Amanpour: interview with Putin, emigration forever, who destroyed the USSR

Christiane Amanpour is one of the most famous journalists in the world, the chief international columnist for CNN. She was born in Iran and left forever after the Islamic Revolution. In the early 90s, Amanpour became famous for her reporting from the former Yugoslavia. She has covered the Rwandan genocide, the Somali, Congo and Persian Gulf wars, and has been a regular visitor to Ukraine for the past year.

Mikhail, please continue your brilliant work! I am glad that you found a safer haven outside Russia and hope that one day you can visit your free home country!

[@coopaloopmex]

Fantastic discussion. Amanpour is so knowledgeable

[@federicoguerrera5535]

I’ve been loving your interviews, all very informative indeed. I wish people here in the West were more attentive to such issues, and your channel could grow more. Thanks for the great piece of journalism you do.

What is great and not often discussed- Right and Left are joining in support for Ukraine- forming the beginning of dialogue

[@hannesforster1845]

Another very good interview. Thank you!

The fixed oil price was set at a level that allows russian oil to be sold but with little profit. This stabilized the oil market with little benefit to putin.

Japan just broke that ceiling. Anyone that took Econ 101 knows that price ceilings don't work.

Waiting for Amonpour's interview with Putin.

Прям норм, и вопросы в точку.

[@daviddoink872]

Are her camp admitting that there were no WMD ?

[@markholland7322]

Reporting from Western Europe, I feel that many who had sympathy for Putin felt betrayed when Russia did invade Ukraine, despite the denials before that happened and despite efforts to come to an agreement. And in my opinion it is this betrayal of trust that will secure continued western unity and support for Ukraine.

[@susannadecerbo1463]

Americans won’t give up on Ukraine! We love and admire Zelensky. Putin needs to be held accountable.

[@markholland7322]

If you love Russia so much, I am sure you drive a superior Russian car, wear superior Russian clothes and use superior Russian drugs. I am sure you are saving money so you can finally move away from the terrible western world you are forced to live now, so you can finally began your wonderful free and honest life in Russia

Kenneth Mant Nath Zelensky could have been a super hero - still buttered up the West, while building Ukraine reserves, i.e., from grain to gold. Half Ukraine lies in ruins. Ukraine diaspora must have mixed feelings.

[@meatrealwishes]

Zelensky represents the people. He cant do what they don’t want. That’s how it works in democracy. Nazis will be very happy to read your comment. Logically, you are saying destruction of USSR by them was Stalin’s fault. He buttered up the west since he needed their help exactly like today’s Ukraine.

[@kennethmantnath8146]

@@meatrealwishes Last recourse of a scoundrel, nuance fair comment he doesn't like and reference it to Nazism and Stalinism.

[@markholland7322]

Actually, Ukrainian diaspora is very positive in Europe (of course there are some conservatives who are against any kind of aliens, no matter what) but most have seen hard working people eager to learn the language and get things moving. Either they go back to Ukraine with this additional knowledge and network, or they stay and have the network with Ukraine: the ties with Europe have become so much stronger in the past year and I can tell you from what I see around me, that basically even the most right wing xenophob has at least some sympathy for Ukrainian refugees, and have respect for their willingness to work and learn the language. Rebuilding Ukraine has already started, it’s a transformation from post-imperialist and post-socialist to a modern nation

[@benjaminmitchell5345]

FFS they didn't invade "for no reason" that is what the US did in Iraq...get your facts right
