So there's this thing called the Munich Security Conference in Germany.
It's kind of like Davos, but for national security.
And I went there and it was like a big deal for me because I went in there as the one skeptic in the entire this massive euro complex.
I went as the person skeptical of continued escalation in Ukraine because I think that what we're doing in Ukraine is insane and that we should have a policy effectively of promoting peace in the region.
And we walk in and one of the people that I'm on this panel with is the leader of the German Green Party.
And, you know, she's like 30 years old and she really, really cares about Russia, Ukraine.
She's like the youngest person in the German government.
And you realize you are like the exact โ like you guys are literally Russian influence.
Like you're accusing me of wanting to do Russia's bidding.
You're encouraging your own country from the perch of government to shut down all baseload power.
And you're not even self-aware about how much of your own propaganda is funded by the country that's benefiting from this.
The lack of ability to interrogate โ I mean Bill Gates โ
You know, like maybe he's a good guy.
I don't know him very well.
But he's getting rich off of all of this stuff that he's supporting in the name of health or in the name of climate.
Our inability to just ask ourselves who's getting rich from this stuff.
Maybe we should be skeptical of the people getting rich from this stuff is one of our big failures as a political society.
