I need to catch up on Tucker with Elon and this, as you say ... about Russia.

I have been following the 'new Russia' in depth for quite a few years. Moscow and Petersburg are so, so different. Just bright cheerful, stores jammed full, a clean and neat look. Gone is that Soviet era drabness. It blow me away. And the 'new city' in Moscow with skyscrapers did not exist when I was there.

Also, people did not understand how much financial strength Russia has ... something like twenty percent sovereign debt to GDP, super-strong Ruble, excellent foreign exchange balance sheet, strong industrial base. And the Western fools thought they could take down the Federation with the sick man dollar system.

Thanks Maggie! Take good care of yourself and those around you.
