2.068 -> WEAPONS IT NEEDS, THE SOONER AN
5.605 -> END CAN COME TO THE WAR.
7.941 -> >>> "OUTFRONT" NOW, HE WAS A
10.743 -> RUSSIAN DIPLOMAT FOR 20 YEARS
12.278 -> AND RESIGNED IN PROTEST OVER
16.849 -> PUTIN'S INVASION OF UKRAINE.
18.25 -> BORIS SAYING TODAY THAT HE'S
19.953 -> SUSPENDING THIS NUCLEAR ARMS
21.454 -> CONTROL TREATY WITH THE UNITED
22.589 -> STATES.
23.056 -> WHY DO YOU THINK HE CHOSE TO DO
24.157 -> THIS NOW?
27.193 -> >> UM, WELL, I THINK IT'S
32.932 -> ANOTHER WAY OF THIS NUCLEAR
35.001 -> SABER-RATTLING WHICH HE HAS BEEN
36.436 -> DOING SINCE THE BEGINNING OF
37.904 -> THIS WAR.
38.838 -> I THINK MAYBE HE FINDS THAT HIS
42.442 -> USUAL THREATS OF USING NUCLEAR
44.644 -> WEAPONS ARE NO LONGER TREATED
46.279 -> WITH THIS FEAR AND ANXIETY, AS
48.147 -> THEY USED TO BE.
49.649 -> SO HE TRIED TO CHOOSE ANOTHER
53.987 -> WAY TO FRIGHTEN THE WESTERN
55.788 -> PUBLIC, FIRST OF ALL.
57.423 -> AND NOW HE TRIES TO UNDERMINE
60.36 -> THE BASIC INTERNATIONAL LAW IN
62.061 -> REGARD OF NUCLEAR WEAPONS.
64.197 -> >> DO YOU SEE IT AS AN EMPTY
66.099 -> THREAT?
66.432 -> OR DO YOU SEE WITH THIS
67.2 -> ANNOUNCEMENT THAT HE IS ACTUALLY
68.301 -> ANY CLOSER TO USING A TACTICAL
71.037 -> NUCLEAR WEAPON HERE?
74.374 -> >> ACTUALLY, IT DOESN'T SAY
77.41 -> ANYTHING ABOUT WHETHER HE GETS
78.778 -> ANY CLOSER TO USING NUCLEAR
81.981 -> WEAPONS.
82.448 -> BUT IT IS VERY, VERY BAD FOR THE
85.351 -> FUTURE OF ARMS CONTROL.
88.454 -> BECAUSE WITH THIS MOVE, ANY
92.792 -> OTHER DOCUMENT WHICH SHOULD
97.363 -> REPLACE THE ONE THROUGH 2026 HAS
100.466 -> BECOME TOTALLY UNREALIZABLE.
102.401 -> >> PUTIN CONTINUED TO FALSELY
104.604 -> CLAIM THAT HE IS THE ONE WHO HAS
108.241 -> TRIED TO RESOLVE THIS CONFLICT
109.742 -> WITH UKRAINE PEACEFULLY, BUT HE
110.777 -> WAS THE ONE THAT WAS PUSHED INTO
113.146 -> WAR.
113.68 -> ALSO SPEAKING ONCE AGAIN AS IF
114.881 -> THE RUSSIAN MILITARY WAS WINNING
115.915 -> AND THAT THE CRATERING RUSSIAN
117.283 -> ECONOMY WAS ACTUALLY STRONG.
119.919 -> IN YOUR VIEW, DO YOU THINK HE
121.888 -> ACTUALLY BELIEVES THIS?
126.492 -> >> HARD TO SAY, OF COURSE.
128.928 -> BUT I THINK THERE IS SOME EXTENT
131.764 -> THAT PUTIN MAY BELIEVE IN WHAT
133.266 -> HE'S SAYING, ESPECIALLY ABOUT
134.667 -> THE GOOD STATE OF THE ECONOMY,
138.871 -> AND ALSO ABOUT HIS PROSPECTS.
141.774 -> I THINK HE BELIEVES THAT HE CAN
142.809 -> WIN THIS WAR, THAT HE IS WINNING
144.944 -> THIS WAR, AND MAYBE IN THE NEAR
147.914 -> FUTURE, HE WILL SUCCEED IN
150.116 -> PRESSING UKRAINE TO SOME KIND OF
153.186 -> NEGOTIATIONS, TO NEGOTIATE PEACE
154.654 -> ON PUTIN'S TERMS, OF COURSE.
