00:00Forget the expert theories, the secret strategies, and the elaborate geopolitical chess game.
00:07None of it will help you understand Vladimir Putin.
00:10If you really want to understand what drives him, you need to look at what he fears,
00:17what fuels his rage, and the quirks he surrounds himself with behind closed doors.
00:24Once you do, the illusion of the mysterious mastermind falls apart.
00:30Let's break it down.
00:32My name is Elvira Barrett, and I am an author who has been tracing Vladimir Putin's political journey for more
00:39than two decades.
00:41Here's what I've noticed.
00:43The fundamental mistake many experts make is judging Putin based on speeches written by professional speechwriters
00:49and eagerly accepting the information snippets fed to them by his intelligence and propaganda agencies.
00:57The result is an image of a mysterious, unfetterable dictator, something like the Night King from Game of Thrones.
01:05This image, combined with the vision of mad zombie soldiers endlessly pouring toward innocent civilians,
01:13instills fear and paralyzes the will to act.
01:17For some, it even sparks a desire to somehow negotiate with the Night King.
01:22Spare me and kill them.
01:24I'll do whatever you want.
01:26Just don't hurt me.
01:27And that's exactly what Putin wants.
01:31To truly understand Vladimir Putin, you need to look at what he's building for himself,
01:36not just what he's creating for others.
01:39You need to listen to his thoughts when he's speaking off script,
01:42when he's upset, frustrated, outraged, or, on the flip side, pleased and inspired.
01:49But most importantly, you need to pay attention to what concerns him.
01:54Remember, our own personalities are shaped by what inspires us and what frightens us.
02:01So, let's take a look at what inspires and frightens Vladimir Putin.
02:10In my personality classification, known as the Sphinx method,
02:15Putin fits the personality type of the hunter player.
02:19The hunter is his core archetype.
02:22Above all, people like this crave victories and prizes.
02:25And without them, their lives lack meaning.
02:28The leading aspiration of the hunter player is elation,
02:32the anticipation of a win,
02:34and the happiness that comes with victory.
02:37He is highly emotional,
02:39but tries to conceal it,
02:41just like a gambler sitting at a poker table in Las Vegas.
02:45Emotions are what govern his life.
02:48He is incredibly brave,
02:50but only when his physical safety is not at stake.
02:53He is willing and eager to risk money and other resources.
02:58The higher the stakes,
02:59the more exciting it is.
03:01The player is constantly swept up in the game,
03:04and he often ends up doing things he late regrets.
03:08He is not a strategist,
03:10but a tactician.
03:11However,
03:12he possesses a sixth sense
03:14that allows him to see opportunities
03:17where others see nothing.
03:19The player has the unique ability
03:22to navigate between raindrops
03:24and is always using this gift
03:27to his advantage.
03:28For Putin,
03:29the most important thing in life is the game.
03:32The ultimate thrill for him
03:34is to outplay others,
03:36grab the prize,
03:37and emerge as the dark horse
03:39who crosses the finish line first.
03:42Unlike others,
03:42he plays for the win,
03:45not for the process itself.
03:46If he does not see a prize at the end,
03:49he simply loses the interest.
03:51For Putin,
03:52Ukraine is the prize.
03:54Why does he want it?
03:55That's relevant.
03:57He doesn't know what he will do with it,
03:59and he has no plans for it.
04:02The key is to wrest it from the Western general,
04:05and from Zelensky in particular.
04:08The player has an extremely high opinion of himself
04:11and his intellectual abilities.
04:13If something goes wrong,
04:15he's more likely to blame others than himself.
04:18Listen to Putin in interviews.
04:20Whenever problems arise,
04:22he endlessly repeats that he's been set up,
04:25deceived,
04:26or taken advantage of.
04:28Losing to Zelensky is unimaginable for him.
04:32Just as he couldn't accept the loss of Chechnya
04:35during the Chechen war,
04:36it would have been more beneficial for Russia
04:39to let it go
04:41rather than spend billions
04:43bribing Chechen leaders.
04:44But it's not about benefit.
04:46It's about the win and his self-image.
04:50If the player is fighting for something
04:52and in his mind sees himself
04:54as superior to his opponent,
04:56he cannot give up the prize,
04:59even if it brings him only losses.
