You know, like I'm not, I ain't 210 00:12:50,040 --> 00:12:51,560 Speaker 1: gonna eat over there, you know what I'm saying, Like 211 00:12:51,559 --> 00:12:53,760 Speaker 1: now you're asking for it. You feel me like you 212 00:12:53,880 --> 00:12:56,280 Speaker 1: got sense enough to know not to go directly to 213 00:12:56,320 --> 00:12:58,480 Speaker 1: the war. I know where y'all fighting. Not going over there, 214 00:12:58,920 --> 00:13:00,960 Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying. But yeah, I mean so, 215 00:13:01,040 --> 00:13:03,360 Speaker 1: don't get me wrong, it's like we're just brazenly walking 216 00:13:03,400 --> 00:13:05,200 Speaker 1: around the city like we knew what parts to go, 217 00:13:05,240 --> 00:13:08,239 Speaker 1: doing what parts not to at least to play your odds. 218 00:13:08,280 --> 00:13:12,400 Speaker 1: But I mean, life went on. It's both, you know 219 00:13:12,440 --> 00:13:15,360 Speaker 1: what I mean. I'm like, dude, if that's not hood life, 220 00:13:15,400 --> 00:13:19,160 Speaker 1: it's just it's both anyway, So that's going on down there. 221 00:13:19,200 --> 00:13:22,319 Speaker 1: There's been like a ratcheting up of like Russian troops 222 00:13:22,360 --> 00:13:27,440 Speaker 1: at the border of the Ukrainian in Russia. And another 223 00:13:27,480 --> 00:13:30,360 Speaker 1: thing that's really interesting about this is like a lot 224 00:13:30,440 --> 00:13:35,360 Speaker 1: of Ukrainians are ethnically Russian. A lot of them aren't, 225 00:13:35,400 --> 00:13:38,719 Speaker 1: but a lot of them are. So there's this like 226 00:13:40,920 --> 00:13:43,600 Speaker 1: weird like especially from like the West, like we have 227 00:13:43,679 --> 00:13:46,440 Speaker 1: a hard time because we look over there and be like, yeah, 228 00:13:46,480 --> 00:13:51,160 Speaker 1: white people, I don't understand white right, So when you 229 00:13:51,240 --> 00:13:54,880 Speaker 1: say ethnic difference, it's like, I mean, I guess you 230 00:13:54,920 --> 00:13:58,280 Speaker 1: feel me. But but there is there's some like like 231 00:13:59,160 --> 00:14:04,960 Speaker 1: some like rival ethnics. Because again, remember state borderlines, nation states, 232 00:14:05,040 --> 00:14:08,040 Speaker 1: they're modern like they're made up. It doesn't occur in 233 00:14:08,080 --> 00:14:14,880 Speaker 1: the geology, Like it's just they're made up. So the 234 00:14:14,960 --> 00:14:19,280 Speaker 1: line at the Ukraine in Russian border, like that's because 235 00:14:19,320 --> 00:14:22,840 Speaker 1: of post Soviet Union, Like that's not you, yeah, y'all 236 00:14:22,880 --> 00:14:25,680 Speaker 1: following me, Like that line was made. It wasn't always there. 237 00:14:25,720 --> 00:14:28,040 Speaker 1: The map, the globes that I looked at in my 238 00:14:28,160 --> 00:14:31,960 Speaker 1: first few years of elementary school didn't say Russia. It 239 00:14:32,120 --> 00:14:35,600 Speaker 1: said the uss Are, it said the Soviet Union. It 240 00:14:35,680 --> 00:14:41,360 Speaker 1: was an entire, this entire swath, this big old chunk 241 00:14:41,480 --> 00:14:45,640 Speaker 1: of the globe was all theirs. And then the colde 242 00:14:45,680 --> 00:14:50,160 Speaker 1: War ended and the Soviet Union was broken up, and 243 00:14:50,240 --> 00:14:52,600 Speaker 1: a lot of us don't really have a