You want to color it all in.

That's what the 2022 invasion of Ukraine is.

It's the way a continental power looks at territory.

All right.

The United States thinks that Putin is just all worried about us and NATO.

Actually, Putin's problem is China.

NATO doesn't want Russian territory.

Who would want it?

It's full of Russians.

Stay at home, please.

Just don't leave.

But China might.

And also Putin has said, you know, if you really feel deeply about a place, forget about boundary treaties, you should be able to take it.

Well, Tsarist Russia took a lot of places from China that the Chinese might feel deeply about that have precisely the resources that China needs, not only energy and all those sorts of things out in Siberia, but water.

Lake Baikal holds 20% of the world's surface freshwater, and China's been blowing through its water table in North China.

And that one, I think the topography works that you could do a fairly, you could pipe it all in.

What are Xi Jinping's possibility?
