@Dan Strayer Yes, but the world barely noticed then.... And before we had Georgia, Chechnya, Aleppo. Even house bombings in Moscow. I guess the truth about those houses will be hard to get now, with Litwinienko murdered.

Interviewing one side of the conflict without ever allowing opposition voices: Western mainstream journalism Support the empire’s forever wars

Hypocrite USA

And most importantly straight to the point, no bullshitting.

@@Western_Decline Russia sells weapons to corrupt governments and dictatorships. Russia uses its military industrial complex to seize territory or to install or protect a dictator.

The perennial question about a diplomatic end to the war hardly deserved answering. After what Russia has done nothing short of a complete withdrawal of Russian forces and the return of the Russian occupied territory is the end game here.

No, completely untrue. Milan Kundera, for example, has been saying these things since the '80s.

She is a joke!

1000% agreed, first really objective and realistic answers I have heard about this matter since it started. It is not about optimism, but glad to hear something different than nuclear war and western countries will triumph, and all those unnecessary ideas.

It doesn’t have to be, it’s to damn simple to take out the rot in Russia, something’s not kosher about all this.

@@darktube8712 says "Hypocrite USA" DarkTube, we are all laughing that this weak, nutcase, two word comment. The trolls these days just can't seem to get the job done.

She just designated Russia as evil and basically declared war on Russia like Churchill did 1956 Fulton , Missouri.

Was literally thinking the same exact thing you wrote while watching the interview.

I am not protecting Putin, he is 100% a killer, but the lady made a number of serous biases contradicting objective facts: 1) "European borders are unchangeable" - Kosovo strongly disagrees with her. As well as Northern Cyprus and the fact Turkey is still a NATO member 2) "Putin started war in Georgia" - wft? Official United Nations position clearly stated that Georgia was the side which started the warfare in 2008. 3) She accused Russia with interference into Syria, but strangely forgot about about USA or UK made the same. Sounds like a hypocrisy to be honest.

Wish the women in politics in the USA were as intelligent as her.

​@@michaelmichaelagnew8503we We get AOC

well... Imagine that you have Oil reserves... and USA is always willing to invade you to take that..

Don't make fun of me for living in Canada

In the 20th century, Ukrainians striving for their own identity and independent state were executed, deported to Siberia, tortured and jailed. The most massive murder of Ukrainians took place during the 1932-33 Great Famine genocide (known as the Holodomor in Ukrainian), during which millions of deaths were recorded. During the 400 years of occupation of Ukrainian lands by the Russian Empire, and then the Soviet Union, the use of the Ukrainian language was banned 134 times by the Russian government. It also banned the Ukrainian church, printing of Ukrainian books, traditional songs, Ukrainian-language schools, theaters and libraries. It confiscated religious books and declared Ukrainian cultural activities to be harmful.

Yeah I live north of the USA.

Sounds like USA...

Only if you are telling the truth

She recently had an online conversation about Ukraine with Bill Kristol.

Very smart lady!!!

I would add historian Timothy Snyder to that list. His Yale lectures from last autumn, "The Making of Modern Ukraine," are right here on YT. He illustrates the real history of the region that Putin twists into lies to suit his needs.

Trump has a say 😅😂

@@rbcrbc7913 I would also mention Vlad Vexler

Yes, he is famous in Poland for such controversial statements.

Silly man, to say that.

Then he is not a clever man. German tanks will certainly not defend land that is actually German and was occupied by Poland in 1945. That is simply unacceptable in Germany. In fact, the majority of Germans would probably pop the corks if Russia invaded Poland. Until then, Poland does not exist in the perception of most Germans.

I agree with you Putin is a echo of a bygone era allso I think once Ukraine goes in to Crimea Russia gonna collapse.

@@mjdayetube It is a shadow from the past, like many other things that occurred throughout history but no longer exist today.

Listen to John Mearsheimer for a change and try to draw your own conclusions.

