Putin's famous Munich Speech 2007
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 18 ноя 2015
- Vladimir Putin's landmark speech on February 10th 2007 at 43rd Munich Security Conference where he openly criticized the US for its striving for a unipolar world, its unrestrained use of force and its disdain for international law. For the first time since the end of the Cold War he made clear that Russia does not intend to fit in this kind of world order. Despite his criticism, Putin didn't seek confrontation but called for a new partnership on a fair basis.The Western mainstream media, however, distorted his speech and portrayed it as a malicious attack. Watch and judge for yourself.
The most important speech of our time, ignored by the ignorants
True
yup, and now Putin and Russia is going to many all these arrogant fools pay a dear price for not listening to his warning, diplomacy and requests. Putin tried, but the west chose the hard way.
I've always considered Mr. Putin as a straightforward man. Best president ever!
Haha one year later russia invaded Georgia. Brice Staates are still shitty. 2014 He took crimea. Now he is losing many soldiers in Ukraine and Finland and Sweden joined Nato
We get it. You love dictators.
Of course they weren't listening. Look who was in the audience. Arrogance personified!
Why should we listen a new Hitler ?
Ya, you can see the sneering and disdainful look on John McCain's face.
Well they do listen now…
FSB rossii rf is a terror organization and Putin is a FSB thug/terrorizirovat'. Putin is a loser: First he lost Sweden and Finland to NATO and now he will lose Ukraine to EU. Poor economy in Russia is due to the corrupt dictator Putin
Putin is the most important leader in the world. Thats why US wants to eliminate him

Few days ago Putin, answering the question, "What would you say to yourself sample of 2000-th?", said: "I would recommend to myself not to be so naive in relationships with our "western partners".
he clearly had high hopes that that eastern Europe was up for graps without the west saying no go. Didn't work out and his is now stuck in Ukraine, in the process causing Nato to grow and be even stronger than before...all of which was something he tried to prevent cause of his baseless cold war minded paranoia. He will go down in history as a president who's biggest gamble failed miserably, causing hundred of thousands of lives in the process. When putin dies/gets replaced, you can be 100% sure russia will be in a worse state than when he started as a president.
So-called “partners” are simply criminals!!! Putin is true leader!!!!! Election is coming, you bet!
He then proceeded to immediately be naive with the west, hold back his forces and ask for negotiations.

This was 3 years after Putin tried to poison pro EU presidential candidate Viktor Yushchenko during the 2004 elections in Ukraine. Who won that election and was president of Ukraine during this speech of Putin.
I wonder why Ukraine wanted to shift away from Russian involvement and why relations were so bad.. Why o why
Russia wants peace and friendship, it always has. Don't listen to propaganda. I'm from Ukraine, if that's the case. There is a war now, but there is an understanding of its causes
Yeah. Imagine how millions of Russian people feel being shit on for decades by the west.
Вот именно! Да мы в Россиии так знали и уже слышали всё что в интервью Карлсона было сказано нашим президентом. Путин всю дорогу говорит это. Он с самого начала хотел и делал всё для добрых отношений и сотрудничества с Западом и Европой. Украину с 90-х голов готовили США как оружие против Российскоц Федерации, спонсировало сепаратистов и нацистов и оппозицию законной власти в Украине.

Very interesting thing: Russian army was leaving Georgia in an effort to increase dialogue and trust between Russia and US and the year after that, in 2008, Sakashvili in Georgia ordered to attack Abkhazia and South Ossetia.
Of course the decision was backed by NATO when Prime minister Putin was in China and the President was Medvedev.
They thought that wouldn’t have reacted. They were wrong
This also had caught my eye, didn't know they were reducing their military presence in Georgia back then. Now it all makes much more sense.
Russia was occupying parts of Georgia and Moldova at this point already.
This is wrong information, russia did not leave any army, instead since 2007 they were arming separatists and training their army to invade us, they built bases in advance and the separatists invaded us, we had to react and protect our lands and after that russia joined in our civil war and occupied 20% of our territories
It was their plan all along, to lead to this. Just read Extending Russia by rand

