 So, let me just say about Russia and Europe first. Europe crippled itself. Europe doesn't have to be reliant on Russia. Europe created the reliance on Russia. And it created the reliance on Russia knowing Putin, knowing who he was, remember? This is not the first war Putin is engaged in. I think it was 2008, then invaded Georgia, and basically took two provinces in Georgia and made them independent, but the parts of Georgia. He's fought two wars with the Chechens, brutal wars in Chechnya, two wars, because they tried to seed from Russia. They tried to establish their own Chechen Republic. And he just crushed them and destroyed whole cities and flattened all places. And of course, in 2014 he invaded Ukraine. And in spite of all of that history, and in spite of Putin's character and the way he oppresses his own people, the Europeans have become more and more and more dependent on Russian gas, which is not necessary. So, for example, Britain, the United Kingdom, they have natural gas. If they allowed fracking, they could get natural gas. They wouldn't need, instead of investing in fracking, which is very cheap, very easy to do. They invested in windmills in the ocean, which is very expensive, very dangerous, very risky and not very reliable. And the funniest one, I mean, Germany has invested huge amounts of money in solar panels. I mean, have you ever been to Germany? There's no sun. I mean, it's not Texas. It's Germany, it's middle of Europe, it's cloudy, and yet they've invested huge amounts of money in solar panels. So, Germany used to have lots of energy capacity from nuclear. They've shut most of it down. They were going to shut down the last three nuclear power plants, and now they brought it back. Japan, I understand, is bringing back its nuclear energy, which is good. You should be investing in new nuclear plants because your old ones, as we saw in Fukuyama, not very good. So, we should be investing in technologies that actually work, instead of in solar panels and in wind and all of this, that gives power to the Putin's of the world or even to the Saudi Arabia of the world. I'm not happy about the fact that the Saudis have as much power as they do. And they have as much power as they do, partially because they stole the oil that was developed by Western countries, but then also because we don't develop our own resources. The United States is different because they are allowed for fracking. So, they discovered fracking and then they let it loose. And one of the reasons the United States is struggling a little bit now is because Biden, when he came in, said he's launching a war on fossil fuels. So, nobody's gonna invest in fossil fuels if the president says there's a war on fossil fuels so investment went down and they weren't ready for the crisis. But we are chopping our own legs off. We are weakening ourselves. So, we need to make sure that we're not dependent on authoritarian regimes. We should have done that a long time ago with the Middle East. But we didn't. We should have not allowed Saudi Arabia to control all the oil and the Gulf countries to control all the oil. But we allowed them to do that. We shouldn't allow the Russians to have a monopoly over natural gas into Europe. And I hope Europe's learning a lesson and they're building LNG facilities. And now they're gonna import natural gas from Israel and Egypt and from Oman and from other places and different places. So hopefully they'll diversify and hopefully they can cut Russia off.
