What dignity? He fell for Putin’s charm offensive… Oliver stone’s obsequiousness is proof positive that human nature’s propensity to be in awe and bend the knee to a powerful authoritarian leader is deeply rooted
It's so pathetic to see how very uninterested they are to hear the other side of the story but rather doubling down on the same narrative of Cold War mentality which is sickening to the core it's a shame main stream media is this crappy now days. Well done Olivia stone..
Stories of disaster and war brings more money in, than stories of peace, like: russia is now our friend (not good for business). The media goes where there are more money to be earn.
It seems to be a new American thing to aggressively question the interviewee and move from unrelated question to unrelated question if the interviewee resists being bullied. Well done Mr. Stone.

My God! When I listening these show hosts with all their preconceptions to Mr Putin, it makes me feel so sad about US Mass media. USSR propaganda was nothing comparing to this.
Жан Д. Soviet people were mostly educated, so the propaganda had to be subtle and sophisticated. In America it's enough to simply repeat the same thing as often as possible to make it a new reality.
Usually the Soviet propaganda criticized the American way of life in general, the culture of excessive consumption, the oppression of blacks, the unleashing of wars against small countries. I can't remember any article in Pravda where President of US was called serial killer personally almost putting him with one side with Hitler.
I just finished watching Stone's interview with Vladimir Putin. I believe that those 4 interviews are so important that they should be made available to everyone in the United States. Putin is wise, intelligent leader of the country with the difficult past, thousands years of the history and with him being presented by politicians and media as a greatest enemy of the United States, he is worth listening to.
I think O. Stone is very possible the most honest and level headed person in Hollywood. I also think our media paints a very negative and inaccurate picture of Putin. If you study him via multiple biographies as well as watch his speeches and interviews and you will see a very intelligent man who shows himself to be possessing of an integrety and love of his country which I think he cares deeply for.
If that were the case why are there so many poor people there? Why is there so much corruption? Why does Putin hide trillions in offshore accounts that are illegally stolen from his country? And why is his country a massive infrastructure mess? Why is crime so high there? Me thinks your impression of Putin deeply undercuts the actual reality of a very corrupt individual.
@@nelsonc6173 Every country and every nation has problems, similar and unique ones. Most of the problems you list are applicable to the USA as well as Russia - why don't you ask the same of the American presidents and politics? As far as the hidden trillions, the Pandora Papers you may be citing strangely don't include any Western allies - why so? No politician is a saint, no country is innocent, yet to attack one without vetting the other, especially in an era of disinformation and radical division, begs to repeat history that was written less than a century ago.
Norah O'Donnell is out of her depth questioning an intelligent and experienced film maker and deep thinker like Oliver Stone. She doesn't know how to listen while interviewing people, something Oliver mastered to perfection. At least Charlie Rose knew better, was respectful and kept his mouth (mostly) shut.
Oliver stone, very pragmatic person, and I think after the interviews with Putin, it just put him in another dimension of realism. Good job Oliver we support you mate.
He, like many narcissists, has an infatuation with powerful men + how they’ve managed to obtain and hold such power. Hard stop- look what Putin has done since. Cowards and Traitors.
I like Oliver Stone because he can form his own ideas in spite of American cliches. That being said, I also think that sometimes he "fall in love" with the leaders he interviews. Putin is certainly a charismatic and complex person, and these interviews showed that he has strong values and he's not the "monster" that western media try to create. I liked the guy more than what I expected, I have to admit that. At the same time, during those interviews he managed to not answer some of the most uncomfortable questions that Stone made (like the ones about the transparency on his wealth, for example) and he tended to minimize certain relevant problems linked to the policies of his government (like freedom of speech, gay rights, NSA-style interceptions, etc ). Obviously he was eager to "sell" a certain image of himself: brilliant, calm, open-minded, value-oriented, inclusive, wise (although I think that despite this image he tried to build up, we saw the man behind the Russian President quite a lot here). Thinking that in those 20 hours he was always 100% genuine and he never stretched/omitted facts would be naive. But again, was he that different from western politicians in doing that? I don't think so.
