Hey welcome back. My name is tom. As always: don't click, nothing, don't smash. Nothing don't buy nothing, just listen! So basically, germany came out yesterday and said: hey we're stopping nordstream 2..

Now, initially, i'm going to be honest with you, i thought that nordstream 2 is a department store they're building in germany, but apparently not it's an actual pipeline so pipeline. That's supposed to double the amount of gas being provided by russia to germany and as it stands, germany is pretty much. You know full-on russia at this point, they're rushing in to get that gas. Sorry about that joke, but basically you know: they're 55 of the gas is coming from russia and this is supposed to double it, so you're supposed to have 110 of russian gas whatever.

That means, but basically germany said nine, and i thought that this was hilarious. First of all i'll talk about it and i think it's a massive sanction, but i thought this was funny because for the first time in history we have a situation where the german bureaucracy, which the germans are infamous for remember, tesla, that german bureaucracy has been weaponized By mr schultz again putin, finally, the german bureaucracy is being weaponized against the forces of evil and i never thought i'd see the day when i'd say good job german bureaucrats. I mean they basically said well we're stopping. I can do german accents we're stopping the certification of north stream too, and it's kind of an own goal to germany, but it's kind of a poisoned pill as well.

They have balls i'll give them that it's. It takes a lot to do what they did, because, essentially it's like saying well, if you attack me, i'm gon na stab myself in the chest, and they just did so. Obviously, russia isn't too concerned about this. They have so much money from gas and plenty of customers potentially and germany will pay a higher price for gas because of that for sure.

But it's a nice message to basically send to russia. Germany saying hey. I know you hold us by the balls right now, but what you did right now sends us the message that we need to diversify our gas consumption because we can't be dependent on you because you batshit crazy. But what i have to say here is that, even though germany is in tight spot and even though this was supposed to make gas cheaper, more accessible to germany, this is basically telling putin to off, and i appreciate that i mean um fighting for for ukraine and Standing up for people who are being bullied, i mean it's, not cheap and you know germans have redeemed themselves.

In my opinion, they went from this whole helmets fiasco to this, i'm not even being cynical. Good job putin also faces some really weird and quirky sanctions from the u.s side, which i found a little bit laughable. So we have uh biden coming out yesterday and talking about potential sanctions against russia. Most of them are quite laughable.

It's not like they're taking russia off swift, which would be a death sentence, the russian economy they're. Basically, you know sanctioning a couple of russian banks. Okay and there's actually been some talks about sanctioning putin's girlfriend now. Just to i can't believe, i'm talking about this essentially they're saying that they might sanction putin's romantic partner.

I guess that's how to define it. So in case you didn't know, putin was actually divorced since 2014 and he has a girlfriend reportedly a 38 year old. Former famous gymnast, i'm guessing it's a flexible relationship, i'm just kidding and um yeah. So how would they? How would that work i mean? Would they ban him from tinder? I mean hello.

My name is vlad. I like to invade countries. He'll have to change his name on tinder, like turn ons invading ukraine turnoffs western colonialism. Also, i am not putin.

How would they how they sanction his girlfriend? How would this even work? How would they sanction his girlfriend and why would he care i mean we're talking about the most. You know prolific gangster dictator of the past 30 years i mean, do you really think he's gon na say? Oh no, you blocked my girlfriend's bank account. I'm gon na uninvade ukraine, i mean what were they thinking and in fact you know, i think it's kind of funny, because i think that biden is a little bit disappointed because i think putting light to him. He promised everybody no more ukrainian invasion and we all thought he lied given what he did yesterday.

But apparently we didn't see the exclamation mark. It was no more ukrainian invasion. So you have to look at the punctuation science. It's really important now.

He did also say he is actually sending a peacekeeping force to ukraine, at least to lugansk and donetsk and again he's just being literal. You guys don't understand it's, not peace, p e, a c e, it's p-i-e-c-e! It's a piece of ukraine like he grabbed a piece of crimea and now he's grabbing a piece of eastern ukraine. You know he's putting a piece of ukraine in his back pocket again, so it's a peacekeeping. You know you understand peace, keeping, force he's keeping peace of ukraine.

That's the problem with all of you, nice, europeans and americans. You don't understand how direct the man is. He just told you what he's gon na do and he did it and of course, unfortunately, we have to talk about the end of the romance palantir archives, kathy wood. The love triangle is done.

It's gone no longer together, kathy wood in arkansas sold out of their position in palantir almost entirely and bought kathy's brother, a company instead anthony woods. Roku is now basically being purchased at a wholesale by arkhanvest. I don't know if he's a brother, i'm just kidding, but i kind of you know find it kind of funny. You know kathy wood, anthony wood.

The woods are back together. The boys are back in town, i'm not going to do that. Anyways. So, jokes aside, what the hell is going on? Why did kathy wood salt out of palantir and bought a bunch of roku, so i'm assuming she thinks roku is a more innovative company than valentir.

Did i just say this out loud yeah? I don't know what she's doing uh look. I don't want to be critical of kathy. I think kathy has a bad year or a bad career she's, not having a good time right now i mean i shouldn't be doing talking. I mean i'm kind of the flag bearer of pallet deer.

With my you know, i don't even know how much money i'm down on valentine. So you know people who live in palantir houses shouldn't throw stones. I get it, but all i'm saying is that if you were talking about a five-year horizon plan and investing in deep value, innovation and being patient - and you bought this at the 20s, why would you sell now? I just don't understand what would be her logic, but of course, jokes aside, i want to give a shout out to trader joe on my twitter, who actually explained to me exactly what kathy wood is doing. Finally understand so, i'm going to read you his comment because i think he got it so trading is easy.

That's kathy's kind of mantra right trading is easy. First, you average down. Okay, i got it and then you sell at a lower price when you run out of patience, got it. Thank you kathy and before i let you go two things that are really important number one.

I think i got a solution for the russia, ukraine problem. No jokes: i'm dead serious, so what we can do to prevent any further escalation. We can issue an nft of ukraine. Let's take a picture like a satellite picture, make it an nft and just give it to putin.

You know he can own that. Maybe he doesn't invade, i don't know on the serious note you actually have a youtube channel and your creator, i'm sure you've seen the bot comments, the scammers, the spammers with all these bots with 5700 comments about dr j smith, the best trader in the world, blah Blah blah now, just a few days ago, i started using a software, the same software that dave lee uses and chicken genius cam uses. I started using the software. It's amazing.

It doesn't clean 100 of these by about 90 and i don't have to do nothing. Just every 10 minutes sweeps my channel cleans all these spammers out and my audience is safer. Now, if you want to use the software for a whole week and test it out, i'm going to put a link below i really love. What they're doing i don't endorse products which i don't personally use.

That's why i only adore this and tip ranks. I don't endorse vpn services and stuff like that, that i don't know nothing about. This is actually legit tried it out. It works.

I do recommend you actually check it out as well. The link is going to be below first week for free. Then you get a 10 off and before i go just a huge thank you for the channel members and the patrons. Thank you so much.
