So if you looked at my history here,
The years before Russia took Crimea, I went on RT.
I used to do that.
But then when Russia took Crimea, this was just quite clearly aggression.
I mean, this is just flat-out aggression.
You're literally seizing territory that's not yours, and you're doing it.
Now, it's a fait accompli, didn't really have much fighting, but nonetheless.
So I had a lot to say in the media about what we should do about that as the pushback to that.
But I just made a decision that I wasn't going to do that.
I've been offered trips to go to Iran multiple times and I just won't go.
And and the reason is because I'm not here to become a look, if I'm not willing to be a pawn of Republicans or Democrats in my own country, why am I going to be a pawn of somebody else?
And also, Patrick, there's lots of money here.
So when I make arguments in books, this does help certain groups.
And you wouldn't believe the amount of money that I've turned down because they throw money at you thinking, well, you'll just do things.
You're kind of going in that certain direction.
And I'll tell you a case with 2014.
What really broke the back here –
And the CIA knows this and the FBI knows this, but I'll just tell the case publicly here, which is I got an email in soon around the time that Putin took Russia took Crimea.
And it was from a New York firm, New York law firm.
And they wanted to have a conversation because they had some clients and they knew I thought economic sanctions were bad here.
