  4. Well … Real Estate is the most expensive thing people spend their money on .. I wonder what Adam Smith said about 25% mortgage rates .. Crippling, Devastating, or just plain Horrifying..?

  6. Moscow is spending a lot of Money to support the Ruble , Reminiscent of the Vikings who held wealth in Cattle .. a very expensive asset to maintain in northern regions with very short growing seasons and having them indoors during the winter.. so the question is how much money is Russia spending to have a currency…?

  7. The old Leninist argument that quantity has a quality of its own … sure is true.. well when it comes to debt .. but in manufacturing cheap crappy Russian Tanks vrs Western Armor… Quality has a Quantity of its own , and it’s difficult to quantify, quality …

  13. One of the major turning points of WW2 was the destruction of the German oil industry as it affected everything, especially pilot training… the Rooskies need oil for money and fuel ..

  17. Hi Mark .. I have a complex question… The Dambuster raid in 43 really threw a wrench in Germany’s war production.. the Ruhr Valley took the better part of 6 months to recover and at a huge cost to repair the mess, Russia is going to have to decentralize its production to avoid a one strike incapacitation of anything critical, …. meanwhile their oil industry is really getting hammered, like WW2 were it took until 1944 to cripple German oil production are we starting to see the effects of Ukraine’s attacks on Russian oil on their military and arms production and how close are we to a Russian oil industry collapse…?

  18. It’s funny you mentioned Albert Speer .. I saw him interviewed and he said after Hamburg that another 2 weeks of concentrated firebombing “ vrs scattered raids” on that scale would have forced Germany to surrender..

  23. The De-Mining of Ukraine 🇺🇦 .. as it is now probably the most heavily mined place on earth.. it’s something the world 🌎 will have to help with ..as God only knows where all those mines are ..and the amount of work it will take to clear them

  24. The Rooskie Army has been described as a stumbling colossus with feet of clay .. Their economy is quite similar… and their history of loosing a war ww1 , Afghanistan and regime change going hand n hand ..

  33. You have raised several excellent questions.. first about doubt The Scientific Method has the Hypothesis Paradox.. for any given phenomenon there are and endless amount of Hypothesis which should be disproven before we can accept a theory as true .. credit to Robert M Pirsig … 2) cranial capacity is not everything neural density may have changed over time .. Birds have very dense brains compared to other species, we may have gotten a Chip upgrade over the millennia … Solzhenitsyn remarked “ if only we had done something when they “ KGB” came to arrest us .. and of course the damage generational alcoholism has wrought upon them both individually and collectively…
