Well timed. That is how it landed. A book about the Oil And Gas Industry and a big chunk of the book was about the craziness and the corruption in the ukraine. Then it was the playing field. I didnt intend it to land it that way. Well, now of course mr. Trump is being impeached for a second time.

Trump is being impeached for a second time, and its kind of uncanny a lot of the things that i wrote about in that book that came out during the first trump impeachment. Theyre sort of coming home to roost now. The whole reason i wrote that book is because i think we were pretty consistently underestimating the sway of this one industry, how much sway the Oil And Gas Industry has over politics and whole governments, both here in the United States and around the world. And so, i thought it would be helpful. I thoug
