In this monologue, entrepreneur Rob Moore breaks from his usual business content to react to President Joe Biden’s unprecedented accusation that Russian President Vladimir Putin is committing genocide and is a dictator. Moore outlines the recent collapse of peace talks between Russia and Ukraine, the broader economic fallout—including sanctions, soaring global cost of living, and the massive financing required for the war and post‑war recovery—and the strategic dilemma of how to end the conflict. He invokes a billionaire’s “rat‑in‑a‑corner” analogy, arguing that any lasting peace must give Putin an exit path. Moore discusses the risk of NATO involvement escalating to World War III, noting Biden’s tweet warning against such intervention, and he praises the Ukrainian president’s endorsement of Biden’s statements. Throughout, he urges viewers to engage in open, decentralized debate, share the video, and use their platforms to influence discourse, emphasizing that collective discussion can impact the trajectory of the war.

So breaking news, for the first time since the Russia-Ukraine war, Biden has accused Putin of genocide. Biden has called Putin a dictator. And you may know that there's been some peace talks between Russia and Ukraine which have now broken down. So this is just breaking, and the reason I'm sharing this is because how does this end? Where does this go? This obviously affects us all. There's the atrocities in Ukraine. There's the global impact of trade and financial sanctions and soaring costs of living across the world. And, you know, the billions that will be needed to fund the war and the recovery of the war. And it reminds me of a quote a billionaire said to me. It was about 10 years ago, and I asked him what was the best advice he ever got, and he said, when you back a rat into a corner, you need to give it a hole to exit through. When you back a rat into a corner, you need to give it a hole to exit through. And I don't know how, whether it's NATO or Ukraine, I don't know how they negotiate here to come to peace, but they're gonna have to surely give Putin something, a way out, because this has gone on a long time and I don't even know how many people have lost their lives, but I think it's really important that we all speak up, stand up, and openly discuss this. Now look, Putin and Biden are not watching my lives probably, but they are getting millions of views. And so for the first time, I don't know if this is good or bad, by the way, because you kind of think for things like the war with Russia and Ukraine, you kind of think, well, it's probably got to get worse before it gets better. That's often the case with challenge and conflict. So sometimes you've got— if you avoid the inevitable, it just delays it. So part of me thinks, well, you know, if it's all coming out now— Biden said publicly on a tweet that a NATO intervention is World War III. And I was actually relatively pleased he did that because it showed accountability. It showed that he'd made a public statement that he will do everything he can to not send in tanks and planes. So I thought that's a pretty productive step. Obviously, they've been using the strategy of financial sanctions on the oligarchs and the banks and even Putin's family to try and dry up the money flow. Apparently, um, Putin's war chest fund has halved. So, you know, hopefully it's being, you know, like a fire without oxygen. But for the first time, Biden has accused Putin of genocide, of war crimes. Calling him a dictator. And this is definitely next-level stuff. Ukrainian president has praised Biden and said that his words are a true mark of a leader. Putin said that the peace talks have reached a dead end after Ukraine apparently making fake claims of war crimes. But I mean, he started the war. Well, do you think he started the war? Some people reckon NATO were involved. I don't know. Let me know what you think in the comments. Um, but you know, unfortunately it looked like it was progressing and now it looks like it's regressed somewhat. But I think it's really important that we all openly discuss these world topical issues and we use our platforms as a force for good. I'm an entrepreneur. I help entrepreneurs start and scale their business, get better financial education and knowledge. I help people, you know, make, manage, and master money. I do daily content on entrepreneurship, business, and money. Yet daily I'm interrupting my content to talk about these wider political views, because let's just be frank, the longer this war goes on, the worse it is for everybody. Now obviously it is way worse for people in Ukraine and the innocents in Russia. It's way worse for the families who've lost their loved ones, who've lost their home. Of course that is appalling, and no country should have to go through that. There are also wider views on the global economy, on the recovery from COVID and lockdown, on soaring cost of living, and the billions that this— that will be required for financing the war, and then the billions that will be required post-war to recover. So it affects us all. So let me know what you think in the comments about Biden accusing Putin of genocide. Let me know what you think is really going on. Biden has called Putin a dictator. What do you think about that? Ukrainian president, you know, he's obviously been on this charm offensive to try and rally support across the world, and he's praised Biden's remarks as true words, true words of a true leader. And the Russian And Ukrainian peace talks have hit a dead end. I'm not a doomsday guy, you know, I believe in possibility and, you know, have dreams and make them happen. But we must protect the downside, not just be naive of the upside. And I really do believe that we are the closest to World War III we've ever been, which is obviously awful for everyone. And I just hope that, you know, the nations across the world figure out a way to give Putin something. It's all very well ruling with the iron fist and, you know, genocide and war criminal and dictator, and they may be right, but if they want this to end peacefully, you know, going in harder, that's not how it's going to end. When you back a rat into a corner, you must give them a hole to exit through. Oh, someone told me that once. Um, so they've got to find a way to give Putin something, in my humble opinion. I'm no war expert, but you know, I have been dealing with people for 15 years and, you know, dealing with ego. And let's be honest, with world leaders, there's a lot of ego. So if they can find a way to give Putin something to stop the fighting, to stop the war, to create some kind of peace treaty Surely that's good for everyone. If NATO intervened, Biden has said that is World War III. And I'm glad that these things are being tweeted and posted publicly because I really do believe military intervention over and above, you know, supplies to Ukraine could be World War III. And that's definitely not what anyone wants or needs. So please do share this video, the videos I've been talking about on freedom of speech, and the war that's going on right now, interrupting my usual type of content. They have been getting millions of views, so maybe they are making a difference. I'm not saying that Joe Biden and Vlad are sitting there waiting for Rob Moore's lives and watching them, but you know, I used to think that we can't make a difference really with these global views and matters. But if everyone has that opinion, we definitely can't make a difference. But if we share this content and we engage in the comments and we share our points of you, and we encourage others to do the same, and we flood social media and media with decentralized open discussion and debate, not mainstream media censorship, then I think we can make a difference. So thank you for tuning in and following my work. Thank you for doing your little bit. Please hit the share button.
