bags in front of the kremlin so that everybody can see what is really going on and his information machine can t hide that from his own scitizens. yeah, you started a recent cnn op-ed by asking what s the only real deterrent to a ukraine ukraine invasion by putin? so so what is the answer to that, given the the situation right now? it is his public. it s his defeat mechanism. the public in russia, for where this war is not really popular. and i don t think we understand that in the less. this is not something people are necessary hi rallying around the flag for. they have to see what is really going on. they have to see the real pi pictures in ukraine when the shooting starts and they have see that there are real russians that are coming back as casualties. and then the sanctions need to hit, and essentially need to say to the russian public do you want this guy leading you? right? is this what you want? is this the future you want?