@@kristinahavranova9616 I think that it's hard to be objective nowadays, but in the end we should look at facts. Russia people have its own way to look at things, and western people struggle understanding that. Putin has put up an authoritarian regime, whatever you want to call it, but he could do that because Russians can live with a different system than democracy. Different countries have different cultures and visions. Putin is not a monster, he's a chief of government who takes care of his country's interests. He also have flaws, and he's not indifferent to the dark side of power, no matter what he thinks/says. He did regrettable things in the past, and good things too. He has good reasons to do certain things, and he took decisions that were probably driven only by his own ambitions. He's probably rich in a way that legal and moral/value-driven ways wouldn't have allowed him. He loves Russia, but his personal vision could take directions that collide with Russians' interests. Is a human being in a position of power. A brilliant person with his own personal dark sides. So I just think that it's important for people to stop thinking in terms of "good guys and bad guys". People are bad AND good at the same time, and no matter whether they live in the west or in Russia. Western countries have disgusting politicians who would sell their mothers for a gram of power. The "only problem" with Putin is probably that his government lacks the emergency brakes in case he stops thinking clearly (not saying that this is the case, but it's a problem anyways). So yeah, those were just my 2 cents. Btw, I'm Italian.

Oliver stone is an amazing interviewer. Fox news has proven themselves to be right on several occasions, when the other liberal press was wrong. The vacine is one
That documentary was phenomenal. It’s fascinating. Oliver Stone is brilliant, open minded because he wants to see thee truth. The guy volunteered to fight Vietnam. He is just a worldly individual
I agree with Oliver who said that Megan didn't know what she was talking about. I think Oliver told putin to push US journalists on the issues, because they don't know anything about countries like Ukraine or Crimea. There plastic USA media puppets empty and shallow. when you watch the summit event hosted by Megan, you can see putin pushing back at Megan asking her if she's read the reports on hacking the election. 🤣
At the end of the documentary Mr. Putin said to Mr Stone," you will suffer a lot after this! Mr. Stone response was," I know but it is worth it". The Documentary was brilliant by all means.
@@neilpeartspurplenose8739 I didn't say America is a saint. I said Putin is a horrific war criminal. Because he is. Do you support his war crimes or not?
Mr. Oliver Stone, my respects, your work will be written for centuries in not thousand of years, director extraordinaire, a true history recording no other director attempted...a fine work of fine man...my respectful greetings to you...
Jan F , Sarcastically I said this because the question could be asked of the USA too, and would have the same answer. So My point is to ask questions that does not put us in a bad light. Pick a question that that the USA is not guilty of our selves.
its so funny...america has openly interfered with elections around the world from south america,central america,europe,africa,middle east etc...(read confessions of an economic hitman)
She didn't say that. She said you just can't assume everything a politician says in a interview is true. That's how journalism works.. but Stone is a filmmaker, not a journalist. He just cares about a Putin's money
After watching all the parts, and then the Meghan Kelly 'interview/attack', it seems I believe him more than our own media...he's straight, no punches and I'd trust him with his word moreso than Obama or anyone in DC.
In April 1967, Stone enlisted in the United States Army and requested combat duty in Vietnam. From September 16, 1967 to April 1968, he served in Vietnam with 2nd Platoon, B Company, 3rd Battalion, 25th Infantry Division and was twice wounded in action.[15] He was then transferred to the First Cavalry Division participating in long range patrols before being transferred again to drive for a motorized infantry unit of the division until November 1968.[17] For his service, his military awards include the Bronze Star with "V" Device for heroism, the Purple Heart with Bronze Oak Leaf Cluster to denote two awards, the Air Medal, the Army Commendation Medal, the National Defense Service Medal, the Vietnam Service Medal, the Vietnam Campaign Medal and the Combat Infantryman Badge.
I agree that US mainstream media demonize Putin way too much, but it's also clear that Oliver Stone is also pretty native on judging Putin, based on what he said in the interview. No politician on earth would entirely reveal him/her self during a televised interview.
