it possible that each of these countries is just saying domestic drones, but they don't know what they're seeing? So they're just imagining that it's more of a Russia problem because everything's a Russia problem. Or is Putin showing NATO that NATO has no air defense? Because if it is Putin, he is in fact country by country proving that they have no air defense. Now, you notice that France is not on the list yet. Would France have a more robust air defense and maybe that's why they haven't been challenged with drones? What about England? Does England have a little bit better air defense? Because if Putin knew that these would be easy targets with no air defense, let's call it I'll just name them again. Estonian, Germany, and Denmark and Romania and Poland. I don't imagine that their air defenses would be as robust as say France or England. Is that fair to say? I don't think Germany had a robust air defense. So it could be that what Putin is doing is he's preparing for negotiations. That's one possibility. And the one way you could do that is to show the weakness of NATO as an ability to fight because if NATO doesn't know it can fight and win and it's going to be an air battle. If there's any battle at all, it'll be in the air. If Russia can prove that to NATO, look, I'm going to prove to you that you could not defend against our attacks. You can't even detect our drones for, let's say, four out of five of your NATO countries, right? That would be a somewhat brilliant persuasion because you wouldn't have to even know for sure it was Russia, right? All you'd have to know is that all these countries can't control their airspace. And those countries have to think about that. Oh, damn. We don't have any control over our airspace. None. And that's being proven every day.

The other possibility is that Putin is collecting data for an attack and so he's looking at where they can attack the best because remember Trump has now authorized long-term or long range attacks by Ukraine in deep into Russia to go after their critical infrastructure like their energy infrastructure in particular. Remember I told you that the Ukraine war was going to turn into two things. A robot war on the front line, drones being robots, but also ground robots. And that instead of trying to kill people, the robots would try to kill the energy production in Russia. And they'd only have to get about 20% of it before Russia would have to make a deal because that would be 20% would be cataclysmic. So it could be that Russia is just stiffening up because of that.

So the courts in Germany have backed surveilling of the far-right, what they call the far-right anti-immigration group, the AfD. So that would be the right-wing group that's picking up influence in Germany. But because they're accused as a group, you know, not every person in the group, but as a group, they've been accused of saying things that were directed against the human dignity of foreigners, in particular asylum seekers, as quote ethnic strangers. So because the far right was saying that the people coming in with immigration were so different from the Germans that that was causing a problem in Germany. So I guess just saying that they're ethnic strangers was enough to authorize a surveillance of all of the phones of everybody in the party. I think that's what it's saying.

Now, what would happen if somebody like me went to Germany? Would I be automatically breaking a law because of things I had said? Like even during this podcast, would Germany say, "Oh, here's your social media thing. You can't say that because you may have insulted strangers in your own way." Would I be in trouble or would I be automatically surveilled if I entered the country because I had a background of saying not every kind of immigration is good for the country just common sensical things which is what their far right is doing just common sense I don't know but they anyway. Here's what I make about the AfD. I believe that they're in self-defense mode, not political mode. Now, it's political, of course, but when they're saying this immigration coming in, this isn't like let's argue about tax rates or something. They're saying that we're dead if you keep doing this. We're just dead. So from their perspective, they're engaged not in politics as much as literally self-defense. And you know what I say about self-defense? There are no rules in self-defense. Self-defense doesn't have rules. There's no morality rule. There's no ethic rule. There's just self-defense. And it's one of those things that it takes you a moment to realize that that's true. No. If somebody's gonna kill you or your family right now, but the only way you could stop it is something that someone else would call unethical, that's not a boundary. Save your family. Self-defense does not have to be gated by right or wrong. So that's what the political right in Germany understands, that they're involved in self-defense when it comes to immigration. The people in charge apparently think it's a political or wokeness or rudeness or bad behavior thing. Not when it's self-defense. That would be true if it were not self-defense. If people were saying, "No, we just don't like them because, you know, they whatever they say." If it wasn't to protect their lives and you know their country as Germany then then you could argue this is bad behavior. You know we don't insult people and call them different and call them strangers just 'cause they're different. I wouldn't be in favor of that. I mean I like free speech but I wouldn't be in favor of that particular brand of it. But once it becomes self-defense, which is what this clearly is at this point, is clearly self-defense, then no, I think the political right doesn't have to apologize for anything. They have to stay out of jail. I don't know how they're going to do that, but they don't have to apologize.

Meanwhile, at the Tulsa State Fair, apparently they've got drones and all kinds of AI and facial detection so that you can have they'll take a picture of your child. So if your child gets separated from you, they can almost instantly find it with a drone or something else. Which I kind of like. I kind of like that you could go there and not worry about losing your kid, you know, if you split up. And I like that, you know, it'd be much harder for somebody to try to kidnap your kid or get your kid out of the park if the kid had been IDed before then. So I can see why they'd like it. And they also say that they will catch people who have outstanding warrants. But it's super creepy. Super super cr
