Rootin for Putin by DNC for War

Jordan from Grand Rapids, Michigan. My question is about Biden’s opening remarks from his State of the Union. After his clique intern written joke about leaving after the applause, he immediately goes after Putin. Stating “He won’t stop with just Ukraine.” All that to ask, what evidence do we have to show that Putin has any intentions of adding to his territorial gains? Other than defense of his border nations from NATO rule. It’s almost like Biden is rooting for Putin to keep going vs asking him to get to the negotiating table REGARDLESS of what Putin asks. Hear him out at least.

Loss of US$ reserve currency status.

G'day Mike, Are you concerned about the threat posed to the US and therefore the West by the loss of the US Dollar's reserve currency status? China and Russia appear to be pushing a de-dollarization strategy, aiming to create a new reserve currency within the BRICS+. Not being able to print the currency in which the US borrows could force a sudden halt to the upward spiral of US Government debt, with serious consequences for America's economic strength and her influence in the world....The music will stop, someone will say the Emperor has no clothes etc.

Russian Stockpile Stewardship

Mike- considering the numerous sabers being rattled by Putins sycophants, I am curious about the Russian Stockpiles viability. I know the lengths we take here regarding stockpile stewardship, life extension programs, and mods for our own devices, but do we know about the reliability of the Russian devices? Do we believe that they’re fully capable and reliably effective? Thank you Sir! Respectfully, Lee in Brentwood Northern California

Hi Mike, Love the show. Thanks for all the great information. Since you mentioned a Plymouth martini the other day, I'm assuming that Plymouth is your favorite gin. It is certainly mine. Just wondering, do you drink conventionally martinis, or do you have a unique twist of your own? Thanks, Steve Stephen Falko, Southfield, Michigan.

Israel's mistakes

Vince, from Columbus, Ohio. Go bucks! It seems to be that Israel's response to 10/7 has had similar mistakes to our own response in the middle east, following 9/11. We lost a great deal of global standing and authority after those conflicts, and Israel has already been brought up on genocide charges in front of the World Court. If you could sit down with Benjamin Netanyahu, how might you advise him to avoid the same pitfalls America has stumbled into?
