Well, that's an important question. I think the Russians are disappointed in us. because they detect that we're sincere in terms of wanting to end this conflict.
But they don't understand why he does not act to remove this regime, remove this man Zelensky and put a stop to it. There's this constant drumbeat about a ceasefire. Well, the Russians are highly organized and disciplined. They can stop whenever it makes sense to do so. The Ukrainians are not in the same category. They seem to be a rogue organization now.
You know, we've got, what, 200,000 of them here in the United States, and I don't know how many thousands of them are working for the SBU, the Ukrainian secret police, that are now running around threatening everyone that has criticized Ukraine or opposed support for Ukraine.
Well, I would be very worried about our president. You know, I think the president is very much at risk. And these people seem to know no sense of limitation. They're capable of anything. So I hope the Secret Service is on its toes. I'm sure Kash Patel is well aware of this in the FBI. I just don't have any good feelings right now about the Ukrainians.
I think they're done, they're finished, they've lost the war. So all of these are sort of acts of vengeance, if you will, last resort. Hurl whatever you have as deep as you can into Russia and just kill, murder, maim as many Russians as possible. But to what end? Well, to harm Russians and then try to create the illusion that there is some hope for them.
that they can somehow or another mobilize more manpower and put more forces into the field. They can't. They're really scraping the bottom of the barrel. I think the issue right now is the following. The Russians have the initiative, strategic initiative. This war is effectively at an end as far as they're concerned in terms of having won it. They now have to make some decisions.
So you have to put yourself not so much in the place of Zelensky. He's irrelevant. The Russians are not surprised by what he's done. I think they're surprised that we haven't intervened to try and stop it. That's what I think they're surprised about. So what they want now, the Russians, is an end to this nonsense. They have several options.
They now have concentrations of forces in the northeastern part of Ukraine and down in the southeastern part. They can move at will at any time. They have enough force they can cross in Kherson. They can take Odessa. They can move forward and straight into Kiev. Whatever they do, they have to ask themselves, how far do we want to go to guarantee our security as Russians?
and they have never really wanted to go very far. That's never been the intent. But over time, they've been pushed more and more and more to secure more territory to protect themselves. This latest act is probably convincing Russians
that they should go straight to the Dnieper River, cross into Kiev, root out this regime, root and branch, cross down south and take Odessa, and turn rump Ukraine into a landlocked country. I'm sure there are people who are arguing for that. There are other Russians who are saying, the hell with this. Let's just crush Ukraine once and for all. This is a permanent cancer.
It's not going to go away. People from the West are always going to try and go in and incite them. So let's march to the Romanian and Polish borders, right to Moldova, and be done with this. In the middle of this, it's President Putin. And President Putin is nothing if not a very judicious person. He's a very thoughtful person. This is someone who does not act impulsively. I'm sure you saw that.
I have. Everything is calculated. So he's going to sit there and say, what do I want to do? What makes the most sense for Russia? Set aside the emotion. And he also knows President Trump. And he says, President Trump wants an end to this. So do I. How do I nudge President Trump and say, help us? We want to end this just as much as you do. Help us a little bit.
Can't you rid us of this man Zelensky and this little MI6 CIA-supported cabal that surrounds him? Can't you help us with this?" But on the other hand, he's looking at his people and they're saying, don't depend on anything the West promises. Don't believe anything the West says. So march to the Dnieper, cross the river, end this once and for all. This is the decision point.
It's a strategic inflection point in the history of Europe because you now have a Russian leader with the power, with the capability to do anything he wants. But this is a Russian who doesn't want to march west. He doesn't want to rule Ukrainians. He's not a fool. He knows those people don't want to be ruled by Russians. So it's a difficult position, but he has to end it.
And there's the other danger. It's who knows what comes next. You know, they killed this Russian general. who had a very prominent role, and his name escapes me right now, but he was killed recently. He had a very prominent role in identifying the attempts by the Ukrainians to build a dirty bomb and also to launch attacks on the nuclear power plants.
He knows there are people over there capable of that kind of lunacy. So that also has to figure into his calculus. It's got to be one of the most evil governments in the world. It is. Well, look at what they've done to their own people. I mean, how many of these Ukrainians have died needlessly? The handwriting was on the wall two years ago. Why would you drag this thing out?
And Putin has not wanted to drag it out, but he has also not wanted to give people in the West the impression that he's interested in doing anything more than removing the Ukrainian menace. In other words, he's not interested in conquest, doesn't want to march West. I mean, how many times can he and Lavrov say this nonsense and shut up and Applebaum and And the rest of these crazies.
Well, she's also married to the Polish foreign minister. And right now, the latest poll says that 86% of the Polish population opposes any Polish participation in a war against Russia. And even Tusk has said, if you think we're joining some sort of contingent to go into Western Ukraine, forget it. We're not going. So I think this whole facade is crumbling.
It's absurd.
No, not a chance. I mean, the British are probably... the furthest from Russia, and they all know what their army consists of today. It's a bad facsimile of what was there 200 years ago. It goes back to Bismarck's famous remark in 1879 that, He was asked by a British journalist, what would you do if the British Army landed on the North German coast? He said, well, I'd have it arrested.