05:02Swagger and showing up
05:04are two main pillars for the player.
05:07Everything must be top-tier,
05:09better and more expensive
05:11than what others have.
05:13For the player,
05:14it's crucial to be among the elite.
05:16Being accepted at the highest levels
05:19gives him that ecstasy of victory.
05:21He wants to be admired and feared.
05:24The fact that Putin is no longer accepted
05:26in respectable circles
05:27is deeply offensive to him.
05:30Imagine the feelings of a seasoned gambler
05:33who's being denied entry
05:34to the best casino in town.
05:37That's it.
05:38Now you understand how Vladimir Putin feels.
05:46At his core,
05:47the player is a trickster.
05:49He's not the Night King.
05:51He's more like Captain Jack Sparrow
05:52from Pirates of the Caribbean.
05:54The player thrives on skims,
05:57cheat codes,
05:58and even outright cheating.
06:00He's aggressive,
06:01but only when he knows
06:03no one can retaliate.
06:05There's a children's rhyme
06:06by Grigori Oster
06:08that perfectly captures
06:09the player's approach to aggression.
06:11The best way to tease
06:13is from the top of the roof
06:15or from a tank
06:16where you're bulletproof.
06:18But if you would like them
06:19completely destroyed,
06:21a radio broadcast
06:22is your ultimate toy.
06:24This is a perfect reflection
06:26of how the player operates.
06:28Now it's easy to see
06:30why the theme of nuclear blackmail
06:32is constantly floating around
06:34in Russia's media space, right?
06:37Most players have a natural charm.
06:39If they want,
06:40they can talk nearly anyone
06:42into anything.
06:43This happens
06:44because their inner emotional energy
06:46gets transmitted
06:47into their speech and behavior.
06:49They operate on high energy
06:51and people get addicted
06:52to it like a drug,
06:54especially those
06:55who struggle
06:55with their own emotions.
06:58This is why such characters
06:59are constant heroes
07:01in fairy tales,
07:02films, and books.
07:03They are fun to watch.
07:05Think of figures
07:06from folklore
07:07like Loki,
07:08Robin Hood,
07:09and Nancy the Spider
07:10or Park
07:11from Shakespeare's
07:12A Midsummer Night's Dream.
07:15Most players
07:16are inclined
07:17toward mysticism,
07:18especially
07:19the successful ones.
07:20Only a special relationship
07:22with higher power
07:23can explain
07:24the nature
07:24of their success.
07:25That's why Putin
07:26is surrounded
07:27by a whole army
07:28of priests,
07:29fortune tellers,
07:30astrologers,
07:31and the like.
07:33Normally,
07:34a player is not cruel.
07:35He is simply
07:36indifferent
07:37to the suffering
07:38of others.
07:38He does not think
07:40about it.
07:40He does not wish
07:41harm on anyone
07:43and he much prefers
07:44to be loved
07:45than hated.
07:46This is exactly
07:47why Russia
07:47is at war.
07:48But there is
07:50no death penalty.
07:51There is no
07:51mass terror either.
07:53Other people
07:53do the killing
07:54far from Putin
07:55and they are killing
07:57insignificant people,
07:58those whom Putin
07:59believes would have
08:00led meaningless,
08:02pointless lives
08:02anyway.
08:03In this way,
08:04the dead at least
08:05serves some purpose
08:06for Russia.
08:08Yes,
08:09Putin completely
08:10identifies with Russia
08:12and generally
08:13believes that
08:14what is good
08:15for him
08:15is good
08:16for his country.
08:18How else
08:18could it be?
08:19After all,
08:20for some reason,
08:21God made him
08:22president.
08:23This means
08:24he is on a special
08:25mission
08:26and he absolutely
08:27must fulfill it.
08:30People of this type
08:31can't and don't
08:32want to engage
08:33with the themes
08:34of suffering
08:35and death.
08:36They fear illness,
08:37physical weakness,
08:38and aging.
08:39Player is terrified
08:41of becoming
08:41a laughingstock,
08:43an old clown
08:44who is no longer
08:45of interest to anyone.
08:47That's why Putin
08:48constantly undergoes
08:50rejuvenation procedures
08:51and is practically
08:52obsessed with his
08:54health and longevity.