Pause the video at 2:44, look all 3 want to jump in (Lady in yellow wanted to read out anything, Charlie always relies on improvising, third one was the quickest). What Stone said between 2:38 and 2:44 is UNACCEPTABLE to be aired on CBS. It was like - "We'll interview Oliver Stone" and - "We'll answer all the questions too"
Oliver Stone, Thank you for your efforts over your lifetime. I hope you inspire others to be more genuine. As for the panel, well I suggest you watch yourselves and realign. Life is not about stratagem, but compassion. Love to ALL
Thank you. The word stratagem so well sums up the obvious hidden agenda of these CBS media clones. Sadly, we seem to be raising up an entire generation of people like this. That's a scary thing!
Vladimir Putin has a powerful personality. He is a very well educated man and he is very clear about what he wants. nobody can resist his charismatic personality. He has all the condition of a great leader.
LMAO A Great Leader, Are you Fu#kin kidding me, The Great Leader that directed Innocent women and children being murdered for no reason except to fulfill his wicked thirst for power. And now the world clearly sees what he really wants.
@@russelltate1394 Well, is your opinion but I would look into how many innocent people US and allies have killed in the many many many wars they invented to keep their power. Is not good thing to play blind.
Respect to Oliver for his personality, big Respect. And also big respect for not throwing up at this table, surrounded by such disgraceful idiots. I'm shocked how the US media is turning facrs around and believe in everything being told by stuff like CIA etc. It's frustrating.
His interview was so much better than the typical western interviews where they just accuse him of things over and over again and he denies it. We end up knowing nothing about him if you only get your info from the mainstream media
Watching this four years later, these people talking about ‘meddling’ and ‘collusion’ look really naive and unintelligent. I called it out then, and now we can all sit here with hindsight.
He quoted Robert gates who has blood of thousands of iraqis on his hands. He is not eligible to pass such comments on others when he himself is a war criminal!😂
A picture equals a thousand words a 20 hour interview means billions of words with no place to hide.Unlike his interviewers mr Stone seems quite objective.
It's pathetic that the CBS cast simply shifted to Oliver when they didn't like the answers they wanted. " Why did he grant you so much access". Oliver made an objective observation and they are trying to pin him as a puppet.
The first thing about this interview with OS, is how hostile almost all the hosts, but the one in the stripe outfit in particular. It's clear from the outset that their mind is set and regardless how wrong they might be, they're sticking to their thinking.
Iraq in 2003. America and Nato did half a job in 1991. They have to go in 2003 to finish the job. Trouble broke out in Ukraine in 2014. Obama was president then. Trump becomes president in 2016. No war in Ukraine during his time. Biden became president in 2021. War in Ukraine in 2022. 4.2 million people have become refugees. All due to the clumsy foreign policy of America. Way back in the 1970s Senator Mansfield wanted to withdraw American troops from Germany. He wanted Europe to work on the European Security Treaty. Sen. Mansfield had the vision but unfortunately he was in the minority and was defeated in the Senate. Freedom.is an overated word. Food on the table and a roof is freedom for many people like in Cuba. America has imposed santions on Cuba since the revolution in 1959. Thats is a form of terrorism. It is financial terrorism on the part of America. Who can educate America. It is people like Oliver Stone and Michael Moore. What has been the Council of Foreign Relations doing all this while?
I noticed how the more convicting movies were NOT mentioned. Armageddon now ,JFK, The untold history of the United states .That was on purpose. The tone was " why dont you hate Putin like us ? "
Calm, Just like a cold blooded serial killer who wants to eat Ukranian babies for dinner. Obviously your assessment of "The Great Mr Calm Putin" is Highly Disturbing and you need therapy as soon as possible.
Watching the series, i have to say, Putin is one of the most articulated and smooth talking president that i have ever seen, i mean, i don't even care if he is lying, at least he talks like a human, and he is more convincing than those CBS hosts. that is for sure. congratulations to mr. Stone for this accomplishment.
