WRONG! It is broadcast, or recorded, in mono, and so that's all we get as playback. I have a very decent system(8.1 stand-alone surround) and know my settings well, so it's not that. You might as well tell someone to unplug and plug back in their router, LOL!
A lot of the separatist are former Ukrainian military personnel and veterans from afghan war, chechen wars, and etc.. Not to mention, foreign volunteers and obviously russian tourist..
Shane went from running around Eastern Russia checking out NK camps with a mobster, a Jew, and an ex sheriff to sitting down with the President. FUCK I miss the old VICE, man
Well , nice documentary , But you all have missed the critical point of the arms lobby of the united states and their intense lobby to create wars so as to profit themselves and also give the profit to american senators who are shareholders in it
true , but what about the parallels we have in western world , paid corporate news media , lobbyists manipulating so called democracies , and finally the Government favour to corporates who contribute generously to enable them to come to power , all this happens in front of our wide open eyes , and yet we blame them
There is a lot of hate on VICE but they remain the only news source I know of to sit down with so many relevant leaders rather than talking heads. Thank you for the incredible reporting VICE
+APolishPlayer he can have a pony picture if he wants, but if he speaks the truth it will be recognized. I hate brony people, but he is right. Lastly, no one likes Clinton either. We all know that Bernie is the only logical solution. Anyone else will continue pushing against Russia and risk the survival of the planet.
+DarkSideSixOfficial sanders is the only one who's more focused on our own problems for a change unlike others who want to get more involved with foreign countries. it's one of the reasons why many foreigners dislike or even hate the US, we're always trying to get involved, always trying to show how "great" the we are
kinda self serving if you ask me. it was a reporter from HBO, not cnn, not fox. you wanna be a little prick, you get treated that way. you can't expect to basically threat reporters with guns and have them portray you in a good light.

+randy miller It's not. However from certain perspectives it may appear to be, since the individuals or groups who own that particular network are powerful lobbyists & have a great interest in politics. So they ultimately determine what type of news and programming gets aired on their network in favor for their agenda and that of the party/politician they support. So when a network airs certain material in favor of one party or to repudiate another, it's really because the owner of the network has special interests tied to "X" party or politician.
when they send news reports direct to a party to be edited and those that speak the truth are fired what u have here is state run media! this is not journalism!

IMHO When Shane Smith does a segment for VICE he does an admirable job. He does so much of a better job at representing multiple sides of an argument, at being a proper journalist and reporter, at presenting facts and letting the viewers think for themselves, and keeping his biases subtle, than ALMOST ALL the other Progressive Liberal hipsters that work at VICE.
So let me get this straight.... The US sets up military bases around the world, more than any other country on planet earth. They have a history of going into South America and now the middle east funding radical Islamic groups to destabilize the governments so they can go in for a power grab and now they are ramping up huge military action at Russia's front door even trying to get even closer by taking over the former soviet country Ukraine? And they call Russia the aggressor who needs to step back? Maybe the US should mind their own business and stop their globalist agenda and their consolidation of power. They mask their aggression with this "freedom" horseshit. Who appointed the US to be the world's decision maker? The US isn't spreading freedom, they don't even want freedom for their own people why would they give "freedom" to anyone else? Every country they touch turns into a chaotic pit of hell. The US is literally trying to take over the globe and they are attacking the last countries who stand up for themselves. "Oh the Russians in Syria!" Who the fuck funded all those "moderate rebels" with weaponry? Who funded the Islamist groups in Afghanistan in the 1980's with surface to air stinger missiles and transported them through Pakistan? The US did along with their Saudi buddies like Osama Bin Laden. They're so full of shit it's unreal, they teach lies in their history books and paint themselves as the moral ones no matter what the situation is.