08:55He doesn't even
08:56look like himself
08:57anymore due to
08:58endless injections
08:59and facelifts.
09:01In Russia,
09:02he is often referred
09:03to as the
09:04buttocks grandpa.
09:06The player is also
09:08extremely concerned
09:09with his safety.
09:11He fears pain
09:12and violence,
09:13but only
09:14when it comes
09:15to himself
09:15and his loved ones.
09:17If he suspects
09:18someone wants
09:19to harm him,
09:20he becomes
09:21borderline paranoid.
09:22That's why Putin
09:23meets guests
09:24across long tables,
09:26keeping a physical distance.
09:28That's why
09:29meetings are held
09:30with guests
09:31quarantined for weeks
09:32before seeing him
09:34to prevent
09:35any possibility
09:36of infection.
09:36protection.
09:37That's why
09:38he appears
09:39in public
09:39either alone
09:40or surrounded
09:41by the Federal
09:42Protection Service
09:43who,
09:44when necessary,
09:45dress as fishermen,
09:47workers,
09:47or widows
09:48of soldiers
09:48killed in war.
09:50Public debates
09:51or even
09:52casual encounters
09:53with random people
09:54who might evoke
09:55negative emotions
09:56in Putin
09:57are entirely
09:58off the table.
10:05The player
10:06doesn't like
10:07playing by the rules.
10:08Deep down,
10:09he believes
10:10that any problem
10:11can be solved
10:12in a more clever way.
10:14And the rules
10:15are just for those
10:16who can't think
10:18for themselves.
10:20The player
10:21loves finding
10:22unconventional solutions
10:23and he particularly
10:25enjoys
10:25when they have
10:27a theatrical flair,
10:28especially
10:29if they include
10:30jokes
10:30that only
10:31the insiders
10:32understand.
10:33Humor
10:34is a big part
10:35of the player's world,
10:36but it really
10:37depends on
10:38his cultural level.
10:39For instance,
10:40the incident
10:41with Alexei Navalny's
10:42poisoned underwear
10:43is a classic
10:45example
10:45of an
10:46inside joke
10:47for the elite.
10:48Putin,
10:49in particular,
10:50finds anything
10:51related to toilets
10:52or intimate matters
10:54amusing.
10:55And that humor
10:56frequently comes
10:57through
10:57in his speeches.
10:59Lying for the player
11:00is not just deception,
11:01it's a form
11:02of theatrical art.
11:03The sheer ability
11:04to outwit someone
11:06and pull the wool
11:07over their eyes
11:08with cleverness
11:09and performance
11:10is what captivates him.
11:12Empathy
11:13is not a strong suit
11:14for the player,
11:15but self-interest
11:16and vanity are.
11:18The moral side
11:19of things
11:19doesn't concern
11:20their player much.
11:21This is why
11:22he isn't particularly
11:23bothered by corruption,
11:25either his own
11:26or that of
11:27those around him.
11:28Putin doesn't have
11:29a clear ideological
11:30foundation
11:31and he's changed
11:32his beliefs
11:33numerous times.
11:35Yesterday,
11:35he believed
11:36that Russia's
11:37best option
11:37was an alliance
11:39with NATO.
11:40But today,
11:40he sees it
11:41as the worst.
11:43Yesterday,
11:43he wanted to
11:44build capitalism.
11:45Today,
11:46the state
11:46is taking
11:47everything
11:48under its control.
11:49Yesterday,
11:50he promised
11:51he would never
11:51attack Ukraine.
11:52and today,
11:54he's burning
11:54Russia's
11:55national wealth
11:56to win a game
11:57and claim a trophy,
11:59Ukraine's head,
12:01which he can preserve
12:02and display
12:03on his shelf.
12:05The reason is simple.
12:06The player can
12:07easily align
12:08his beliefs
12:09with his
12:10immediate personal needs.
12:12And his personal need
12:13means to experience
12:15the euphoria
12:16of victory.
12:22The player loves
12:23scale,
12:24grandeur,
12:25and spectacle.
12:26He enjoys
12:26celebrations
12:27and large events,
12:29but only
12:29if he is
12:30either the star
12:31of the show
12:32or one
12:33of the honored
12:34guests.
12:35Being just
12:35another dancer
12:37in the crowd
12:37is completely
12:39unacceptable to him.