brain around 244 00:14:52,640 --> 00:14:56,680 Speaker 1: like like how significant that was. You know, Kazakhstan is 245 00:14:56,720 --> 00:15:01,000 Speaker 1: beckett Stan, like all these different Yugoslavia, all these different 246 00:15:01,280 --> 00:15:06,480 Speaker 1: now became their own nations because the Soviet block was 247 00:15:06,520 --> 00:15:11,000 Speaker 1: like was broken up. One of those countries, it's Kazakhstan, 248 00:15:11,400 --> 00:15:15,720 Speaker 1: which right now is going through its own protests over 249 00:15:15,840 --> 00:15:20,760 Speaker 1: this hike and like petroleum prices, so like they had 250 00:15:20,800 --> 00:15:23,920 Speaker 1: this like super peaceful protest that was over uh this, 251 00:15:24,160 --> 00:15:27,240 Speaker 1: like they had this three year sanction on raising sort 252 00:15:27,240 --> 00:15:30,320 Speaker 1: of the prices on the gas that you know, most 253 00:15:30,360 --> 00:15:34,240 Speaker 1: poor communities use. And remember like Kazakhstanard actually produces most 254 00:15:34,280 --> 00:15:38,120 Speaker 1: of the oil and gas for a lot of Central Europe, 255 00:15:38,160 --> 00:15:40,520 Speaker 1: you know, but they're getting it at this like super 256 00:15:40,600 --> 00:15:43,520 Speaker 1: high premium, and they was like, Yo, this this is bonkers. 257 00:15:43,560 --> 00:15:47,080 Speaker 1: I gotta stop doing this, right And and then that 258 00:15:47,080 --> 00:15:50,880 Speaker 1: that price hike became sort of a catalyst or the 259 00:15:51,000 --> 00:15:56,760 Speaker 1: symbol for just an overall corruption of their government, you know. 260 00:15:57,200 --> 00:16:01,400 Speaker 1: And then like anything else, just like out here, when 261 00:16:02,080 --> 00:16:05,840 Speaker 1: it got dark, some provocateers we're gonna call them that 262 00:16:06,080 --> 00:16:10,040 Speaker 1: came out started getting violent, and was they paid? Was 263 00:16:10,080 --> 00:16:12,160 Speaker 1: they really a part of the troop? I don't know. 264 00:16:12,200 --> 00:16:17,160 Speaker 1: The internet was shut down over there, but there are 265 00:16:17,440 --> 00:16:20,440 Speaker 1: some like corroberated reports, and again I'm a link all 266 00:16:20,440 --> 00:16:23,320 Speaker 1: this stuff, their coroberative reports that are kind of that 267 00:16:23,360 --> 00:16:28,120 Speaker 1: are expressing that like, no, no, they were these were 268 00:16:28,480 --> 00:16:31,440 Speaker 1: paid bad actors like they not. They wouldn't have parted 269 00:16:31,480 --> 00:16:35,600 Speaker 1: this movement. The homie Jake hadn't ra having uh also 270 00:16:35,640 --> 00:16:37,920 Speaker 1: on network on his on his own stuff to popular 271 00:16:38,000 --> 00:16:42,040 Speaker 1: front like podcasts like his his reporting on like conflicts 272 00:16:42,080 --> 00:16:44,600 Speaker 1: across the world, like it's it's a really good um 273 00:16:44,840 --> 00:16:48,000 Speaker 1: source to check out. So plugging that, I'll pope put 274 00:16:48,000 --> 00:16:52,080 Speaker 1: that in a notes too. And then the government freakishly 275 00:16:52,120 --> 00:16:55,440 Speaker 1: cracked down. They was shooting right, like you we think 276 00:16:55,480 --> 00:16:59,040 Speaker 1: we think our cops like shoot. They was like no, 277 00:16:59,240 --> 00:17:04,000 Speaker 1: they shoot right. So