If Putin is a calculating man then he must have done very badly with his arithmetics in grade school.
Putin is very calculating, he just didn't learn arithmetic
No no he did great up and until the number 5. Then he reached his intellectual limit. Its also as far as he plans. He is the type that would drive 50 miles wasting 10 dollars to save 1 dollar on batteries.
It's called Putler arithmetic.
Who needs the arithmetcs when you are a Czar in Russia. 🤣🤣🤣
you sound like a woman
Master strategist Putler. Who’s lost much more than 30% of his armor, who sacrificed innumerable Russian lives in a failed attempt to take Kyiv and Snake Island, who pushed Finland and Sweeden into joining NATO, who sunk the flagship of his Navy… yesssss all going according to plan.
Fully agreed 👍
Putin couldn't care less about Russian lives in the first place !!
He's got plenty of Russian blood on his hands...
😅 where this information came from? You really don't know ukrainian military power do you?
@@Gudang9 neither did Putler? 🤣
@@toniwilson6210 Too bad western people don't know what's really going on there. Hate putin and thats enough. Perfect journalistic by british 😂
@@Gudang9 : He is pretty spot on, though.
For a calculating man, he's made a right pig's ear of this one. It is a disaster for Russia, Ukraine & many other countries.
The bitter truth; millions of innocent people suffer, lose everything and die due to the haughtiness, ignorance and immaturity of those who live in luxury mansions. We must learn from history that wars in europe never ended quickly.
Volodymyr Zelenskiy , despite all the pressures, he did not buckle under
Who started the whole bloodshed ??
We all know who the agresser is !
@@ennediend2865 Russia started this WAR
@M P That is absolute nonsense.
@M P Go back on your meds 💊💊💊
Volodymyr Zelenskiy is a crook and a puppet of the USA propped up by financing and weapons from the USA. Take these away and Ukraine would fold like a cheap suit.
what kind of person enjoys the deaths of thousands of defenseless citizens and hurting others on a mass-scale??? something is truly wrong with this man
Putin , Bush, Tony Blaire, Kissinger, ........ a lot of the world leaders in fact and they always walk scot free
@M P So you're saying that the instigators of a war and the defenders against such attackers are morally equivalent? The criminal and his victim and the victim's defenders are morally equivalent?
@Steve Rockwell NATO made no such promise, and in any case, they did *_not_* expand east! Stop lying!
Putin isnt a calculating man
Europe needs oil for its gigantic economy
Russia is the nearest route that could cover all of Europe: Southern, Central, Eastern and Northern Europe
Desperation made them turn a blind eye to his revanchist machinations
His population was for decades used to bread lines for meager rations...anything was better than Soviet and post-Soviet turmoil
He leveraged Russias status as a gas-station to fool Russias population into thinking he was some genius economist while taking advantage of Europes need for oil
It doesnt require intense calculation
The fact that Russias economy is smaller than Italys and that Russias adult males have the lowest life expectancy in all of Europe is all you should know about Putin's "genius"
Very well explanation, Putler at best just a con man who trick hisbown people he doing a good job and eradicated anyone who oppose him either with jail or poison, that's why nobody ever busting his con yet. This time his delusional dream of becoming tsar of the mighty Soviet empire had gone too far . And Ukraine will remind him again how this story end.
Not sure why you made the leap from 'calculating' to 'genius' - there's a rather big difference between the two. Furthermore, Putin - barely known for his benevolence - being unconcerned for the economic wellbeing or life expectancy of his countrypeople is hardly evidence of him being neither 'calculating', nor - as you put it - a 'genius'.
@@azhivago2296
He is neither calculating nor genius
Hes a chimp in a suit running a gas station
A used car salesman trying to pass of a decrepit piece of 💩 country as some sort of great power and model for developing nations
Russia life expectancy has increased dramatically in the last few decades . Putin has helped his people well.
@@yoichikirigami607
He cares so much for people that 1/5th of Russians dont even have indoor plumbing
No dictator ever evolves in a good way. Prove me wrong.
Maybe but they didn’t have nukes
He is indeed very calculating, but so is Daffy Duck.
Under rated comment.
I thought scrooge mcduck was the calculating one?
He didn't calculate the invasion of Ukraine very well did he ? He didn't calculate the unity of the NATO alliance very well did he ? He didn't calculate the resolve the Ukrainian people have in defending their country did he ? He didn't calculate the hatred the Ukrainian people have for him did he ? He didn't calculate the strong unity of western Europe against him did he ?
Fallen for his own propaganda haha the idiot.
No he didn't. But in his defense, neither did anyone else in any other country in the world. _Every_ world leader (except Zalinski, whom nobody had ever heard of) believed that the war would be over in about 3 to 5 days. Nobody would have expected NATO and the west to band together. Some US sanctions on Russia, sure, that happens (and is ignored) every time Putin takes over a hunk of some other country. But the people in the west DOING something about it? That has been completely unheard of, going back to at least 1945. Who in their right mind would have even considered the possibly for two seconds without contemptuously dismissing it?
It just turned out that he was wrong, Ukraine had built up a pretty good military (that they didn't at all have in 2014, the last time Putin dealt with them) and they were willing to defend their country. Even more surprisingly, other countries were willing to give them military aid, in more than just the words that they normally would have given. None of that was to be expected by anyone. Heck, the US President had pretty much said that Russia could do whatever it wanted and the US would not take notice. Why on earth would Putin have expected that to suddenly change by 180 degrees? Even the people in the US didn't expect that.