The problem is, let's be hypothetical and pretend everyone in the world did see this no matter their demographic location. Russian citizens would most likely be seeing this for the very first time and would not coincide with everything they are being told by their state-run media outlets and Putin himself. They would be heavily confused and much like we vice versa think that this video was an attempt at using anti propaganda to confuse and turn them against their own country. This is why propaganda no matter who and where you are is a very very dangerous game. On one hand it lies and tries to sway your opinion but on the other hand it can be viewed as anti propaganda against your own government and actually create a much higher sense of nationalism that can be dangerous. It's a vicious cycle
No Mister Biden the correct sentence is...."Where there are American Investments we have a obligation to defend our interests, even if it means destroying a sovereign country's stability".
Michael Sheehan Liberalism is truly a mental disorder!!! Democrypt Libtards need a class on the Constitution... hide your wife hide your kids because these Libtards trying to ruin everything out here!!!!
Russian over here. NATO should stop to exist. As Rogozyn put it, NATO is outdated organization, and it was created 70 ago (!!!) to oppose Soviet Union and suppress posible German agression. Now, NATO has more soldiers, more tanks, more weaponary than Russia and it's just amusing when American media tell us about Russian agression. Are we insane or what?? How the hell Russia can oppose world's largest military alliance which is lead by world's economical hegemon? So, Russia is defending. And one of the ways to defend is to attack, what we see now. All these international problems are from misunderstanding and portraying each side as a devil. We should relax and find a compromise.
+EzioAuditore714 You are adorable. First, I should say that there is a political science called international relations. One of the theories states, that when you're building a wall on your borders and arm yourself with defensive weaponary, that's only make your opponents beyond the wall more hostile and nervous, because they don't know if you are sincere in your peaceful intentions of protecting yourself. They think that you can attack from this wall and then hide, and they don't have ability to strike you back, because you have built a thick wall. This theory discribes why we shouldn't establish anti missile systems, which can demolish other side's nuclear potential. But I think that this theoretical example can be implemented on NATO's enlargement towards our borders. I hope you understand. Now, let me tell what's going on in my country, alright? I don't know what's on our president mind, but Russia is too weak to restore Sovient Union. And has no intention to do it. Russia just protects its interests, like any other state and has a right to do it. We have opposition, we have non-state media (god, are you really think that we have only 3 media stations?), which critisize current government, I don't know why do you think we don't have freedom to speak up, really. Nobody is opressed, Russian people have been electing Putin because most of the population like him. It's very simple.
+Doge Hound I've heard this a few times now. Is there any actual time that Vice acted as US propaganda, or is your only evidence that Murdoch bought them? I'm not happy about Murdoch, but it seems to be that they've maintained their journalistic integrity. Lots of episodes have been very critical or US foreign policy.
Invader Nik they rolled over and got trampled by Russia for not being "aggressive". Do you know what Russia did to people? Their hatred is well earned.
+DustyMcDustball5 if not the Soviets, then it would have been the Germans. At least under SOVIET, not Russian rule, the Baltics got to partake in being the first nation to send a man into space etc. since the fall of the USSR, the Baltics have done absolutely nothing noteworthy and blame all their problems on Russia. Also, dont forget that the Baltics werent the only people who suffered under Stalin's rule (who was a Georgian.) Many Russians also died.
+Adnan Kashogi Listen, we totally fucked that up. The lack of repercussions on a national level are a tragic and it's only because we're on top of the pile. I'm not sure how to make that mistake right. However, the "invasion" of Iraq wasn't a war for territory. Most likely financial gain from war profiteering, also Sadam was a monster, but intentions are important when considering military action. Russia's annexation of Crimea and involvement in Ukraine's civil war seem to be a way of diverting the population away from paying attention to the government. It sounds the old horn of the Soviet Union to those who look to the past, which is an easy way to distract the Russian population from noticing their economy collapsing, their severe isolation from the international community that's been growing since WWII and the outright theft of the country's money into the pocket's of the county's elite. We're kinda fucked here in America too, but the majority of world nations seem to side with us in this conflict. it's important to know when you're the odd man out and to figure out why.
raymond woods difference is that you can listen to any media you want including RT which is Kremlin paid propaganda here in the US while Russians don't have that luxury.
