He was studying and noticed that the Soviet Union could not have existed at all without technology transfers from the West. Communists can’t innovate at all. Example: they made the exact same camera lenses totally unchanged from 1945 (when they stole the Carl Zeiss designs from the Germans) until 1991.

He dug deeper and realized that the Soviet Union was never a genuine competitor of the US, but rather a totally captive market open only to the few major western corporations blessed to do business with the “enemy”.

Another big example he points to is the invasion route that Soviet tanks took into Afghanistan. It was built by the US army corps of engineers. 😂
