in favor of abortion, right? And I'm left of Bernie because Bernie's in favor of abortion and I'm in favor of Bernie shutting the up with his because his has nothing to do with abortion. He's not part of the conversation. So I'm left of him. I say let the women figure it out and then tell us what you figured out and then we'll all be on board. I'm way left of Bernie on abortion. Right, how about…

Even the Russian reporters are reporting bad news about the Russian involvement. Listen to these choices of words from Russian journalists. So this war correspondent Alexander Kots, I think, on Telegram. So this is on Telegram but he said that the Russian military was in quote operational crisis. Operational crisis. Just consider that choice of words. Operational crisis. Would you ever say that about your own military? I mean that does sound like the technical words for a collapse, doesn't it?
All right but let's go on. Then another reporter, Sladkov I don't know where he said it, somewhere publicly, he said about the Russian military, he says this doesn't mean that we've collapsed like a house of cards. These mistakes aren't gigantic strategic failures. Do you know what I hear when somebody says we're not collapsing like a house of cards? Do you know what I hear? We are collapsing like a house of cards. Nobody would pick those words. Nobody picks those words unless they actually believe they're collapsing like a house of cards. You would never say we're not collapsing like a house of cards. You would say oh we're doing great, stronger than ever, building up steam, we're collecting our forces, we're strategically withdrawing but we're gaining our strength, we're coming back. You would never say house of cards in any context unless you thought it was on the table.
So the people closest to it, the Russians themselves, they see the whole thing looking like it's falling apart. That's now clear. And I know I hate to toot my own horn but I was the best predictor of the entire Ukraine military but it was. But I was by far.
All right, and there they seem to be pinning their hopes on the special mobilization. There isn't one military person who thinks that the special mobilization is going to work but it also puts some urgency on the Ukrainians to get as much as they can before any recruitments come in anyway.
So here's something that you never expected me to say because I don't even know if this is left wing or right wing. But it looks like Joe Biden's team is very close to taking Russia off the board as a superpower, which looks to be exactly what they're attempting to do and have wanted to do for a long time. Now you could say it's NATO winning but not really. It's more the United States. Would you give them credit for it if it happens? What if they pull it off? Because you know this is exactly the sort of thing I get mad at Democrats for. You know when Trump would do something that was unambiguously good they couldn't give him any credit at all, right? But what if he pulls it off? Now the risk of course is insane. The risk of nuclear war, the big risks. But what if he pulls it off? You know even at the great expense, what if he actually just takes Russia out of the game like forever? Yeah it's a big if but it looks like it's gonna happen.
And Joel Pollak referred to it in Breitbart as moving closer to a situation where Russia would be China's northern colony. Ouch. Russia as a northern colony of China because if China owned them economically they would own them in every way. And it looks like that might happen, huh?
I said on Twitter yesterday that you should turn off any movie as soon as there's a scene where somebody's tied to a chair. And my thinking was that that's a signal that the writers ran out of ideas. And a lot of writers came in to complain because writers don't like me. And they said Scott how can you say that they've run out of ideas just because somebody's tied to a chair? If you don't watch a movie because somebody's tied to a chair you're not going to see Reservoir Dogs, Casino, The Matrix, Indiana Jones. Yeah and they listed like 12 classic movies where somebody was tied to a chair.
And then I said that's my point. That's not your point. No my point is that it's overdone. The fact that you can name 20 movies in which it was done is why you turn it off. That's why you turn off the new movie because the new movie is the old movie. They're just rewriting the old movie but doing a shitty job of it. It's like to imagine that because there are old movies that did it that you should just keep doing it. It doesn't work that way. Now it's overdone. It's overdone.
And then part of it was are you saying that Reservoir

Dogs and Casino were not good movies? Yes those are. No I'm not going to say they're not good because that would be treating art like it's subjective. They are not movies I enjoyed or that I would recommend. But I don't mind if you do. Don't mind if you do. There's news about this election software firm called Konnech. And the CEO I guess is in jail. He's been picked up. Hasn't been convicted of…
