Hello and welcome.

So a little over a month ago on this show

for any conflict broke out between Ukraine and Russia,

I introduced a foreign policy segment,

recognizing a need for Americans

to begin deep diving into foreign affairs.

It was really just an effort to make sure people understand

how wars and conflicts break out.

Ironically, during that show, we discussed NATO,

who in historical mistrust of the military alliance

and their eastward expansion.

Now, we aren't going to delve deeper into that topic today

because now that the regional war has actually broken out

in the east, the Western price is determined

that if you know or say anything about that history,

you are a Russian puppet.

To clarify, knowing facts about history and foreign issues

so that you, as a citizen, can more intelligently assess

present-day issue, makes you an enemy of the state.

And of course, the state-run media.

Instead, you should exercise your patriotism

by remaining ignorant and emotional.