158.991 -> AND THEN HE WILL BE ABLE TO
165.164 -> PRESENT HIMSELF TO POSE HIMSELF
166.566 -> AS A WINNER, AS A GREAT LEADER.
168.768 -> AND THEN HIS POLITICAL FUTURE
170.77 -> WILL BE SECURED FOR SEVERAL
172.739 -> YEARS.
173.039 -> SO I THINK THAT'S HOW HE SEES
174.44 -> THE SITUATION.
174.873 -> >> I DID WANT TO ASK YOU ABOUT
175.942 -> HIS FUTURE.
176.576 -> BECAUSE ONE THING THAT PUTIN DID
178.811 -> ACKNOWLEDGE TODAY WITH A MOMENT
182.382 -> OF SILENCE WAS ALL OF THE
183.349 -> RUSSIAN SOLDIERS SO FAR WHO HAVE
184.951 -> BEEN KILLED ON THE BATTLEFIELD
187.186 -> IN UKRAINE.
188.221 -> NOW, THESE DEATHS HAVEN'T CAUSED
190.123 -> HIM YET TO CHANGE COURSE.
191.891 -> BUT AS THE WAR DRAGS ON AND MORE
194.093 -> OF HIS SOLDIERS DIE, DOES IT
196.429 -> EVENTUALLY HURT HIM, DO YOU
200.366 -> THINK?
200.666 -> >> I DON'T THINK IT WILL EVER
202.535 -> HURT HIM PERSONALLY BECAUSE I
204.17 -> THINK HE SEES ALL RUSSIAN
207.173 -> CITIZENS AS THE INSTRUMENTS TO
209.709 -> DO WHATEVER HE WANTS, TO ACHIEVE
211.944 -> HIS OWN GOALS.
213.479 -> AND HIS OWN GOALS, THE GOALS
215.882 -> THAT HE'S TRYING TO ACHIEVE, IS
217.95 -> TO SECURE HIS EVERLASTING GRIP
221.12 -> ON POWER IN RUSSIA, STATE
222.955 -> PRESIDENT AND DICTATOR FOREVER.
224.791 -> SO HE CAN SACRIFICE, YOU KNOW,
229.195 -> ANY NUMBER OF PEOPLE AS LONG AS
231.263 -> THEY ARE WILLING TO BE
232.832 -> SACRIFICED.
233.232 -> AND THAT'S THE MAIN ISSUE, THE
235.902 -> MAIN QUESTION, HOW LONG WESTERN
238.104 -> SOCIETY WILL STAY TOLERANT TO
239.705 -> ALL THESE CASUALTIES AND LOSSES.
242.675 -> AND, UNFORTUNATELY TODAY WE SEE
244.71 -> THAT IT IS STILL TOLERABLE.
249.015 -> IT CAN PUT UP WITH THIS, YEAH.
250.85 -> >> BUT DO YOU THINK THAT IT
252.251 -> COULD GET SO BAD, IT COULD GET
253.619 -> TO A POINT THAT ALL OF THIS
256.889 -> BLOODSHED, IF SEEN -- IF TRULY
259.225 -> UNDERSTOOD BY THE RUSSIAN PUBLIC
260.393 -> THAT IT COULD CAUSE HIM TO LOSE
263.596 -> POWER?
263.896 -> >> WELL, YEAH.
264.964 -> I THINK IF THE RUSSIAN SOCIETY,
267.7 -> MAJORITY OF RUSSIAN PEOPLE
268.901 -> REALIZE THAT THIS WAR IS NOT
271.204 -> WHAT THEY ARE TOLD IT IS, OF
273.039 -> COURSE THEY WILL BE ANGERED.
274.64 -> BUT WE ARE NOT AT THAT POINT
276.609 -> YET.
276.876 -> THE RUSSIAN PROPAGANDA IS VERY
279.245 -> POWERFUL.
279.912 -> AND THE MOST PEOPLE ARE NOT
281.814 -> DIRECTLY TOUCHED BY THIS WAR.
285.718 -> SO, ESPECIALLY IN MAJOR CITIES,
288.187 -> LIFE GOES ON AS IF NOTHING'S
290.59 -> HAPPENING.
290.957 -> SO THERE IS A BIG GAP BETWEEN
293.059 -> THIS WAR IN UKRAINE AND PEOPLE
294.727 -> IN RUSSIA.
296.696 -> AND THIS GAP SEEMS TO BE VERY,
298.798 -> VERY, VERY WIDE.
301.067 -> SO, WE ARE NOT YET