I'm not sure why Anne chose to mention Britain in Ireland. That situation bears absolutely no resemblance to Russia in Ukraine.

@@macswad Actually it does. Great Britain ( England, the UK) is a former colonist who regarded Ireland as a part of the British empire and has invaded Irish sovereignty on multiple occasions.

@@pwaegemans I don't think it does because of the timeline. English people had settled in Ireland (& vice versa) long before the definition of sovereignty, or ideas of Empire & even during the Empire people from Ireland served in the British Army. The Irish fought & won their Independence over 100 years ago. UK also supports the principle of the right to self determination & has done so since the 1940's which is why it gave away the world's largest empire without a shot being fired (in most cases!) . During this interview Anne has mis-stated Putin's War Aims. Putin does not want to invade & occupy Ukraine. He merely wants to stop it joining both NATO & the Empire of the EU. Failing to understand Putin is a serious mis-calculation. But at least Anne admits in the interview she failed to see War coming even though almost anyone could have predicted it. Long before Putin came to Power. I'm not quite sure how Anne managed to win the Pulitzer Prize. I'll guess I will have to read her books.

@@macswad Yes, she is quite midwit. Americans know very little about the wider world beyond profits and soundbytes.

@@macswad no Putin wants to occupy Ukraine, install a puppet, and sit back. That's the war aims.

Who was she discussing ?

My family spent four terrible years in a concentration camp in Austria. Great mountain air, happy work in paradise.

Trust Germans when they give you a chance to steal Chechoslovakia territory after Munich)

They don’t trust each other rather sad, Putin is right the greatest crime against Russia was the murder of the Royal Family… a lesson for humanity is that neither the rich nor the poor should be in charge of countries

It'll be a hundred years before anyone ever trusts Russia again, if it even exists that long.

@@cadenrolland5250 no all will trust USA because they promised to Russians that they will not move one inch eastward with NATO enlargement when Gorbachev removed Soviet troops from Germany. Than they withdraw from three agreements about weapon in Europe without any consultation with Russia, than promised in 2008 that Ukraine will be NATO member but did not do this only provoking Russians to fight with Ukraine. Even today they speak with highest level of hypocrisy that Serbia should recognise that Kosovo with US military base is an independent state! When Trump became president he denied all previous agreements of Obama with Iran…I can continue but I am tired to count all US government lies even in USA there are courageous people who don’t fear to blame their government in cheating in policy, Jeffry Sachs, Tulsi Gabbard, John Mearsheimer and many others.

Putin is clearly worried about a democratic Ukraine being allowed to gain strength and prosper, because it will most likely inspire Russians to seek similar changes in their own country. In other words, Putin regards the existence of a free and democratic Ukraine as an existential threat to the future of his own autocratic regime.

What do you mean by the free world? Who is the free world? This is the problem them and us they are the bad guys we are the good ones, and we need to protect ourselves from them, the bad ones, it is called divide and conquer, Fact of life is no one is perfect and no one has any right to claim to be one.

Please. You only have the freedom and democracy as long as you do what the US says. That’s not freedom.

Wasn’t anyone saying that between 1918 and 1939? We just never learn.

I am 58 and European and I have NOT forgotten. You should not draw from yourself and your own ignorance to others. RuSSia has ALWAYS been a terror state. Also, when it called itself Soviet Union.

That is a good point Britain and France have come to terms with loss of empire Russia needs to do the same.

This is not only happening to the Ukrainian empire, for example, nations wanted to free themselves from the British empire, the British had to come to terms with it. Realistically speaking, if you don't have a strong enough army, you have to make compromises with the people under the yoke, but if you have enough power, you don't have to and you can suppress any rebellion and repel anyone who would help free them.

Like your take on the interview and have to agree.👍👍

Russia is a more militaristic culture than Britain and France, and doesn't have a strong economy, as Britain and France had. Its decline is pretty much assured.

@@kosarkosar7683 russia lost its empire because its economy is weak, and its still weak. Attacking Ukraine will just make things worse for Russia.
