Olive Stone's favourite drink must be a martini. LOL. Thanks for the links SuperCharge. Will try and watch. When during the interview does Stone ask Putin for a body count of the people he's had assassinated? I'd like to start there.
I wonder if Putin laughed uncontrollably or cringed with regret when he was asked about Agent Orange's performance thus far.
As Trump lowers American influence in the world, Putin steps up.
Where is Putin stepping up? He took Crimea through the back door and a "referendum", he's putting a mild pressure on the Eastern Ukraine and using a minimum effort to keep Assad Jr. alive. He did all those things because he assessed the former president, correctly, to be weak. None of it had anything to do with the current president.
A joke, right? Putin loves giving interviews, on his terms. He does not give a shit about climate agreements- never did and never will, cannot afford to support Cuba or North Korea. Especially that NK is in the China's sphere of influence not Russia's. As for the domestic violence. Putin has been knocking off inconvenient individuals since the day he came to power, regardless of who was occupying the White House. I suggest, learn the language and a bit of Russian history and culture(such as it is) and listen to the man himself. When he says that he mourns the passing of the Soviet empire, he's not saying what people think he is saying, he's mourning the passing of the ability to project power and not the domestic "achievements" of the Soviet state since those never existed. And he's painfully aware of contemporary Russia's weakness because he is a pretty sharp operator. And most that he's doing on the international scene is to hide that impotency from his own people.
