We re at war. We re fighting a proxy war with a country that s not an ally of ours. And we re doing it for what? For what? And how long will it take for a sociopath like Putin to realize that he s losing the war and/or lose face before the world? And why the hell are we doing it? And what s the point of it all? And who s paying the price for it? Is it worth it? Or is it all a big scam designed to enrich the military industrial complex? And is it worth the price of admission to the military-industrial complex, or is it something we should be doing for our own benefit? And if it s a scam, is it even a scam at all? Or are we really at war with Russia? And are we even at war at all if we re not at war? or are we just fighting a war for something bigger than we re supposed to be fighting for? And why are we at war, and why is it so important to us to be at war in the first place? and why do we have to fight proxy wars with other countries? I ll tell you what, because it s not. It s not because they re our friends, it s because we re stupid and stupid and we need them. and they are our enemies and we don t have a choice but because they need us to fight for them it s just like we do it for them, and they want us to pay the price we pay for their oil, gas, food, electricity, vaccines, and other stuff like that we need it, and we want to be protected, etc, etc etc etc. etc. and so we need to get our oil, etc., etc. And they need it so we can get our food, etc. We need to produce more power, we need more of it, etc.. etc. So why not get on board the war train, right here, right? We re not going to stop fighting, we re going to war, we are at war! we re we re at it, right right here? . Let s get on it! , right here in this episode of the podcast, folks. ? I hope you ll like it. . . . - Tom :) - Tom SOTW. - Tim - Steve -
00:00:00.000Well, guys, I don't know if you saw yesterday, but Steny Hoyer, basically the number two majority leader after Nancy Pelosi in the House, said, we're at war.
00:00:10.000I wish we'd get off this and really focus on the enemy.
00:00:14.000I know there's a lot of politics here, but we're at war.
00:00:41.000Did Joe Biden use his powers as president to temporarily do that?
00:00:48.000Because it seems like a big deal that we're at war, because if we're at war, it would seem we're at war with Russia, who has the largest nuclear arsenal in the world in terms of number of warheads, about 6,000 of them.
00:01:02.000We're at war defending Ukraine, a corrupt country that's not in NATO, not an actual ally of ours.
00:01:09.000And I understand that U2 is playing concerts in their subways, so it must be really dangerous.
00:01:15.000And also, they must really be our friends now.
00:01:19.000But if we're at war, Have we thought about the consequences of that?
00:01:25.000I mean, I know they are voting next week to spend $40 billion additional.
00:01:31.000So if we weren't at war because of the $13 billion we already spent in the proxy war, I can't imagine the Russians loving that we're spending $13 billion, but then we spend another $40 billion for a total of $53 billion Our government's just saying that we're giving them intelligence, which let the Ukrainians target Russian generals, sink their flagship, I guess, of the Black Sea Fleet.
00:02:00.000How long do you think it takes till they park, say, I don't know, their huge nuclear submarines off the coast of America?
00:02:07.000How long do you think until, say, a sociopath like a Putin Realizes that he's losing this war and or losing face before the world and says, maybe that's the only option.
00:03:02.000Is it worth it? I know that everyone's going over to the Ukraine and Nancy Pelosi and all those guys, they're taking their selfies with Zelensky like it's, you know, the new, the political version of angel wings.
00:03:14.000You got to get your selfie for the gram.
