Nothing.

What is that?

Well, it's interesting because we did a study.

We looked at media in the United States because one of the things that's frightening about

the churches that are being taken in Ukraine, is that very often the people who take them and beat up parishioners and break the heads of priests, those people have swastikas on their arms.

Yeah, I noticed.

So we found out that the New York Times and other papers had been profiling the rise of the right in Ukraine right up until the war.

now the azov battalion which is basically a neo-nazi battalion has almost taken over command and control in the ukraine uh and you know this is an ultra-nationalist government right now that is pushing a very radical line but no one is covering it

Well, you know, it's funny because Zelensky made all his money in Russia.

Yeah, I know.

And yet he's in charge of a government that's debasing any guarantees of language rights for Russian speakers inside Ukraine.

Right.

And the sanctification of him relates in my mind to two things.

One, we have a total breakdown in elite politics in Europe and to some extent in the United States.

Yes.

And secondly...

You know, I stopped playing the market when I was 21.

But I certainly remember, you know, making a bet and watching it crash and then think, I've got to double down to lower my cost in.

And I think that's what's kind of happened here.

Well, you know, look at the UK.
