It is because they are so smart that they
deal with the trivial things incisively and vividly, and feel helpless with human sorrow.

Yuri seems to be born a model of a successful businessman. He is shrewd, calm, flexible, and has a good reputation.
The difference is that the commodities he deals are Arms
, in a sense, seems to be only better than drug and human trafficking
and Yuri's position is "I don't want to kill people...but I want people to use my guns a lot"

to avoid unnecessary tension and misunderstandings - army build-up;

because after the shooting, they were all sold to Libya by the owner's arms dealer...