@Comungus Charlie Rose is a member of the Council on Foreign Relations, a globalist organization.. it's also an arm of the Royal Institute For International Affairs.
Oliver Stone said, I would know if Putin is lying- I dont see it". Oliver, you are a freaking Hollywood film director and He was KGB agent, and now politician! Really, you would know?
Now this didn't hold up very well for Oliver Stone. "Never interfere in other countries"...."peaceful coexistence"...he ate all the crap and ended up brown-faced. Lots of apparatchiks here in the comments btw
Oliver stone is a brilliant filmmaker and Vietnam Vet, and I don't question his honesty AT ALL. It's important to remember, however, that for 16 years at least, Putin was a KGB officer who worked for Boris Yeltsin. So, I'd take Putin's honesty with a grain of salt. I'm not sure what the baseline of honest feedback is for Ex-KGB officers, but it's not likely to be high.
American media repulses me. Putin has perform brilliant international politics that short-sighted Americans are not able to see nor understand. The inveighing manipulations of these reporters are outfront. Oliver Stone leaves to the viewer a delightful jewels of journalism to see and freely let us to form an opinion about Putin.
@@typhoontim125 I went to his twitter naively expecting him to say that he was wrong lol. Seems like he is just doubling down on Putin. Such a sell-out.

@@stephanswanepoel2448 they dont want to bother themselves with learning of the timeline of events, these people just heard the news, and then feel obligated to spew out hatred.
The US media gets really childish when someone differs from them on the topic of Russia and Putin. As the flag bearers of freedom and the champion of democracy their country is, they should know that everyone has the freedom to have their own opinions and anyone else's opinion is just as valid as their. No need to to try to cross question them or worse, trying to put the other person in a bad light.

Oliver stone is an amazing interviewer. Fox news has proven themselves to be right on several occasions, when the other liberal press was wrong. The vacine is one
@@Kingkoofy You must look at the boardroom to understand what news they will bring.
Stone has become extremely pro communist. He was always soft in communist China and panders to murderous Putin now
That documentary was phenomenal. It’s fascinating. Oliver Stone is brilliant, open minded because he wants to see thee truth. The guy volunteered to fight Vietnam. He is just a worldly individual
this dude did great interviews than Megyn...
Unlike Megyn Kelly, Oliver Stone approached with open mind and without agenda.
LOL..Kelly is not in this guy's league by any means!
NONE well she got her 15 minutes of fame :)
I agree with Oliver who said that Megan didn't know what she was talking about. I think Oliver told putin to push US journalists on the issues, because they don't know anything about countries like Ukraine or Crimea. There plastic USA media puppets empty and shallow. when you watch the summit event hosted by Megan, you can see putin pushing back at Megan asking her if she's read the reports on hacking the election. 🤣
At the end of the documentary Mr. Putin said to Mr Stone," you will suffer a lot after this! Mr. Stone response was," I know but it is worth it". The Documentary was brilliant by all means.
Oliver is as cool as Putin. The lady in blue wanted to get a rise out of Oliver, but Oliver played it cool
She's there because she can be trusted to carry the approved narratives. Julian Assange showed us the mainstream media connections to government.
Baby killer Vladimir Putin is absolutely sickening.
@@stanleeger4711 Ha!! And America is a Saint. Do you know how many children were killed in Iraq?
@@neilpeartspurplenose8739 I didn't say America is a saint. I said Putin is a horrific war criminal. Because he is. Do you support his war crimes or not?
Mr. Oliver Stone, my respects, your work will be written for centuries in not thousand of years, director extraordinaire, a true history recording no other director attempted...a fine work of fine man...my respectful greetings to you...
Norah O’Donnell REALLY, Putin Lying? People in glass house SHOULD NOT THROW ROCKS!
So, is he lying or not?