Well these so called NATO countries and other sanctioned Russia which led to high fuel, energy and food prices. Who are the loosers?
@@raulrio1087 Who are the loosers? Everybody. That is how it _always_ works with sanctions. The question is not "who is being hurt" (everyone), but "how much is each group being hurt". If the sanctions are working, the target of the sanctions should be hurting more than the people placing the sanctions. But sanctions take a LONG time to have any effect. Months at best to years under most conditions. It isn't instant like the politicians and news media are telling you.
A lot of the inflation we are seeing all over the world has nothing to do with any sanctions, despite what your brother and the news media told you. The inflation is a direct result of the COVID business, and the various governments giving stimulus payments to all and sundry. Governments don't create money. They only move it around. The people create money, which the government takes from them and redistributes. When the government tells everyone they can't work for a year, but pays them the same amount anyway, that money has to be paid. It will be paid later by the people, in the form of increased costs for everything. Which is what inflation is.
@@lwilton That is a load of nonsense. Stop believing what you hear on the streets.
It’s not “a Russian thing.” It’s a Fascist thing. Putin and Trump and Kim Jong Un and Xi are identical
Non of them is as fascist as Lenin, you hypocrite 🖕😂
That's one of the stupidest things I've heard in a long time. Trump showed more respect for the US constitution than his predecessor and successor. He did not appoint a radically partisan hack to run the DoJ and under his administration rioters and people engaged in actual violent insurrection were not thrown in jail for months without trial or raided at dawn by heavily armed squads as peaceful Jan 6th demonstrators were. Under this US admin the constitution takes a back seat to "progressive" demands and there is an ongoing effort to brand political opposition as dangerous and illegitimate.
Nope, it is a Russian thing. It's their mentality. You still don't get it. It's not a coincidence that Russia has had a few dictators.
Trump is still living rent free in your head, I see.
@@JM-gj7de Someone else with TDS!
We in "the west", as in living meters away from the Russian boarder in Eastern Europe seriously hope the murderous invader can be repelled. And that those further away in the west will pitch in to help as much as possible, before the tyranny comes to them as well.
Unfortunately they're too busy trying to blame the Bidens, Victoria Nuland and nazis for the war.
ah yes, russia must be back east of the urals. to create a safety buffer for future russian miscalculations.
@@ursodermatt8809 In fact, if Russia is so afraid of getting attacked from West, it should withdraw behind Ural mountains because mountains are easy to defend.
Hard to believe I grew up in a time where we were taught in school what communism was and that was Russia. 60 years later and it's still true today. It's past time to eliminate the threat!
Russia is no longer a 'Communist' Country. So no, this is no longer correct. It hasn't been since the late nineties. It was given a chance and set up as a democracy after the break up of the Soviet Union. It's an oligarchy. Still technically a democracy despite Putin having hijacked it using any and all means to stay in power. Communism does not have the super wealthy running the country the way Russia does or the USa for that matter though perhaps less so or less obviously so.. Putin is, according to Elon Musk, the richest man in the world and his circle of oligarchs are the richest people in Russia. So no. not even close to being Communist any more.
Nothing to do with communism here.
I would argue that modern russia is more dangerous than communist russia. At least the USSR had committees.
Why was this interview cut off? It was very insightful.
Yes it was. But I think the purpose of this channel might possibly be promotional more than anything else, aimed at increasing paid subs for the digital radio service and the newspaper.
Yes, I clicked expecting more psychological content. Disappointing video.
And the loud sound blast at the end blew out my eardrums. 😠
Weren't two FSB guys arrested with live explosives at an apartment building by local cops? Is that not suggestive?
Yes, I heard about something similar in a TV documentary. A couple of suspicious guys who were carrying explosives, near an apartment building, were apprehended by local cops. The town authorities reported the incident back to Moscow, and they were ordered to release the suspects and forget about the whole thing. Apparently the Kremlin had been trying to stage a Chechnian "terrorist attack" inside Russian territory. Never mind civilian Russian casualties, eh?
Don't overanalyse a psychopath, neutralise them, so they cannot cause harm to the next 10,000 victims.
Exactly. Everybody is trying to figure out why Putin does what he does. There must a a motivation externally, in the moment that drives him. That completely misses the point. His motivations are internally driven and are already there because he is a psychopath. Nothing on the outside drives him. The disturbance is already inside and he is going to do what he does to try and calm his inner disturbance. He needs cluster b supply. Without it he will literally plummet to the depths of despair. Psychopaths need power and control and without it they are doomed.
About two more minutes of that interview would have been really interesting. How did he finish that statement that was cut off at the end of this program clip?
He was just starting to talk about Putin's lies, so that would have gone on for a very long time. Well beyond the typical TH-cam viewers attention span.
Who starts a war without thinking that there is a chance to win it? :D good insights, much wow
The war was started by Ukraine in the Donbass. Russia has an excellent chance of winning handsomely.

