rt of agreeing to be the visitor, not the host. The host always has the dominant position, not the visitor. Anyway, he is right about that. Here is something that Zelensky said. He said the Ukraine’s constitution makes giving up land for peace impossible and should only be discussed at a trilateral meeting. Okay, those are two separate thoughts. One, that the constitution makes it impossible to g…

ns, you know, whenever they want. That is not in the Constitution. So to imagine that he cannot make peace and save his country because the Constitution says he cannot make this deal, that is ridiculous. He could just make the deal and then have the courts wail about it. But what are they going to do? Say, well I do not know. Technically the paperwork is not right. So we should go back to war. Who exactly would be on that team? So no, I do not believe him for a second when he says that there is no way around that constitution thing. But it does look like he is signaling that if you had a trilateral meeting, you could at least discuss it. You could talk about that thing that he says is impossible, but of course it is not.

Do you remember I said that Ukraine, if you wait long enough, will become an all-robot war and that you will not even have people there. Eventually, the robots will be so good at killing people much better than people are good at killing the robots. It is going to go both ways, but you can make robots faster than you can grow new people. So I was just reading a story in the Associated Press and one of the people who was in the war, one of the soldiers said, quote, you cannot even lift your head there. He is talking about the front lines. He said, you cannot even lift your head there. There is already a robot war. So one of the people fighting the war on the front line says that we need to know it is already a robot war and that here is an even weirder fact. The medics, the Ukraine medics, they have not treated a gunshot wound in a while. Think about that. It is the front lines of a hot war and the medical people have not been treating gunshot wounds. Do you know why? Because nobody is firing guns at anybody. It is the drones. So the people who are dying, and there is a lot of them, are dying because something exploded, not because a bullet hit them. And then apparently they are also having a huge problem there of getting the wounded back to medical care because if somebody is out in that robot war area and you send out the medics, the medics are going to get whacked. So unless they can use the robot to pick up the person and bring them back, wh

ich actually they are doing. They have got these land-based tanks that can pick up a human being and transport him back, but even that is going to get attacked five times before it gets back out of the front lines. So my prediction was that if you wait long enough, it will be an all-robot war, but this is not it yet. Even though the person in it called it a robot war, the part that is going to cha…