Jan F , Sarcastically I said this because the question could be asked of the USA too, and would have the same answer. So My point is to ask questions that does not put us in a bad light. Pick a question that that the USA is not guilty of our selves.
its so funny...america has openly interfered with elections around the world from south america,central america,europe,africa,middle east etc...(read confessions of an economic hitman)
She didn't say that. She said you just can't assume everything a politician says in a interview is true. That's how journalism works.. but Stone is a filmmaker, not a journalist. He just cares about a Putin's money
they can ask about Putin lying because journalists are not responsible for US's government actions; they are just press
The supossedly real journalists are jealous of Mr Stone behaving like a real journalist.
They aren’t journalists. They are entertainers.
'When I look at him I could see a cold bloided killer' Does anybody with a normal intelligence believe that this a serious asessment of a person.
After watching all the parts, and then the Meghan Kelly 'interview/attack', it seems I believe him more than our own media...he's straight, no punches and I'd trust him with his word moreso than Obama or anyone in DC.
as a veteran i respect mr putin, until i see evidence of collusion i repsect that man.
we will not see any evidence because its a lie
Well, no one is going to knock on your door with the evidence.
@@Dushan88 And Ukraine right now?
Oliver Stone seems to be the only person who is speaking the truth about Putin.
This is my first time hearing Oliver Stone speak, but I like how he’s an artist but also very pragmatic and logical
In April 1967, Stone enlisted in the United States Army and requested combat duty in Vietnam. From September 16, 1967 to April 1968, he served in Vietnam with 2nd Platoon, B Company, 3rd Battalion, 25th Infantry Division and was twice wounded in action.[15] He was then transferred to the First Cavalry Division participating in long range patrols before being transferred again to drive for a motorized infantry unit of the division until November 1968.[17] For his service, his military awards include the Bronze Star with "V" Device for heroism, the Purple Heart with Bronze Oak Leaf Cluster to denote two awards, the Air Medal, the Army Commendation Medal, the National Defense Service Medal, the Vietnam Service Medal, the Vietnam Campaign Medal and the Combat Infantryman Badge.
I agree that US mainstream media demonize Putin way too much, but it's also clear that Oliver Stone is also pretty native on judging Putin, based on what he said in the interview. No politician on earth would entirely reveal him/her self during a televised interview.
Oliver Stone is a master of diplomacy and disclaimer need more like him.
We need him to interview Putin once again
Huge respect for Oliver
Best two things about this video are 1) Stone and 2) virtually the entire comment section saying how insane CBS is.
Pause the video at 2:44, look all 3 want to jump in (Lady in yellow wanted to read out anything, Charlie always relies on improvising, third one was the quickest).
What Stone said between 2:38 and 2:44 is UNACCEPTABLE to be aired on CBS.
It was like - "We'll interview Oliver Stone"
and - "We'll answer all the questions too"
Coz he went there with an OPEN mind, not just a propandagist.
Oliver Stone, Thank you for your efforts over your lifetime. I hope you inspire others to be more genuine. As for the panel, well I suggest you watch yourselves and realign. Life is not about stratagem, but compassion.
Love to ALL
'Life is not about stratagem, but compassion.' Love that.
Thank you. The word stratagem so well sums up the obvious hidden agenda of these CBS media clones. Sadly, we seem to be raising up an entire generation of people like this. That's a scary thing!
Valliken Corvus Kane very very well said!! God bless!
Vladimir Putin has a powerful personality. He is a very well educated man and he is very clear about what he wants. nobody can resist his charismatic personality. He has all the condition of a great leader.
LMAO A Great Leader, Are you Fu#kin kidding me, The Great Leader that directed Innocent women and children being murdered for no reason except to fulfill his wicked thirst for power. And now the world clearly sees what he really wants.
@@russelltate1394 Well, is your opinion but I would look into how many innocent people US and allies have killed in the many many many wars they invented to keep their power. Is not good thing to play blind.
OMG one American citizen start to think with his own head,that is huge progress for US hahahaha
Cука's :)
THAT BOLSHEVIK SNAKE WOMAN DOES NOT SAY THAT AMERIQWAN MASTERS PUSH THEIR LONG NOSES IN THE BUSINESS OF EACH COUNTRY AND NATION IN THE WORLD.
