Putin is the type of guy who reads the whole terms and conditions and clicks "I disagree"
I don't know why I laughed for 10 mins reading this comment
Lol

Haha😄😅😂😂🤣🤣
Putin is a sincere leader for russia.
Bush makes Putin look like angel 😇
Russia did not invade Chechnya because its part of Russia. These people really know how to manipulate unaware people
So what then, Russia invades Russia ?????? That makes sense,
You people are lying against him because he is fighting for the truth stop lying against him
I'm telling you ..
Some things I feel are important to add: 1) Putin said that the collapse of the USSR was a drama for RUssian people because millions of people were now in foreign national states, families were separated etc.; 2) "Russia invading Chechnya" sounds like it has invaded a foreign country, but Chechnya was and is a part of the Russian Federation, controlled by separatist rebels in the 90s; 3) Russian economy growing rapidly in 2000-2008 is not so closely connected with Putin - after early free market turmoil it is kind of expected from economy`s side that it had to start growing after initial shake-up, also rising prices of natural resources helped; 4) Putin`s view of Russia in the world is based not on "Russia above all" etc, but we can clearly see that he`s opposing the monopolar system and thrives to make our world multipolar with Russia as one of many independent influential actors; 5) About being walled off of foreign medias - here I am, writing this comment from Russia in English on a foreign channel, and neither The Times, DW, and you name it - any other english speaking media isn`t banned or unavailable for people here, we too use the global internet, just like the rest of the humanity. Thanks for coming to my TED talk :) Anyways I would like to thank the host for her great job, I enjoy watching her videos and wish her all the best in personal life and career.
she is just another western propaganda puppet
@Peaceful Citizen yeah like the US doesn't have billionaires who influence the government. People like Elon Musk who are rich because of government funds. Very little difference between billionaires and "oligarchs"
USSR was dismantled in benefit to USA which also was suffering destruction was at the edge of abyss,and only Eltsin could save USA from demolition. Only after disjunction of USSR began to recover USA from its illness, pumping the wealth of USSR to USA
It is modern world every day we see changes happening . It seems that President Putin has no Change and he want to see same in Russia as well as in World. So President Putin need to change his ways and style and he has to know limit and enjoy his life. He is Great man and King of world. I see high time for him to take rest and enjoy life with his beautiful family.
And these "separatists rebels" were islamic terrorists and gangs, which were well known in the 90-s in Russia for kidnapping and slave trade. Then they invaded Republic of Degestan, a part of the Russian Federation in the 1999 at the same time as they sent some terrorists for trip across southern Russia for exploding civilians houses and killing numerous people. Nice "rebbels".
10:34 - *"Are we putting missiles next to the US borders?!"* - He's completely right at this point.
While I understand your point, I don't think Putin's reluctance to station missiles near the USA border stems from altruism. Rather, it seems to be a reflection of Russia's relatively lesser power compared to the USA. If Russia had more power, it's likely that they would consider a similar move. Also, Putin's expansionist and imperialistic mindset is evident from his actions, which he doesn't try to conceal. One can observe this behavior in the countries that are currently in the Russian sphere of influence. Although many of them may not have willingly joined this union, they have been left with no choice since Russia has the potential to be a dangerous enemy. For instance, Chechnya, Georgia, and Ukraine are examples of what will happen to you if you decide to be independent of Russian control.
Russian people are heroes
@@angelachanelhuang1651 Russian people are identical to Americans, Brazilians, Chineses, Japaneses, Europeans, Africans and so on. To sum up, ignorants like everyone else.
Since the beginning of humanity poor and ignorant people are used to die fighting in wars to loot for others (the rich part, of course).

Best Leader Ever... Vladimir Putin❤❤❤
2:00 Mafia ? Operates at the edge of the law ? No restriction ?
Does he know that he was asked to describe the KGB and not the CIA ?
I was thinking same way
He forgot
Are you trying to say the KGB don't operate within the arms of the law? Do what law guides them in their operation? And what law guides the CIA and other American intelligence agencies
This style of video reporting is the most educational, because it's 1) setting is calm, 2) well-paced, 3) sets up essential background information, 4) puts that in context, 5) uses only short audio/video clips that support what is being said, 6) the particular reporter is relaxed, well spoken, not behind a desk, well postured, not over/under dressed, non distracting. Many many good points. 👍🏾 👍🏾 Impressive.
