Speaker 1 (00:00):
The Watchdog on Wall Street podcast explaining the news coming
out of the complex worlds of finance, economics, and politics
and the impact it we'll have on everyday Americans. Author,
investment banker, consumer advocate, analyst, and trader Chris Markowski.
Speaker 2 (00:16):
World War three. It's not hyperbole, and it's unfortunate, but
that's I think how most of the country is actually
taking it. When Donald Trump in the debate starts talking
about foreign policy, talks about dragging us into World War three,
He's not wrong. He just is an awful communicator. Awful communicator.
(00:41):
That point that he made in debate was so important
and it was so true, yet again lost in the
sauce again, and I'm going to blame it on him,
his inability to get that point across. I am again
growing up in the seventies and the eighties. I wasn't
around for the Cuban missile crisis. But again, I tell
(01:05):
my kids about how in elementary school we would have
bomb you know bomb uh, you know, drills, or we'd
hide underneath our desk, and I remember how stupid I
thought they were, even at the time, saying, you know,
I knew what a nuclear weapon was capable of and
what hiding underneath the desk is gonna, you know, save me.
(01:26):
And you know we had the you know the movies
back in the time. We had was Red Dawn, you know,
where the Russians and the Chinese and the Cubans invade.
And then there was the It's back when it was
only like three networks one much on TV. Back then,
they had The Day After Tomorrow. It was a big
television event. Big television events supposed to scare the pants
(01:51):
off of everyone. Anyway, what I am witnessing, what I'm
watching right now, again, its not hyperbole. I cannot recall.
I cannot recall a time in my life, and I've
been trying all day tonight where we've been this close
(02:12):
to really going at it with Russia. Back then it
was the Soviet Union. We are flirting right now with
allowing Ukraine to use Western precision guided missiles into Russia,
long range strikes into Russia. There was a lengthy interview
(02:34):
with Vladimir Putin that again I suggest you go and
watch translated it, and you know, basically explaining that these
missiles don't work unless they're using European and American satellites.
They're not going to work. Ukraine doesn't have the capabilities
of using these missiles. So what he's saying is if
(02:57):
they use these missiles and strike deep into Russia, that
would elevate the conflict with a direct, direct conflict with NATO.
Let's just leave it at that, a direct conflict with NATO.
This will need I'm quoting putin, this will mean that
NATO countries, the United States and European countries are fighting
(03:20):
against Russia. That what you want? Is that what you want?
You think that this is a good idea. Here's another
another story. Again, none of this in the mainstream media.
None of this in the mainstream I have never I'm
I can't recall. I remember Bush being rebuked by some
(03:43):
leaders over in Europe, but not to this degree. I
mean a Secretary of Stay of the United States, the
Polish minister to the European Parliament, and I quote and
I quote blinken go home and as soon as possible,
get lost. We don't want you here. We don't want
(04:04):
Polish people paying and dying for your wars. Blincoln does
not speak for us, nor will we vote for this
endless war. This is this what's taken place right now? No,
it's not hyperbunked by any stretch of the imagination. Things
(04:30):
can escalate again, you need to be a bit of
a student of history. And no, why don't I bring
it up this book I recently read. I enjoy Victor
Davis Hansen's work, I do, And he did a recent book.
It was basically on the absolute basically the annihilation of civilizations.
(04:53):
And you read it and you can kind of see,
you know, you see how things can escalate very quickly,
very quickly, and you don't want to play around with
that by any stretch of the imagination. Now, we should
not be allowing Western weapons to be having long range
strikes into Russia. Watchdog on Wall Street dot Com
