Are we going to have a nuclear war? (Originally published 9/3/222) #2 coming soon

Russia has been threatening the United States with a nuclear war since February and is months away from a new rocket that he claims "cannot be shot down by any defense system in the world."

Russia put the first astronaut in space and the first satellite. Up until recently, that's how we got our own astronauts to the space station. We paid Russia to get them there. They absolutely know their rockets.

Vladimir Putin visits Iran, which is reportedly only weeks away from being able to produce its own nuclear weapons, and China threatens the U.S. if we retaliate in any way for their financial dealings with Russia, Nancy Pelosi's visit to Thailand, and our promise to deliver about 1bn in funding to them as well.

Make no mistake, Russia has friends. This push to ban carbon-based fuel may be.... "fueling" part of these extreme moves. These countries have no interest in stopping their drilling of oil and natural gas as they are MAJOR exports that bring in massive amounts of money to their economies. Including Saudi Arabia, which we haven't been treating very well recently.

I have always been against our relationship with Saudi, human rights violators, and the murders of Jamal Khashoggi, but when I started creating content I had to do a lot of research. I now understand why we deal with Iraq. If we don't sell them military equipment, Russia will.

Also, we used to have conditions that came along with the sale. That they took care of the region and kept it stable so we didn't have to.

I'm sure they are really happy about Biden's statements and the lying about bringing up Khashoggi's murder first thing, during the "meeting" where they talked about 5g, infrastructure, and climate change. Big win there. So I wouldn't be surprised if Saudi flips.

Vladimir Putin and his officials are not mincing words. They are direct and very dark.

Are we headed to Cold War 2.0? It's not that simple with so many new actors in the world theatre; this is a little more complicated.

Meanwhile, Russia has brought Europe to its knees. Ofgem is raising the energy cap by 80% in October and is going to raise it again in January. Germany, Austria, The Netherlands, and Italy are revitalizing old coal plants, trying feverishly to get them back to operational capacity in just a few months.

Send your hopes and prayers to Europe folks, it's going to be a cold, expensive winter.

As always, stay free, stay educated, keep an open mind, take a deep breath, do not let emotions like anger be your guide, stop picking sides, and be safe.
