00:00OK, so Gerald, let me ask you to pick up on that. Zelensky should have dealt with this a long time ago. Why does he suddenly mind so much about Crimea? And President Trump says Zelensky is so hard to deal with. I don't know what you think he should be doing differently.
00:15Well, hello, Tom. I don't think that he should be doing anything differently. I don't know how he managed to put up the most puerile president of the United States that we've experienced in our lifetimes.
00:29Donald Trump and his ignorant henchmen are not only demanding the capitulation, the complete capitulation of a sovereign state, Ukraine, but they're also risking the outbreak of further conflict for three reasons.
00:47First, I think the president and his entourage are naive. They're naive in believing that President Putin wants peace. He doesn't want peace at all.
01:00The president of the United States offered him a deal and he basically dragged his feet, as everybody, all the commanders said he would, and he did.
01:08And last night, of course, he attacked, as he always does, a residential area. Having the previous day, I'd taken nine people out of a bus.
01:16So I'm afraid he's very naive.
