First, we have a quick chat about taxes for the podcast and some specific taxes in New Mexico.


Then it's onto the main bulk of the episode where we discuss whether Russia will invade Ukraine and why Putin would decide to do so. This leads us to discuss how this might impact China's decision to invade Taiwan and why that is a clear threat to the interests of the United States. 


Then we finish up with two topics. We talk about The Fed hiking interest rates and Justice Stephen Breyer's retirement announcement.


And somehow we have some talk about the Uyghur genocide.


At the very end, Nate tells a funny story about his dating life.


(As you can probably tell, this episode is filled with hope, optimism, and the best of humanity. /S)