Of course it is Aljazeera what do you expect?
Agreed.
The human mind in the 2020’s can only handle short bits of targeted information that validate its position.
It has lost the ability to research other perspectives and come to it’s own informed conclusion.
Good luck with your projects.👍
He’s the best leader. Everything is done is to protect his people and his country. Everything NATO done wasn’t for their people or their country but for the BANKS
It's impossible to agree that Putin's actions can be considered as impulsive and unpredictable. Regardless of our opinion on the causes of the military conflict in Ukraine, it started in 2014, not in 2022. Moreover, Putin warned on the eventual full-scale invasion and negotiated with western leaders in 2021-2022, but his concerns were ignored.
Sir police man, it is not my faul that she got raped. I warned her and her skirt was too short. I warned her and she ignored it.
Adam, you are really funny!
This is not invasion this is protection against nato.
It’s about Russia’s and Putins Survival.
We know the Western Media would love nothing more than to show images of him being dragged through the streets of Moscow and killed by his own people like Hussein and Gaddafi.
He doesn’t deserve that. His only crime is being too patriotic and intelligent for them.
Why are you speaking for Putin? ALL OF YOU, AMERICAN AND FOREIGN MEDIA "SPEAK FOR" PUTIN, but NONE OF YOU invite him to sit down and offer HIS point of view surrounding this conflict with Ukraine. THE TRUTH FROM THE SOURCE vs. Rhetoric from people like you.
Trues up.
Let’s talk about the United State and which countries have they invaded directly or in coup d’état.
Please take the log on your own eyes so that you can see clearly the little splinter in others.
Just because we in the west hate Putin doesn't mean we don't hate the US. I can tell you that a LOT of people (outside of the US itself of course) hate the US as well. But im sure your corrupt media doesn't say anything about that huh. I'm sure we're all just dumb idiots who love the us and nato huh. Get your head out of your a** man.
He's a patriot of his country
And that means a pAtriot can't be an ahole. Look at hitler!
@@indieanna4380 start looking towards the NATO nations first
@@SchultzDorinda how about start looking at Putin first
I miss the days Aljazeera used to be neutral.
His young brother died of malnutrition in the siege of Leningrad. That is crucial to understanding him
It was his older brother that Putin never met because he was born after his death.
@@dianamechoulam4161 What I meant by young was that the child was just three years old when he died of malnutrition in Stalingrad.
It was not younger brother which would have implied Putin was older.
Either way a tragedy which I'm sure affects events to this day with regard to Russia and decisions taken
@@787maggie I thought that kind of tragical experience suppoused to cause a compassion feeling to the other people if we speak about the soul of a menthaly healthy person…but definitely not opposite..
@@dianamechoulam4161 I would consider it a trauma for the family.
Putin would have grown up with a grieving mother
He is on record as saying the one the cannot forgive is betrayal
NATO should have been disbanded after the cold war but they continually broke promises to Russia and encircled them.
No country suffered as much as Russia at the hands of the Nazis.
Putin does have compassion for people but if you threaten Russia watch out. He said it so many times
So how old is putin?
Please just tell us one single country that isn't a victim of western imperialism !!
Tell me which country is the victim????
@@VIPP79 Yugoslavia, countries in Africa and the Middle East
He did what he had to do.
Make an episode also for George W. Bush, tony blairs and others for what they were thinking when invading and killing hundreds of thousands in iraq, libya, syria etc!!
my country will always be friendly with russia instead of having a conflict with russia because it is not profitable at all
Who is he?? Only the greatest in the world.
❤ Vladimirovich
Low level analysis
how can this leave out how he changed Russia to super power again.
As much as we disagree with Putin and vehemently oppose his invasion of Ukraine we gotta admit that fact that many Russians support Putin and he did ''' return'' much of Russia to It's former power at differing levels. HAD warned the many from underestimating Putin's Russia as am an independent geopolitical analyst and theorist. To Understand Putin's Russia we also gotta read or hear a mostly obscure to us in the West voice, that of Alezandr Dugin. To me, Dugin is ''Putin's Brains'' and is in many ways the social, philosophik, political and spiritual Voice of Russia. And my fellow netizen, in western words, Dugin is fkn hardcore !
