in sucks, they need it for all these reasons. I don't feel like this could ever end. When is Ukraine going to be self-sufficient? No time soon. Now I'm not saying I have a better idea but I think you can see the future here. We're just going to be bleeding money into Ukraine forever. Again I don't know what the alternative is. I don't have a better idea. But the Ukraine defense minister says that…

Now remember that the Democrats do a lot of projection. So that's exactly what they wanted Republicans to think about Trump. That you don't know if he's in Russia's pocket but look at all this. There was that time he said something good about Putin and there was that thing with a German bank that might have had something to do with a Russian thing but no evidence. And there's the allegation and the Steele dossier which wasn't real. And then it gives you this sense that even though your logic says I don't think there's any Trump problem with Russia, but they can create enough doubt that you can walk around saying but maybe, but maybe. They did produce a lot of smoke. As we know it was hoax-based smoke. Now we know that. But at the time if you said there is a solid 10 to 20% chance that there's something wrong there you wouldn't have been crazy. You just probably would have been wrong. You just wouldn't have been crazy. Yeah it's hoaxy smoke.
You just did the same thing. I think you're right. But what did I just do? Oh I just did the same thing in terms of saying there's a 25% chance that Biden blah blah blah. Yes I was trying to do the same thing. So you were correct.
Just keep avoiding the huge elephant in the room. What's the huge elephant in the room? The huge elephant in the room is natural gas shortage in Europe this winter. Yeah. So on social media there are all these stories about refineries blowing up mysteriously and there was another recently. But I don't see any of that in the real news. None of that's real, is it?
Do you think the food processing plants and also energy facilities are having some kinds of weird number of accidents that don't look like accidents? But does that look real? There's nobody in any professional news organization who's saying it's real, are they? I haven't seen it.
Yeah I think these are just industries that are prone to accidents, aren't they? Because I feel like all my life I've heard of refinery accidents. So I live fairly near a refinery — fairly near meaning short drive. So the refineries in the Bay Area and they have periodic alerts and accidents. So they have a sophisticated system for warning the nearby town of any leaks or fires or anything. And it's been used I think twice, maybe twice in my time here there have been accidents which I think fire was involved at the refinery. And we know that those were not any kind of terrorist acts.
So if I know one refinery that's had more than one accident since I've lived next to it it seems like maybe that's just an industry that has lots of accidents because of the nature of the business. And maybe food processing plants have lots of accidents. Is there any reason they would? I don't know

. And maybe they don't. Maybe they're just lots of them and if you hear that one has an accident that's what sticks in your mind. So I guess I'm a skeptic on the refineries and the food processing plants but I'm definitely interested. My interest is piqued. But I think we're well short of anything that looks like proof that something's happening. All right, that is all I have for now. And I beli…
