0:00.0	Welcome to Impact Theory. I'm Tom Billew and if you've ever pondered the future of global stability,
0:06.0	the grand implications of AI, or the very fabric of democracy, you're in for a thought-provoking ride.
0:13.0	To help us unravel these complex dynamics and navigate the uncertain roads ahead, I'm joined by one of the foremost geopolitical experts in the world, the incredibly
0:22.8	astute Ian Bremmer. We're diving deep into concerns about the U.S. political landscape, the disruptive
0:28.7	potential of AI, and the pivotal impact of disinformation on society. So if you're ready to dissect
0:35.0	and understand these seismic shifts in politics, technology,
0:39.3	and global governance that's happening right now, hold on tight and help me welcome Ian Bremmer.
0:45.4	I don't want Ukraine to be partitioned. I don't think it's fair. I mean, I'm an American. I support
0:51.1	the underdog. Like, I like the 16 seed for March Madness. That's who I root for, right? And the Ukrainians, this little country that didn't have much of a military. And the Russians just invaded them, try to take out their leader. So I don't want them to have to lose their country, but it's going to happen.

1:35.9	fighting for another couple years this way, if the Russians, assuming the Russians keep
1:39.5	piling and palling and palling, you know, people at them. Russia has a much bigger economy.
1:44.1	They have a much bigger economy.
1:49.3	They have a much bigger population. And the Ukrainians are going to get more desperate.
1:53.9	They already see that they're not getting the additional support from the U.S. They're running out of like ammo. They're running out of missiles. They still have air defense,
1:59.8	which is really important.
2:02.5	But, you know, so at a minimum, they're stuck with 18% of their territory that the Russians are occupying.
2:09.5	And potentially, it could get a lot worse than that.
2:13.4	Potentially the Russians, because the Russians have not said we're prepared to sit there.