@@adrianhdragon718 You people are all NUTS.
It's a bit too late to find out who is Putin.
🤣🤣🤣Sandra didn't have content and decided to talk about a man we all know.
000
He is a savior of Mother Russia and a Vengeance of Russian People.
What about your own back yard.. your leader. STOP blaming others
KGB is mafia and what are FBi CiA
Two things al jazeera didn't mention :
1. Putin saw west as threat AFTER he tried to join russia in EU and NATO, both of which turned him down. He'll he even then gave west his hand during war on terror.
2. Maidan coup happened in ukraine 2014 before crimea annexation where coup govt killed russian speaking population which called on russia for help.
People's memories are very short...like one year short..this was widely publicized for years now but suddenly everyone has forgotten...
Bless you!!!!!
The Euromadian actually happened because the Ukrainian President turned down a deal from the west and putin responded by invading the East.
Putin is a Great Man
What a wonderful President
"russia's defending their own territories" here fixed it for you.
He is a very very smart man
To master time itself is a very very rare talent
@robdirkadirka please attend his press conferences and listen, then attend our president's!
@@relaxingsounds4821 thanks
@robdirkadirka deviant? Are you judging? Do you know exactly what's going on. Thou shalt not judge
If he was smart then his war wouldn't have turned out to be a catastrophe. He
There's nothing smart about isolating Russia from the world. He screwed the entire couintry.
President Putin is definitely the greatest leader of the century because the lies of the West can never brain wash the wise and good people 😅
Like when He said he doesnt want to invade ukraine.
Or when He said ukrainian government is only consisting of drug addict nazis right.
He is a hero, a symbolism to the world that you can fight western colonialism.
Russian mercenaries murder Africans for money and steal their resources
How do you call us westerners full of propaganda and then say things like this?? I can call my president whatever I like, if I critisize Putin in Russia I'll get arrested!! Don't you think that's a little f*** up?? Besides western colonialism?? Really? I know the US sucks and how they've probably invaded more countries than Russia has at this point. But do you really think we all just love the US? Reality check: WE DON'T!! But your corrupt russian media won't say anything about that huh. They just portray us as some sort of USA loving family of propaganda heads. smh
@@FunkyPants097 colonialism is generally not in the minds of common people right now who peacefully live in the western countries, so when we talk about colonialism it's the act that are propagated by the government of your western countries. not to spread the gift of democracy but to fill their greed of power and money.
For God's sake, annexing pieces of other people's countries is the textbook definition of colonailism.
He is selfish cheater and showman
Most people of his country live in poverty and have low education.
So they support him, because he spends a lot of money for propaganda
He's an international hero with guts and huge balls to make decisions that other leaders can only fantasise about
I wish you were in Ukraine to say this, the rope has tightened your hands so you can walk on two legs, the day your legs are tighten you will speak well.
@@davidodurofrimpong2958 what?
It's crazy how a country did a complete turnaround and back again in like 10 years! Where I live literally NOTHING has changed in 10 years. Just thinking about this is insane for me!
Way????????
Okay so what I just listened to was the story of a patriot. He watched his nation fall apart, and then made it his life's mission to try and put it back together again. Then he wants to hold on to the old ideals and culture, And not lose russian identity. I get it. It's about preserving culture From his perspective.
You ask who he is?????! THE GREATEST LEADER OF OUR LIFETIME!!! Slava Russiji 💪🇷🇺
respect putin. he's world leader❤
Like they followed hitler the sheeps now follow putin 😂
Putin is a chess player
I love 💕🥰💕🥰 Putin and Russia Putin wins in the dream Ukraine is lost precious love to both Russia Putin wins and losses Ukraine hahaha 😂😂😂😂😂 love 💕🥰 god 🙏 everyone.
The Man of the century…the most powerful man in the world at the time..
Errrr.....
He also does not lie, cheat, take billion dollars bribes!!
