=== NATO War vs. Russia (03:20) ===

[00:00:00]  So we're in the car going to the Serbian embassy to meet with the president of Serbia who is in town.
[00:00:06]  Serbia has the distinction of being one of the countries in the region that's been bombed by NATO in 1999. So I think he's got an interesting perspective on what's happening in Ukraine, the NATO war against Russia.
[00:00:21]  That is worth hearing, we think.
[00:00:23]  And he's a smart guy, apparently.
[00:00:24]  You want to see today, I have ministers here that wanted to make selfie with you.
[00:00:29]  Please.
[00:00:30]  Thank you.
[00:00:31]  You're very welcome.
[00:00:33]  Nice to meet you.
[00:00:36]  Thank you.
[00:00:36]  Nice to meet you.
[00:00:38]  As you can see, all of them wanted to meet you, like, waiting in a queue.
[00:00:44]  This is our ambassador queue, Hungary.
[00:00:48]  And this is, and his son is your biggest fan in Serbia.
[00:00:51]  My oldest son is your biggest fan, sir.
[00:00:53]  How old is he?
[00:00:54]  Seventeen, believe it.
[00:00:55]  The biggest fan.
[00:00:56]  I'm Minister of Sports.
[00:00:57]  Tucker Carlson, nice to meet you.
[00:00:59]  Thank you.
[00:01:00]  I'm the Minister of Sports, I'm the Minister of Finance, this is our president.
[00:01:05]  You are the ministers, I'm nobody cares.
[00:01:09]  Thank you.
[00:01:10]  Oh, this is so nice.
[00:01:12]  Then you can, then you can eat, we're gonna sit there, then you can come to eat.
[00:01:15]  I love it!
[00:01:16]  Good.
[00:01:20]  What sport did you play?
[00:01:22]  Volleyball.
[00:01:23]  Really?
[00:01:24]  Volleyball.
[00:01:25]  I'm impressed.
[00:01:26]  He is the most famous volleyball coach almost in an entire world.
[00:01:32]  He won World Championship.
[00:01:34]  That's a hard sport.
[00:01:35]  Competition and Olympics and everything else.
[00:01:39]  Yes.
[00:01:39]  Olympic World in Europe.
[00:01:41]  Amazing.
[00:01:42]  And champion six countries.
[00:01:45]  Really?
[00:01:45]  How old are you?
[00:01:47]  How old are you?
[00:01:48]  65. So you look young.
[00:01:51]  Volleyball keeps you young.
[00:01:52]  It's true.
[00:01:53]  Thank you.
[00:01:53]  See ya.
[00:01:54]  Thank you.
[00:01:54]  Have a nice day.
[00:01:55]  Have a good day.
[00:01:56]  Have a good day.
[00:01:57]  See you.
[00:01:57]  We just met with the president of Serbia who is advertised is smart and aware and has perspective that you don't get in the United States very often.
[00:02:09]  One of the points he made is that The war in Ukraine, the war against Russia led by NATO, has crushed the European economy.
[00:02:18]  The destruction of Nord Stream by the Biden administration, either directly or through proxies, is killing the German economy.
[00:02:26]  And the German economy is the largest economy in Europe by far.
[00:02:29]  And so the downstream effects of that, one NATO country effectively attacking another NATO country, are felt throughout Europe.
[00:02:38]  And that's crazy.
[00:02:40]  That's completely crazy.
[00:02:42]  This war is hurting everybody, possibly with the exception of long term, of Russia and empowering everybody outside of Europe.
[00:02:55]  The Gulf States, China, Turkey.
[00:02:58]  So you're really seeing the world reset in response to this war.
[00:03:04]  It's a little more complicated than Hitler versus Churchill, good versus bad.
[00:03:09]  Democracy!
[00:03:10]  It's really about a massive shift in power away from the United States and the West to the East.
