How are you guys doing today's episode of sponsored by upside of hope you hope you guys had a fantastic weekend

We're a glass couple days. I guess I decided to take a few days break from actually covering the war inside of Ukraine

And spend some time with my daughter covering the thing usually takes up a very good chunk of my day

So these things I just need a little bit of a mental break from these things. I'll be honest with you guys

I look at some of the time I look at

Can be a little

Judges this war

That's how you take a quick pause for a minute. Just kind of like relax. That's what I did

But Putin is now approved Russia's budget for the next two years

We're the decided to actually increase this thing. They're gonna be allocating a hundred and forty five billion

US dollars which is 30% of their entire budget for the war inside of Ukraine

Not just their war like wartime efforts, but their entire budget

32% of their entire budget that is oh my god

That is insane to be honest. They're gonna have to be pulling stuff from everywhere to to make up for this history

Scenes of me repeating repeating itself by the way

Russian won't be able to finance itself for the length of this war which is the same thing that happened back in the Cold War

The United States budget by the way it alone is eight times larger than the one that they just approved

We haven't even started their account for the other NATO countries and who are fairly involved in this thing as well

I told y'all maybe like I think it was about a month ago

It wasn't feasible for the Russians to finance this war so essentially Putin is getting and what it wants

What it kind of wants of Putin is done pretty much a good job returning Russia back into the USSR in the sense that the entire world

Is in a big fan of the Russians and they're about to be as financially unstable as they were as well
