The Good evening. It's Tuesday, May 30th. Welcome to a new episode of

system update. Our live nightly show that airs every Monday through Friday at 7 PM Eastern, exclusively here

on Rumbull, the free speech alternative to YouTube.

Tonight, we spend a lot of time on this program discussing the war in Ukraine because how could we not?

It is easily the most dangerous war for the US, the West, and the world in decades. The Iraq war, which had a nuclear power only on one side of the

conflict but not both, posed nowhere near the dangers that this war poses.

One of the primary participants in the war, President Joe Biden, the chief proxy sponsor of Ukraine,

himself said in an unscripted moment back in October that this war has brought the planet

closer to nuclear Armageddon

than at any point since the Cuban Missile Crisis in 1962,

61 years ago,

and then we just all moved on like that ever happened.

This war is the single most important political story of the year,

and nothing is close for that title.

How could it not be that?

This is a proxy war between the nation with the largest nuclear power on one

side, Russia, and the nation with the second largest nuclear stockpile on the other, the United States.

There's this new conception that New Corps War is not really

possible that would only happen if a suicidal psychopath had full control over

their use, but that is a delusion. A fairy tale, a belief that could arise only

from the crudest and most extreme form of historical ignorance. The U.S. and U.S.S.S.R. came very, very close, less than an hour away from nuclear war on at least two occasions during the Cold War, caused not by psychotic behavior, but by rational behavior, triggered by miscommunication and misperceptions.

And the same-haired trigger archaic Cold War systems are still in place.