12:40He's drawn to
12:41anything that
12:42stirs up his emotions.
12:44Anyone interested
12:45in understanding
12:46a person's
12:47inner world
12:47should take a look
12:48at how they set up
12:50their living space.
12:51At Putin's palace
12:53in Gielinzik,
12:54you'll find
12:54a full array
12:56of luxuries.
12:57A spa,
12:57sports facilities,
12:59gyms,
12:59swimming pools,
13:01an aqua disco,
13:02a wine cellar,
13:04a home fair,
13:05a musical living room,
13:07a theater,
13:08a casino,
13:09slot machines,
13:10and a hooker room.
13:11A special dark room
13:13with no windows
13:14that closely
13:16resembles a strip club.
13:17This is how
13:18Jack Sparrow's
13:19paradise would look.
13:20When the player
13:21feels like a winner,
13:23he generously
13:24hands out money,
13:25but only to his own,
13:27either family
13:28or friends.
13:28He enjoys luxury,
13:30large purchases,
13:32and high-status items
13:33that show
13:34how much
13:35he's achieved.
13:36That's why
13:36Putin's residents
13:37are overwhelmed
13:39with gold.
13:40The most expensive furniture,
13:42the most famous architects,
13:44their rarest materials.
13:46By the way,
13:47do you know
13:47why it all looks
13:48so outdated?
13:50Because Soviet children's
13:51ideas of wealth
13:52were shaped by films
13:54made in Russian
13:55imperial palaces.
13:57Children in Leningrad,
13:58now St. Petersburg,
14:00were taking on
14:00tours of those places.
14:03Soviet people
14:04also watched
14:041960s French
14:06historical melodramas
14:07at the cinema,
14:09which were filmed
14:10in old palaces
14:11and chateaux.
14:12Putin is simply
14:14unfamiliar
14:15with modern design.
14:16By the way,
14:17I have a separate video
14:18on the money culture
14:19of the Soviet Union.
14:20Check it out.
14:21It explains a lot.
14:28Despite his love
14:29for showmanship,
14:30the player
14:31does not enjoy publicity.
14:32He keeps outsiders
14:34out of his personal life
14:35and prefers to be admired
14:37from a distance.
14:38He has one persona
14:40for the outside world
14:42and a completely different one
14:44for personal relationships.
14:46And how he views himself
14:47is even more private.
14:49We don't know exactly how.
14:51He won't tell us.
14:52However,
14:53I have many interviews
14:54with people of this type
14:55and each of them
14:57has this for itself.
14:59People of this type
15:01often face challenges
15:02in their personal lives
15:04unless they are
15:05fully self-aware
15:06and have control
15:07over their virtues
15:08and flaws.
15:09The player often sees
15:11his chosen partner
15:12as the prize to be won.
15:14This prize has to be
15:16prestigious
15:16and steer emotions in him.
15:19If it doesn't,
15:20he loses interest.
15:21In his youth,
15:23the player loves to flirt.
15:24He is very good at it.
15:26However,
15:27building long-term,
15:28trusting relationships
15:29is difficult for him.
15:31If things aren't going well
15:34in his personal life,
15:35he feels ashamed of it.
15:37That's why
15:38any intrusion
15:39into his personal life
15:40is extremely painful
15:42for the player.
15:43For instance,
15:44in 2008,
15:45the newspaper
15:46Moscow Correspondent
15:47published an article
15:49about Putin
15:50leaving his 50-year-old wife
15:51and planning to marry
15:5324-year-old gymnast
15:54Alina Kabaeva.
15:56The newspaper
15:57was shut down
15:58and its editor-in-chief
15:59Grigory Nehорошev
16:00was forced to emigrate.
16:02The player
16:04wants to give
16:05his loved ones
16:06the very best.
16:08If the means
16:09are available,
16:10he showers them
16:11with gifts.
16:12It doesn't matter
16:13whether we are talking
16:14about an ex-lover
16:15or a distant relative.
16:17Deep down,
16:18the player longs
16:19for a close-knit family.
16:21By nature,
16:21he is a long wolf
16:23and doesn't really
16:24need the presence
16:25of others,
16:25but he craves
16:27admiration and gratitude
16:28from those
16:29closest to him.
