a little bit
about the history and this has been
going back and forth for a while think
about this the last major leader who had
the longest reign in recent history in
Sudan which by the way just knowing
where Sudan is might help a little bit
you've got Saudi Arabia to the right
then you've got Sudan just to the left
of it above it you have Egypt and this
so this is kind of in the Middle East
which is the no the upper right corner
of Africa is the way to think of it and
in 1989 you had Omar albashir who took
control via a military coup after
massive protests and 70 inflation so
you've got massive problems you've got a
financial problems in in Sudan you've
got leadership problems and really his
reign
continued until
2019. when you had yet another coup and
the military took over ordining ordering
a military imposed state of emergency
and arresting albashir then in September
of 2021 there was another failed coup
one month later another coup attempt two
months after that in January of 2022
what do you have the Prime Minister
quits
Darfur is one of the regions within
Sudan and it's where you're seeing a lot
of fighting that's happening though
fighting is really happening throughout
the entire country of of Sudan right now
in fact I'll throw up a uh a map in just
a moment here to show you where some of
this fighting is happening and you can
see how widespread the fighting actually
is the uh the fighting unfortunately uh
is also affecting the port of Sudan
which is problematic because the port of
Sudan is important for oil imports and
exports uh in the region that's leading
some to worry that oil prices could stay
higher for longer so far this violence
uh it doesn't seem to really I mean dare
I say hold a candle to what's happening
in Ukraine but it has the potential for
escalating and that's why a lot of folks
are paying attention to it let's listen
briefly to an Al Jazeera clip here where
we can get a little bit of an intro of
what it actually looks like on the
ground over there oh Christ along the
tarmac at Khartoum airport on a third
day of fighting between Sudan's Army and
the biggest and most powerful
paramilitary force
explosions airstrikes and gunshots are
heard across the capital as both sides
claimed they're making advances in
strategic areas but details on the
ground are unclear strategic areas by
the way are going to include military
bases airports and also the broadcasting
network right the broadcasting network
is Central to controlling what people
think in the region and that's important
because it's exactly why China controls
its media is why North Korea controls
its media it's why China and North Korea
by the way subsidize YouTubers who live
in North Korea or in China to Showcase
how wonderful it is to live in China or
North Korea it's propaganda this is
understandable this is normal every
country has always instituted propaganda
the United States is no exception to
that keep in mind in
2022 we gave 800 million dollars of
foreign aid to Sudan and they still
can't get their act together get a
massive power struggle here and the
problem is if the wrong side ends up
taking control of Sudan you could
potentially have another very strong
force that ends up aligning with our
enemies like Iran and Russia keep in
mind Egypt was just potentially
implicated in wanting to send thousands
of missiles that they manufacture to
Russia now that was just a consideration
but it's ridiculous that it was even a
consideration after we sent over two and
a half billion dollars of foreign aid to
Egypt over the last four years and that
bunny could now be being funneled to
manufacture weapons that are sold to
Russia basically using U.S dollars to
kill ourselves essentially or fight our
own money in Ukraine which is insane but
it shows you if the wrong power vacuum
is established or if there is a power
vacuum in Sudan
and the wrong Powers move in to then
control Sudan you could potentially have
a new alliance between Iran Egypt and
Sudan that then
forces Saudi Arabia to align with them
with Russia and China instead of the
United States this Sudan issue is a lot
greater and and my heart goes out to the
people who lose their lives in these
conflicts but this issue is a lot
greater than just oh it's some African
nation is warring again this is all
about oil the United States dollar and
what is the United States going to do to
make sure that we don't lose a country
like Sudan again a country we almost
gave a billion dollars to in 2022 how
what are we going to do to make sure we
don't lose them to Iran and when we lose
them to Iran we lose them to China and
Russia and that's the real concern here
so this fighting has just begun over the
last three to four days but it's going
to be something we have to pay attention
to the fighting is not backing down if
anything it's getting worse and
unfortunately this issue is starting to
to rhyme we hear this over and over and
over again and the pain just continues
and continues let's listen in for
another brief moment here to Al Jazeera
footage released by the Sudanese
military shows a number of Rapid support
forces troops surrendering their weapons
and equipment in Khartoum the Army says
it's resumed control of State TV and
will use it to update the public It also
says it's retaken marui airport in the
north but that conflicts with claims by
the rsf which says its men still control
the facility
yeah so there's a comment here from
Calvin Smith that says it's their choice
Kevin yes you're right but let me ask
you this would we rather have countries
Ally with the United States or with
China the reality is we could pretend
that we shouldn't have anything to do
with foreign Nations but if we pretend
that guess who wins China Iran and
Russia and potentially even North Korea
so you have to ask yourself would you
rather be involved in the other
countries or just stick our head in the
sand and pretend that we're happy over
here in the United States much like a
plane without an engine that might last
for a while but the more allies we lose
in the International Community the
weaker America becomes and so it's not
as easy as saying we should just mind
our own business we have as many we have
enough problems at home at home well
that's true while our political system
is broken by all means we should be able
to improve our education system our
health system uh the the rigging of
pricing at doctors offices and in a
Health Care system and and Drug
manufacturers we should be able to solve
a lot of the issues we have at home
we can't turn a blind eye to what's
happening in the Middle East because it
just increases the likelihood of World
War III