@@duncansmith7562 "The war was started by Ukraine in the Donbass." I've understood that the war was started by the Donbass separatists. Why would Ukraine have started? Not depending on who started, Russia had no right to intervene into other countries internal matters without UN mandate.

"167 days into my 3 day war, I am still master strategist" -Vladimir Putin
honestly, his whole life everyone was slow as f, ofc he thinks he knows better
@times where can i see the rest of this interview??
But Ukraine is winning
100%
@W Richardson Sounds about right. At the moment, things are grinding into a painful stalemate, but Putin can't declare war without causing mass outrage within Russia, since it's clear he's resorting to shadow mobilization, and Ukrainian troops are still mobilizing, and getting armed with more and more modern tech.
@W Richardson : America cannot make sure Ukraine wins. Russia has already won. America hasn't won a war since 1945,what makes you think America do so now?

"Everything in Russia is Putin driven!" - Phillip Short (Biographer)
Putin is proof of Darwin's evaluation theory...we still have a way to go to evolve.
"Evaluation theory" 😂😂😂 oh fo sho
We'll never evolve so far that we cease to be living creatures, with all that entails. Forget becoming ethereal and drop the misanthropy. It only makes things much worse.
What is fear In a war ?!! Can u tell me some some!? Plzplz
Imagine he really was that good at calculating and said that he predicted at the start of month 5 they will have 35,000 dead, lost 1400 tanks and all the other equipment, a flag ship. And then said to his troops off you go what kind of reaction would he have had. This very factor proves it is not going to plan so he is not even that good at adding up the pluses and minuses of an action. No military would start an operation knowing that cost would build up so fast for so little gain. He also failed in the understanding of why the Ukrainians might resist. To someone with no empathy it is a no brainer the future losses on the Ukrainian side should have made them go straight to the negotiating table but they have not because there is more life that what can I get out of it. He is anyhow safe in his bunker, stolen some more land and will not lose any money himself so he will see it as a win for him not Russians he could not give a dam for them they are just his means to an end. Why anyone would give this excuse for a man adulation is beyond me. I prefer those who have a soul and care about other people. The one positive is people like Putin are always alone and scared someone will take what they have so end their days in a paranoid madness.
Advisor 1: He put a decimal point in the wrong place!