Vice used to be decent. I want a pure-unbiased report on any news story. I don't give a shit what Vice thinks or their opinions on the subject. I want the story and the truth.
Joshua Cheng this is very biased. what's not being mentioned is Russia's involvement in Syrian attacking us bases and flyover of us NAVY ships. Russia's invasion into Georgia. Russia is the problem
The fact that you have people saying that it's biased to make the US look good and other people saying that it's biased to make Russia look good just goes to show that it's relatively unbiased.
How USA would react if Russia would relocate Military Base in Canada and Mexico, but when NATO coming near Russian borders omg its aggresion from Russian part
+Doge Hound The difference is Russia has no connection to Canada or Mexico. The Baltic states are NATO associated and largely do not want to be invaded or occupied by Russia much like parts of Ukraine are currently being occupied.
This is first time i have seen admitting any western media person that they are baised too. Normally every media takes support of region where it belongs that might be US or Russia or even middle east alzazeera media which always support pro Muslim or pro Arab sentiments. And the real problem is western media influences not only their region but also much larger part of the world due to which in my country (i.e India) people mostly thinks that Russia must have done something very bad due to which sanctions have been put on it without knowing any background. great job Vice....thats real journalism.
Sorry, I don't see the equivalence of the NATO missile defense system to the Cuban Missile Crisis. One is a nuclear tipped warhead that can wipe out entire cities, and the other is used to deter exactly that from happening. It's a sham argument.
mikeyman2010 most of the arguments being made in the comments are asinine. Like this notion that the US is the aggressor, when the Russians are doing their damnest to annex the Ukraine. The US isn't annexing other countries like Russia is, we're not perfect, but this false equivalency these bots try to draw is a bullshit argument.
Timothy Stadlmueller Пожалуйста предоставьте список стран в которые незаконно военным путем вторгалась США и Россия. И количество смертей из-за военных вторжений каждой из государств. Мне интересно.
Hey, if you punch me I'm going to punch you. Okay let's not punch each other because I don't want to be punched. If you start trying to tie my hands behind my back, it might be a little suspicious.
The Russians so far have out-foxed the West, They have seized Crimea and annexed it into the Russian Federation in a new style of warfare. They are blunting rebels in Syria but are on the offensive with the Syrians and Iranians in Syria as they encircle Aleppo, they are also making Turkey nervous as the Kurds and Ruso-Syrian alliance are sealing off the border to Turkey from ISIS and other militants. All this as Western agencies speculated that Russia was on a decline.The Russian bear has come out from hibernation.
Hey, it's all thanks to Putin. He plays chess while NATO plays checkers. He's willing to do whatever it takes to increase Russia's power and prestige so that the U.S. will finally acknowledge Russia as a fellow Great Power, as well as recognizing all that that entails, such as spheres of influence. The U.S. considers all of the Americas to be within our sphere of influence, but we act as if the Ukraine is not within the Russian sphere of influence.
+Patrick Dodds The US will recognize China as a "fellow Great Power" before Russia. Russia simply isn't going to be a superpower again for quite some time -- they are only a regional power. Neither their economy nor military is strong enough. Even ignoring how the Russian economy is struggling, it was never all that large to begin with. Meanwhile, the Russian military lacks the capabilities to project power like the US can. The airstrikes in Syria are already pushing Russia's logistical limits.
+Cosmo1093 militarily Russia is very strong, and can project power if they needed too, it just costs money something they are not willing to spend without a good reason. You know Russia has a draft they could have 50 million soldiers ready in 2 days to be deployed, while it would take USA a year to get as many. This of course if no nukes are used and even in this department Russia is doing better, their is a reason why the pentagon upgraded Russia as 2 most threat to USA after ISIS a not china. Never underestimate Russian military, they always seem weak in the beginning but when the fighting starts like a bear you are in big trouble.