much so that Russia has their 278 00:17:04,040 --> 00:17:07,280 Speaker 1: own version, Like I'm gonna get to why this is 279 00:17:07,280 --> 00:17:10,120 Speaker 1: so important, But Russia got their own version of like 280 00:17:10,680 --> 00:17:14,000 Speaker 1: of a U N. And it's called like the c 281 00:17:14,359 --> 00:17:17,600 Speaker 1: S t O. Right, it's like a military alliance. It's 282 00:17:17,640 --> 00:17:20,680 Speaker 1: the Collective Security Treaty organization. It's kind of like they're 283 00:17:21,200 --> 00:17:23,639 Speaker 1: it's it's I'm gonna get to this in a second. 284 00:17:23,720 --> 00:17:27,240 Speaker 1: But uh, they sent them in squashed the thing there 285 00:17:27,320 --> 00:17:30,639 Speaker 1: was like because the president of Kazakhstan asked Russia to 286 00:17:30,640 --> 00:17:35,160 Speaker 1: send these dudes to come like squash this beef, and 287 00:17:37,040 --> 00:17:39,359 Speaker 1: they did and they left. They did it in a 288 00:17:39,480 --> 00:17:41,320 Speaker 1: very Russian way. I'm gonna let you all feel in 289 00:17:41,359 --> 00:17:43,959 Speaker 1: the blanks as to what that means. And then they 290 00:17:44,040 --> 00:17:46,840 Speaker 1: rolled out. You know, what does all this have to 291 00:17:46,880 --> 00:17:51,560 Speaker 1: do with the Nipsey Hustle sung? And why did I 292 00:17:51,640 --> 00:17:54,280 Speaker 1: bring all this stuff up? And why am I talking 293 00:17:54,280 --> 00:17:58,399 Speaker 1: about the Cold War? Let's tie it all together after 294 00:17:58,400 --> 00:18:39,680 Speaker 1: this break, m all right. So here's the perfect collision 295 00:18:39,960 --> 00:18:46,800 Speaker 1: of my street antennas with my political antennas. And these 296 00:18:46,800 --> 00:18:52,280 Speaker 1: things only work if you understand history, and not only history, 297 00:18:52,440 --> 00:18:56,960 Speaker 1: but history in terms of the dates and what happened 298 00:18:57,040 --> 00:18:58,880 Speaker 1: in history, in terms of like, this is just how 299 00:18:58,920 --> 00:19:03,320 Speaker 1: people act, This is how people lord and in this 300 00:19:04,800 --> 00:19:13,399 Speaker 1: is if you understand how hard of a blow to 301 00:19:13,600 --> 00:19:18,720 Speaker 1: your pride losing the Cold War must have been, and 302 00:19:18,760 --> 00:19:23,080 Speaker 1: even accepting that it was a loss, it would be 303 00:19:23,119 --> 00:19:26,800 Speaker 1: the equivalent if somebody just said you know what, all 304 00:19:26,920 --> 00:19:32,000 Speaker 1: gang wars are done the crypts one, So all your 305 00:19:32,040 --> 00:19:36,920 Speaker 1: bloods just everybody just turning your egs.

So the 312 00:20:01,840 --> 00:20:06,080 Speaker 1: type of this, and think about everything you know about 313 00:20:07,320 --> 00:20:10,800 Speaker 1: Russian history, which is probably nothing except for Mikhail Gorvitov, 314 00:20:10,920 --> 00:20:14,000 Speaker 1: maybe like Vladimir Putin, Like I don't know much, you 315 00:20:14,040 --> 00:20:18,119 Speaker 1: know what I'm saying, But if you understand something about that, 316 00:20:18,119 --> 00:20:22,239 Speaker 1: that Russian way of life, that empire, I feel like 317 00:20:22,280 --> 00:20:26,640 Speaker 1: anybody from that type of cold right, whether we talk 318 00:20:26,680 --> 00:20:30,240 Speaker 1: about the North