All right. So Russia and Ukraine, Israel and Gaza, is China going to invade Taiwan? There's a bunch of coups in North Africa.

It seems like the world's kind of on fire right now. And there's a lot of people speculating on what this could mean for the United States, what it could mean for the wider regions in which these conflicts are taking place.

So today what we're going to do is we're going to give everyone kind of a review of all of the major conflicts currently going on in the world.

We're going to talk about best case scenarios, worst case scenarios, what specifically it could mean for U.S. military personnel and why you should care about it.

Plus, if you stick with us at the end, once we've gone through the various conflicts that we're going to be talking about today, we're going to turn the show over to you and let you ask us to do on the spot analysis about the various conflicts

that could be arising in the not so distant future. All of that and more coming up in this

episode of making the argument brought to you by Good Ranchers. There's been so much going on and

I'm excited to get a handle on everything that's been going on around the world. But we would love to hear what you have to say at the end of this show when we do our Q&A section,

but also in our community chat, which you can join by going to the link in the description.

Put your name in there. We'd love to get to know you. We've got all these different channels

outlined for different conversations. We'd love to have you there. All right. As always, I'm your host, Nick Freitas member of the Virginia House of Delegates for now, but other than that, a relatively good person. And just to give you a little bit of

background for those that are tuning in for the first time, my background before I became a

filthy, filthy politician was I served in the United States Army as an infantryman with the

82nd Airborne in the 25th Flight Infantry Division. And then I also served as a Green Beret more commonly,

or actually Green Berets is the commonly known term. It's U.S. Army Special Forces, which

heavily specializes an unconventional warfare, counterterrorism, counterinsurgency,

among other things, did a couple of combat tours over in Iraq. So I'll be kind of drying on

some of that experience for our

discussion today. My beautiful bride, Tina Queen of the Bees is not with us today, but our resident

historian historian historian historian, and mostly benevolent warlord and training. Christian Heinz

will be with us today with extensive knowledge on military history of Closch the Globe that he's

going to be able to bring to bear in this