World E "and can project power if they needed too" -- Only on a regional scale, not a global scale. Practically speaking, global power projection requires a blue water navy and aircraft carriers. Russia hasn't had that capability since the fall of the USSR. To that end, France and the UK can more effectively project power than Russia. "it just costs money something they are not willing to spend without a good reason." -- Russia can't even be bothered to spend the money on guided munitions. They're still dropping general-purpose unguided bombs over populated areas of Syria, sometimes even from helicopters. It's hardly an improvement over Assad's "barrel bombs". "Russia as 2 most threat to USA after ISIS a not china." -- Yes, and that is because Russia and ISIS are being more belligerent to the US/NATO than China is. China has been antagonizing its neighbors in the South China Sea, but they haven't been threatening European nations with nukes or other "military consequences". "You know Russia has a draft they could have 50 million soldiers ready in 2 days to be deployed" -- That's hilarious. Can you even comprehend the equipment, logistics, and training required to turn 50 million draftees into soldiers? The entire Warsaw Pact at its height lacked that sort of capability. Russia has massive stockpiles of weapons and vehicles, but that equipment requires a lot more than 2 days to bring out of storage.
World E "they were never about sea warfare" -- In the 21st century, a blue water navy is more about power projection than naval warfare. It is how militaries are able to project power on a global scale in the absence of nearby resources or runways. For example, Russia wouldn't be able to carry out bombing missions in Syria without establishing that airbase in Syria, but the US and France can still launch from their carriers. That kind of capability is what separates regional powers from global powers, and is why the USSR had invested in a blue water navy and several aircraft carriers of its own. "But they got a very good submarine fleet that can wipe out most of the US navy if they had too." -- The fundamental reason Russia and China have to rely on asymmetrical tactics is because it can't compete with the US otherwise. It's the only way they can hope to counter a global superpower. "I was talking about how the draft has already trained 50 million soldiers." -- That's great, but you still need to arm, equip, feed, and move them. Numbers are irrelevant without the logistics to support them. Unarmed and starving soldiers aren't particularly useful. Logistics are how wars are won or lost. And on the note of logistics, Russia's bombing campaign in Syria is already stretching the Russian military thin. They've had to buy 4 horribly obsolete cargo ships from Turkey in order to sustain their mission in Syria. "but if they really wanted too they could do as they have the resource to do so." -- Not without spending a completely unsustainable amount of their GDP to completely overhaul their military.
Yeah it definitely is him, there's pictures of him with Putin and at this event online but I think he's there because he's an EX CIA black ops operative fled to Russia because he was framed for a crime he didn't commit.
Americans blame Putin for Murder? Henry kissinger should be in jail for supporting the Military Junta. So should Dick cheney, Bush and Rumsfeld for Iraq invasion where they found no WMD.
How is a defence system that protects cities from nukes comparable to the deployment of nukes to blow cities up? The US wants to put a defensive missile system in eastern europe to protect eastern europe from nukes and this is viewed as an act of aggression?
Nukes itself are an element of defense because if you don't have them you get bitched around like how with Syria, Libya, Iraq, and Yugoslavia, Russia is not gonna attack for no reason and when you put the shields you encourage Russia to develop more sophisticated weapons, there needs to be a balance of power and expanding NATO is not helping, how would you feel if Russia started to build missile defense shields in Canada and Mexico because following your logic its for pure defense and why not, not to mention the fact that the missile shields use the same rockets to not only destroy incoming projectiles but as an offensive weapon
+thatsnotagoodidea It is viewed as an act of aggression simply because it diminishes or defeats the MAD principle. The MAD principle is what kept WW3 from happening already(some believe) because if everyone believes you can't win, then no one will fight(a nuclear war).
Stop calling it Cold War 2. NATO has a Firm stance that forces in Europe are reassurance against possible separatism extremists and Russia isn't considered a threat. There is no Cold War. Just reassurance.
