The coup had just happened at that point, so he was upset. And I, as an American, didn't really know the situation, so I was treating it like, you know, Ukraine, okay, what's the big deal? I mean, it's another one of the countries like Georgia, I thought.

And he looked at me, no, it's not a big deal for us, Mr. Stone. And he explained in the movie, what? I think he says that on tape. And I understand Ukraine better and better, but at first I didn't, I talked to Ukrainians. It was evident. I mean, it was coming. This thing is very dangerous.

It's not just him. It's Russia. If he goes, if he's out and if Biden gets his wish and all these nutcases want to remove him, take him out. Fine, kill him. But it's not going to solve it. Russia is Russia. It's going to stay loyal to what it believes in. There is a... They don't have a democratic vote, but they have a consensus. If Putin was not doing what the people wanted, he'd be out.
