    But Putin is much much smarter and devious than Trump about controlling his Oligarchs. The American Oligarchs can influence Trump because they are smarter than he is and he admires their wealth .

      Putin isn't all that smart. He simply threatened the main oligarch with prison and since the russian legal system is so garbage, he could easily carry out the threats, so they fall in line.

    I love the youtube additions to the pod. It adds just a bit more context. Are you guys planning on getting out of the US for a podcast or even get a bit of a look at Europe ? I'm over there and I really like the perspective you give.

      Even the judge called it rape. New York has a very narrow definition of rape and that why the final charge was not rape. It was determined that trump penetrated E Jean Carroll, but could not prove it was his penis and not his finger, and only penetration with a penis is considered rape by NY law.

    While I have a deep respect for both of you, these types of conversations that keep coming fail to contextualize before threat assessments. The fact is, as Paul knows and has been striving to protect, that the neo classic capitalism structure is on the verge of collapse. Not just because of the incoming administration, but also, because of every administration since 2015’s misunderstanding of the nature of technology and the reality of it’s influence-as Ms Warren and Pelosi have been so vehemently trying to stifle innovation through shenanigans and devices to forestall the very people that have supported them. I, like many liberals on the west coast feel very betrayed by either a misunderstanding or a deliberate attack on the very driver to a greener more progressive future. Calling someone like me and millions of others “tech-bros” does nothing to bridge this divide and furthers the narrative of the right, though they seem to be the only party acknowledging this future.
    The currency flow is going to change Paul, stop promoting something that no longer will work for the sake of the machine.