Would the U.S. risk nuclear war with Russia to protect Estonia? Or Lithuania? Or Latvia? I know that I wouldn't want us to, and many Americans don't either. That's not much reassurance for the Baltic states, or other small states with Russian minorities, especially if those minorities have been mistreated, and as such are dissatisfied. If Putin sent the Russian army into Estonia using the casus belli of protecting Russian minorities, do you think the U.S. would truly treat it as if Russia had invaded sovereign U.S. territory (as the NATO treaty claims we must treat it)? I'm surprised that Putin hasn't done it yet. Maybe he's waiting for the next election to show how strong he is to the Russian people, idk.
+Patrick Dodds Just look at the process of how that event would start. Russia would definitely overrun the Baltic states but with consequences. Then NATO would begin their build up to liberate it. It will come down to the theater of war. As long as US or Russia don't attack each others territory I don't think it'll escalate into a nuclear war. But then again it'll come down to who ever is loosing what desperate measures would they take.
As a former Army Veteran who was in 2CR. I find it hilarious they are asking a captain from 2CR about the "bigger picture" expecting him to have a single clue what it is. 😂
I don't think Eastern Ukraine is Ukrainian anymore. Not only do they want to be part of Russia, Ukrainian government can't even feed their OWN PEOPLE. They can;t provide, and the Ukrainian nation, one with a rich history and culture, is being choked by corrupt officials that would put Russian "scandals" to shame. Russia, and Putin by extension, not only want some buffer area, they also want to help former Russian Citizens that would need services that neither the Separatists or the Ukrainian Government can give.
Russia can't feed its own people either. As far as corruption, they're about the same on the World Corruption Index. About as corrupt as many African countries.
@@bonson9156 Russia has around 20% of poor population. USA has around 15% of poor population who can't afford food. Russia survived the collapse of USSR in 1991, economic default in 1998, two civil wars in Chechnya, and since 2014 is under heavy sanctions. it is understandable why Russia has 20% of poor people. But can you explain why USA has 15%?! USA was lucky country to avoid WW2 on it's soil. USA gathered 62% of world's GDP because of WW2. Since 1991 USA even has no geopolitical rivals. Why USA has close to Russia percentage of poor people?!
Watching someone born during the 80s talk about the intensity of the Cold War. In ten years, will we have someone born in 2000 tell us what 9/11 was like?
21:21 - in Ukraine, Baltic statelets, Armenia, Azerbaijan with their Karabakh ethnic war and many others there are no "nations". Just tribes and ethnic grups who are alien and often hostile to each other. Washington and Brussels simply labels one tribe as "titular" and another one as "minority" and then gives to "titulars" all support to crush down the rest. That is their "democracy". That is the root case for Ukrainian conflict.
That was very telling when the Lithuanian SF guy said the Russian know they have the "very strong will" to fight." He knows they can't win a fight with Russia.
I have to say this was a pretty bad piece, 42 minutes and all they did was let each side parrot their position without question lending to the idea that each side's point carried equal merit. There isn't really a debate here, Russia's aggressiveness led to the situation in Ukraine and the heightened tensions between the West. Also, the so called "golden era" of the 90's is a lie the only reason Russia wasn't hostile to the West back then was because their economy was in shambles and they were focusing still on how to feed themselves. By the time Putin came back into power Russia had regained economic and military strength and was thus able to reassert itself within political/international affairs.
