Sim and Jacob break down the status of the Ukrainian and Russian militaries and explore the politics of support for Ukraine and how much time Ukraine has to defeat Russia. Bonus tangents on whether China will invade Taiwan and why you should care that the Sahel, a desert-region of Africa, is seething with instability and violence.--Timestamps:(00:00) - Intro(11:20) – Where is Ukraine’s counteroffensive?(24:05) – What are Ukraine’s objectives?(30:32) – What is the state of Russia’s military?(42:18) – Germany/EU/UK/EU/China views(44:27) – Taiwan tangent(46:07) – December 31st, 2023(55:05) – The Sahel (conflicts you aren't paying attention to)--CI Website: https://cognitive.investmentsCI Twitter: https://twitter.com/CognitiveInvestJacob LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/jacob-l-s-a9337416/Jacob Twitter: https://twitter.com/JacobShapSubscribe to the Newsletter: https://investments.us17.list-manage.com/subscribe?u=156086d89c91a42d264546df7&id=4e31ca1340--Cognitive Investments is an investment advisory firm, founded in 2019 that provides clients with a nuanced array of financial planning, investment advisory and wealth management services.
