How are you guys doing today's episode of sponsored by Atlas VPN and established title?

So I saw some stuff this morning while I was doing the research for today's episode

with the Ukrainian government wanted the world to know that whoever is actually

talking about a possible pause in hostilities due to the freezing temperatures in the winter months have never likely

That was probably one of the best ways to let the Russians know that they have no intent on stopping anything in the south

We are putting the Russians to their knees in stopping their ability to really take over a country that well isn't theirs.

The United States Defense Budget by the way for 2022 alone, just 2022 alone is $715 billion.

Just so you know, the entire GDP is $40 trillion.

$40 trillion.

Russia's is 1.8 trillion.