+Boss And how is this our business?? Why are we even getting involved, Russia isn't the problem we are the problem, all we do is look for problems and Russia is giving us one, Why don't we mind our own business and work on America, that's what i say to myself, who gives a crap what Russia is doing, when Russia is a Mile off the shores of the United States i will start to care about Russia, Until then we are in the wrong period,
Boss You mean please watch CNN and Fox News, Give me a break, We need to stay out of peoples business or this Country is going to fall apart, and being such the Historian you should know that our Constitution clearly states no foreign entanglements, Our Fore Fathers stressed that we are not to get involved and entangled into foreign affairs or Wars, the Constitution says over and over again that we are not to get ourselves involved unless the United States is directly attacked, I think you need to pick up the Constitution and read it sometime it has some pretty good stuff in there,
Boss lol you have to be kidding me right, in section 8, 9, and 10 it most definitely states that any foreign affairs regarding treatys, out posts and or military action is not to happen unless it is agreed upon and passed threw all three branches of Government, While George Washington wrote letters adding to the Constitution saying that we were to stay out of Foreign entanglements and wars that did not directly affect the United States, so read it again, you just want to see what you want to see, that's the problem with this country,Found it, eat your words pal, Section 10, paragraph 3 "No State shall, without the Consent of Congress, lay any Duty of Tonnage, keep Troops, or Ships of War in time of Peace, enter into any Agreement or Compact with another State, or with a foreign Power, or engage in War, unless actually invaded, or in such imminent Danger as will not admit of delay." : Constitution of The United States
Which city has the most casinos and gaming establishments ? Hint : it ain't Vegas baby... Also, you could feed your people Putin, if you and your gang weren't corrupt AF. It's all ego and misguided pride - Put's won't be seen as 'weak'. Ever. It's still 1984. It has always been 1984. It will never not be 1984. They control the transmission.
Everyone is talking, but no ones saying anything... The US is accusing Russia of doing exactly what they are constantly doing all over the world... The utter hypocrisy of the worlds politics is... Impossible to communicate... I'm speechless... This whole episode is a bunch of privileged children taking no responsibility for destroying mankind...
Just use google translator and search different social problem words in russian on youtube and you'll discover how desperate Russia is turning. Many hospitals have no medicine all over russia, thousands of companies did not pay their staffs 3-6 months it is crazy there.
It's not anybody else's fault that Russian is a completely useless language. It would be much smarter to learn Spanish or Mandarin. Even Japanese is a far more practical choice than Russian. Lavrov speaks shit English, by the way. Maria Sharapova is the only Russian who can speak English even halfway decently.
Simon Otroskey is 100% my favorite journalist period on anything But he only has a small lead in another named Isobel Yeung. There are some rare cases where I enjoy Isobel's Moore then Simon only because they both ask very good and tough questions, they attempt to get the story from both sides or unusual views, but Simon asks those questions in more of an "making fun of" kind of way where the question is rhetorical and he knows what you are going to say. When Isobel asks those same tough questions but she will say "so let's flip sides and the roles were reversed do you still think that you are in the right?" But she does it in an aggressive way. Almost like she's attacking your credibility and puts heavy heavy pressure on who she's interviewing. Two different styles of journalism but same loving results.

Is it really that hard to put audio into both of my ear holes?
WRONG! It is broadcast, or recorded, in mono, and so that's all we get as playback. I have a very decent system(8.1 stand-alone surround) and know my settings well, so it's not that.
You might as well tell someone to unplug and plug back in their router, LOL!
I think negative nine is saying that Vice should git güd
double penetration
what the fuck!?! I can't understand your guy's number language!!!!! >.
there's a whole bunch of Chris here
Am I the only one that finds that rebel throwing Molotov's at the Police 7:45, accidentally setting himself on fire hilarious..
nope, me to
It's even funnier cause he doesn't give a fuck: He really must be Russian.
Henrey bradley it's not funny imagine that as Washington D.C or Berlin,Moscow,London,Beijing
ikr
This is why you don't play with fire kids
Ok, they are all Russian volunteers. That I can understand, but how do Russian tanks and helicopters volunteer?
lol good point
They raise their hands. Duh.
A lot of the separatist are former Ukrainian military personnel and veterans from afghan war, chechen wars, and etc.. Not to mention, foreign volunteers and obviously russian tourist..
i guess the moral of the story is try not to attract russian tourist to your country, they might bring tanks with them and take over lol
they capture tanks
So weird listening to Joe Biden make sense and form complete sentences.
LMAO

who the hell encoded this that audio is atrocious
+Bierce88 So it's not just me? My right ear really enjoyed this video.

