at would be enough to get them to the table. Now, would Russia ramp up the destruction that they're giving Ukraine? Probably. But I also wonder if maybe Ukraine, having been battered so badly and having so many friends around them, I wonder if Ukraine would be in a better position to weather the destruction of their energy platforms. You know, would Europe and the US just step up and say, "All right, well, you took out all of their domestic oil, but we got oil, so make sure they have oil." I don't know. But if it's true that Ukraine could handle destruction of their energy resources better or maybe they're willing to just take a bigger hit, you know, maybe Ukraine could handle losing half of their energy. I'm just picking numbers for argument here. Maybe they could handle half, which would be really, really hard, but they have lots of friends, you know, maybe the friends could make up the difference. Would Russia have enough friends, China, North Korea, Iran? Would they have enough friends that if they lost 20% of their energy, they could find a way to make it up? I don't know. So I think there's some chance, obviously, I'm no military or energy expert, but just watching from the sidelines, I would say there's some chance that this will get Russia to the table. We'll see.

All right, ladies and gentlemen, that is my prepared show for today. I'm going to talk to the local subscribers, the beloved, beloved, beloved local subscribers. And that'll be private. So in 30 seconds, I'll disappear. But for the rest of you, thanks for coming. I hope you come again tomorrow. You learn so much, don't you? Yeah. Bye for now.
