"He's Not The Superman We Think Of" - Fiona Hill On Vladimir Putin

Fiona Hill advised three American presidents on Russian policy and has spent time in close proximity to Vladimir Putin, so she is uniquely qualified to talk about the man's strengths, his weak spots, and the things we misunderstand about him. Her book about Vladimir Putin, "There Is Nothing For You Here," is available now. #Colbert #Russia #FionaHill

Mearsheimer is highly qualified and gives a very detailed account of how the conflict was forced and why it was forced. Prof John Mearsheimer is truthful but he is restricted, he cannot say who controls Biden and the USA congress. For that view the video, 'All Wars Are Bankers' Wars', narrated by Michael Rivero.

Her book is fascinating. It's her life story in the UK, US, and Russia. Eyewitness account of how similar economic forces spawned similar political backlash movements in all three places. You will learn so much from it and you'll feel like you really know her as a person (and the drivers of so much recent history) afterwards.

"Fiona Hill has criticized Christopher Steele and said his dossier likely contained Russian disinformation, but she introduced Igor Danchenko, the main source for the research who was indicted in special counsel John Durham's investigation, to both the former MI6 agent and allegedly a Democratic public relations executive who volunteered for Hillary Clinton's 2016 presidential campaign. " She put that in her/his book?

[@r3v3rbs0ul]

She has already written what's widely considered in the US to be the most comprehensive book on Putin. The title is "Mr. Putin: Operative in the Kremlin" and is incredibly insightful, especially now. Although, it is a history book. So it does include a lot of names and dates, but overall she does wonderful at laying out a narrative that is easy to understand regardless. It's a great read and one I'd recommend for anyone that found this short clip or her testimony compelling.

I'm sure he doesn't need any reminder that men who have lived their whole lives in uniform don't want to be made to look week in front of the world.

@@TriploGoofus The oligarchs complaining would be an annoyance, but not a genuine concern to Putin.

You've found a historian who thinks that the crisis was forced onto Russia. There are other people who are also qualified and intelligent, and they profoundly disagree (as reflected by governments). Do you think that in ten years history books will say 'Russia invaded Ukraine, and this was justified by the behaviour of the west'? I'll see but I don't think they will. Whatever concerns Putin had, and the interference in Ukraine, I would think that this invasion is a gross overreaction, which has sadly forfeited any hearing he would have got.
