Speaker 0: So, we just finished our interview with Vladimir Putin. We're in an anty room in the Kremlin, waiting for our car to come, having a cup of coffee. I'm sitting here with the folder, kind of old fashioned, I haven't even opened it yet, of documents that, Putin gave me. I've got my nighttime reading. That was quite an interview. It began in a way I didn't expect at all. I'm still thinking it through. This just happened. So my thoughts are in, but, I asked him, of course, the obvious question, which is, to, you know, why did you move against Ukraine, 2 years ago, February 2022. And he had said that he felt a physical threat from NATO within Ukraine, and he was worried there were gonna be nuclear weapons in Ukraine, etcetera, etcetera. So I asked him about that. He launched into Well, you'll see it. You'll see it. But it an extremely detailed history going back to the 9th century of the formation of Russia from the tribes into a nation and Ukraine's part in that and, the ruse. And and I, to, you know, I was annoyed. And I thought, look, I just, you know, hey. First of all, I'm American, so I ask you a specific question, I want a specific answer, let's go. To and he wouldn't. And I thought and so I pushed him, and he got annoyed, and I was annoyed. And I thought he was filibustering, and maybe he was to some extent. But I concluded after watching all this. No. He, that was his answer, or that was the predicate to his answer. The history of the area and the formation of this country. The connection to Ukraine is, like, the basis or part of the basis for his Ukraine policy. So, It was it was really interesting. Got much more interesting once I realized what this was, which is a window into how he thinks about the region. To So we're back in the hotel room. It's, I don't know, probably around 10 o'clock at night. We were there for almost 5 hours in the Kremlin, which is quite an experience if you've to read about the Kremlin your whole life as I have. Not that different from the old executive office buildings, giant pile, 19th century, warrant of office. Anyway, Putin was couple hours late as is his habit, apparently. Everyone knew Marshall was laughing. Although he's always late. But that you know, I'm not exactly sure what I thought of the interview. It just happened. It's probably gonna take me a year to to really, decide what that was. But a couple of quick perceptions. 1, Putin is not someone who does a lot of interviews. Well, really, any interviews. He's not interviewed in almost 4 years. He's not good at explaining himself. I didn't think. He's smart. There's no no question about that. But he's clearly spending a lot of time in a world where he doesn't have to explain himself. So he I, sort of piecing to that's one of the reason I'm having trouble thinking about the interview as a whole because he didn't sort of lay out his case Very coherently, though, if you listen carefully, and we're there for a long time talking to him, a couple of things rose to the surface. 1, He's very wounded. And I suggest this, but, of course, he denied it. But it's obvious. He's very wounded by the rejection of the West. United States doesn't like Russia. The US government doesn't like Russia. I think, like, a lot of Russians, he expected the end of the Cold War would be Sort of Russia's invitation into Europe or sort of into Europe because it is a European country that's half in Asia. But but there's a lot that's European about it. And if you come to Moscow, it's a very European city, you see it, and you can feel it culturally. And the west projected Russia. And maybe, you know, I'm not even taking sides of this. Maybe they were good reasons. I don't know what they would be. But, but in case the west was determined not to be alive with Russia, that's very obvious. That's the whole point of NATO, I guess, is to contain Russia. And Putin is wounded by this. He's very upset about it. His eyes flashed, When we talked about that, as we did, you know, for probably over an hour, he didn't have a coherent Theory that he was willing to tell me anyway as to why that is. Russia is not an expansionist power. Sorry. You're not supposed to say that because all the Tory and Newlands and all the liars and ideologues who run the state department Wanna make him into this, you know, Hitler Imperial Japan, but the truth is that that's just false. It's just stupid, actually. I've been easy to think that. Russia's too big already. It's the biggest land mass of the world. They only have a 150,000,000 people, and they've got, you know, 80 some effectively provinces or semi independent States, but different nationalities and religions and languages. And, I mean, imagine managing all that. They've got more than enough natural resources. They're swimming in natural resources. They don't have enough people in their view. So the idea that they wanna take over Poland, why would you wanna do that? They just want secure borders. Maybe they're too paranoid about it. Totally possible. Again, not taking sides. But the idea that they're gonna roll into Vienna or something, you'd have to be like an idiot to think that. Just not true. There's no evidence of it, actually. And the professional liars in Washington really don't know anything about the area or really anything about the world beyond New York have convinced themselves or, I think, is trying to convince you that this guy's Hitler, and he's trying to take this to Adenland or something. It's, like, not analogous in any way. Whatever Putin's many faults. Okay? It's not an expansionist power. So I can't even recall my point exactly other than he is to the extent, he's angry and that it's obvious. He's angry because he feels like, woah. Why? You know, I thought we were gonna be friends. I think, maybe that's his fault, but he's definitely mad about it. And the second thing I would say, which I thought was kind of kind of really striking, Is that he was willing to admit that he wants a peace deal in Ukraine, and sort of give it away and just say that out loud. He said it a couple of different times. Again, maybe he's lying in ways I didn't perceive, but he kept saying it. And, you know, I don't know why he would say it if he didn't mean it. And, of course, there is, as a matter of fact, there is evidence overwhelming that there was a peace deal or part of a peace deal with the beginning of peace talks, a settlement of some sort on the table a year and a half ago that the former prime minister of Great Britain, Boris Johnson scuttled on behalf of the Biden administration and convinced Zelensky and the Ukrainian government not to enter into these talks. I mean, that's kind of an established fact. The Israelis were there. They revealed this, and that happened. So but Putin, for his part, again you're even talking about Putin. You feel like you're flacking for Putin. I'm from From La Jolla, California, not flacking for Putin. I'm you know? Please. I'm just trying to assess this rationally. It's interesting that He's willing to say, yeah, I want some kind of settlement. And the final thing I'll say is that if you're wondering who the lunatics are, US officials have said on the record and have said to me, and are telling a bunch of people that part of the terms have to be Russia giving up Crimea. And without getting into the whole history of Crimea, here are the facts. It's, you know, the home of Russia's warm water fleet. It's got a Russian population. They had a referendum. They chose Russia. It's part of Russia. It's where Russian wine comes from. So you could like that or not like it, but the fact is Putin would would go to war, nuclear war, if it came down to Crimea. So if and, And by the way, Crimea was in Russian hands at the beginning of this war. So it's like, if you really think that a condition of peace Is that Putin's gonna give up Crimea, then you're, you're like a lunatic, and and they are. I mean, they want A weak leadership in Russia. And the question is, why would you want that? How is that good for the United States? I'm not defending Russia. I'm defending my own country. A Weak central government in a nation with the world's largest nuclear stockpile is insane, especially a country as large And potentially, fractious with this many languages, ethnicities, religions, 20% Muslim population. You're just gonna sort of let the nuclear stockpile float free and hope the best thing happens? You're a freaking nutcase if you if you desire that. And we are run by nutcases. The president and that poisonous moron, Tory and Nuland, oh, we're gonna depose Putin. Well, then what happens? What happened in Libya when we deposed and allowed, you know, Gaddafi to be murdered? What happened in Iraq when we to Brought Saddam to justice. Those countries fell apart, and they never been rebuilt again. In Afghanistan, we took out the central government, and they came back. It's still run by the Taliban. So our track record of knocking out the leader, which is very easy to do, is, spotty at best. Things don't always get better. And to do that to Russia, You know, the largest land mass in the world with the largest nuclear arsenal, like, you're on drugs if you think that's a good idea.
