Let's talk about Russia.

So yeah, again, I'm, I'm

I think it's a good exercise here if you're listening to try and think about this from the different players on the boards thing without having to be like taking a side.

I'm not pro-Putin and I'm not really pro-Trump here.

So here's the thing.

It is worth saying that all... We're going to talk about Iran in a second.

We're going to talk about Greenland and a couple other things.

It is worth saying that what has been happening in the past...

I don't know, a few months, maybe a year, has been provably bad from the Russia POV.

Russia and their focus on Ukraine, which by the way, as of today, is now longer than the Eastern Front of World War II.

Russia has spent more time fighting in Ukraine than they did fighting the Nazis in World War II.

It's fucking crazy how long this special military operation has lasted, how many people they've lost, how much damage done to their economy.

However, it breaks down.

It's been pretty disastrous.

Apparently, they could beat the German Nazis at the height of their power more than they could beat the fictional Nazis they created in Ukraine.

But...

but Russia has had like, if you put blue pieces or whatever for, for Russian pieces, we got black ones here.

Yeah.

Um, and you spread them out over like Syria and all of the, and Venezuela and, uh, these, these bases that they've had, these Iran, these are all places where Russia has invested money, weapons, investment, uh,

Training and every one of them like dominoes has been like weakening or falling as they've focused all of their energy on Ukraine.
