[0:04](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/5H2bJG7v2gpc/en/us-investment-as-a-deal-guarantee-and-europe-s-economic-policy?t=4) Not because we can't live without them, without direct investment, that's not why, but because their vested interest is at least some guarantee that people will keep their word.

[0:15](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/5H2bJG7v2gpc/en/us-investment-as-a-deal-guarantee-and-europe-s-economic-policy?t=15) Because, say, to provoke Kyiv, hypothetically, um, into doing something, to give it some technical equipment, so it can fly at those targets, for example, where Americans have invested, well, that'd be just— What about the Caspian Pipeline Consortium?

[0:30](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/5H2bJG7v2gpc/en/us-investment-as-a-deal-guarantee-and-europe-s-economic-policy?t=30) That already happened, directly. Exactly!

[0:32](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/5H2bJG7v2gpc/en/us-investment-as-a-deal-guarantee-and-europe-s-economic-policy?t=32) And so, of course, Kyiv, when all this happened, got a really, well, how do you say, got a slap on the wrist.

[0:38](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/5H2bJG7v2gpc/en/us-investment-as-a-deal-guarantee-and-europe-s-economic-policy?t=38) So I still proceed from the idea that what belongs to me, that is, what's American, yes, that shouldn't be touched.

[0:44](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/5H2bJG7v2gpc/en/us-investment-as-a-deal-guarantee-and-europe-s-economic-policy?t=44) So, of course, by all means, over here, and Then we see how serious your intentions are.

[0:50](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/5H2bJG7v2gpc/en/us-investment-as-a-deal-guarantee-and-europe-s-economic-policy?t=50) That's why, I think, it was directly tied to, uh, various ki— various kinds of, uh, investment proposals, then.

[0:59](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/5H2bJG7v2gpc/en/us-investment-as-a-deal-guarantee-and-europe-s-economic-policy?t=59) Uh, as I understand it, considered by both sides, uh, and a counterproposal was made with a particular kind of optimism, as, uh, one of the sides, uh, of some set of additional terms in this deal.

[1:13](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/5H2bJG7v2gpc/en/us-investment-as-a-deal-guarantee-and-europe-s-economic-policy?t=73) The deal— oddly enough, we laugh at Trump there, but, uh, in this case, probably, in this case, that's probably the right word, because, well, he makes a deal, these are their investments, and we understand that you, so to speak, really want to do something.

[1:29](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/5H2bJG7v2gpc/en/us-investment-as-a-deal-guarantee-and-europe-s-economic-policy?t=89) Right. But that's just an aside. Right. And overall, of course, it's still the economy. will determine their, uh, behavior, primarily that of Europeans, although they don't fully understand it.

[1:39](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/5H2bJG7v2gpc/en/us-investment-as-a-deal-guarantee-and-europe-s-economic-policy?t=99) This is a unique story. Every time, we try, um, to think about European politics, while we, as people who are rational in principle, who understand, uh, well, certain laws of logic, uh, rules at various levels, and economic ones,

[1:56](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/5H2bJG7v2gpc/en/us-investment-as-a-deal-guarantee-and-europe-s-economic-policy?t=116) well, and the basic laws of physics and biology.

[1:59](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/5H2bJG7v2gpc/en/us-investment-as-a-deal-guarantee-and-europe-s-economic-policy?t=119) Uh, it's hard to understand these people simply because uh, their actions are illogical and often destructive, even, I'd say, economically suicidal.

[2:10](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/5H2bJG7v2gpc/en/us-investment-as-a-deal-guarantee-and-europe-s-economic-policy?t=130) And the further it goes, the more obvious it becomes.

[2:12](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/5H2bJG7v2gpc/en/us-investment-as-a-deal-guarantee-and-europe-s-economic-policy?t=132) And, uh, it's obvious that something like this happened, it's not— and I don't want to veer into conspiracy theories.

[2:18](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/5H2bJG7v2gpc/en/us-investment-as-a-deal-guarantee-and-europe-s-economic-policy?t=138) Um, these people were selected in such a way that they wouldn't make decisions, They were supposed to sign off on someone else's decisions.

[2:26](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/5H2bJG7v2gpc/en/us-investment-as-a-deal-guarantee-and-europe-s-economic-policy?t=146) But now they have to make decisions. So to say yesterday, “I've already defeated Russia there,” and tomorrow call the Russian president—collectively, no less—
