Hello everyone, Dr. Chris Martinson of Peak Prosperity here with you again.

Look, I don't think anybody's really ready for what's coming, particularly Europe.

And Europe is going to be instructive in terms of how your future is going to unfold.

Wherever you live, Europe's just going first.

So let's talk about that.

And if it seems like things are speeding up, of course they are speeding up because we live in an exponentially changing world.

Hey, it's great when technology changes exponentially for the better, but things aren't so good when we are exponentially seeing debt accumulate, money supply changes, loss of insects.

We're surrounded by a world that's very hard to keep on top of, which is why I do what I do. I frame things, make it simple, spend the time so that you don't have to try to figure out what's going on in the world. Now, we have to talk about this because I don't think anybody's really ready for what's coming and, hey, maybe I'm not ready, okay? But to be ready, you have to have the context. You have to know what's going on out there so that you can begin to make decisions and take effective actions. So let's talk about what's going on. Right now we're getting reports in, and I don't know how much I trust these because these are reports that are, quote, according to Kiev's military officials. Hey, they've been hyperbolic a lot in the past.

And of course they are. They're trying to drum up more support, more weaponry, more money,

things like that. But even if we discount what they're saying by 50%, this is a big deal,

because they're talking about a half a million new soldiers from Russia, masked at the border,

and 1,800 tanks, 3,950 armored vehicles, 2,700 artillery systems, rocket launchers, jets, helicopters, the whole 9 yards.

So this would be consistent with a very large campaign, a larger invasion coming across the border.

And so, is this true? Who knows? What I do know is that the escalations

are very real. The United States has been providing targeting official for the high Mars rockets,

and who knows how Russia is eventually going to respond to that. But they decided that targeting

information is coming from satellites. That could really escalate the escalations if

Russia responds to that. But at any rate, it's very difficult now to maintain the posture that the

United States is in a proxy war where Ukraine's doing the fighting, but maybe we support them

with a little, you know, a few extra bullets, maybe some dollars. What we're seeing here is

this is U.S. military personnel providing targeting information.

So they're doing everything except having the missile at their fingertips pressing the button.
