Weekly Webinar #95: Putin’s Mind

Excellent video CRP.

Pencils in zero gravity are a choking hazard.

Great Video coach. Any chance you can do a video on why the US and UK govts have a hard on for the war. The legacy media propaganda is going over drive. Is this another Iraq or just a show for the 2022 mid terms?

Under the barrel of Russian special forces..

what i often times think on russia... there is a fourth nordic state next to sweden, norway and finnland, you could cut off russia. it is there.

Putin did not invade Krimera: It was an official democratic vote.

I never regretted spending $10 on CRP

I have been following the Ukrainian and the Taiwan conflict very closely. My son is in ROTC studying to be an Army Officer. My private fear is that Bryan will be sacrificed on the altar of political expediency and corporate greed. Thank you in advance Beijing Joe for murdering my only child so you can get a quick boost in your God D#mn polls!

Can you explain why Putin was a KGB agent?

CRP I am a new subscriber. I wish I had known you 5 years ago because I wouldn’t be here in the USA. Now I pray for another 5 years so I can GTFO. If not I can only do my best. Thanks for doing this.

Couldn’t agree more. I love Coach and his content, but he’s totally wrong on Russia and the Eastern European politics. Many of the western conservatives fall into the same trap by not being aware of many important nuances, as well as holding a very primitive view of Putin in a sense that as long as he’s acting against the corrupt US elites (which they are) then his actions must be correct and morally justified. Putin has actually weakened Russia considerably over the years, while only building up a facade of propaganda to make things look much better than they are to an outside observer.

This is outright cheerleading for Russian imperialism, white-washing of Russian corruption and delicious globalist hypocrisy. 1. Cheerleading for Russian imperialism. The fact that Russians can't peacefully sleep in their beds in Moscow due to a potential Western invasion is justification for taking over and destabilizing all of Eastern Europe. What the people of EE want doesn't matter, they should be happy with their Russian backed puppet government! But hey, while looking the other way at Russian imperialism which is backed by brute military invasion, we must condemn American imperialism in the form of democracy, jobs and a better standards of living! 2. White-washing Russian corruption. To CRP the current state of Ukraine and Russia is the fault of Western neo-colonialists. The actual truth is that the Russian elites (the oligarchs that Putin forgave) were busy plundering Russia all thru the 90's. The very people placed in positions of responsibility (executives and managers) were embezzling funds and destroying the livelihood of the lower classes by bankrupting factories that fed hundreds and thousands of people. They were also sending those funds to Swiss and British accounts, not keeping them in Russia, as CRP incorrectly states. Gonzalo even admits Putin took lots of bribes as mayor of St Petersburg. But he condemns none of that corruption and dysfunction. Instead he condemns American political corruption and draws both moral and scale equivalency between the two, which is wrong. 3. Globalist hypocrisy. As a globalist, CRP lives in Ukraine with Western money, Western passports and Western consulting gigs. He collects some Ukrainian rent, but the bulk of his money is in Western banks (because a flexible, local ad-hoc law system means he can be plundered at any moment). He has plenty of economic opportunities and is insulated from the economic consequences of the local corruption, so he can pretend it does not exist and does not ruin the lives of local people. Meanwhile he's busy criticizing Western nations that provide better economic opportunities for their citizens. He's also foolishly biting the Western hand that feeds him. The Russians should stay at home and do the economic development work they need to do. 20th century Russian imperialism made them no friends, which is why all EE countries were eager to jump into bed w/ the West despite less than stellar terms. 21st century Russian imperialism will end no better.

This presentation was fantastic. 10 bucks is a steal. I appreciate your efforts and I hope to hear more content just like this. Thanks

Thanks Tim, I won’t! Best, CRP

OUTSTANDING WEBINAR. I learned a lot - thank you. I am sure this took several hours of work to research and organize. Well done Coach. What a dumbass at the beginning, who made that comment that pissed you off. It amazes me people will drop $20/month on Netflix and not $10 USD/mo for your work.

Coach, I appreciate how hard you work on your presentations. It’s . on how detailed and in-depth they are. Don’t let naysayers and gadflies ruin your mood

Tim Ishii

great job coach. another great webinar.

Excellent and fascinating webinar coach, thank you. I know you're a Russian history buff - I'd be very interested in a video on how Russia was able to birth so many brilliant writers all together in a kind of golden age (Chekov, Tolstoy, Dostoevsky, etc.). What was Russia like then, which likely influenced them and the themes of their stories?

That was an amazing presentation Gonzalo.

Yes I’ve read Sunstein’s despicable theories on benevolent paternalism. It sickens me. Glad you’re aware of it, and what’s happened because of it. CRP

Next live, Russia after Putin!

very insightful +++

Yes - coach is right about Belarus. Flights from Russia to Belarus are considered as domestic flights. Basically you need to check out and check in again if you take Aeroflot transit via Moscow to Minsk. If you have Belarussian residency, you can enter Russia without visa. It is basically super close to Russia, not to mention that even credit card platform Union Pay from China can be used in almost all supermarkets in Minsk. And there are many Chinese investors in Belarus. Belarus is closer to Russia and China than the West. The opposition have mostly fled to the West, especially Poland.

Thanks for Demon in Democracy suggestion, Coach. Gonna pick it up - sounds interesting. And it explains how easily the American left has been sucked into neoliberalism. My prediction is that the Democrat Party is going to be overhauled within a decade (i.e., anti-Obama, like the Republicans became anti-Bush). You're familiar with Cass Sunstein's "Nudge Theory" - the left fell into elitist paternalism under Obama, yet Covid has shown that its constituents are no longer edgy or ahead of the curve on information - instead they're the children under elite paternalism. Anyway, I've enjoyed the presentation.