More of a Black Jack player than a chess player ...
Seeing he is fcking up everything for Russia and Russians, Go Fish is probably more Putin’s speed lol
Wow, someone who is accurate in their assessment of Putin and his relationship with Russians.
Better look at the Astroligical analysis I made of Putin in another footage. He has 2 children of his first wife, 2 of his mistress, has 178 cars or more, a billion dollars yacht escaping quickly from a german or holland harbour, has a palace, highly protected mansion which 'he does not live in' , he says, highly protected, has billions of rubles and dollars on his account, is the far most richest person in Russia, behaves like a Tzar and wants to finish his career by restoring the old USSR empire , but he is a guy , grown up in the suburbs or Leningrad from a poor family , living in a poor appartment, living on the streets like a stray dog and wants to control the world as the tzars before him and would not hesitate to put the world on fire for his own glory and to stay in power. A narcist of the worst kind who will bring Russia into misery and shame with his ultra nationalist speeches which are nothing else but fascist propaganda. That is the man we are dealing with , no conscience, no pity at all, a mass murderer and trouble maker, a mad dog of the old generation of KGB origin , a spy in former East Germany etc etc A vicious and extemely narcist psychopath who understands only the power of force an oppression and destruction like in Syria, Tjechia and Georgia but Ukraine ... that is the end of him and his regime .
Worth $200 billion
A superb analysis! To put it short - in Kremlin we do not have a politician, let alone a statesman. No, we have just a KGB weasel who has become deranged megalomaniac, fantasizing to be Peter the Great.

Why is the host stattering when the profesor speaks his mind? It dint go the way he want it? 🤣🤣🤣
I can remember when Russia used other countries as its proxies. Including China. Well well well, how the turntables.
Putin is a poker face
Can I see it as a small angry man who knows he is dying and has delusions of grandeur?
Yeah, a man who destroyed his reputation and his army's over a petty military adventure. So calculating 😂😂😂
The LPR and DPR would disagree that this is a petty adventure, as would Russian speakers in general.
Calculating is not synonymous with successfully calculating.
The Russian speaking separatist movement is a wholly owned creation of Russian special operations. There was some friction and resentments between the Ukrainian and Russian speaking parts of Ukraine that permitted this separatist project to succeed, but now support for Russia among Russian speaking Ukrainians has been nearly erased. The reason for this is that the Russian invasion has specifically obliterated the infrastructure of the Russian parts of Ukraine, and now the people there know that "liberation" by Russia has meant annihilation of their cities and farms and the killing and deportation of many thousands of their people. By the way, Zelensky grew up as a native Russian speaker. Ukrainian is a second language for him. This is a demonstration of just how bogus the "oppression of Russian speakers in Ukraine" really is.
@@duncansmith7562 hey ‘dunc’ 👋🏼

This channel is by far the most interesting conversations
Comment section too.
Are you sure he's his biographer?
A Russian media observer recently made the observation that "when you're talking to Kremlin sources, they're talking to you ". And I suspect they're pretty darn good at that so it's hard to know when you're being fed their ideas thinking you're doing the probing. I do wonder if that's what our man here has experienced
I am sitting on Putins yacht. I broke the pool today. 😃👍
You mean devolution
thinking of ideas what is his weaknesses I don't know about his family That could be a perfect target Putin's weaknesses are very simple mind hes still a human being I still think he cares about his kidsBut he is too prideful when he wants Glory days But hes still a flawed Human even how cautious he is

It's interesting to me how we forget that in some of the ex-eastern block countries, there are often 2 "countries" in one, the country of the liberal intellectuals (often of "French inspiration"), and the country of regular joes, and they are only slightly overlapping, but they are easy to mistake one for another, probably bias-dependent on who is telling the story.

RE: Thumbnail
Me: Is it "evolution" or "degeneration", rather?🤔
Carefully calculating Russia back to 1917
Calculating or not, the worry is that he no longer cares about anything. This will now grind on until the Russian military have nothing left, and so on the decimation of Ukraine and it’s people. In 10 years time, the world will look back on this in shame!
Don’t care about other things ..Putin has shown he’s got to be stopped
I don't agree w/his comment that Ukraine war can be seen as a proxy war between China & US. They are not providing arms or manpower to the theatre, and they aren't involved in sanctions. They are, to be sure, is highly interested observer, taking notes, and maybe tweaking there designs on Taiwan.
I agree. I think the term "proxy war" just sounds good and it's an old concept which is often true but not in this case. If anything this is an attack on freedom and democracy, from the autocratic, fascist dictatorships. So it's yet another polarisation of humans in general.
