TO THEM FAST.
THANKS, GENERAL.
BE WELL.
YOU KNOW, INTERESTING POLES AND
SURVEYS THAT COME OUT HOW PEOPLE
FEEL ABOUT THE WAR AND THAT SIX
OUT OF TEN AMERICANS THINK THAT
VLADIMIR PUTIN SHOULD GO, BUT
BACK IN RUSSIA, POLL NUMBERS
THAT SHOW SIX CLOSE TO 7 OUT OF
TEN RUSSIANS SUPPORT VLADIMIR
PUTIN ON THIS AND RALLY AROUND
HIM.
CAN YOU TRUST THE NUMBERS WHEN
THEY COME OUT OF RUSSIA.
THIS IS A RUSSIAN POLE.
LET’S GET THE READ FROM GARRY
KASPEROV.
GOOD TO HAVE YOU.
DO YOU TRUST THOSE NUMBERS,
GARRY?
COULD THAT BE TRUE THAT 70% OF
RUSSIANS ARE RALLYING AROUND
VLADIMIR PUTIN?
>> ABSOLUTELY NOT.
WHAT IS A POLL?
YOU MAKE A PHONE CALL.
YOU RECEIVE A PHONE CALL.
YOU SAY, OKAY, I SUPPORT
PRESIDENT BIDEN, I SUPPORT
WHOEVER.
I’M A DEMOCRAT, REPUBLICAN.
NOW, IN RUSSIA, I BET YOU THAT
90% OF THE PEOPLE WHEN THEY HEAR
THIS CALL AND ASKED, THEY HANG
UP.
SO THEY DON’T WANT TO ANSWER.
THEY’RE GETTING 10%, 80% SAY
YES.
WE DON’T KNOW.
WE DON’T KNOW FOR SURE HOW MANY
SUPPORT PUTIN, HOW MANY OPPOSE
THE WAR.
BECAUSE IT’S DANGEROUS TO SAY IN
RUSSIA YOU OPPOSE THE WAR YOU
CAN END UP IN JAIL.
I WOULDN’T PAY ANY ATTENTION TO
THE NUMBERS COMING OUT OF THAT
STATE.
>> Neil: VERY GOOD POINT.
IF THEY’RE PHONING YOU FOR
OPINION, THEY WILL THEN MAKE A
RECORD OF YOUR OPINION.
WHAT DO YOU THINK THE REAL
SENTIMENT IS LIKE?
YOU TALK ABOUT IT BEING
NEGATIVE.
THE RUSSIANS ARE FEELING THE
ECONOMIC PINCH.
IT’S HARD TO GET MONEY OUT OF A
BANK IF YOU’RE BANK IS EVEN
OPEN.
IT’S HARD TO GO TO THE GROCERY
STORE AND FIND ANYTHING YOU
WANT.
ALL THE STORES AND WESTERN NAMES
FROM McDONALD’S TO STARBUCKS ARE
GOING.
THEY GOT TO BE PRETTY TICKED
OFF.
WHO ARE THEY TICKED OFF AT?
>> AGAIN, I DON’T KNOW.
I THINK NOW MOST OF THE COUNTRY
IS IN SOME SORT OF A LIMBO.
APATHY AND SHOCK, ANXIETY.
UNCERTAINTY.
BECAUSE THEY STILL BELIEVE THAT
PUTIN COULD GET OUT OF THIS
MESS.
>> Neil: YOU THINK HE CAN GET
OUT OF THIS MESS, GARRY?
HE SEEMS LIKE A CAT WITH ANYBODY
LIVES HERE.
HE’S DONE WORSE.
WHAT DO YOU THINK HERE?
>> PEOPLE IN RUSSIA DON’T HAVE
ACCESS TO ALL OF THE
INFORMATION.
WATCHING YOUR SHOW, OTHER SHOWS.
SO YOU KNOW, THEY KNEW THAT POW
TIN WAS IN POWER FOR 22 YEARS.
IT’S DIFFICULT TO IMAGINE A
COUNTRY WITH ANYBODY ELSE
BESIDES PUTIN.
THE INFORMATION RUSSIANS GET
ABOUT THE WAR IS DIFFERENT FROM
THE PICTURES BEING SHOWN HERE.
MAYBE SOMEHOW PUTIN CAN PULL A
RABID OUT OF A HAT AGAIN.
IT’S VERY IMPORTANT FOR THE FREE
WORLD TO MAKE IT CLEAR THAT
WE’RE THERE TO MAKE UKRAINE WIN
THE WAR.
WE’RE THERE TO KEEP SANCTIONS
AND CLEAR RUSSIA.
THAT’S HOW WE CAN COMPLETE
RUSSIA.
TO UNDERSTAND THAT IT’S NOT JUST
PRESIDENT BIDEN SAID PUTIN WAS A
PARIAH BUT AMERICAN POLICY, NATO
POLICY IS TO MAKE SURE THAT
RUSSIA WILL NOT BE ABLE TO
RETURN WITH VLADIMIR PUTIN AHEAD
OF THE COUNTRY.
>> Neil: YOU THOSE THESE DAYS
ARE NUMBERED?
REGARDLESS HOW OF THE WAR ENDS,
ONE WAY THEY’RE GOING TO TURN ON
HIM?
>> LOOK, IS THERE A ANYBODY?
WE’RE ALL MORTAL.
THE QUESTION IS WHAT WILL HAPPEN
AFTER THE COLLAPSE OF HIS
REGIME.
AS MUCH AS GENERAL MILLEY WAS
WRONG IN THE BEGINNING OF
FEBRUARY TALKING ABOUT 72 HOURS
AND COLLAPSE OF THE ARMY, HE’S
WRONG NOW ABOUT YEARS OR EVEN
DECADES OF THE WAR.
IT’S NOT AFGHANISTAN.
IT’S NOT VIETNAM.
THE UKRAINIAN ARMY UNLIKE
AFGHANISTAN IS FIGHTING THE
RUSSIAN ARMY.
ALL WE NEED IS ADVANCED WEAPONS
TO WIN THIS WAR.
SO A FEW MORE MONTHS OF THE WAR
AND STRONG POLICY OF THE UNITED
STATES, LEADERSHIP FROM THE
UNITED STATES, MAY END UP THIS
WAR IN UKRAINIAN FAVOR AND WILL
AUTOMATICALLY ALMOST
AUTOMATICALLY LEAD TO THE
COLLAPSE OF PUTIN’S REGIME.
>> Neil: WE’LL WATCH CAREFULLY.
THANKS, GARRY.
YOU’VE BEEN VERY BLUNT AND CLEAR