Sagas, the Scandinavian folks or these Russian 319 00:20:30,240 --> 00:20:33,119 Speaker 1: when you come from that type of code, you're just 320 00:20:33,359 --> 00:20:38,600 Speaker 1: angry and brawley and yo saying like you can't live 321 00:20:38,640 --> 00:20:40,600 Speaker 1: in that type of code and have a good attitude, 322 00:20:40,680 --> 00:20:45,480 Speaker 1: you know what I mean? Right, So that Russian Empire, 323 00:20:46,119 --> 00:20:49,000 Speaker 1: when we think about like imperialistic expansion. Most time we're 324 00:20:49,000 --> 00:20:52,240 Speaker 1: talking about like Western Europe, like you're talking about France 325 00:20:52,320 --> 00:20:54,960 Speaker 1: and you know, and taking parts of Africa, and then 326 00:20:55,000 --> 00:20:58,520 Speaker 1: we think about Portugal, parts of South America speak Portuguese, Spain. 327 00:20:58,680 --> 00:21:01,040 Speaker 1: My lord got went all over the place. And then 328 00:21:01,080 --> 00:21:03,880 Speaker 1: the little engine that could, which was the UK. Right, 329 00:21:04,119 --> 00:21:07,640 Speaker 1: and they don't conquered like the British Empire. People say 330 00:21:07,640 --> 00:21:09,359 Speaker 1: the sun never said on it because they they still 331 00:21:09,400 --> 00:21:12,400 Speaker 1: got colonies, you know what I'm saying, Like Britain conquered 332 00:21:12,960 --> 00:21:17,160 Speaker 1: so much. Those are usually the only the expansions we're 333 00:21:17,160 --> 00:21:20,040 Speaker 1: talking about now. Germany tried to get their expansion on two, 334 00:21:20,080 --> 00:21:22,320 Speaker 1: but they were the Prussians, right, They tried to get 335 00:21:22,320 --> 00:21:26,600 Speaker 1: the expansion on two. The problem was they were blocked 336 00:21:26,640 --> 00:21:30,480 Speaker 1: in on two sides. One side was the Russian Empire. 337 00:21:31,359 --> 00:21:34,520 Speaker 1: The other side was the French Empire. You understand what 338 00:21:34,520 --> 00:21:38,280 Speaker 1: I'm saying, Like, so Russia really couldn't get. Prussia, which 339 00:21:38,320 --> 00:21:41,600 Speaker 1: became Germany really couldn't get. They couldn't get they colonized 340 00:21:41,640 --> 00:21:43,520 Speaker 1: on You understand what I'm saying, Because youre in between 341 00:21:43,560 --> 00:21:46,520 Speaker 1: two superpowers, my nigget, like you can't There was nothing 342 00:21:46,560 --> 00:21:49,960 Speaker 1: they can do except for cause of war. You feel me, 343 00:21:50,200 --> 00:21:53,720 Speaker 1: and then there's Austria, there's Hungry, there's Turkey. There's nowhere 344 00:21:53,760 --> 00:21:57,040 Speaker 1: for them to go because everybody around them is about it, right. 345 00:21:57,480 --> 00:22:01,040 Speaker 1: Russia came from that type of higher building that was 346 00:22:01,160 --> 00:22:04,840 Speaker 1: much more like the old ways, more like Rome, more 347 00:22:04,920 --> 00:22:07,880 Speaker 1: like Greece, like general, where it was like you expand 348 00:22:08,000 --> 00:22:11,040 Speaker 1: just like you spread wide, like you try to you 349 00:22:11,080 --> 00:22:14,520 Speaker 1: conquer the lands around you and try to like and 350 00:22:14,560 --> 00:22:17,080 Speaker 1: then you and then you bring people there, and then 351 00:22:17,119 --> 00:22:21,240 Speaker 1: you start commingling your ethnicity with their's