16:35The player
16:36is an excellent
16:37negotiator,
16:38dealmaker,
16:39master of ceremonies
16:40and intermediary.
16:41He can strike deals
16:43with anyone,
16:44arrange everything,
16:45earn commission
16:46and feel satisfied
16:48because his schemes
16:49are working.
16:50This is how
16:51Vladimir Putin's
16:52career began
16:53when he worked
16:54in the KGB,
16:55closely collaborating
16:56with the Stasi.
16:58Manipulations,
17:00the ability
17:00to elevate
17:01some people
17:02and ruin others,
17:03along with a sense
17:05of superiority
17:05over others,
17:07clearly steered
17:08the soul
17:08of young Putin.
17:10The romance
17:10of intelligence work
17:12and the privileged
17:13position
17:14of a Soviet
17:14officer abroad,
17:15oh,
17:17this was
17:17an incredible
17:18career leap
17:19for a boy
17:20growing up
17:21in post-war Leningrad.
17:22After the collapse
17:24of the USSR,
17:25Putin became
17:25a fixer
17:26in the St. Petersburg
17:27city administration
17:28handling foreign relations.
17:31This was a time
17:32when major cities
17:33were almost starving.
17:35Russia was receiving
17:36humanitarian aid
17:37from the West
17:38and raw materials
17:39were exchanged
17:40for food.
17:41Putin was
17:42the one
17:43who oversaw
17:44these streams.
17:45And whoever
17:46had control
17:47over the distribution
17:48of these goods
17:49had the chance
17:50to make
17:50huge sums
17:51of money
17:52and with money
17:53came enormous influence.
17:55This must have felt
17:57like incredible luck.
17:59One jackpot
18:00after another.
18:01Putin raised
18:02the stakes,
18:03took risks,
18:04set unimaginable goals
18:06for himself
18:07and every time
18:09he succeeded.
18:11And that
18:11sheer frill
18:13was intoxicating.
18:15When Putin
18:16became president,
18:17he continued
18:18doing what he always
18:19did,
18:20negotiating,
18:21striking deals
18:22and deciding
18:23who would get what.
18:25This is when
18:26he truly tasted
18:27the power.
18:28Inherited from
18:29the Soviet Union,
18:30he didn't just
18:31get oil and gas.
18:33He also inherited
18:34the Soviet state
18:35apparatus,
18:36including the
18:37repressive machinery.
18:39This was
18:40an interesting toy.
18:42Pull one lever
18:44and whoosh!
18:45Your enemy
18:46is destroyed.
18:47Press a button
18:49and everything
18:50you wish for
18:51is brought to you.
18:52He could make
18:54any wish,
18:54even the most
18:55outrageous,
18:56and it would
18:57come true.
18:59Putin found
18:59himself in a
19:00casino where
19:01every slot machine
19:02paid out.
19:03In 2022,
19:04the wish machine
19:05malfunctioned.
19:06Putin asked it
19:08to give him
19:08Ukraine,
19:09with its people
19:10eager to join
19:11his domain,
19:12but instead
19:12it delivered
19:13a long,
19:14brutal war
19:15he never
19:16anticipated.
19:17Annoyed by
19:18the mistake,
19:19he tried to
19:19fix it,
19:20feeding the
19:20machine more
19:21and more money.
19:22It made
19:23strange noises,
19:24shook and
19:25smoked,
19:25but Putin
19:26is not one
19:27to give up.
19:28He still
19:29craves his
19:30price,
19:31and if the
19:31machine can
19:32deliver,
19:33then
19:34too bad
19:35for it.
19:41Power is
19:42as important
19:42to the
19:43player as
19:44it is to
19:44other ambitious
19:45personality types,
19:46such as
19:47the commander.
19:48However,
19:49the commander
19:49wants to be
19:50the father
19:51or mother
19:51to their
19:52subordinates.
19:53For the commander,
19:54power is
19:55the ability
19:56to lead people
19:57toward a
19:57specific goal,
19:59and they have
20:00a clear vision
20:01of what
20:02the goal
20:02looks like.
20:03Catherine the
20:04Great and
20:05Joseph Stalin
20:05were examples
20:06of this type.
20:08For another
20:08personality type,
20:10the champion,
20:11power is a
20:11means of
20:12self-actualization.
