Russia’s Victory Plan | The New Cold War | America’s "Fake" Economy

In this episode, we break down why the rumored "peace plans" for Ukraine are likely just noise and why the conflict may only end with a decisive Russian victory. We discuss the geopolitical reality that Putin sees: a Western establishment ideologically driven to destroy Russia, making any treaty signed by a US President temporary at best.

We also dive into the "New Cold War" and the technological Iron Curtain descending between the West and the BRICS nations. Finally, we look home at the American economy—why the US has stopped making things, the crisis of "fake" email jobs, and how the loss of manufacturing has led to a loss of national purpose.
