robably gain more before his legacy looks good and he can argue that it made sense to have the war in the first place because even though he doesn't need to make his population love him, you know, the way American politicians might, he still needs some kind of popular support.

So I would say that Ukraine does not look like it could take out Russia's energy infrastructure before Russia could take out Ukraine's infrastructure. And I don't see anything changing that would make Putin want to make peace because all indications are he's slowly gaining and slowly winding down Ukraine and Ukraine is losing support. You know, it's not going to be supported financially forever. So the part that I think I calculated wrong is that I just assumed without thinking about it well enough I guess I just assumed that everybody wants to end war but why would Putin apparently he's not too worried about the number of Russians being killed in the war. So if he doesn't mind that and it's sort of moving in his direction, I can't see any reason he would end the war. And the only thing that I can imagine changing it is something that changed things economically that somehow Russia would allow to happen to them without responding in kind.

Don't you think that the United States is holding back quite a bit? Because if we go too far with allowing Ukraine to have all the best weapons and stuff, if we go too far, some of that's going to come back on the homeland. You know, Russia is going to not want to put up with that without responding in kind. So I don't see any way that as long as Putin's in charge, and it looks like he'll remain in charge. So I'm going to re-up my older prediction that there's no way we get a peace within a year because there's just not enough happening that would change the balance of where we are right now. Two out of a thousand ghost tankers. I don't know. That doesn't seem like enough.

All right, what else we got going? Well, that ladies and gentlemen is my full show and I appear to be back to full power. I'm a little bit quiet today, but feel my full energy. I was telling people before everybody streamed in here that I'm going to do a separate video maybe today of dad gift ideas for Christmas. I've got some really good dad gift ideas and it's based entirely on things that I have and you know I'm especially happy about them.

Scott is wrong. Zelensky is going to get arrested. Well, that's not part of my prediction. I don't have a prediction about Zelensky not getting arrested, but I also don't have one about him getting arrested. I don't think it matters what Ukraine wants or what Zelensky wants. I don't think they're, I think it's between the United States and Russia. And I don't think it matters at all what Zelensky wants. So that's just not part of my prediction at all. Either way, whether he gets arrested or not shouldn't have any effect on whether Putin wants to keep going.

Well, you know, I wasn't going to mention the coffee warmer, but maybe I'll add that to the list. Tankers are mostly owned by Greek companies. I don't think that's true that the ghost tankers are mostly owned by Greek. I do believe that there are a lot of Greek register
