So glad I saw the film 'Ukraine on fire'. For too long have I gone along with the 'Russia bad West good' narrative. Well no more. And if I wasn't convinced before that Sweden and Finland joining NATO was a good idea then now I think it's an absolutely terrible idea.
Good that there are still smart people in the west.After 15 years in the US and having lived in Russia for 10 all I can say western freedom is an illusion,freedom of speech non-existant,it's an empire built on lies and I hate the fact I used to love it.
*Putin is ONLY interested in improving his personal net worth! Putin admitted to Elon Musk (they talk once a week) that Putins net worth is over $400 Billion! Most of this money come from selling Russian oil, gas and metals resources in under the table deals. PUTIN IS A MAFIA BOSS and he has no relevant political opinion beyond that!*💣💣💣💣💣
"Nato has no allies...only vassals." He totally nailed it.
This is the way anglosaxons are not capable to think, their richness of their countries comes from just economic expoitation or war crimes of their elite political movements and themselves believed that it is correct anr right, suddenly comes somebody and say it unpleasantly, openly to face, it is vassal and hypocracy.
@Dr. Valentin Narcisse Atleast PUTIN talks bout whatever you ask. Russia is not a dictatorship. But for West, Putin is misunderstood, that guy wants to talk to his enemies and friends bout making things better..
@@greentransfer135 Reject Russia, return to Soviet
@@waddysoap4868 hey lenin.... Your body Stinky like Pharaoh
The fact he calls them vassals should reveal his imperialist motives, NATO has no vassals. Sounds like Putin, and you misunderstand democracy
I love it when the Western Media cannot have its way on what the people they interview want them to say. I mean they are use in forcing an answer they want.
Mr. Stone on CBS This Morning is a classic example. Charlie Rose is shaking with rage.
true.. You can literally see how uncomfortable he gets in the end when he doesn't give a reply to Olivers advice and just thanks him for the interview.

Oliver’s Putin interviews should be mandatory viewing for any student studying political science or journalism. They are fantastic for anyone interested in hearing the Russian point of view.

I listened to them and got even more aware of the danger, both regarding Putin and people like Oliver Stone (who I used to respect re Central America). In the world there is a clear recrudescence of authoritarian politics: not only Trump or Putin (where bay Putin already had created his one party government with all opposition either excluded or in prison) but also LePen, Farage, The German AfD , Modi etc. and people like Stone although themselves no authoritarian right wingers go along with it or do not see it.
There are alot of people who think Stone is anti American. I disagree, how are we to fix our mistakes if we just ignore them . We call Russia out for every single thing that we do ourselves. There is no justification for bad behavior. If the world would work together it would be a better place .
Stone knows what time it is. I recently watched Prof John Mearscheimer’s 2014 lecture on how the west created the breakdown of Ukraine/Russia relations (also on YT) and it put Putin’s POV here in perspective.
@@maggie7843 yes I have seen this also . It is not talked about but the US and the west treated Russia as a second rate nation after it dissolved the Soviet Union . Russia tried to join the EU and Nato and expand trade with the west and was denied . I think the world would have benefited from all of this .
Sometimes I just think they want a boggie man to blame for the problems they create . Most people know nothing about Russia or Putin except the propaganda .
I find it interesting they still refer to him and his country as communist. Russia has changed much over the past 100 years .
Your country wont know true democracy while spending money is seen as a form of speech. That ruling is the death of your democracy.
Stone goes by the adage 'there is a sucker born every minute.'
@@ShaffafAhmed I'm ot even sure what they mean by democracy anymore. It use to mean everyone gets to vote , even the stupid ones .
Our biggest problem now the stupid ones we elect to government, have you seen our latest president.
America's interest is not necessarily Europe...this is fact so wake-up people..
get rid of US Army that's stationed in EU since ww2 and maybe than you be ready to do something on your own, until than you're occupied just like japan!
They don't misunderstand him. They are purposely going after him.
Very few media wants to interview Oliver because more people will enlighten .
Just finished watching this excellent 4 part documentary. I only wish every American could view it with an open mind. I applaud Oliver Stone for his bravery in a time of cowardice and group think.

