Welcome to the Tudor Dixon podcast. Okay, okay, everybody knows what is going on with Ukraine and Russia,

but do you really know what it's like to deal with Ukraine in Russia? Well, we have someone with us

today who does. We've had her on before. It is Rebecca Koffler. She is a Russian-born strategic

military intelligence analyst and the author of the book, Putin's playbook, Russia's

Secret Plan to Defeat America. She also has her own podcast. It's on X. It's called Censored But

Not Silence. Rebecca, thank you so much for coming back on in the midst of all the craziness going

on with Russia and Ukraine. Of course. Happy to be here with you and your audience, Tudor.

And you're indeed correct.

Lots of craziness last few days.

He's got to come through on this promise.

He has to do it quickly.

I would argue, you know, he did say he would do it quickly, but this is a president who has four years to get things done and he wants to do it correctly.

He wants to make sure this war is finished and move on from it.

But how do you negotiate with a Putin and a Zelensky?

Well, with all due respect to President Trump, and I do have high respect for him, he is a

talented negotiator, highly skilled business leader. He's dealt with characters all over the

world. But Putin is a completely different animal. He's different than anyone

Trump has dealt with before. Zelensky has proved himself to be an extremely talented

actor, but he's a con artist. And Trump really, really needs to understand what he got himself into by promising on his campaign trail that he needed, he wanted to do this in 24 hours.

He boxed himself in.

And Putin knows that Trump boxed himself in.
