The Three Things Christmas--Serbian elections, UBOs, Hunter tales, cop tales, and the war in Ukraine

Yes, it's the Three Things Christmas Edition (episode 20), courtesy of The Corners (www.thecorners.pl) and CDDI (cddi.pl), not to mention your host, Polish-licensed detective and risk intel investigator Preston Smith. This week we have a special 1.5-hour show, covering the Serbian elections; the UBO registry; money for Ukraine and the Hunter Biden factor; the War in Ukraine Update and an interview (full of cop tales) with US-Polish entrepreneur John Gabrovic.

Each segment lasts from 15-20 minutes. Time stamps below:

3:13 The semi First Thing:The Serbian elections--we make a prediction (which did come true) and tell you why it matters.
18:08 The REAL First Thing: The UBO registry--can the EU be more schizophrenic when it comes to transparency?
28:44 The Second Thing: The War in Ukraine Update, including why the Hunter Biden investigation impacts weapons and possibly the outcome of the war. And yes, there will be plenty of maps.
1:03:14 An interview with US-Polish entrepreneur John Gabrovic. This guy has seen it all, and he discusses the outlook for the business/entertainment sector, as well as violence, dealing with the police--and even being mistakenly detained as a witness in a mafia case by the Polish secret services.