П очень жаль что он всего этого не делает. Прожить жизнь и нечего даже вспомнить или рассказать о себе даже нечего. Обидно за главу
He changed Russia to good. Whatever he does, he's wise and on point, let him do it to 100 percent and more.
If you don't know him yet then you are too late.
Question? Which country creates so many wars in so many countries for own profit? Answer is obvious.
United States of America
US
LONG LIVE PRESIDENT VP
Talk about leadership, you gotta love Putin!
R u Russian
The man is hated the world over.
How about doing one on Who is George Bush?
Bush is criminal who staged 9/11 and started invading Afghanistan and then Iraq, who looted and looting, destroyed and destroying, killing millions,
After all Anglo Saxon filthy terrorists who steer hatred, always lies, the only terrorist nation who nuked other nation,
Putin is a smart man. He is a genuis. One of the greatest man and leader who ever lived! Long live Russia and president Putin ETERNALLY.
For sure
Considering what NATO did in Lybia, I feel sorry for the media propaganda. If Russia was weak like Lybia, it could have been a different story!
Russia has natural right to secure his international border ✔️✔️✔️✔️✔️✔️✔️✔️✔️✔️✔️
A good leader is the one who make himself an example of peace, love and God feariing.
😘🔥✌
Support up up!
Which is your god?
Thanks for the updates.
This is the smartest leader I have ever known.
If you really wanna know Putin, go look for Oliver Stone's interviews/documentary, to the Financial Times interview and to the mainstream american media interviews, even if the latter are a little disgusting.
Most of the commets come from people who come from certain countries and background....no surprise :)
And yours,also not surprising...
From fake profiles (russian trolls)
Propaganda anyone?
absolutely
Putin is the real machiavellian. Which for me is the quality of a great leader.
Yeh true psychopath, just what the world wants. Insane.
President V. Putin.
My President. My hero. I like your stance against USA, Britain and France. Viva my President.
Soon you may see him with different eyes. I just wish you are right Ask if he has anything to do with WEF.
Long live Russia and Putin
Long Live CHRIST The King
He is Empire Putin. And not a president. Respect for best leader ever
As evil as people say he is, his the lesser evil than all evil that doing all wreaks across the globe. Everyone has their own evil at plays, he is much better controlled than others. I’m saying this as an outsider. I’m always with my Russian brothers and sisters 🙏🏼
Lol you are sick. Слава 🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦
Foreign sources of information means: American Propaganda
Let's talk about bush, and why he's attacking iraq, sounds good huh...
Seeing the comments on this post made me realise how powerful are the corporate media in occidental countries
Me pergunto, até quando esse tipo de jornalismo falso se manterá de pé.
It was even worse in the spring. Ukrainians were told in the news that Russians are taking refugees to labor camps in Russia. And first of all, Ukraine is going through a filtration camp. The very name "filtration camp" for a Russian-speaking person creates an image of a German concentration camp with furnaces. I read the comments and was horrified, Ukrainians seriously discussed that they would be in labor camps as prisoners to work for free, to be slaves. All RUclips and Instagram with comments from Ukrainians about camps in Russia were. And I followed the news on Facebook. The Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation wrote about humanitarian corridors, for example, from Kiev. An hour later, the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine wrote that the Russians were lying, there was no humanitarian corridor. And so it has been many times. And you haven't seen yet how Ukrainians are running away from the military on the streets of Ukraine, in order to take a man to the military enlistment office, you need 3-4 military. They force men into the car, often fights. RUclips and Instagram won't even miss such videos. This has been happening for 3 weeks now.
People live in a bubble.
Simple : President of Russia
President of zombies
He is the man who destroyed the devil mission on earth.
I don't agree with the Russian invasion in Ukraine, and I truly believe that is an unjustified act, but the so-called Western world is no innocent at all... capitalism became a monster that plagued the whole world...
Do you prefer imperializm?
I support Russian act
Capitalism=freedom and opportunity
Honest reliable genuine free world leader Putin
Lol
Can't stop laughing.
And Biden?? Can you explain
Biden , George Bush , Tony Blair are consequences for not wearing condoms
Mother, Father and Russia son.
