  1. Nice Job Peter, you are a gifted wordsmith! At 2:21 into your vocast, you say all diplomatic relations between The United States and Russia have now been irrevocably trashed by Putin taking Russia out of the last treaty that prevents an unchecked nuclear build-up by Russia or something to that extent. This makes my blood boil about almost every single aspect of what an autocratic regime like Russia under President Putin is all about. It is farcical that one man can have his say over not just a few underlings for example, but everyone else in a country of 150 million people and even if he is wrong and he proves to be unbalanced and egocentric and willing to have everyone in the world suffer catastrophic events, his orders will still be followed through to the letter! Peter, no matter what anyone says, you tell it like it is and we thank you for it. Meanwhile, back in this totally bizarre planet we live on, I submit that it is pure madness that one individual has the power to shut down relations with the world's most powerful nation on Earth. I will never understand how people in an autocratic regime are willing to put up with having everything decided for them. How could people even want to exist in a country where one has no say in anything and if you express your opinion and it's against the grain, you go straight to jail? The war in Ukraine shows us how insane it is because as Chancellor Scholz said, it's 'Putin's war'. But do you know what has sent me to the gallows of my deepest fears? It's that the whole of South America is staying neutral on the war in Ukraine. In other words, if Russia wins, they can live with that. Ukraine is an existential crisis of proportions that are off-the-charts for our survival in the west.
