Biden & Putin’s Years-in-the-Making Faceoff Over Ukraine | Putin and the Presidents | FRONTLINE

By the time Russian President Vladimir Putin met with U.S. President Joe Biden in June 2021 for a summit in Geneva, Switzerland, the two men already had a long and contentious history. Watch an excerpt from “Putin and the Presidents.”
This journalism is made possible by viewers like you. Support your local PBS station here: www.pbs.org/donate.
Drawing on in-depth conversations with insiders from five U.S. presidential administrations, former U.S. intelligence leaders, diplomats, Russian politicians, authors and journalists, “Putin and the Presidents” reveals how the miscalculations and missteps of multiple American presidents over two decades paved the way for Putin’s attack on Ukraine - and offers unique insight into the relationship between Putin and Biden.
“They're children of the Cold War and they see each other and their countries through the Cold War,” Peter Baker of The New York Times says of the two men in the above excerpt from “Putin and the Presidents.” “Biden saw Putin for what he is: a KGB revanchist who wants to remake the Russian empire.”

My feeling here is that 'Mike' is really Mikhail. I say that because the Russian language has no articles (i.e. no 'a', 'an' or 'the'), which is why when Russian people speak English, they often produce phrases like "please be better journalist", without the 'a'. Also, in Russian writing, there are different rules about how to organise paragraphs. And we can see 'Mike' has paragraphed his message quite strangely here, going to a new line after each sentence. He's also forgotten to leave a free line between the paras, as most English-speakers do. So there you go, 'Mike'. A free language lesson 🙂 (And sorry if English really is your first language - but hey, if so, I've saved you from having to sign up to Grammarly and get ripped off by those sharks ;-) )

Its army is a shadow of its former self at the beginning of the war. Zelenskyy is catching and forced conscripting mostly people with zero motivation to die for him, who never served in the army, often disabled.

@@blatzstats explain this to my logically. The west says Ukraine has been winning and seizing Russian equipment, and Russia is loses are over 100k, then how does Russia still control 20% of Ukraine and is about to capture Bakhmut. Why would Ukraine need more weapons if they’re already getting donations from Russia. In perspective, the US and Allies have sent a total of 3,200 equipment to Ukraine and twice Russian military budget in aid. Another 2.5bn in aid announced three days ago. Like just think with common sense. It’s so sad the only people suffering are those poor men of the Ukrainian army. You can only hide the truth for so long…

@@blatzstats that doesn’t translate to Ukraine winning on the battlefield. Let me explain something to you, in a battle, you generally need to outnumber the defending team 3 to 1. There was a total of 190k soldiers February 24th 2022, some stationed in Kyiv and the rest in the Donbas region. The plan was never to take Kyiv but to stop any reinforcement for the Donbas. Yes he underestimated Ukraine but that’s cos he never expected they wouldn’t surrender and they were going to but the West aided by Boris Johnson ensured that wouldn’t happen. Either ways, we are speaking on the present, and honestly, you need to watch something other than western propaganda to understand how bad the situation is. Ukraine loses sometimes 500 soldiers a day, you think the Wagner group took Soledad by not killing anyone? “Russia is weak” but we need a lot more weapons even though we’ve gotten twice the yearly military budget of Russia. Over 100bn$ sent to Ukraine, over 3000 vehicle and 8,000 artillery systems. I don’t think you’re really applying logic, those things don’t just disappear, something is taking them out. Ukraine has had 8 drafts of mobilization, with that number of man power, Russia had to increase the number of their troops by the 300k. Here’s how you know the west is full of shit, they said Russia was picking conscripts, I.e. people with no fighting experience. Does that even make sense for an army that has 2m reservist and 900,000 active duty members? Like how on earth does anyone with a brain believe that they’d leave the military personnels and pick civilians, lol. They also talked about Russia being so desperate just sending all these guys to their death but we know that’s not true. Russia sent about 70k troops in the first month to reinforce their defenses after losing Kherson. The remaining 230k have been training for a massive offensive that Ukraine and the west are warning about now. That’s why the bulk of the fighting is in Bakhmut, the rest of the troops have been building defensive and offensive lines about 1000km long, there’s no way in hell, Ukraine can defend those lines. The reality is once Bakhmut falls and it will, no doubt, Kreminna and Sloversiak would fall and the offensive can start. Y’all would understand this isn’t Hollywood

Im so sick of Biden. He just made immigration easier with the laws passing at the end of the year, fast tracking green cards, loosening requirements. People applying for green cards through marriage, aren't even required to have an interview with immigration. Our national security is heartbreaking to people who have fought for America in the military. The number one task of a government is to provide national security. How are we paying taxpayer dollars to secure a country's boarder but we are just going to allow ours to be as porious as Swiss cheese? Our obligation is to America

[@bixbysnyder-00]

You know without immigration, the US would have a declining birth rate right? Legal immigration is great for an economy. And as I doubt you're native American, I can't understand your hatred of legal immigration 🤷‍♂️
