Putin and the Presidents: Timothy Snyder (interview) | FRONTLINE

40 thoughts on “Putin and the Presidents: Timothy Snyder (interview) | FRONTLINE”

1. America is the cause of the wars throughout the world. It will be defeated for peace to exist.. Ukraine was set up to attack Russia, break it up getting too powerful for poor America. Ukraine is a Proxy war believed by the whole world.

2. Bro is dismissing the fact that US media said that Russia invaded Ukraine, what kind of brain washing is this I mean fox news and other news outlets were talking about is and that was a lie. Russia did not invade Ukraine in 2014but there was a presence of Russian soldiers in Crimea because Crimea voted to be separated from Ukraine to join Russian the votes in favor was 92%. The US funded and advocated for the regime change in Ukraine, the Ukranian president was unconstitutionally replaced when he fled to Russia because of the protests and the US said the new president was elected democratically although he never had 3/4 votes to become president.

3. This vid is scrypted from 1st to last second…

4. Little did he know that in 100 years no one will remember Biden was President…because Trump destroyed education and no one will be able to read

5. 41:53 Damn, the foresight

6. Great interview! However, I have to point out at 03:55 that Putin "not having seen much of the world and not speaking Otter languages" is wrong. He speaks german pretty well and (still) has a lot of sympathisers and even allies here in austria and germany. Especially right wing parties.

7. Prof. Snyder is one of the brightest minds this 🌎 has living today, especially as it pertains to the war in Russia and Ukraine. Tim is a true "Thought Leader" and Intellectual.

8. He has some points but really he doesn't address that the Donbass is orthodox and russian and the coup that happened.

9. He’s not an intellectual and I’m not buying into what he’s saying. He’s smart, don’t get me wrong. However, I’m going back to Noam Chomsky’s channel ❤

10. "a challenge they didn't expect" maybe the Russian maneuvers were a clue, you know the tens of thousands of troops along the border? Putins approach to the West? We were shocked!!! Skocked!!!

11. One of the best interviews on any subject I've ever seen!

12. I use to really admire and respect Timothy Snyder. I enjoyed his books On Tyranny and the Road to Unfreedom. I also "completed" his online course on Ukraine and believe him to be very knowledgeable on the subject. But recently he has revealed himself to have a critical case of the woke mind virus. It's people like him who have surrendered their own cognitive faculties all in the name of social justice, pretending like we're still living under segregation (in truth, we are: but its Black-instigated segregation and anti-White, anti-Jewish, and anti-Asia racism). STOP THIS! YOU are the problem! If Democrats EVER hope to reclaim power that will have to shake off this potential civilization-ending religious meme.

13. Timothy Snyder is wrong so much of the time. Like when he says of Putin 03:50, "he doesn't know foreign languages." That's ridiculous. Putin's German is quite good and he lived in Germany. He also speaks English though with a strong accent and does not speak it in public much.

14. Fuck me, this interviewer though… “ so was this Obama’s fault? And what was Obama thinking? was Obama wrong to think what he thought? How wrong was Obama? Is Obama to blame for all of this?”

15. Queen of the Hill

16. I would like to hear in the future your conversation with Timothy Snyder. That would be one hell of a podcast on Ukraine/Russia geopolitics. Can you make that happen?

17. That's where you got putin wrong

18. Do American have democracy 😅😅

19. « The russians are systematically wrong about how much Americans think about them” 😂😂😂😂
    Russia has the gdp of texas or Florida state. Bold of them to think they are the center of the world

20. 1:24 "…with the goal of exterminating (Ukrainian) people"
    I doubt if it really was putin's/russia's goal to exterminate Ukrainian people; but I believe russia did not have a specific reason or goal when it started/tried to invade Ukraina.
    Russians are a jealous people, I think, who cannot stand others having a better life [cf 10:55 "… (Ukraina a better country than russia];
    so, if russians damage/destroy other people's (=Ukrainian) good life it will make us, russians, feel better about ourselves,
    without having to take the responsiblity to make our own Russia a nicer place.

21. Can America really acuse other countries of illegal wars of aggression? Frontline is so biased ,the guests never get any tough questions.

22. For being 54 Timothy Snyder looks like a damn GOUL.

23. History will not be nice to this historian.

24. No.1.
    Russia invading neighboring country for no reason!!???
    There are no wars for no reason,professor of history.
    That is enough for no listening his interview anymore.

25. timothy snyder is the biggest liar i have ever seen, its only a ukranian propagandist, telling lies

26. Lol Russians are pathetic.

27. Social mobility huh? This yale guy does not understand that what we want is not social mobility but social justice. Full male employment. Ubi. Cheap rent. To him because he is rich this place looks good. The rise of Hitler and other dictators seems like a monumental injustice to him bc he is one of the lucky few for whom the system works. He doesmt see it as luck though because he works hard not realizing that everyone works hard. Oooo but who will get this comment. There are problems with the autocrats. The dalai lama is much better. He reincarnates and his followers find him.

28. Hard seeing today’s headlines coming out of the professor’s mouth a year ago…

29. very. good. on. Rusia

30. very. Good. on. th.e.
    Social. ideology

31. good. Putin. synopsis. Very. Clear

32. very. Good. right. on. . the. History. Very. Clear

33. very. good. Real. clear

34. Man I agree a ton with him on Ukraine and the reasons for the war. But his absurdness in his hate for trump and “facts” surrounding that I couldn’t disagree with more. Every interview with him is just him talking and throwing his statements out as facts. I’d love to see him debate someone who disagrees with some of his backing statements. His prime overarching statements I think are mostly correct, but the statements he uses to “prove” them in some cases I think aren’t correct at all.

    Still like the guy and appreciate his talks. Especially when every single other person in politics on the left and right go on and on about how it’s OUR fault by pushing nato. Such a joke

35. What a load of rubbish.

36. As a Russian I couldn't disagree more with prof. Snyder. His free online course on Ukraine's history is just awful. Thank you for your lack of interest and support of my country.

37. Now we have the installation of mercenaries between Russia and the Ukraine forcing the Ukraine to destroy the non-Russian interference. Choosing the less expensive cannon fodder alternative is of the brialliance Putinesque?

38. Brilliant

39. This guy is a completely delusional ass hat. The things he saying can be shot so full of holes it’s just ridiculous. The criminal regime in the Ukraine, of course is not much worse than the criminal regime in the US at the moment.

40. that was exceptional
