all right we got to get going because I want to do a pretty deep dive with you now to explain some things that are going on

Nobody really wants to go to war over Ukraine.

The Houthi rebels are funded by Iran.

On the first day of the Biden administration, they got rid of the

intercepted Houthi missiles targeting the United Arab Emirates.
