So far you have literally done all 3.

It could be his worldview, doesn’t mean it is reasonable or sane. Do you truly imagine NATO randomly attacking a country with half of the worlds nuclear power?

Yes, like a proper terrorist would do - “do as I say, or else …”

Have you been getting your insights from these guys? Coz I swear your views on russian politics sound exactly like them ? In any case, I highly recommend you ask them to join! You might even receive a complimentary bag of rice and buckwheat if you do!

It doesn’t bother you that Oliver Stone asked putin to be his daughter’s godfather? You think that someone who is putin’s friend will make an honest documentary about him? “What’s the Russian equivalent of Kool-Aid? Whatever it is, it’s definitely red – and Oliver Stone has eagerly drunk it down. The trailers for The Putin Interviews, Showtime’s four-part series documenting a series of conversations between Russian President Vladimir Putin and Stone, would have you believe that you’re going to hear some pretty hard-hitting stuff as the autocrat and the filmmaker face off, Frost-Nixon style. What we got instead was a series of softballs lobbed lovingly in the direction of one of the most powerful and dangerous men in the world. Except for a few moments, Stone seems serenely unconcerned with anything beyond flattering his subject – and engaging in some supremely one-sided exchanges about history and policy along the way.” https://www.rollingstone.com/tv-movies/tv-movie-news/10-most-wtf-things-we-learned-from-oliver-stones-putin-interviews-197547/amp/ “The veteran director has been accused of pandering to Putin for his four-hour documentary on the Russian leader, but he remains unrepentant. Could it be the climax to his career?“ ”Stone’s epic four-part film The Putin Interviews was described by the Daily Beast as a “wildly irresponsible love letter” to Russia’s president. It “says as much about Oliver Stone as it does Vladimir Putin”, said CNN. “Flattery, but little scepticism,” said the New York Times.” https://amp.theguardian.com/tv-and-radio/2017/jun/13/oliver-stone-vladimir-putin-russian-people-never-been-better-off “The Putin Interviews, a four-part series created from two years of conversations between Oliver Stone and Putin, somehow manages to both spout the Kremlin line and fall back on the laziest American clichés about Russia. In the opening credits, a map of the Soviet Union is transformed into a matryoshka doll. In at least the first two of the four parts, Stone aids and abets Putin, who lies by omission and pushes conspiracy theories, all while adding in such helpful information as “Russians are strong” and “Russians are macho.” https://foreignpolicy.com/2017/06/07/oliver-stones-putin-interviews-will-teach-you-little-about-putin-and-even-less-about-russia/

I’ve watched it. Was truly impressed at how you can use media and paint even the devil himself as a good friend, hardworking loyal father and family man, always willing to help people… almost dropped a tear there… Oliver Stone is a either a truly clueless dumbass or just low-key spreading russian propaganda to clueless people. I watched his interview recently with Lex Friedman too. It’s easy to believe him when you don’t have the insight and knowledge of the situation - like when he so passionately talks about Medvedchuk, as a person who was so mistreated by the Ukrainian government, for no reason whatsoever, pure innocence - now when you don’t know that Putin is Medvedchuk daughter’s godfather.. it might all indeed seem so reasonable, nuanced, and “meta” to you..

Oliver Stone? Putin’s long time buddy? Sure, that shouldn’t be full of crap and biased at all…

Sure, perhaps getting rid of the alcoholics and wife beaters by using them as cannon fodder in Ukraine is step 1. Starting a kind of “natural selection” cleansing process in russia.. Also grandpas, that way you don’t have to pay them any retirement/medical benefits

Sure, money may not be his main motivator, but it doesn’t mean that he’s doing this now either: “His life purpose is to make Russia as strong as possible for the good of the Russian people.” Again, if this was the case, it seems more reasonable to start looking into ways to build up russian economy in order to prevent further fecal drowning accidents. If he is so smart, as you claim he is, he would be more reasonable and able to constructively identify the depth of the ass that russia is in economically and developmentally and adjust his “to-dos” accordingly.

