Turned over. unfortunately, willie, into the mind of putin is a place any intelligence analyst would love to go. i wont try to insert myself there beyond saying he is very tenacious, he is very prideful, and he is very isolated. those are very bad qualities combined in a single leader, so dont look for any give-up from vladimir putin at this point. check out that "winter war finland 1939." the parallels are almost eerie. >> hey, admiral. we now have a fight in the ukraine where it appears that t...

Time and different from anybody who came before him, but when a man who is frankly irrational, who is an autocrat, who doesnt get what he wants in the invasion, which he thought was two weeks into kyiv and installing a new government and instead has been thwarted by the ukrainian military, what is his mindset? what comes next? >> i think a good historical indicator, and i would encourage folks to google the words "winter war in finland." in 1939 the soviet union under stalin, a leader that putin...

Has very much been intertwined with the history of this castle over the course of hundreds of years. i think the point that you made in terms of the timing that stands out the most is it was almost completely destroyed in 1939 by natd sizi artillery, completely destroyed in 1944. the resilience and rebuilding matters here, wolf. >> all right. stand by. i think theyre about to introduce the president of the united states. lets hold on -- hes coming out right now. here comes the president of the u...
