movals force. Politico is reporting on this. So I don't know. Do you think that the UK is going full Donald Trump and that they realize that they're going to have to do something about the migration situation or close up the country because they're done? I feel like the existence of Trump makes it possible for the UK to adjust because if they see that he did and that the US is getting on a firmer…

Hm. Should I be mad that she's calling me an animal? I'm going to say no 'cause I'm an animal. You know humans are animals. Close enough. I again have a mixed feeling on this because I want her to have free speech. And was that not free speech? So I really don't like it when people lose jobs over even ugly opinions. But here's why. Yeah I understand that she has to pay for that comment. But her belief about Charlie Kirk is entirely based on things that she was not responsible for. Meaning that she saw things on social media. She saw people she trusted having opinions about him and she adopted those opinions. Now those opinions are completely wrong. He wasn't the bad guy devil that people said. But if he had been, how bad would that comment be? Suppose he had been just a horrible monster. Would you feel bad if somebody said, oh I don't mind that the horrible monster had a bad end? It wouldn't be so bad, right? So the way you react to her is based on something that she was duped on. She was duped. She was duped into thinking he was a devil. And so she thought it would be safe to say, well I guess that's what happens to the devil. But not knowing that to half the country he was closer to an angel, she just walked into the buzzsaw. So how much of that was her fault? She clearly lived in a bubble because she thought that saying that out loud would be consequence-free apparently. So that was maybe that was her fault, but she's not the one who created the hoax that Charlie Kirk was a bad guy. She didn't create that. She was a victim of it and then she just reacted in a way that somebody would if they heard that Hitler had died, right? I don't know. So I feel like in the real world of course there's going to be consequences for saying that opinion out loud. But on the other hand she's a little bit of a victim. A little bit of a victim. Not enough for forgiveness, but she's a little bit of a victim.
Meanwhile over in Ukraine, Ukraine struck one of Russia's biggest oil refineries again. And apparently Russia did massive aerial attacks on some of their gas production or something in Ukraine. So it looks like Russia's play is to make it really cold in Ukraine. So winter's coming. So it looks like Russia's play is to make sure the Ukrainians feel the fear and that they're going to freeze to death. And it looks like Zelensky's strategy in Ukraine is to take out the energy production in Russia until the economy is reeling and there's long lines for gas and ma

ybe that gets the public against Putin. But it looks like we know the play now. And as I've been saying, it looks like they're not going to bother trying to kill humans because killing humans hasn't worked. So they're going to go after assets now. So anyway, there's a report in Interesting Engineering that over in China they've built a mockup of the Taiwan capital of Taipei. And the reason they b…
