well, earlier we spoke with the executive director at the wrong pole piece institute, daniel mcadams, who thinks the nato hurt itself more than russia by supporting those unfit moscow sanctions. we started to see some cracks in the block. they wanted to give the impression of unity, but literally everything that they have thrown against the russia ukraine situation has not only not stuck, but it's been counterproductive, pert nato, more than it's obviously hurt russia. russia continues to rack up victory after victory in the battlefield, not sustainable and in irrational world would have disintegrated at the end of the warsaw pact. the worst, of course, came into being as a response to the creation of nato. there has no reason to exist, and that's why it sort of collapsed into buffoonery. a t o writing checks that can't be cashed by it's individual member governments. the politics and poll being super aggressive toward russians and you have germany facing a very cold winter. a few k faking an economic collapse that's going to spread like contagion throughout the region throughout the