Putin's Victory ✌🏻
I'd like to see Al Jazeera do an article on the dictatorship in Qatar. Or perhaps an article about the thousands of migrant workers that died in inhumane conditions building world cup stadiums.
What dictatorship?
@@jamalakinade8175 Exactly keep listening to your favourite state sponsored media outlet. Did you vote for your leader? Simple question.
Putin sure is an interesting guy.. I was shocked to discover how much wealth he's accumulated over his political career.. I even made a vid about it over on my channel.. his Black Sea palace has to be seen to be believed!
I checked out your channel, it's really cool!
I agree 100 percent with you my friend, your video is awesome
I saw his video and it is really impressive. It's a practically incalculable fortune. 🤑🤑
100% agreed , putin is a great character
Your channel is so cool and i totaly agree with you my friend
Oligarchs, “were businessmen..” that’s a questionable term.
when you gona make documentary about NATO , USA and EU?Just asking.
this is exactly what Putin wants: look at the others, always their fault. Go fight for him He still needs some soldier.
@@jeffwood5614 no, this is exactly what CIA wants for you: look at Putin, everything is his fault, don"t look at us while we are running around the world killing people and ruining their countries.
@@klarachiamarsi5935 let's do war all over the world because the USA is running around the word killing people??? You should better join Putin for the "good fight" against the CIA. At least the CIA informed us that Putin will invade and helped us to prepare better protection for peaceful & democratic states. A political system for free speech and good economy of which Putin is so jealous. Putins economy is corrupt, his military action are a joke, he even kills his own people. After some weeks in Ukraine more Russian were killed than in the entire Afghanistan war.
There are lots of injustices in world politics
To be brutally honest, today most of the countries leaders has seen cold war era, some of them might also were hold positions in their governments then but there's no one like Vladimir Putin. Because, not only Putin had actively did his duties under his intelligence organization then, KGB but also closely observed the peoples mindsets, political/ economic views, desires & handled very risky sensitive tasks for Soviet Union. So, in this modern world today there is not a single states man who can think to over smart Putin or even come close to it and that's because of his enormous experiences, skills and qualifications. I am not praising Putin here, just telling the facts which actually matters when it comes to Vladimir Putin. If we see how he managed Russia's economic crisis after the collapse of Soviet Union and how he handled with iron fist to control Russia's internal mafia problems and terrorism and how he successfully again put Russia's position in the world politics; these deeds clearly shows he isn't a ordinary leader but much more.
That is a bitter and brutal Truth & Facts which western are not ready to acknowledge or accept.
The one who resist nato arrogance !
The one who kills innocents
Yes USA and NATO in middle east
The man who defied the almighty US/NATO!
I agree with you and I'm from the West
This report says more about this "reporter" and Al Jazeera than it says about Vladimir Putin.
We are tired of your lectures, your indoctrination and your dogma!!!! The world is with Putin....No matter what you say....
That right there is a world leader.... tested, intelligent, measured emotionally and psychologically. Unlike some of these current leaders that are just trying to keep up a wreckless war machine. Some people hate the fact that he is a better leader, than their leaders will ever be.
Wish you were in Ukraine to speak like this.
From a broad spectrum, Putin's behavior could also be more shaped by the unconscious deep rooted arrogance, aggression, and double standards of the West in managing different geopolitical affairs across the globe.
E.g. Vietnam, Iraq, Libya, Yugoslavia, Afghanistan, Ukraine, Gaza ... unfortunately a very long sequence of unpunished disasters and shame.
Thank you for this insight.
He's a leader and a king
And you have no brain
He is selfish cheater and showman

Man love his country and protect interest of his people.what more do you from a president.
Hahaha
Man literally mass murders his own countrymen and have been stealing Russia's wealth for 23 years. You have a very strange definition of "love" of one's country.
Long life for PUTIN !!
The people in Crimea wanted Russia and so do Donbass and Luhansk. Don't they deserve freedom or is it only the US and NATO that determines those who get freedom.
talk about your own country first
The man the myth the legend..
Putin is the man who stood up to Western hegemony and is succeeding. Russia and the world need leaders like him.