Putin was so naive, he thought he could influence those warmongers by his speech!
I think, this speech was also meant for the world. It brought him a lot of respect in the Global South.
Во-первых его больше туда не приглашали. 😂 А это значит что на Западе все испугались.
Во-вторых страны Азии и Африки, и даже Южной Америки всё это помнят. Особенно Китай. Китай любит далекоидущие планы.
I'm afraid I have to disagree. Putin was not naive; on the contrary, he was a wise and patient world-class statesman. He gave "those warmongers" the benefit of the doubt and time to self-reflect. At the time of this speech, Putin already understood that "those warmongers" were too narrow-minded, blinded by greed, and not capable of putting aside their world's hegemonic ambition, no matter how many people they killed in the process. Putin knew then that he had no choice but to protect Russia's interests militarily.
Today, hundreds of thousands of Ukrainian and Russian young men are dead. The so-called "Collective West," aka "those warmongers," has lost its marbles or is demented. Russia is winning military and economically. China is laughing on its way to the bank, and the world may be on the brink of nuclear annihilation.

@@henryseidel5469 I think for about 7-8 years of his presidency Putin really wanted to be accepted into the company of western leaders as equal. And he deserved that after bringing Russia back from ashes. I remember that time.
After 2008 he realised that he is on his own and Russia and the west will never be friends, no matter how much he wanted.
And the US would never allow Europe and Russia be too close together, too much of a power.
@@Faceless166 Indeed you are right. The great philosophy of freedom and free trade is only meant to work to the benefit of the US - with their European poodles acting like vasalls. Russia with its enormous resources would have become a tremendous competitor to the US. Yet I am afraid Asia will become the leading power in the future - with Russia's resources, Chinese workpower, India's knowhow and a lot of other, smaller countries cooperating with them, such as Kazachstan, Mongolia and the former Soviet republics.
@@Faceless166 That is bad for business. Russia Joining NATO will mean no business for arms dealers and manufacturers. Do you think the strong lobby will allow it?

@@July-zm8bp He talks about everything that is relevant to what is happening in Ukraine yes, and the reason why Russia is involved in Ukraine right now. Everything you won't hear from the mainstream. You might also find it interesting to look up the NATO Bucharest Summit Declaration, 2008, particularly point 23 which mentions Ukraine.

@@DangerousDavies2008 Maybe if you learnt some history, you would realise how important it is. Why do you think the West is reacting to this in the way that it is? Because they are relying on the *fact* that most people are ignorant of history, and believe that the current situation arose in the last couple of months. When in actuality it goes back many decades, even further then this video
I just watched the speech again, looking for the shot where the American delegates were openly laughing at him (could not find it). But indeed, what Nutsbutdum says in his comment a year ago: Putin had quite a clear vision on the future, the unipolar world is changing and the war in Ukraine makes it more than clear that America does not rule the world anymore like it used to do. And Putin was right that the Americans uses force wherever it believes it should. I find it quite bold of Putin to openly criticize the USA in a respectful way as he did with this speech.

@@rosebronikowski2022 My thoughts exactly!
This is the reference point that explains the problems we are experiencing today.
Всё верно! Он говорил, но никто его не слушал.
For all his period of ruling his Tzardom, he always pointed on bad things that are relevant to his own actions. Now he is "demilitarizing" an already weak country, which had no threads to Russia, and "denazifying" smaller neighbors by using Nazi propaganda methods, rhetorics, and absurd skewing and stretching the historical nonsense written in chauvinistic empire and USSR periods.
In his speech, he cared only about his plans to rule till the death and do the usual empire stuff - bullying and taking over neighbor territories. He started with the Chechen republic of Ichkeria which was already acknowledged by Russia - yet they made provocations and started another "campaign" killing his mentioned hundreds of thousands of people and placing terrorists on the throne of the territory which is not under the Kremlin's control - they reconstructed medieval relationships like they were between Tzardom and Cossacks. Chechens are vassals, who live as they want, but pay with their meat when needed. Russia politically is back in the 16th century, but in many areas where still no gas pipes and sewage - they are also physically in medeval. It is degrading...and fast. And he talks like that only because he has nukes - otherwise, this is mostly an unpopulated state with a population smaller than Nigeria with the same development level.
He refuses to care about the development of the country. He has his "gas station", the covering gang, people silenced - everything sorted.
All his rhetorics are bout other reasons for their problems. And people grew on this culture of blaming everyone except themselves. What can You expect, except criminality of mentality in a huge part of the population?
That is the result of his rule.