Lol, sure, why does he need a $1.5 billion dollar mansion then? Wouldn’t that money be better spent preventing “drowning in faeces” accidents in russia? Helping its citizens to be able to afford the first world luxury and safety of indoor toilets? https://www.express.co.uk/news/world/574287/Man-drowns-own-faeces-dies-cesspit-toilet-Russia/amp Also, what’s with all the Botox and fillers grandpa keeps on getting?

Well, my point is, that as an intelligent being, that you keep claiming to be, why even bring up such non-sense? Like I said, on the 0-10 intelligence scale, from 0 being the dumbest and 10 being the wisest argument you could discuss about Ukraine war, the “nazi” problem in Ukraine is a 0. It is equivalent of me posting this russian nazi picture and asking of you to explain it…

@Hello from Russia I truly think it would help you to understand the situation with nazis in Ukraine, if we first talk about the nazi situation in russia Could you please explain to me why are there people in russia doing the nazi salute?

That is not true. The fighting that started there in 2014 was because of russia. Russia wanted to de-stabilize Ukraine after Maidan since it lost it’s influence in Ukraine when the pro-russian president was overthrown. Russia wanted to halt Ukraine’s integration with European Union, and so it started the conflict in the eastern Ukraine. There were lots of soldiers captured there with russian passports, and the ammunition and military equipment was coming from russia.

@Hello from Russia Let’s first establish this, if it wasn’t for russia invading in 2014, there would be no “nazis” and no Azov battalion. Russia started the conflict in 2014, so it could then use it as a pre-tense to: 1. Annex Crimea 2. Start a full blown war a few years later Thats just a game russia played. De-stabilized the east of Ukraine, then used it to justify the full blown war. Just like any other country, Ukraine has a tiny monitory (0.0001-2%) of, like I mentioned, rapists, nazis, psychopaths, drug addicts, etc. Knowing that majority of russian population is easily brainwashed and unable of nuanced complex analysis , like the one in my prior sentence, russia used a few of such extremely rare examples, and blew it out of proportion. As a matter of fact, if I had nothing else to do with my life, I could google pictures of russian nazis, and find a ton of them too, like the one below. So why is there such a huge problem with anti-semitism in russia?

@Hello from Russia

“Neo-Nazism comprises the post–World War IImilitant, social, and political movements that seek to revive and reinstate Nazi ideology. Neo-Nazis employ their ideology to promote hatred and white supremacy, attack racial and ethnic minorities (which include antisemitism and Islamophobia), and in some cases to create a fascist state.[1][2]” I think @Something Funny explained brilliantly that Ukrainian “nazis” do not apply to this description.

They were not formed to fight “russian population”, they were formed to fight russia that invaded in 2014. There was no issues in the eastern part of Ukraine prior to 2014.

It was formed in 2014… after russia first invaded the eastern part of Ukraine, to fight russia..

The “nazis” live in the western Ukraine. Unless you are saying that for some reason the “nazis” from western Ukraine travelled all the way to the east of Ukraine to abuse the russian speaking population there… what you’re saying just doesn’t make sense whatsoever. Is Alaska American? Who’s to say? Ukraine has been investing in the infrastructure in Crimea, developing its economy, etc., for years. You can’t just come and chop a peace of land away because you desire to do so..

In the eastern Ukraine? That’s impossible.

Yes, but the fighting that started in 2014 was also sponsored by russia..

Sorry, but how exactly pointing out the extreme ridiculousness of “Ukrainians are Nazis” propaganda an example of “emotional thinking”?

All videos on Leo’s channel? I’ve outgrown Leo years ago, I started watching him in 2014 lol ? But anyways, you sound very toxic, you don’t even make any arguments, just talk about how unbiased and meta you are and attack people without having a clue of their background. I am going to assume you’re a little child and move on.

Leo understands very little of what’s going on in this war and he himself spits out a lot of russian propaganda claiming that he is just trying to be unbiased. I mean… He recommended here a few months ago to watch Oliver Stone’s documentary on Putin. Oliver Stone who is a long time Putin’s buddy… If that doesn’t tell you how clueless Leo is, idk what else will…