Many do, do your research.
Respect to Oliver for his personality, big Respect. And also big respect for not throwing up at this table, surrounded by such disgraceful idiots. I'm shocked how the US media is turning facrs around and believe in everything being told by stuff like CIA etc. It's frustrating.
God bless Russia and USA. Peace&Love
God Bless USA & Ukraine
His interview was so much better than the typical western interviews where they just accuse him of things over and over again and he denies it. We end up knowing nothing about him if you only get your info from the mainstream media
Stone and most of the comments haven’t aged well! World is full of fools!
Watching this four years later, these people talking about ‘meddling’ and ‘collusion’ look really naive and unintelligent. I called it out then, and now we can all sit here with hindsight.
He quoted Robert gates who has blood of thousands of iraqis on his hands. He is not eligible to pass such comments on others when he himself is a war criminal!😂
"He believes in peaceful co-existence." Tell that to Georgia and Ukraine.
Tell that to the United States.
Finally. All these comments are almost pro Putin. Stone has to eat his words
Mr Stone is a legend. Honest, logical and open. Best traits available. Thank you Sir.
The presenters: You've interviewed him for 20hours, but let me tell you what putin is like...
Much respect to Mr. Oliver.
So much headache listening to the rest.
the dude came to talk about his documentary and these guys ask him prosecution questions
A picture equals a thousand words a 20 hour interview means billions of words with no place to hide.Unlike his interviewers mr Stone seems quite objective.
He seems naive.
It's pathetic that the CBS cast simply shifted to Oliver when they didn't like the answers they wanted. " Why did he grant you so much access". Oliver made an objective observation and they are trying to pin him as a puppet.
We love you Putin! We love you Oliver Stone!!!
You guys rock!!!!!! 🇷🇺✌️️🇺🇸👍
Yeah, the real left and the real right, only fake people believe the fake intervention story
@@peaceandlove544 👍
We don't love former commy KGB murderer Putin. Only you kremlin bots pretending to be Americans love him.
2:57 after she reads something the entire world is aware of and says that's a flat-out lie does she get paid to say that or is she just naive?
haha yeah
Kudos to Mr Stone for this excellent interview on Mr. Putin. Also kudos for going into the propaganda snake pit to be grilled by the gestapo.
The first thing about this interview with OS, is how hostile almost all the hosts, but the one in the stripe outfit in particular. It's clear from the outset that their mind is set and regardless how wrong they might be, they're sticking to their thinking.
These hosts are ill informed, aggressive and ignorant. What a shame.
Iraq in 2003. America and Nato did half a job in 1991. They have to go in 2003 to finish the job.
Trouble broke out in Ukraine in 2014. Obama was president then.
Trump becomes president in 2016. No war in Ukraine during his time. Biden became president in 2021. War in Ukraine in 2022. 4.2 million people have become refugees.
All due to the clumsy foreign policy of America. Way back in the 1970s Senator Mansfield wanted to withdraw American troops from Germany. He wanted Europe to work on the European Security Treaty. Sen. Mansfield had the vision but unfortunately he was in the minority and was defeated in the Senate.
Freedom.is an overated word. Food on the table and a roof is freedom for many people like in Cuba. America has imposed santions on Cuba since the revolution in 1959. Thats is a form of terrorism. It is financial terrorism on the part of America.
Who can educate America. It is people like Oliver Stone and Michael Moore. What has been the Council of Foreign Relations doing all this while?
these journalists need t know how the US govt innterfere in all countries but they never talk about it
How can these people just ignore all the American interventions and harm that’s been done since 1945 that been ramped up since 1991 !
Maybe we need Oliver as a president. He is actually talking to people.
I noticed how the more convicting movies were NOT mentioned. Armageddon now ,JFK, The untold history of the United states .That was on purpose.
The tone was " why dont you hate Putin like us ? "
Stone had a glorious opportunity to meet the best man in circulation since many years
What's about CIA terrorist group..????. U talk about Russia what's about CIA games in the world.....