This speech by Putin corresponds to JFK's Peace Speech at the American University in June 1963 in terms of its gravitas, foresight, perception and historical significance. It's a pity "The West" did not heed his words and had they done so we - and the US in particular - would not be in the sorry mess we are in today in Ukraine.
I got the same feeling to!
And elsewhere; internationally and domestically; President Putin actually loves America
R I G H T !! That is what I am thinking of, too, but unfortunately American politicians behave like some short sighted peanut vendors these days. I remember the time when Eisenhower and Stalin were standing side by side on the Cremlin wall with each one representing his own country to the benefit of the entire world.
The worst thing is that the Americans pushed Russia into the arms of China and friendship with Iran. After all, everything could have been completely different. It’s a pity! The real danger for the USA is China
And it seems that ever since this speech the US wishes he ended his presidency the same way JFK did. Hopefully not
US media would say that this is Fake 😂
German mainstream media (Spiegel, BILD, Zeit, ZDF or ARD) would tell us not to listen to it because everything has been said before and therefore is irrelevant, like they all did with the Tucker Carlson interview.

This speech could have changed the world. But it did not. The interesting part of strengthening the UN, global trade, and fighting poverty. Nothing has worked because the world moved in the wrong direction.

Because the US and UK forced the world to move in the wrong direction.
because it has always been moving towards a concentration of power in the hands of sociopaths. sometimes they failed to get very far. this situation we are in right now is the furthest they have ever got. we are on the precipice of a worldwide adoption of centralised digital currency and social credit scores.

Russia has always looked for cooperation and a fair balance of power, a world where NATO and the Western countries could see Russia not as a friend, definitely not as enemy, but rather as a sovereign state. Nato, sadly, chose the blackmail, the lie, the war.
Россия с 2001 по 2012 пыталась сама вступить в НАТО , Путин перевозил технику нато из Европы в Афганистан . это все показуха , если бы США хотели остановить Путина то как и с Израилем подогнали бы авианосцы , дали бы украине отличное оружие , прислали армию как боролись с ползучим СССР во Вьетнаме, Кореи, Афганистане, кубе ... США выгодна Россия , россияне инвестируют в недвижимость США и ЕС, в айфоны, макбуки, военное оборудование, газовое оборудование , нефтяное. В спецтехнику , в моторы каминс , в детали мотора например поршни федерал могул , в драгоценности, яхтостроение . странам развитым выгодны диктаторы с дешевыми ресурсами и любящими роскошь . африканские диктаторы десятилетия продавали соотечественников по миру за оружие, драгоценности, дурь, одежду, заморскую пищу . Пока диктатор выгоден его не трогаю, боготворят . Россия же дружит с Ираном , талибами , палестинцами ХАМАС , Сирией , КНДР , отсталыми странами Африки , Турцией где диктатор реваншист сидит на двух стульях