20:14The champion
20:15wants to
20:15unlock their
20:16potential and
20:17achieve what
20:18others cannot.
20:19Want to see
20:20what this looks
20:21like in practice?
20:22Look at the
20:23biography of
20:24Leon Trotsky.
20:25For the
20:26warrior type,
20:27power is a
20:27badge of
20:28merit.
20:29If people
20:29listen to you
20:30and recognize
20:31your will,
20:32then you are
20:33doing well
20:33and deserve
20:34your place.
20:35Peter the
20:36Great was
20:36like this.
20:37He spent
20:38his life
20:38proving that
20:39he was
20:40as capable
20:40as any
20:41other monarch
20:42in Europe,
20:43and ultimately
20:44he succeeded.
20:46The ruler type
20:47is only
20:48interested in
20:49power in
20:49the context
20:50of controlling
20:51minds.
20:52They create
20:53ideologies and
20:54try to convince
20:55others that
20:56they are right.
20:58They don't
20:58want to manage,
20:59they want to
21:00guide.
21:01Lenin was
21:03an example
21:03of this
21:04type.
21:05Commanders,
21:06champions,
21:07warriors,
21:07and rulers
21:08often take
21:09the top
21:09positions because
21:11they have
21:11all the
21:12prerequisites
21:13for leadership.
21:14But players
21:15rarely rise to
21:16the top of
21:17the social
21:17pyramid because
21:18they tend to
21:19suffer defeat
21:20long before
21:21they have
21:22access to
21:22real power.
21:23The only
21:24player I can
21:25think of in
21:26Russian history
21:27is Ivan
21:27the Terrible.
21:29But Ivan
21:30inherited his
21:31power while
21:32Putin won
21:33his for
21:33chance.
21:34Like a
21:35roulette game.
21:36Putin is
21:37unique and
21:38he knows it.
21:39He's
21:39continuously
21:40raised the
21:41stakes and
21:41kept winning
21:42even though
21:43he wasn't
21:44supposed to.
21:45Power is
21:45not ideal for
21:46this type.
21:47Imagine if
21:48Jack Sparrow
21:49were the
21:49head of
21:50state.
21:50It's not
21:51hard to
21:52predict the
21:52future of
21:53such a
21:53country.
21:54If it
21:54had resources,
21:56Jack would
21:56host grand
21:57celebrations,
21:58build himself
21:59the biggest
21:59palace,
22:00dress all
22:01his pirate
22:02mates in
22:02silk pants
22:03and surround
22:04himself with
22:05a legion of
22:05lovers.
22:06He'd first
22:07collect money
22:08from everyone
22:09and then spend
22:10it on some
22:10boat races.
22:12Then he'd
22:12come up with
22:13some new
22:14game as
22:14long as
22:15there's
22:15excitement
22:16a thrill.
22:17Now,
22:18imagine Jack
22:19Sparrow has
22:20grown older
22:21and grown
22:22tired of
22:22it all.
22:24The old
22:24games no
22:25longer amuse
22:26him.
22:26There's
22:27no more
22:27thrill.
22:28The other
22:29players mock
22:30him.
22:30They don't
22:31like him
22:31and they
22:32don't invite
22:33him over.
22:35His cronies
22:35just want to
22:36grab what
22:37they can.
22:38No creativity,
22:39no imagination.
22:40He's craving
22:41excitement.
22:42Putin has
22:42explicitly
22:43mentioned this
22:44during interviews.
22:45So,
22:46Jack starts
22:47talking to
22:48God and
22:49to the
22:49great statesman
22:50of the
22:51past.
22:51He plays
22:52on their
22:53field,
22:53making
22:54huge bets,
22:55stirring up
22:56his blood,
22:57eagerly
22:57watching where
22:58the ball
22:59of history
23:00will roll
23:00this time.
23:06What is
23:07Putin counting
23:08on?
23:08He believes
23:09that he can
23:10outlast all
23:11his enemies.
23:12He does
23:12not need
23:13to be
23:13reelected.
23:14His
23:14subordinates
23:15will create
23:15any ratings
23:16and election
23:17results he
23:18wants.
23:19He does
23:19not believe
23:20his resources
23:20will ever
23:21run out
23:22because he
23:22does not
23:23understand
23:23economics
23:24and because
23:25God is
23:26on his
23:26side,
23:27right?