Oliver stone was amazing on this interview
Not sure we want to know the truth nor are we capable of understanding it as Americans.
He's so calm and wise.
3 people tried to hardly attack him and he didn't move an eye...
Calm, Just like a cold blooded serial killer who wants to eat Ukranian babies for dinner. Obviously your assessment of "The Great Mr Calm Putin" is Highly Disturbing and you need therapy as soon as possible.
The interviewers are defensive. Unprofessional.
Watching the series, i have to say, Putin is one of the most articulated and smooth talking president that i have ever seen, i mean, i don't even care if he is lying, at least he talks like a human, and he is more convincing than those CBS hosts. that is for sure. congratulations to mr. Stone for this accomplishment.
Baby killer Vladimir Putin is absolutely sickening.
@Comungus Charlie Rose is a member of the Council on Foreign Relations, a globalist organization.. it's also an arm of the Royal Institute For International Affairs.
RUclips has censored Putin interviews already in my country!!! Wonder how long this will be available...
Wow these people are so rude to Oliver! What an intelligent gentleman he is...
Oliver Stone said, I would know if Putin is lying- I dont see it". Oliver, you are a freaking Hollywood film director and He was KGB agent, and now politician! Really, you would know?
The interviews are good.I suggest people to watch them. I found Putin to be a good guy and very down to earth.
They owe Putin an apology
Now this didn't hold up very well for Oliver Stone. "Never interfere in other countries"...."peaceful coexistence"...he ate all the crap and ended up brown-faced.
Lots of apparatchiks here in the comments btw
So much crap indeed. Stone was a fool.
Maybe Oliver Stone should interview HRC about Uranium One hypocrisy.
I'm grateful for people like Stone, who can express themselves respectfully. Respect is what might have got him close to Putin.
Oliver stone is a brilliant filmmaker and Vietnam Vet, and I don't question his honesty AT ALL. It's important to remember, however, that for 16 years at least, Putin was a KGB officer who worked for Boris Yeltsin. So, I'd take Putin's honesty with a grain of salt. I'm not sure what the baseline of honest feedback is for Ex-KGB officers, but it's not likely to be high.
Thank you Oliver Stone! Every American should watch this documentary!
American media repulses me. Putin has perform brilliant international politics that short-sighted Americans are not able to see nor understand. The inveighing manipulations of these reporters are outfront. Oliver Stone leaves to the viewer a delightful jewels of journalism to see and freely let us to form an opinion about Putin.
After watching the Putin interviews,I would believe him before Trump!
Mr. Stone seems to like interviews with tyrants and dictators, Putin, Chavez, Castro.
I believe a majority of these comments were written by Russian bots.
Did this age well?
This didn’t age well 😂
Well this aged like fine milk....
"He [Putin] believes in peaceful coexistence." That aged well...
Exactly. Stone is a clown of the highest order.
@@typhoontim125 I went to his twitter naively expecting him to say that he was wrong lol. Seems like he is just doubling down on Putin. Such a sell-out.
You haven’t seen the film “Ukraine on Fire” yet. Not everything is black & white. The trailer is here on RUclips, with the documentary elsewhere…where it hasn’t been pulled yet.
You can't stay peaceful if others are not planning to stay peaceful. Ever thought about that ? "Peaceful coexistence"
@@stephanswanepoel2448 they dont want to bother themselves with learning of the timeline of events, these people just heard the news, and then feel obligated to spew out hatred.
These journalists are salivating to hear anything negative about Putin. Lol.
They would bet with their lives to hear it. 🫡
After several hours of personally interviewing and spending time with Putin the TV people know far more.
The US media gets really childish when someone differs from them on the topic of Russia and Putin. As the flag bearers of freedom and the champion of democracy their country is, they should know that everyone has the freedom to have their own opinions and anyone else's opinion is just as valid as their. No need to to try to cross question them or worse, trying to put the other person in a bad light.
Thank You Mr. Stone for the great documentary.
uh, the U.S. doesn't meddle in other countries affairs?
