All right, Alexander, let's talk about this Bob Woodward book called War, which is getting a lot of attention.

And perhaps the parts of the book that are getting a lot of attention are actually the parts of the book that really don't warrant any attention.

Like Koof tests to Putin and stuff like that.

Who cares?

I mean, really, who cares?

Or Trump calling up Putin once again, who cares?

But there are a couple of parts of the book, which are interesting, very interesting.

And one part, in specific specific talks about the Biden White

House speaking with the Kremlin, Austin with Shoygu, Sullivan with, with, uh, with the Kremlin as well,

with, with regards to a possible, uh, nuclear strike into Kiev when the Biden White House, into Ukraine, when the Biden White House at the time,

this was in 2022, right before the great spring summer counteroffensive that flopped.

This is when the Biden White House thought that they had Russia on the ropes and that Putin

was in a panic and he was about to use nukes and the Biden White House was going they had Russia on the ropes and that Putin was in a panic and he was

about to use nukes and the Biden White House was going to retaliate with nuclear weapons

back. At least that's the impression that we get from the excerpts that have been revealed from

Woodward's book. Anyway, let's talk about what Woodward is reporting, if you believe,

his reporting in this book. The fundamental problem I have with Woodward's book is that it's

entirely based on what the Americans are saying, and to be more precise, what the administration

is saying, that he's obviously not accessing Russian sources to any degree.

Now, the Russians have denied this story outright. Putin has said that he never considered

using nuclear weapons in the autumn of 2022. And let's go and look at the events of what actually took place in 2022.

Because if we do that, if we go through a timeline, a brief timeline, it really doesn't make a huge amount of sense.
