  • Over the past two weeks, chaotic scenes of Russian tanks exploding and driving into minefields were recorded by Ukrainian military drones in Donetsk. Some Russian military bloggers have called it a fiasco, and it points to major failures in the Kremlin’s military tactics as it gears up for a spring offensive. Investor Bill Browder speaks with Walter Isaacson to discuss the effectiveness of the NATO allies’ sanctions on Russia and the pace of its assistance to Ukraine at this critical juncture.
    Originally aired on February 14, 2023.

In fact, Russia provided security guarantees along with the US and UK to protect Ukraine's sovereignty for giving up the USSR nuclear weapons. Did Russia live up to that agreement? Where did you go to school? Russia or China?

      Yes, we need to "confront this problem once and for all". But many key players are reluctant. The reason for the reluctance is not clear. Some think it is purely monetary, for example. Scholtz fantasizing about maintaining good, profitable relations with Russia after the war.
      But I think the reason goes deeper than that. Half of Europe still does not quite believe what we are seeing unfold before our eyes: a total war against democracy and the "international order" that kept the peace in Europe for over 50 years.

      The U.K wants to send 14 tanks, Germany wants to send 21 tanks, the U.S want to send M1 tanks, turbine powered which the ukrainiens won't be able to maintain. Ukraine wants F16 , yet they won't be able to fly them, even with training.
      The goal here , is that the U.S and perhaps Europe want to take Russia down and control the world.
      Not gonna happen, in addition to that , we don't want any more war in Europe, unfortunately the U.S is fighting this war at the cost of lives russians and ukrainians, and truly no one gives a damn about these people.
      I'm not pro government, russian, U.S or whatever but if you want à war, take to your country , because alot of you talk tough because you dont know what it is like to have a war on your soil. Ukraine will not go into NATO, you know it , i know it and i hope the american people know it.
      Europe and the U.S will back down.
      The russian people don't call it motherland for nothing. Putin doesn't want american missiles at the border of russia just like the U.S didn't want russian missiles in Cuba.
      That is what i know. Not that complicated.

Moreover, the West is behaving like Britain did, trying to avoid war by appeasement. pootin sees this as weakness which in turn makes him more aggressive.

      He is a smart and wise and decent man. I found the vast majority of all that #TheResistance mess on Twitter during the Trump years to be too goofy for words, but discovering Bill Browder was a pleasant exception to the rule. His stories are not only true but riveting and wild and inspiring. Unlike myself, he is always reasonable too.
      These Ukrainians are our allies, and we're an empire in decline. Making true friends can't hurt anyone in our position, if viewing these things strategically like a sociopath, or a Republican, is all this calculus comes down to as well.
      And to these same Republicans that seem to have this unexplainable affinity for Putin, the international criminal, the dying gangster... do you not get who and what he is, and always has been, since he was first handed power?
      Putin was freely given power by a western-friendly predecessor, with the hope that he'd take the former USSR into the future, going down this same path towards world peace and cooperation, binding our fates, prospering together. He quickly reevaluated his situation once he had that power, and he decided that he'd rather personally stack billions and personally have far more money and resources than he could spend in a thousand lifetimes, while forsaking the present and future good of his own massive country, wrecking the lives of all his countrymen... He IS a sociopath, he doesn't love anybody or anything, he is a monster, he exists only to serve his own psychopathic goals, Russia and the world will be infinitely better off once he is gone, and they can finally pursue their common good, rather than be a nation that exists to service one man.
      Idolizing him, you may as well be slicing pentagrams into your skin and worshipping the devil, he is possessed by the devil, existing in this world in a demon state, if such things exist. He is evil. Not a man who sometimes does evil, but a full-time incarnation of evil, an avatar of Satan, avarice and pettiness and greed and hate, the complete willingness to torture all the billions, poor and weak, rich and strong, children, women... End their lives, throw them in prisons where S.A. is used as a routine torture method, Putin is a disgusting thing, he ceased being a man decades ago. He is not human, but something far less, a struggler, a wraith, dragging through his own personal Hell, and sadly, the fate of an entire nation, is bound to him, doomed to suffer with this terrible, petty, greed-consumed hungry ghost.
      If you look up to Putin, you are truly blind to all things good in the world. You are lost. All major nations do some evil out here in the world, but evil is ALL Putin does. He's invaded Ukraine as a stunt.. to look the way he wants to look, as he is obsessed with such things, appearances.
      He is forcing an untrained, undisciplined, ragtag army of conscripts and rapists to invade his neighbor, when they're not killing without reason, they're raping and robbing for amusement.
      And you all out there, Elon Musk, Fox "News" pundits, making excuses FOR THE DEVIL, trying to push folks to see things from his side, you know, all he's doing is raping and pillaging and killing an entire country in an effort to take all they have... Why's Ukraine making such a big deal about it? Why don't they come to the bargaining table?
      One of these days you will die, and Jesus will say, "I never knew you." As your tiny little black hearts implode and you descend into the Hell you've earned, right here, right now.
      Life is too short to be cowards. Your heart is all you have. Stop listening to these outlets and pundits that capitalize on your weakness, your cowardice, your baser nature. Drum up some courage and stand for what is right, here and now, and every day to come.

    This is absolutely Putin's theory. that is why NATO needs to get together and hit hard hard now as far as helping Ukraine and stand by incase we have to send troops in.

    Browder is an example of a real American like Ronald Reagan speaking directly and acting boldly. If people like them were in power in America the world would be different.

    Bill does not know it - but he is my best friend. He should receive som official recognition as well - I nominate him to the Order of the Elephant... the highest order of the Kingdom of Denmark. I think he earned it.