I watched the full series some weeks ago. Absolutely fascinating to get a different and hopefully more objective take on Putin.
Oliver is a great guy, no any doubt

I got even more aware of the anti-democratic danger. Not only Putin, also people like Orban, Trump and Bolsonaro.
@@ollifrank6255 I do think Putin is outrageously demonised by the "West". It strikes me that The USA needs a foreign adversary - a bogeyman - in order to justify operating NATO. The Cold War ended decades ago with the collapse of The Soviet Union. Modern Russia is nothing like Soviet era Russia.
Not more objective but Putin's view, as Stone says
This hasn't aged very well
This didn’t age well
“Americas interests are not Europes interests” 4 years later we have this diabolical situation in Ukraine
I agree that Europe's interest are not Americans interest when the other countries are not financially or economically worthless for America. Why do they foment war? So they get rich selling to both sides. Who killed those in 9/11. Most people don't know the real culprit. What was written in those cards given to top officials during the Poppy Bush funerals? I am not sure. I was not given one.

Best interview I've ever seen with Putin. Oliver Stone nailed it. Brilliantly done.
Stone didn't "nail it." Putin nailed him.

@@joeyfotofr I get it you don't like Putin. I'm not his biggest fan either but I do find him to be an interesting person. I guess in a sense Putin was being charming to stone because it's all part of his act as bieng western friendly.
@@ddssddga I get that. I made the photographs for a book on Ed Kemper, who is also a fascinating serial-killer but Kemp did not just start WW III or take unlock the nuclear nightmare by threatening to use nuclear weapons and, therefore, abandoning the restraint of MAD (Mutually Assured Destruction) for all time. That may send up killing our children... for the delusions of a psychopath... unless some Russian patriots stop him. If you think I'm exaggerating that possibility, Oliver Stone's gullibility has worked its magic.
In a time and place of lies, telling the truth is a revolutionary act
Except that is not what is happening here. Stone is simply encouraging dishonesty.

America’s interests are NOT Europe’s interest.
Wow, it's good to see this on a mainstream outlet with over million views. He addresses well the hypocrisy of the U.S. and challenges us to actually think critically instead of emotionally reacting - which is what all the major news outlets want us to do. Bravo Oliver Stone!
It was 4 years ago.
His documentary called Ukraine on Fire was pulled off RUclips on first day of release. It's now uploaded on Rumble. Makes you wonder why they don't want people to see it.
Oliver Stone loves authoritarian leaders, especially those condemned by the West. Unfortunately, his biased approach makes his doumentaries nither deep nor prophetic.
Some people are excited now with his analysis of the causes of Russian invasion of Ukraine and take his theses for TRUTH revealed. For those, if they are really interested in facts, I’ve got a proposition. Watch another Stone’s documentary "Mi amigo Hugo" and then check Venezuela’s prosperity now, after 20 years of communist’s regime. And draw conclusions.
@@puidemare2337 If you know anything about the history of the region you will know that even the first 20 minutes of Ukraine on fire is utterly skewed in favor or Russia. And stop it with your persecution complex, you can find ukraine on fire here, on youtube, right now: ruclips.net/video/pKcmNGvaDUs/видео.html
@puidemare2337 Ukraine on fire is the truth this is why it was pulled. The Putin interviews should be on a mainstream news channel

" It's time we take a look at ourselves".....Is the real terrorist money" well said Mr Stone
Putin skims money from his military budget. What’s your point?
This is empathy. You try to understand another's point of view. Not to agree or disagree. More of this in the world please.
Yes
you nailed it mate we need more compassion for our fellow human being
yes. its amazing that some people think it is patriotic or loyal to not consider another point of view. If you can't undestand the other side, there is no hope of negotiation or peace. It's a 'my way or the highway' attitude which makes you an extremist, a bully, intolerant.
Empathy doesn't work with psychopathic Putin who is proved (waging wars against innocent people) to be incapable of empathy.
I’m an Empath, but not to murders like Putin.
The US doesn't misunderstand Putin. They just do not care. The military industrial complex has to make money.
Only the American Democrats don't care about Putin. But normal people in the USA most certainly DO care about Putin. Two entirely different sorts of people.
If Trump were still president, this invasion into Ukraine would surely have NEVER occurred. Biden is threat to the USA. But he's far too stupid to know it.
In fact, it's more accurate to say that Biden is FAR more of a threat to his own nation than Russia ever was.
The sad fact is that the will of the citizens of the USA is NOT being carried out. But the will of Putin most certainly is. Open your eyes, people. Open your eyes.
@@scotthullinger4684 ahh yes, trump, the guy who wanted to ditch nato and traded love letters with n Korea. That guy? The guy who said what Russia was doing was smart right before the invasion? The guy who looked up to Putin? They guy who still to this day thinks he won the election and surrounded himself with a crackhead pillow salesman? Jesus Christ man, you are pretty damn delusional.
@@scotthullinger4684 trump and putin is the same thing
@@yupperdude1 from Russia's point of view it is smart. With the United States tolerate China going to Mexico and giving them weapons and training on how to take over the United States. Would the United States not care if they were going to establish military base let's say in Tijuana. Would the United States not have an issue with the bricks Nations moving into North America. Would the United States not have a problem with continued sanctions over and over by the United States commits the same atrocities but only worse. The United States has killed over 2 million people in the last 20 years in Afghanistan, Iraq, Libya and Syria and are running a proxy war with Saudi Arabia killing thousands of people in Yemen against Iran. You might want to wake up you may want to see what's going on. This entire situation in Ukraine is because Biden when he was vice president and others did a coup of the democratically elected president to put in a puppet who was a Neo-Nazi. That is 100% fact easily verifiable