@@tseuren123 what about this: "Resentment that simmered at the continued expansion of NATO, and America's plans to site parts of its missile defences in the Czech Republic and Poland, then boiled over after the announcement at NATO's summit in Bucharest in April that both Georgia and Ukraine could one day join the alliance, albeit only when they were ready. Both Russia and Georgia were left itching for a fight" - The Economist
@@dmitriyrastorguev5640 resentment is a cause for war?
@@tseuren123 There was no "preparation for invasion" of any country. Preparations of self-defense, sure---which by the way is another truth he underlined when he insisted that "no one feels safe" in the unipolar world. Russia responded militarily to an attack by Georgia, which was entirely a) legal and b) expected---you would probably defend yourself too if attacked. What remains remarkable to me ---especially when compared to actions another superpower has accustomed us to---was the restraint and intelligence of the response: it was over in a a matter of days, with very few casualties, effectively ended the civil war and the senseless loss of life that had been plaguing Georgians for years, and then... the Russians just LEFT (haha some invasion!) Not only did they leave, they DISMANTLED their old Soviet military bases that still remained in Georgia. So essentially they came, saw, ushered in peace, disarmed and left Georgia to its free elections (and US-trained president Sakashvili ). Compared to aggressions of choice (not defensive) which flout international law (Kosovo) to instigate and extend conflict (Iraq, Syria, Afghanistan... ), only to end in expropriations and installation of puppet regimes and military bases (largest in Europe, in the case of Kosovo), I wonder which better illustrates for you an attachment to "peace, rule of law and prosperity" for all
As mentioned in Putin's speech, we made promises that NATO would not expand beyond the border of the new united Germany, and also at the Minsk accords that NATO would not expand eastwards.
These promises were blatently disregarded, causing Russia to have well founded and justifiable security concerns, leading to a complete breakdown in trust with the West.
The outbreak of the war in Ukriane was predictable. NATO paved the way for this war. The organisation that we put our faith and trust in to keep peace in Europe has failed us all.
👍🏻
Well said
НАТО создавалось не для сохранения мира, а для продвижения оккупации Европы и продвижения продаж американского оружия. Это интересы оружейных корпораций, а не мирных граждан.
none of it is well founded. As if Ukraine with Nato would attack russia or something completely crazy. Baseless paranoia, he clearly never got out of the cold war while the rest of the world moved on. putin is a murderer, a murderer of his own people.
Bush promised he wouldn't expand NATO. Bush put nothing in writing, so every other president is free to do as he pleases. Maybe the Russians forget or something. It a huge mistake by the Russians for sure not to put it on paper. Can't blame a president 20 years later from a different political party.

One of the few politicians who stay consistent over such a long period of time. He's the one who wanted to join the Western alliances after the fall of the Soviet Union. Why did we say no ?
We're reaping what we sown. The US has always wanted a total win against Russia, they never moved on from the Cold War. They cannot tolerate any form of counterpower, they want that unipolar world with the US at its helm. The current war in Ukraine could be over tomorrow if the US were serious about it and about peace. But they keep fueling this war, at the expense of Ukrainian lives and cities. And if it goes on, they'll throw Europeans into the mix.

But I wouldn't say Putin is anti-Europe, he's just against what the EU has become.
If EU was what it claims wanting to become, which is a real European alliance that could compete with China and the United States, then I'm sure Russia would be all for joining such a thing.
But right now the EU is just an American administration, so there's no point. It would just act as a cancer that would seek to destroy Russia from the inside.
The EU would be so competitive if it pursued such a goal. Having the military might of Russia coupled with their natural energy supply, it would be a great asset for such a union. But alas, EU politicians sold us to foreign powers for a quick buck.
@@Niitroxyde yeah nice rebuttal, I rest my case
I feel that he is always sending messages and trying to have dialogue with the US and EU but no one listening nor treat Russia with respect. What he said is relevant to what happening today.

Russia was left with no other choice. The enemy was already at their borders training, financing and equiping an entire ukrainian army since 2014 (that's an official statement made by a US military official, Col. Douglas McGregor). Remember that Angela Merkel herself recently confessed that Ukraine (in other words, the West) never had the intention of respecting the Minsk Agreements.
@@democratictotalitariansoci1462, when the enemy deploys anti-air systems too close to your own borders, it shortens the success rate of your own attempts to strike back the real enemy (which would be too far, in that case). In other words, it is a concret threat to Russia's security (something Putin has been warning for more than a decade). NATO's expansion is a scenario where only Russia loses and no military super power in the world would allow the enemy to advance towards its own borders so bluntly. Ask if the US would allow the CSTO to incorporate Mexico. They wouldn't.
Also, going back to the historical context is important: before the end of the Warsaw Pact, Secretary of State James Baker clearly promissed Gorbachev that NATO wouldn't expand towards Russia. "Not one inch eastward" where his words. NATO broke such promise many times with its multiple expansion waves, but the mainstream media will NEVER tell yout that, of course.
@@alexandervolgzangief6759 maybe, except that Nato was never a Russian enemy, nor it endangered its teritory.

