He should have just continued his march on Putin. There is a saying: Never leave your enemy behind you alive, else he will arise before you and destroy you. (Shaka Zulu)

He wasn't that bright

@@user-vy4xx2qp3dmaybe but it's also mania that is part of fascist aggressive behavior and psychopathy and its a little bit in even regular GOP/republicans here in the US too. Very dangerous mania

Maybe at least 9 other people thought he was safe. That's the message Putin sent - don't even sign on with the next person who thinks they can defy me.

Hmmmmmmm......if I were thinking like a Repub, YES, this was a definite "accident"!😅

Hmmmmm ... modern western politician's short sided memory about RuZZian war crimes and crimes against humanity since the RuZZian revolution of 1917 is a long forgotten record in itself.

Could be. You never know

Could be, with a 1,000,000 to 1 odds, but still it could be, but all signs indicate it was not

Like on 0bama's watch, our SEALs were taken down from getting inside info

Lol

But so crude it continues to be funny.

@banksiasong I completely agree. She earned my respect years ago so I was very happy when @facethenation posted this interview.

I also miss not having more of her intelligent insights.

Michael McFaul former American ambassador to Russia is great too.

Timothy Snyder put on an entire online course through Yale University about Ukraine's history. It's free on youtube. To hell with Pooptin, Prigozhin and the rest of the RuZZian terrorist state. It seems like that western media is trying to find an excuse for the Ruzzian war criminals every time they talk about it.

omg "RS" get over yourself man no remembers your name

But the Russians themselves laugh at her conclusions at the level of a 5-year-old child. But against the background of the arguments of other fake experts on Russia, she seems brilliant.

Definitely not anyone in the GOP. They all have consumed the Russian/authoritarian Kool aid

She is a liar for the MIC.

I met Fiona Hill recently. She's a very experienced, well-informed and capable person. Her analysis is always worth listening to.

Clinton’d we call it.

@@Thebob6 Hey hey hey, dont talk about that yet.

It's the russian way. No expensive, lengthy trial and incarceration. No lies other than the obvious. Tremendous message to the opposition. But . . .

No doubt 🤪

​@@Thebob6Far worse than getting Trumped (going to jail as a lawyer defending a client)

The people who should rule will never. The people who want it should never I can only think of one example. Marcus Aurelius who actually took up the role yet also he never wanted to position so.. I can’t think of one example

​@@ssing7113 Lofty insight notwithstanding, Earth needs triage: it's beyond any single nation. We need those who wish to step forward and who deserve trust of the populace. Given what's been happening in the US, tho, even that's a desperate fantasy. Take care.

There are a few who could be great - but they are sane enough not to do it. Sadly this leaves us with what we have currently. While Biden is old he does a good job. The GOP? Total clown show …

@cekuhnen The GOP aims for being *royally flushed* with Trump's leadership to occupy yet another southern White House (after Mar-a-Lago) in Valdosta, Georgia. 🤯

She’s from Bishop Auckland, England

@@keithrobson593 well I didn’t know that (or perhaps she did mention it in one her books & I had forgotten it), but thank you for noting that for me! You have made my day. Kind regards to you. R H Auckland, NZ 🇳🇿

​@@rogerhawkins6433the clue is in her accent 😊

@@nevg2067 ha! Very funny! Thanks for making me laugh first thing after I woke up! A great start to the day! 🇳🇿 Of course we Kiwis don’t have an accent - we speak the Queens English! 🤓👍

@@nevg2067 I'm English, and grew up in the North. It's lovely to hear a US policy expert with such a non-compromised accent so obviously revealing her roots.

not exactly a diplomat. She's actually an expert level diplomat and has abilities far beyond the avg diplomat

Why are you saying that? Is she in Pooptin's head?

@@rambleon2838She is a expert in current Russian politics. Can you say the same for yourself? Are you fluent in Russian? Have you lived there and advised our own government as to what to expect from Putin? I’m guessing not. But she is so I listen to people who are ethical and know more than I do. Can you say the same thing?

@@theskyehiker I've watched many interviews since she was thrown into the lamp light during the first impeachment. She has not brought anything new to the table I haven't already heard. Since she hasn't been working within the government for years now, I highly doubt she has the latest intel on the current Russian affairs. Who actually really has? We've been watching and speculating based on propaganda the Kremlin has been releasing. There has been no transparency and insight in that plane crash. A plane crash in the west would take years of investigation to come to a conclusion. The Russians did it in less than a week - and the conclusion is that the west or Ukraine downed the plane. And it always happens to be so that somebody on the ground was at the perfect location with a camera to provide one piece of evidence to the puzzle that it must be true. Pregozhin could have traded his soon to be cold field tent in Belarus for a mud hut somewhere deep inside of Africa while he's getting his identity reworked, afaik. Wasn't he supposed to be exiled to Belarus and never return to Moscow again? Face the Nation gave an informal eulogy to an international war criminal, which both failed to remind it's viewers, and spent more time talking about him in this interview than Russian RT has done the entire last week. As far as I know, there has been nobody in the west who was able to interview Prigozhin once. Therefore, we know very little about that criminal, except he has a lot of blood on his hands. I recommend watching the PBS Frontline series, Putin and the Presidents, Ep. One, to get an idea why we are where we are, today, regarding Russia. What good do the brightest minds working behind the scenes, in foreign diplomacy and in the intel community if an egomaniac leader refuse to take their advise, brush it off or misjudges the situation all together.

