The Odds of War + 3 Global Leaders Who Are Putin’ Their Careers At Risk
Animals,
Hopefully it is fake news, but according to Joe Biden, there is going to be a war between Russia and Ukraine soon.
The good news is that American presidents tend to be extremely bad at predicting these kinds of events. For example:
- George W. Bush thought that Iraq was building nukes so we needed to do a war there.
- His successor, Barack O’Bama, trolled Mitt Romney on live TV when he suggested that Russia was America’s biggest security threat. But after the next election, at least 99% of Democrats were high AF on key bumps of “Russia stole the election for Trump” conspiracy powder that Rachael Maddow jammed up their noses.
- And most recently, Donald Trump pretty much thought he could tame Kim Jung Un in North Korea just by showing up with Dennis Rodman and throwing some money around the clubs in Pyonyang
So like I said, American Presidents tend to get really bad info on what foreign regimes are up to.
On this episode of SSG, we’re going to try and make up the slack. Special guest Matthew Shaddick, who is the head of political bookmaking at $markets, is joining to do a full European tour of the situation in Ukraine.