That's the difference between Hollywood and Oliver. He is true to the character without influencing or doctoring the individual. That's extremely important when portraying a character in historical documentaries.

@@jmag579 Still better than anyone you have in power in the us
1. US invasion of Iraq in 1991 and 2003.
2. US creation of terrorists in Afghanistan in the 70s
3. US meddling in the internal affairs of every single country including most of the South American countries.
4. US blocking of Cuba - Funny how you talk about Ukraine and forget to say what US did to Cuba.
5. US support to Saudi's Saud family.
6. US meddling in the affairs of Iran when Iran asked for the British petroleum oligarchs to leave the country who were hell bent on plundering the national assets of Iran. US's role in the overthrowing of the legitimate democratically elected government and later its support to that corrupt Shah.
7. US's support to the terrorists who are hell bent on throwing out Asad for the simple reason that he is a Shia and under who's regime Shias/Sunnis/Christians/Atheists live in a secular country whom the Islamist hate. All this because the US and its Saudi/Qatar buddies want to build an oil/gas pipeline to Europe sidelining Russia.
8. US's support of Pakistan's Islamist army knowing very well that Pakistan plays a double game in Afghanistan where it supports the Taliban and pretends to fight against them while shamelessly giving shelter to the Haqqani's and other terrorists group who are fighting against the secular Northern Afghanistanis.
9. You are talking about Ukraine - Have some shame man. The US had a secret pact with Russia where they promised that Nato wouldn't expand its influence towards the East and what did the US/Europe do - throw out a legitimate government in Ukraine, support the rebels, promise $10 billion bail out of Ukraine knowing very well that Russia had so far supplied free petrol/gas to Ukraine worth more than $100 billion dollar. If Russia had done the same to US in a Central American country, your regime would have gone bonkers.

@@moocorp4574 How nice of you to come from an alternate reality. To be able to determine what would've happened. In reality this has been hashed out many times before. While nobody can definitively state with any due accuracy in a past tense strictly hypothetical scenario. The war would've most likely been prolonged without the USA's involvement. The USSR would've taken the majority of mainland Europe for itself. With or without the lend lease program. Much of the USA's role in the European theatre is overly exaggerated. The history is after all written by the western survivors of the victors namely the USA. No different than how other countries handle historical context via distortions.

Did not age well. Oliver Stone is a jackass.
2:50 Point of linguistic logic. Just because the word "hacking" is most associated with "hacking a computer" does not mean that the phrase "hacking an election" means "hacking the computers of that election". The word "hacking" means gaining unauthorized access to some kind of system and manipulating it in a way that it should not be. If, in this case, the system is an election, then "hacking the election" means any kind of unauthorized interference in the legitimate and recognised processes of an election, by whatever means.
Stone was a far better interview back when making fictional films. Following the pivot to documentary, sadly came an unquenchable urge to scold interviewer and audience.
Yes, but if Russia hacked the 2017 elections they did it via hacking computers since they are outside of US, they didn't hack it by inserting people in the system. It was all done via computers.

I honestly dont think Oliver Stone is working for them . Hes not a politiciain he does not have political friends. Hes not affiliated with any news organization or any other group . He is an independant film maker as he has been for years. Thats probably why Putin trusted him to do these interviews.
Stone also did interviews with most of the leaders of the Latin American countries a few years ago even Fidel Castro.
Look it up on youtube its unbiased and facsinating

No, I do not think you have judged this correctly. If Stone is controversial and brings up views that make FT readers uncomfortable, that just makes it a better interview. I think that the interviewer, who did a good job, had to deal with two issues. Firstly, a shortage of time: He needed to ask the key questions quickly and get a succinct response. Secondly, Stone is not particularly articulate. Or, if he is, he hides it very well. He tended to respond to a straight question with fustian. Hence the need to move the conversation on.

