What’s said in this shiur
The opening of this shiur, in Rabbi Mendel Kessin’s own words— taken from the captions, so names and Hebrew terms may be approximate.
okay we are now in a very uh uh you know interesting period of time so i thought it would be very appropriate to get to tell you what i think it is going on and also what the meaning of it is based on the divine plan so here goes russia has invaded ukraine and the world is now going topsy-turvy and the world is now going topsy-turvy for obvious reasons because uh you know russia obviously has broken the law international law they have invaded ukraine and they don't really have a reason why i mean you know we know in terms of putin he wants to of course restore the russian soviet empire he loved to do that but he has broken the law you know so the world is in tremendous turmoil because of that turmoil because of that not only because ukraine but because they feel he may invade also hungary and poland estonia latvia lithuania the baltic states uh and and other places moldova and so on you know anyway what really seems to be going on you know everybody's got their own opinion but as usual uh most of these opinions are either superficial or they're completely either superficial or they're completely wrong so let me tell you what i think is going on uh first i had mentioned something a long time ago and this really uh illustrates this whole current event crisis you know chess is an interesting game it's a game obviously where you seek to win but you don't win in one move you have to make many many moves
