In this monologue, the speaker reacts to President Biden’s recent warning that Vladimir Putin’s back is against the wall in Ukraine, expressing deep concern that such a situation could push Russia toward using chemical, biological, or cyber weapons and potentially trigger a broader conflict akin to World War III. Drawing on a billionaire’s advice—‘when you back a rat into a corner, always give it a hole to escape through’—the speaker argues that providing Putin a face‑saving exit is essential to de‑escalate. The commentary blends geopolitical analysis with personal reflections on fear, ego, totalitarianism, and the power of decentralized media. The speaker urges viewers to share the video, support Ukraine (noting matched donations), and use social platforms responsibly to counter censorship and de‑platforming, while emphasizing a balanced stance of hopeful optimism tempered by preparation for worst‑case scenarios.

So Biden has just warned that Putin's back is against the wall, and this greatly, greatly worries me. This is very important. So I remember a billionaire saying to me once on the best advice they'd ever received, and he said, when you back a rat into a corner You must give it a hole to escape through. And to me, that rings very true in the moment that we're in, in the world right now. As if Putin is just going to back down. It's never going to happen. The only way I believe— I'm no expert, just saying, this is my content on my social media. But if there is a way that Putin can be given an exit or a way to save face, then surely we're more likely to end what probably is the closest to World War III we've ever been. Okay, so Paula said take Putin out, it's time. I'm not sure I'd like to see World War III. I'm quite glad that they haven't sent in the planes and the tanks and the bombs because there's one red button away from us all being nuked. Now, I'm not fearmongering. I'm talking about something that I believe to be very relevant and specific and important for us to all know about. I'll keep it brief, but it's important. So Biden has literally— breaking news right now— just warned that Putin's back is against the wall. This greatly worries me because if you put someone's back against the wall, often these dictators and totalitarians, they will just fight and fight and fight. The ego will not let them back down. The only way they're likely to back down is to be able to save face. And it reminds me of the billionaire quote, which is, if you back a rat into a corner, always give it a hole to exit through. This was what a billionaire said to me as the best advice they'd ever received. So, um, US President Biden believes that Putin's back is against the wall in Ukraine, increasing the chance that he might use biological or chemical weapons. This is really scary to me. Someone has just said fuck Joe Biden. Well, I think we need to take a slightly more detailed and balanced and holistic approach. But yeah, if Biden is saying Putin's back is against the wall and this increases the chances of chemical and biological weapons, Surely the whole world needs to do its little bit. You and I can share content and videos. You can share my videos. We can comment openly through our free speech, and we can support Ukraine if that's what we feel is relevant. We can share research that we think is good for the world. This is why, for example, I've been interrupting a lot of my business and entrepreneurial content to, to talk about these worldviews, this censorship, this cancel culture, this deplatforming, of course this war that doesn't involve me. I could just carry on selling my products and services and helping people start and scale their business and become entrepreneurs. But man, if we're in World War III, there's none of that going on. Try setting up a shop in World War III. So, um, yeah, we need to do everything we can. Um, so Rick has asked, why is, um, Putin's back against the wall? Well, I can't say for sure. I don't think any of us can. But if Biden is warning that it is, then I'd probably take note of that. The White House has also warned that Russia may resort to cyberattacks against the US in response to increasingly damaging sanctions. So I just want to say that most people are saying at the moment, oh, World War III, it won't happen. You know, Putin won't do this and won't do that and NATO and the US won't do this and won't do that. There won't be a World War III. Well, I hope you're right, but most— a lot of people said Brexit wouldn't happen. No one expected COVID, and a lot of people said Putin wasn't stupid enough to start this war, and they all happened. So the reason I'm sharing this content is, one, never be complacent. Always protect the downside before you look at the upside. Sure, you By all means, be optimistic, but also prepare for the worst as well as hoping for the best. I think this is all really important. Remember that fear screams loudest when it's dying. And if Putin is going to be backed into a corner, that's going to be fear-based decisions. I'm not sure that fear-based decisions create the best outcomes. So fear screams loudest when it's dying. Globalists and totalitarianists and dictators, I believe right now they're losing control of the world they want to control. We have decentralization. People like me can do videos like this and get hundreds of thousands of millions of views. People like Joe Rogan could do podcasts and get 20 million subscribers, more than mainstream media. Mainstream media is scared. Fear screams loudest when it's dying. You know, the government in Canada clearly scared of all the trucking protests and the implications of that. That's why they were seizing and freezing anyone's bank account, which I believe is a violation of your human rights. War is a violation of human rights. War is a violation of your property rights. Because fear screams loudest when it's dying, and the globalists and the totalitarians and the dictators are scared. And actually, in some ways, that's progress. But in some ways, we've devolved, because surely we shouldn't be in wars now. And make no mistake, this could be catastrophic. We all have to do something. This is why I'm doing my videos. Thank you for sharing my videos, by the way. By all means, keep sharing them. I really appreciate it. Thank you for helping me get this word out there. I'm not going to go to Ukraine and put a rifle in my hand. I'm untrained, and it's not my best use of how I can help. But I am going to keep doing content. Let's make peace, not war, you know. Let's If we have to give Putin a way out, let's give him a way out. When I say humanity, give Putin a way out. To save face, to stop wars. It's okay. I mean, ego, man. Ego probably starts more wars and more cancelling and deplatforming than anything else. So we must manage our egos well. Use our social media for good. Interrupt our usual content to talk on these worldviews. We could be in World War III. We're the closest I've ever seen. And I'm not a fearmonger. And I'm a positive kind of guy. Yes, I hope for the best, but I plan for the worst. Yes, I want to look at the upside, but I protect the downside. So, quick summary: Biden has warned that Putin's back is against the wall. This greatly worries me because, as the billionaire said to me in his best piece of advice that he was ever given, when a rat is backed into a corner, always give it a hole to exit through. We need to give Putin some kind of way to save face so that this doesn't escalate. We need to all use our social media for good causes. We need to avoid chemical and biological weapons and cyberattacks. which Biden has said are more likely now. Let me know what you think. Please hit the share button. I love you all.
