Was it actually that crazy? My fragile mind can't handle direct exposure right now, but if you've seen it I'm eager to hear about it
Don't listen to them. First thing putin asked was "do you want a talk show or a serious conversation?" You don't need to agree with him but the whole interview was a reasonable and civilized attempt to show the russian perspective to western audiences.
Don't use slurs
Except for the fact that he's making a lot of shit up, I'm from eastern europe and none of his stories about Poland, Lithuania and Kievan Rus were accurate at all.
Also Wonder if he lost a word about the Kievan Rus' which would give Ukraine a stronger claim on russian territory than what Russia claims for Ukraine belonging to it. Not that you should go there but that whole line of arguing doesn't even work for itself
Of course he did not. That's why they removed the word Kievan from that term in History textbooks, it's now just Rus, no Kiev
Even if they were true, his point is that "we used to own Ukraine so we're going to kill people until we do again"
You know, like fascists do.
And you're just going to believe Putin at face value?
I believe that he believes in what he's saying. He's been talking and writing articles about this for years. He's that out of touch with reality. Remember, he doesn't even use internet.
I'm gonna listen to what he has to say and make up my mind.
You accuse someone of all sorts of things, and never give them a fair chance to defend themselves through dialog. Tell me again how this is a fair aproach. Sounds like you just want to shut down someone for fear of them being right and you wrong.
Putin is the invader if he leaves the war ends. What more do you need to hear from the guy
What he has to say is that Ukraine should be destroyed and ethnically cleansed. Why on earth would you want to hear more of what he has to say?
~~russian perspective~~ Warmonger's perspective. Ftfy