In his own nitche, he was quite brilliant. Trusting Putin after biting the hand that fed him was not his best thinking. I suspect he knew he'd be killed and wanted to be away from his troops when it happened to minimize collateral damage.

Fiona for president!!

And a solid Brit!!!!!

you have a strange definition of "patriot."

@@thornil2231 Well than don't ask MAGAts to define it then.

🎉🎉🎉

She is losing her Geordie accent. That is a sacrifice. Whey ay !

She is not a Geordie, she was born in bishop Auckland. A Geordie is born on the the banks of the Tyne.@@SunofYork

I’ve been a Fiona Hill admirer for years and I am not an American. She is respected and listened to almost everywhere.

@@georgine321 Listened to and admired by the trumpositories ? I think not...

Prigozhin faked hos death in a plane crash a few years ago, and then showed up alive in Ukraine SMO. dont be so gullible.

She is British, but the class system is such that she had a glass or class ceiling put in her ability to advance. We American's only hear a "British" accent. In Britain, her accent denoted her start in life- poor and from the Northern part of the country. But compare it to Prince, now King Charles, the man formerly known as Prince, and you can tell the difference. We don't care. The British very much did, and that's how we wound up with her. .

@@mmeeddddddozzzzzzz3421 Friendly old Brit: Nothing like that at all. She is a Harvard graduate so why not stay in US rather than compete against Oxford/Cambridge "old school tie" appointment system.

BRILLIANT...!

Putin asked for a "high" window. Kremlin said "OK SIR" we found one🤪🤮

I like it!

the good life stateside

Maybe our change of presidency was a relief.

@@PLODay-bk8ws Yes. She was probably under tremendous deadly pressure for going against Trump. It is nice to see her looking good. One of the few really informed voices we get to hear on American media. Compare her to an actual US Republican Congresswoman like Marjorie Taylor -Greene.

I admire the hell out of this woman for her brains and eloquence. And she clearly keeps herself fit. But I think she’s learned (or been coached) how to project her best appearance, because she looks as good as she sounds. Still takes me a few sentences to get the accent though.

10 yrs younger than what?

Then you have not seen her testimony

A school kid could see this happening.

@@timstrong2483 Well I have. And I agree totally with the above comment. I suppose you consider Marjorie Taylor Greene to be the epitome on high intelligence.

@christinequinn5355 *of* high intelligence BTW. Rep Taylor Green speaks for her constituents and is not relevant to me or this conversation. Keep your hate and intolerance to yourself. Hills advice on, and roll in foreign relations has been a contributing factor to what is the billion dollar swirling toilet bowl of death and suffering that is modern day Ukraine. Hill is a very accomplished person however the products of her philosophy are historically catastrophic.

Prigozhin faked hos death in a plane crash a few years ago, and then showed up alive in Ukraine SMO. dont be so gullible.

Can I suggest an esoteric book "Life In The Universe" ? It echoes and supports your statement that nations either proceed down the (often messy) path of supporting and enabling personal freedoms which culminates in a democratic society (in some form). The other path (easier in some ways) is in which individual liberties are curtailed and subservient to the needs of the state/nation. We see this playing out very clearly in our nations here on Earth. 🙏

I'm American (from Brooklyn NY) and I'm just curious how did Margaret Thatcher destroy your part of town?

I though it was a cleaning fluid..

What about arresting a man who exposed war crimes committed against civilians

earth to you and many here making similar 'captain obvious' statements: why say what is obvious?

Prigozhin faked hos death in a plane crash a few years ago, and then showed up alive in Ukraine SMO. dont be so gullible.

Truly a very Repub Tactic.

Of course it was wicked but when a Cuban terrorist planted a bomb on a plane carrying Cuban athletes from Venezuela the USA gave the terrorist sanctuary not condemnation.

😂😂😂

Either way, he’s dead….Putin is happy

He tried to overthrow Putin, and people who oppose Putin seem to be very accident prone..

No, because Putin's got a hold of them. The FSB however? Maybe... This seems wrong to me; it's almost Russian Roulette.

Although Prighozin criticized the Russian military leadership he was also criticizing Putin as well since Putin was in charge of the military. Also Putin was diminished by Prighozin so Putin had to show who was boss.

Prigozhin faked hos death in a plane crash a few years ago, and then showed up alive in Ukraine SMO. dont be so gullible.

"Never trust Russians, Russians don't even trust each other" Otto von Bismarck, (1815-98 )Germany's first chancellor.

Was it anymore callous as the bombing of Baghdad, was it anywhere near as callous as the massacre at My Lai or the dropping of the bomb on thousands of innocent civilians in Hiroshima and Nagasaki ?

Are you insane?

@@sayitasitis100 Is it anymore callous as of the bombings of civilian buildings, schools and hospitals in Syria, Ukraine, Georgia, Chechnya, Afghanistan killing 10th of thousand of children, women and elders?

A number of news outlets reported that top members of the Wagner leadership were on the plane, so it wasn't just Prigozhin who was killed.

Putin's military is post WWII equipment and is pathetic.

I think they killed him weeks ago and are just now admitting it

or an eagle considering the sheriff and his deputy got knocked out the box