23:28After all,
23:29he's been
23:30given control
23:31over this
23:32vast territory
23:33called
23:33Russia.
23:34That must
23:35mean
23:35something.
23:37The plan
23:38is roughly
23:38as follows.
23:39If he
23:40couldn't
23:40break
23:41Ukraine
23:41with
23:41direct
23:42force,
23:43it's
23:43no big
23:44deal.
23:44Putin
23:45will
23:45make
23:46the
23:46West
23:46start
23:46negotiations
23:47with
23:47him
23:48and
23:48thus
23:49he'll
23:49be
23:50back
23:50in
23:50the
23:50game
23:51sitting
23:51at
23:52the
23:52table
23:52with
23:52world
23:53leaders.
23:54Ukraine's
23:54economy
23:55will
23:55be
23:55shattered,
23:56Europe
23:56will
23:57be
23:57overwhelmed
23:58with
23:58problems
23:59and
23:59the
23:59United
23:59States
24:00will
24:00no
24:00longer
24:01want
24:01to
24:01fund
24:01the
24:02global
24:02security
24:02system
24:03of
24:03its
24:03own.
24:05Putin
24:05will
24:06find
24:06a
24:06small
24:07but
24:07vocal
24:08party
24:08in
24:08Ukraine,
24:09get
24:09the
24:10money
24:10and
24:10make
24:11sure
24:11they
24:11win
24:12the
24:12next
24:12elections
24:13steering
24:14the
24:14country
24:14back
24:15toward
24:15Russia.
24:16And
24:17that
24:17will
24:17be
24:18genius,
24:18right?
24:19Ukrainians
24:20have
24:20lost
24:20so
24:21many
24:21lives,
24:22endured
24:22so
24:22much
24:23hardship
24:23and
24:23for
24:24what?
24:25In
24:26the
24:26end,
24:26it
24:27will
24:27all
24:27go
24:28the
24:28way
24:28the
24:28most
24:29brilliant
24:29player
24:30in
24:30the
24:30world
24:30decides.
24:32If
24:33you
24:33tell
24:33Putin
24:33that
24:34Ukrainians
24:34will
24:34never
24:35forgive
24:35Russia
24:36for
24:36the
24:36suffering
24:37it's
24:37caused,
24:38he
24:38will
24:38just
24:39smile.
24:40After
24:40all,
24:41Georgia
24:41forgave
24:42Russia.
24:42There
24:43was
24:43war
24:43there
24:43too
24:44and
24:44it
24:45didn't
24:45go
24:46well
24:46for
24:46Putin
24:46at
24:46first.
24:47But
24:48then
24:48he
24:49bought
24:49the
24:49right
24:49politicians
24:50and
24:51did
24:51things
24:51his
24:52way.
24:52He
24:53is
24:53absolutely
24:54convinced
24:55that
24:55he
24:55will
24:56outplay
24:56everyone
24:57again.
24:57This
24:58could
24:58be
24:58fought
24:59by
24:59the
24:59defeat

25:00Putin's
25:00army
25:00on
25:00the
25:01battlefield.
25:02Ukraine's
25:03problem
25:03is
25:03that
25:03it
25:04doesn't
25:04have
25:04enough
25:05soldiers

25:21were

25:51Another
25:52possible
25:52scenario
25:53could
25:53be
25:53that
25:54China
25:54and
25:54India
25:54suddenly
25:55stopped
25:55buying
25:56Russian
25:56oil
25:56at
25:57favorable
25:57prices
25:58which
25:58would
25:58immediately
25:59trigger
25:59a
26:00crisis
26:00in
26:00the
26:00Russian
26:01economy.
26:02Putin's
26:02allies
26:03would
26:03rush
26:03to
26:04him
26:04begging
26:04don't
26:05ruin
26:05us

26:14all
26:14be
26:14hang
26:14on
26:15the
26:15lampposts.
26:16This
26:16would
26:17be
26:17a
26:17shock
26:17to
26:17Putin.
26:18How
26:19could
26:19this
26:19happen?
26:20Stop
26:21playing?
26:21Are
26:22you
26:22crazy?
26:22He
26:23would
26:23feel
26:23betrayed,
26:24robbed
26:24and
26:25would