False, he got taken to task big time over his depiction of Turkey in that film. The film was a work of fiction based on true events and was, at the time, labelled as sensationalist racism.

Well said.
He has Oliver Stone sitting in front of him, who has hours of personal interviews with Putin and all he could say was “uh- huh, uh-huh, ok, ok, uh-huh”. He didn’t ask one intelligent question.

Yea I wonder if Oliver Stone still thinks the US misunderstands Putin
Yeah, this didn’t age well…
He does, and I think he’s still correct.
He did a interview recently on the PBD podcast
I think we have to get used to the idea of multiple (and sometimes contradicting) truths.
Putin can have legitimate security concerns, and have a useful perspective on say Nato development and the Arab Spring, while at the same time being an autocrat who has an interest in sabotaging liberal democracies, and having become overconfident in his ability to use violence, has now unleashed something in Ukraine he cannot put back.
It's possible for Ukraine to be a nation with a problematic history of corruption, and troubling far-right groups (like almost any country, mind you), and also be a country of innocent people who do not deserve the hell they are going through now.
We can be both critical and empathetic.
It's possible that even if the US was a truly well-meaning and responsible world leader they can still do incredible damage by spreading their influence around the world.
Oliver Stone can be a smart person who puts his finger on important points, while at the same time having the conspirialist tendency to fit all the problems he sees in the same narrative.

Stone did a good job letting Putin share his perspective, some of which was valid, some of which was not. But the vast, vast majority of my countrymen are incapable of examining objectively the thing they're being told to blindly hate.
Imagine thinking there is objectivity for a dictator that not even his own people support. Clowns like you are what's wrong with countries in the west, you take in so much information that you think everything is a conspiracy theory. Just use your brain for 2 fking minutes and think for yourself, is a country with a dictator good for their people or the world in general, or is a free open country where people can vote in their leader which they respect and support their views better. You speak from a place of safety and freedom typing this nonsense to be objective for a man that throws people in jail who protest in his country and gets news journalist assisanited who don't follow his agenda. Spoiled is what most people in free countries are so much so that they say nonsense to support dictators smh. I didn't need to news station or anyone in the world to tell me to never support a dictator it's just fking common sense if you live in a free country that you would NEVER want that for you or any other country. And before you say ima leftist for having a brain and coming up with my own conclusions that have nothing to do with the news but everything to do with never supporting any dictator, I would have voted for trump because I'm able to see through the medias lies. But on this you weirdos are just reaching and turning everything into a conspiracy theory so much so you legit support a dictator you clown.
Let me get this right. Like Oliver Stone, you too are in the camp that believes that Putin is misunderstood. Despite the massive and indiscriminate bombing of Ukrainian cities, killing scores of innocent civilians. Despite him throwing his own citizen in prison for 15 years for disagreeing with him. Deep down, he is the good guy. And the rest of us are to blame for what is happening in Ukraine. Not him. He is just misunderstood. Is that what you are peddling?
Who cares if he is a dictator? Thats for his people to resolve. Most free country’s fought to gain that freedom amongst themselves.
This video is 4years old and putin says within the first few minutes nato is just a tool for America to use so a nato country close to him would have all sorts of American inspired/funded military equipment on his door step and he would be against it.

I hate to burst your bubble, but Ukraine never applied to become a NATO member and neither were they under consideration for it.
Furthermore, NATO is a defensive pact. The idea is that if an outsider attacks you, all other NATO members will come to your defense. All of Russia's neighbors that have joined NATO are not getting invaded by Russia and their cities turned to rubble. I'll let you figure out why that is and if it was a good idea for those countries to join NATO when they did.

Fell on deaf ears sadly. The last thing the US establishment would tolerate would be a United Europe. They are prepared to risk the eradication of their own civilians to prevent it, as they no doubt have well stocked nuclear shelters and the ability to travel to and inhabit the equatorial region to wait out the long winter after the dust settles.

The ban of Jehovah's Witnesses, the totalitarian cult that killed hundreds in Russia over thirty years, and thousands around the globe thanks to their insane policies that prohibit blood transfusion, that broke apart thousands of families in Russia, is great news for democracy as it is literally the will of the people.