and you spread 352 00:22:21,359 --> 00:22:25,239 Speaker 1: kind of like with like surrounding areas. So that's kind 353 00:22:25,240 --> 00:22:28,160 Speaker 1: of how Russia work. That's different than like the age 354 00:22:28,160 --> 00:22:30,920 Speaker 1: of expansion, you know, the imperialism that we understand where 355 00:22:30,920 --> 00:22:32,600 Speaker 1: it's like no, and you get on a boat and 356 00:22:32,640 --> 00:22:35,400 Speaker 1: you go build these colonies weighs somewhere else, and it's 357 00:22:35,440 --> 00:22:37,680 Speaker 1: to scattered plot across the land, you know what I'm saying. 358 00:22:37,800 --> 00:22:40,320 Speaker 1: And that's partially because again when you're looking at Western Europe, 359 00:22:40,359 --> 00:22:43,159 Speaker 1: y'all all butted up against each other. There's nowhere to 360 00:22:43,320 --> 00:22:47,040 Speaker 1: expand except for what they called the New World. Like 361 00:22:47,080 --> 00:22:49,359 Speaker 1: there was nowhere for them to go. Russia was still 362 00:22:49,359 --> 00:22:51,800 Speaker 1: cut from that old Claude. Russia was one of the 363 00:22:51,880 --> 00:22:56,639 Speaker 1: later countries to even industrialize, like they was very much 364 00:22:57,400 --> 00:23:02,679 Speaker 1: hella agricultural hella like Goryan, like much longer than the 365 00:23:02,720 --> 00:23:05,600 Speaker 1: rest of Europe that modernized, you know what I'm saying, 366 00:23:05,640 --> 00:23:07,639 Speaker 1: Like that stuff was like that was a weird and 367 00:23:07,680 --> 00:23:10,399 Speaker 1: they but but with that, they was up there in 368 00:23:10,520 --> 00:23:13,879 Speaker 1: the Code balling out of control. If you want to 369 00:23:13,920 --> 00:23:16,480 Speaker 1: stand like take take the time at some point to 370 00:23:16,480 --> 00:23:21,040 Speaker 1: go look at Russian like oligarchy, the Russian monarchs, like 371 00:23:21,480 --> 00:23:26,120 Speaker 1: the type of like rich people stuff they did. I mean, 372 00:23:26,240 --> 00:23:31,359 Speaker 1: it's just observed they were the opulets nigge, the balling 373 00:23:31,480 --> 00:23:36,439 Speaker 1: out of control that the Russian oligarchies did. Like we 374 00:23:36,480 --> 00:23:41,320 Speaker 1: don't have categories for that because it's not like we 375 00:23:41,400 --> 00:23:44,000 Speaker 1: don't talk about them because because again out here in 376 00:23:44,000 --> 00:23:45,840 Speaker 1: the West, they was considered the enemy, you know what 377 00:23:45,880 --> 00:23:47,840 Speaker 1: I'm saying, So we don't we ain't gonna ever like 378 00:23:48,119 --> 00:23:50,120 Speaker 1: flex for them, Like you're not gonna really learn about 379 00:23:50,160 --> 00:23:52,640 Speaker 1: the Russians, you know what I'm saying, But like their 380 00:23:52,800 --> 00:23:57,080 Speaker 1: history because like it's absurd now once you get to 381 00:23:57,080 --> 00:23:59,840 Speaker 1: the Code War, they even did things their own way 382 00:24:00,680 --> 00:24:02,840 Speaker 1: during that time too, because remember we was chasing them 383 00:24:02,840 --> 00:24:04,600 Speaker 1: all over the map and the code or wherever they 384 00:24:04,680 --> 00:24:06,600 Speaker 1: was at, We was at there were it was our job. 385 00:24:07,000 --> 00:24:08,199 Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying.
