So so radical.

But if I were to throw out the radical idea that we should go back to pre pandemic level spending.

So go all the way back to the crazy year of 2019 when it was anarchy or whatever.

That was just, they'll all tell you the world's gonna end if we do that.

And even when they're making up these absolutely ridiculous claims about how many people are gonna die if you cut government spending, which is all just totally absurd.

But then they never seem to go like, well, how many people are gonna die if I keep letting DC have all these war-making powers?

How many people are going to die if the president is able to fund a proxy war whenever he wants to?

I mean, look at this shit, dude.

I took so much... You know, whatever, I'm not... But I took a lot of heat for the stuff I said on the show here a few years ago about the war in Ukraine.

Look at it now, dude.

And I don't think they're about to end the thing, which we could talk about, but I think they're putting poison pills in these negotiations already.

That's what it looks like to me.

But...

Literally, the deal that I was talking to you about, whatever it was, three years ago when I was saying on the show that they had a deal worked out, a peace deal worked out in the first few months of the war in 22, and Boris Johnson went and killed the peace deal on behalf of the West to make sure this war kept going.

But the deal that was in pencil, not pen, that Boris Johnson killed was essentially –

Recognition of the annexation of Crimea.

It was at the time it wasn't annexation of the Donbass region.

It was like independence for the Donbass region.

And then the agreement that the rest of Ukraine would not join NATO.

That was the deal that they had worked out.