He is not honest, and is a manipulator.
Putin talks about Russian interests being ignored and how NATO has expanded. The thing you people forget is that countries desired to join NATO and did so because of Russia's historical tendencies. Countries like Poland and Czechia wanted so much to join NATO that their leaders basically threatened to travel to the US and campaign for the Republican Party to their respective diasporas, to pressure Bill Clinton and the US government, which was AGAINST the integration of these countries into NATO. Ask yourselves why these countries wanted to join NATO. Why? Because Russia and eventually the USSR would force these states to join it directly or as puppets, and these countries were violently oppressed for decades, or in the case of Poland, over a century.
Russia even had the opportunity to integrate with the West and join it. Why did they refuse? "George Robertson, a former Labour defence secretary who led NATO between 1999 and 2003, said Putin made it clear at their first meeting that he wanted Russia to be part of western Europe. “They wanted to be part of that secure, stable prosperous west that Russia was out of at the time,” he said. The Labour peer recalled an early meeting with Putin, who became Russian president in 2000. “Putin said: ‘When are you going to invite us to join Nato?’ And [Robertson] said: ‘Well, we don’t invite people to join Nato, they apply to join Nato.’ And he said: ‘Well, we’re not standing in line with a lot of countries that don’t matter.’” Russia, as it always has, has not viewed other countries as equal to it, and has refused to take their interests or decisions into account, and refused to follow the protocol all countries have to follow to join NATO.
Russia's invasion is not justified in any way, and is itself a product of Russia's own behavior. The war started because Russia, as always, does not take into account the right of countries to determine their foreign policies and futures, just like Russia denied Ukraine its right to have a revolution and remove their corrupt head of state that went against their wishes for increased ties to the EU. Had Russia offered attractive alternatives to Western integration, respected Ukrainian territorial integrity, and respected Ukraine's sovereignty, none of this would have happened. Countries join NATO because Russia makes joining NATO attractive, a and being neutral unattractive. Before Ukraine was attacked, it did not want to join NATO, and could not join NATO. The population was divided and the majority did not support it, and countries like France and Germany, seeking to appease Russia (because appeasement has of course, always worked), opposed Ukrainian membership. The populations of Sweden and Finland also did not support joining NATO. Why did they decide to abandon centuries or decades of neutrality? Because of Russia. Russia is solely to blame for this war and the state of Russian and Western relations.

Hi everyone)) I am from Russia, I try to make it easier for those of you, who just started to realise the situation. According to my experience (I am 40) In Russia we are focused on our selfs , but when we get in any conflict of interests, our first offer is always the best. Bcoz we respect people. If the opponent denies the fist offer, every offer he gets will be much and much worse. Putin is a typical Russian, and this was his first offer. It was fair and full of respect. Unfortunately they didn’t get it. Now we have what we have. And from my point of view, Putin made another offer in Tackers interview, but seems like they still don’t get it.
My other comment is hidden, so I will try not to use any conflicting words..
It was fair and full of respect. You mean Putin's offer from Istanbul? That was not an offer that was a dead threat to Ukraine.

Basically. West is not always best and not everyone wants to be like us. No one listens though. (As they have big plans for the globe)

