t. For the whoever's trickling in at the end there's nothing I say about Ukraine that you should assume comes from a credible source. There's nothing I say about Russia that you should assume comes from a credible source. A hundred percent of everything out of Ukraine is not reliable. It's all fog of war. But to talk about it I'm going to talk about it like I have some credibility because it's jus…

apability left or it's decreasing over time. I think America and maybe Europe has decided they could just take Putin out. So they don't have to take Putin out as a leader. They can simply make his country irrelevant which is what they're doing. And I believe that they've taken Russia off the stage as a major player in the world. I think they've done it now.

If you had told me that Biden could pull that off and who knows what was intentional and what he lucked into you'll never know. But if Trump pulled it off and I thought it was something that needed to be done then I'd probably say he did a good job if I'm being honest about it. So I'm not sure what's happening here yet. It's too early to say anybody's doing a good or bad job but it's entirely possible, it's not likely, that the Biden administration will take down the entire Russian army forever or at least for a while and that they will just be completely off the international stage and they just won't be a factor anymore. That would be one of the biggest wins of all time if that's what they were doing intentionally. Now it does look like it's intentional.

So I always know when I've got something going that's good I always get the laughing too hard response. Somebody who has, I'm laughing now so hard. LOL LOL LOL LOL. Why and you're laughing at what exactly?

Now again if you missed the first the preamble there's nothing that comes out of this area that you should think is credible and therefore any of my predictions are not credible. But if you were to imagine that the collective direction of all the information is in the same direction and it is, it does look like the military is ready to collapse. Now how many of you mocked me for saying that Ukraine would do unusually well against the entire Russian military? Is there anybody on here who mocked me and said Scott the Ukrainian military is not going to have a chance against the Russian army, right? How many of you mocked me? A lot of you, right? And do you think they're mocking me now when I say the entire Russian military looks on the border of collapse? Does that make sense? Because if I got the first one right I feel like you would at least pull back a little bit on the mocking. I could be wrong. I don't think there's more than a 50 percent chance I'm right. Let's be clear about that. There's definitely not a greater than 50 percent chance that the Russian military will completely collapse but I'll bet it's 30 to 40 percent. I mean I think it's a real thing and I think if we keep pushing it might be more. It's too early to relax. Yeah maybe so. Maybe I should relax.

Oh and then I saw and here it was my favorite one. CNN is still reporting that John Brennan thinks that Russia is the most likely culprit to have sabotaged the pipeline. But you know what John Brennan's reason is why Russia would attack the pipeline that was for its benefit? So here's John Brennan's reason. CNN is reporting without any criticism. They just let this lie here like this made sense. John Brennan says the reason that Russia attacked its own pipeline he believes it's a signal to Europe that Russia can reach beyond Ukraine's borders. So who knows what he might be planning next. Do you think that countries blow up their own assets in foreign countries to prove to you that if they wanted to they could blow up your stuff too? If I may take a page from my trolls, LOL LOL LOL LOL LOL. I think that was enough. Come on John Brennan.

Now if you don't recognize the John Brennan signal that the intelligence people want him to go out and lie for them he's obviously the designated liar. You know that right? You all know that John Brennan is the designated liar. He's the one they send out to lie because apparently he's willing to do it. The same with Adam Schiff is the designated liar and Swalwell. Why? Because they're willing to lie about anything. Schiff will say anything he doesn't care if it's true. Swalwell will say anything he doesn't care if it's tr

ue. And John Brennan will say anything if it's to his advantage apparently. And that ladies and gentlemen signals the end of, well really probably one of the best live streams you've ever seen in your whole life. Why is your narrative of the Russian collapse laughable? Which is why your narrative. So how many of you have laughed at my other predictions that all came right? Do you remember how mu…
