00:00He said that he jokes and laughs much less than he used to. I think he was saying this

00:07with regards to the war in Ukraine ongoing now and entering its third year, its fourth

00:11year I should say. What do you read into this? What's your interpretation of why he said

00:17that? Do you think he is a much changed man?

00:21I think he doesn't care for people being killed, but he's a good actor and he understands what

00:27to say and how to behave. So he understands that he should show respect and be sorry with

00:37regards to all these people being killed because if he doesn't do it, he's out of touch with

00:43the country. You should understand that he is losing popular support now at a speed which

00:51is constantly growing. And if he starts adding to this speed by doing such blunders like

01:00showing that he doesn't care, well, he doesn't want to do this. So it's just staged up, it's

01:08just a matter of game. If he really cared for these people, he wouldn't have been doing

01:14what he's doing because there are no objective reasons why there should be a war.