Nobody thought that! Putin just thinks it is his land
it's astonishing how the people even in Russia think like that. suppose normal people are not meant to think about politics but times are changing.
I came to watch this video because "Scott Ritter" recommended it on his podcast as one of the greatest speeches in history pointing out the true nature of the West led by the US.
where are you from? from russia?
Me as well.
Scott Ritter 👌🏻
@@user-yj1on3bf1v No I am a pissed off American who is upset at all my leadership and i want a serious movement. Other than that I support Russia in standing up to the imperialist US.
@@fukkawi Wow really? It looks like Scott Ritter is doing a good job then 🙂
Hard to see this and then hear certain analysts say, today in 2016, that Putin's geopolitical strategy is somehow indecipherable.
If someone cannot find Putin's geopolitical strategy, then let him look under his own double standards. Maybe it's not too late.
His strategy is literally make RuSSia great again. Putler must be stopped (!)
Godwin's law, dude.
@@Andreasws24 he already made Russia great again. Right now he is securing the Great Russia.
"Certain Analysts" aren't really analysts; they are stenographers of the "Money Printers" and the Military Industrial Complexes.
The current situation, is nothing new for mr Putin, everything was foreseeable and unfortunately happened. Thank god the Russians are well prepared and very sane to handle any situation. Since those times the west leadership got more and more corrupt, and the east developed. Now is the time of prosperity in the east and south!!! 🇷🇺❤️
Amazing speech!
Thank you so much for the uploading of this video. Certainly media will never let us know about this video. Things have been cooking up for so many years.
literally you can find references to this all over the media. and you find it here on YT. so what the heck are you on about?
@@Lord.Schnitzel Living in a cave.
@@felicityw5163 yes, looks like you are. sry
@@Lord.Schnitzel The likes underneath my comment says it all.
@@felicityw5163 the 14 likes in 11 days? that’s major consent indeed, impressive 😂🤡
This is one of the best speeches any leader could have given about this issue. Everything Mr Putin says has become true now.
Because he choose it himself....
@@peterbaggerkyed7588 Russia warned us they would fight for their own survival, and now you're shocked when they make good on their promises?
@@spazemfathemcazemmeleggymi272 I'm not shocked, I'm just furious and baffled by the level of stupidity. Every word in your sentence indicates lack of logic, sense of reality and decent values
@@spazemfathemcazemmeleggymi272 so survival means invade sovereign countries, thats a point..
@@Nick-ov8ed all countries are sovereign until they cannot defend themselves, Ukraine pissed Russia off, Russia is inevitably going to win. Ukraine had multiple chances at making peace and (with the help of European and American politicians) spat in Russia's face. Perhaps you need to watch this speech again? China is taking over the US slowly and peacefully, I believe Russia would do the same if it could but the fact that it had to go to war means that war was the only option.
Владимир, жаль, что те, кому вы так верили искренне лгали с самого начала. Привет, Ангела Меркель, ее вранье в лицо вам останется в истории. Минские соглашения, гарантом исполнения которых она была и Германия

Минские соглашения это уже следствие. А что было причиной? Знаете? Это, ведь, тоже войдет в историю. Правда, не в путинскую историю.
@@user-zt6om4cx3e they are. Thanks to the little green men that Putin claimed they don't existi and then got metals for annexing Crimea
Absolutely brilliant man!. Visions of a achievable peaceful future.
America will never allow it. Too much money to be made by the military industrial complex
You are an id..t! Putin is not only a mass murderer of Russian critical journalists and Russian political opponents of him.
He´s also a war criminal and a dictator.
Putin started a murderous war of destruction before this speech: in 2000 he had the independence seeking Chechenia attacked and had the Chechen capital Grosny destroyed then.
In 2008 he attacked Georgia, in 2014 Syria with the bombardment and almost complete destruction of Aleppo there.
In 2014 he started his colonial war against independent democratic Ukraine with the annexation of Ukraine´s Crimea and the occupation of Eastern parts of Ukraine.
Last year, in 2022, he started a brutal war against all of Ukraine, committing horrendous war crimes in Ukraine and the constant bombardment of many Ukrainian civil institutions and buildings.
Putin is a dictator, mass murderer in Russia (he had many Russian critical journalists and Russian opponents murdered) and a war criminal in different foreign countries.
There is no reason to glorify this man but there are many reasons to send him to the International Court for war criminals in The Hague!
This is also valid off course for other war criminals all over the world!
Well it all has been said 15 years ago but nobody listened to this day
Most straight forward honest speech I've ever heard
but ofc what else can you expect from KGB spies except honesty.
He's a great speaker but lets not forget that his career is literally manipulating foreigners
@@CynicallyDepressedxin what statement that he made was not true. It's not manipulation if what he is saying is true
@@CynicallyDepressedx I think the world "foreigners" is unnecessary. I doubt he ever said anything that was true even when speaking to his own people. I mean he still keeps telling them that there is no war going on sooo yeah...Hitler and Stalin were also incredibly gifted orators. In fact it`s a common trait among history`s greatest dictators and tyrants.
@@isellcrack3537 His job before being president was undercover agent in West Germany, so yeah, his job was manipulating foreigners. And Russians of course.
