  What does the fact that guy is literally yelling at you from the very first frame of the video suggest to you?

  (a) something about Ukraine
  (b) something about Russia
  (c) that he must be really smart and have very insightful things to say
  (d) that he is trying to emotionally manipulate me
  (e) that he is my friend
