From spy to president: The rise of Vladimir Putin

Putin’s intent on pushing back against the Western world order... and it appears to be working. Follow Vox for the latest: bit.ly/3Kcg9Nb

Vladimir Putin has been ruling Russia since 1999. In that time he has shaped the country into an authoritarian and militaristic society. The Soviet Union dissolved into 15 new countries, including the new Russian Federation. In Putin’s eyes, Russia had just lost 2 million square miles of territory. But Putin’s regime has also developed and fostered the most effect cyber hacker army in the world and he’s used it to wreak havoc in the West. But the election of Donald Trump brings new hope for the Putin vision. Trump’s rhetoric has been notably soft on Russia. He could lift sanctions and weaken NATO, potentially freeing up space for Putin’s Russia to become a dominant power once again.

[@lordsauron3727]

I also want to add sth.. Yes, Russia was provoked by the western aspiration (e.g.becoming a NATO member)and domestic/foreign politics that Georgia was making at that time. Since Georgia's independent politics for Russia is unacceptable and percievs this as a security threat. So yes, Russia was provoked because an independent country attempted to make its own foreign politics :DDDDDD

@@LG-lb7sf that would give NATO its new purpose... Unfortunately, Ukraine wasn't part of NATO when the invasion occurred, though Ukraine (plus Georgia) had been planning to be in NATO for a long time, but their plans are put on hold. But hopefully when the time comes... they will, but I am quite afraid of war... to be honest.

@@ROBLOXGamingDavid Imagine losing your life and country based on a technicality. Humans make up those rules, they can change them as soon as they want to. I am aware of them wanting to be a part of NATO, being that Putin started this war based on that. We are already at war, we have to accept that and defend our international community but we're not. I'm so sad.... Anyway, I hope you are safe and thank you for your thoughts :)

[@Guns_Turbos_Action]

@@LG-lb7sf Yes you're right, it does feel like more could be done which is what's saddening all of us. I think the consequences that we don't understand as 'normal' people (apologies if you are a politician/military etc.) is what is preventing the forces from taking the action we all feel they should have by now 😕

[@williammayer1721]

This commentator is so tendentious in his portrayal of Putin. Putin is not my favorite person, but I respect his leadership skills. He missed so many nuances that were essential for Putin's politics. First, Yeltic was an American puppy dog. He let the West rob Russian natural resources. Russian oligarchs were a conduit to do that. When Putin took over, he just ended the party. That's why they hate him so much. No more stealing. Second, all these rebellions in Georgia, Chechnia, Belarus, Ukraine, Kazakhstan, or Armenia are a result of the CIA's meddling there. They wanted to destabilize Russia and possibly divide it so that it would be easier to control. Third, Putin's foreign policy was the result of NATO's aggressive eastward expansion. No word in his comments about that. This piece was a typical propagandistic material to discredit Russia and glorify the West and the U.S.

[@mara-zc7hx]

of course, all the evil Americans and not the crimes of the Russians. 2022 after the beginning of the occupation of Ukraine by Russian troops. Finland became a member of NATO. the border with Russia and NATO increased by 1000 kilometers, why didn't Russia prevent this? Why did Putin say that this is Finland's business?