Shane went from running around Eastern Russia checking out NK camps with a mobster, a Jew, and an ex sheriff to sitting down with the President. FUCK I miss the old VICE, man
Well , nice documentary , But you all have missed the critical point of the arms lobby of the united states and their intense lobby to create wars so as to profit themselves and also give the profit to american senators who are shareholders in it
>refers to Russian Oligarchs
>state run media
>anti-gay violence
true , but what about the parallels we have in western world , paid corporate news media , lobbyists manipulating so called democracies , and finally the Government favour to corporates who contribute generously to enable them to come to power , all this happens in front of our wide open eyes , and yet we blame them
+Rajul Saxena We're not a democracy though? Theres no democratically runned nations. But i agree with you I just consider the lesser of two evils.
I too agree with you , that to consider lesser of the two evils , and not to let our judgement to be swayed by some paid news media
and do u think russia didn't do the same shit??
There is a lot of hate on VICE but they remain the only news source I know of to sit down with so many relevant leaders rather than talking heads. Thank you for the incredible reporting VICE
we will all be dead if trump becomes president
You're not wrong.
We will all be dead
Because Hilary is better?
+APolishPlayer he can have a pony picture if he wants, but if he speaks the truth it will be recognized. I hate brony people, but he is right. Lastly, no one likes Clinton either. We all know that Bernie is the only logical solution. Anyone else will continue pushing against Russia and risk the survival of the planet.
+DarkSideSixOfficial sanders is the only one who's more focused on our own problems for a change unlike others who want to get more involved with foreign countries. it's one of the reasons why many foreigners dislike or even hate the US, we're always trying to get involved, always trying to show how "great" the we are
18:45 as they show smoking and drugs lol vice wow that's pretty mean
kinda self serving if you ask me. it was a reporter from HBO, not cnn, not fox. you wanna be a little prick, you get treated that way. you can't expect to basically threat reporters with guns and have them portray you in a good light.
Still funny tho
+WillXplode the reason they did that is because the pro Russian soldier two seconds later says that nobody smokes or drinks.

Raghunandan Reddy C why can't the truth just be told
lol as if the united states does not have state run media! what a fucking liar!
+randy miller
It's not. However from certain perspectives it may appear to be, since the individuals or groups who own that particular network are powerful lobbyists & have a great interest in politics. So they ultimately determine what type of news and programming gets aired on their network in favor for their agenda and that of the party/politician they support. So when a network airs certain material in favor of one party or to repudiate another, it's really because the owner of the network has special interests tied to "X" party or politician.
when they send news reports direct to a party to be edited and those that speak the truth are fired what u have here is state run media! this is not journalism!

Then it could be offensive to kim and he or she may get angry and come up with a challenge :-
if un then he would challenge both of them in clapping contest &
if kardashian she would probably challenge them in a twerking contest.
because money and power, they or their children wouldn't die on front line so they actually don't give a shit what is happening on conflict zones

MethylX5 you smoke cigarettes, and you drink alcohol dumb ass. Nobody stereotypes Russia for smoking weed and drinking lean
Wtf, are you talking about, moron? The amount of people who smoke cigarettes in Russia and Ukraine is incredibly high. Thus, when the old man says "nobody smokes here", he is talking about smoking drugs.
Bring back old vice pleaseeee

IMHO When Shane Smith does a segment for VICE he does an admirable job. He does so much of a better job at representing multiple sides of an argument, at being a proper journalist and reporter, at presenting facts and letting the viewers think for themselves, and keeping his biases subtle, than ALMOST ALL the other Progressive Liberal hipsters that work at VICE.
So let me get this straight.... The US sets up military bases around the world, more than any other country on planet earth. They have a history of going into South America and now the middle east funding radical Islamic groups to destabilize the governments so they can go in for a power grab and now they are ramping up huge military action at Russia's front door even trying to get even closer by taking over the former soviet country Ukraine? And they call Russia the aggressor who needs to step back? Maybe the US should mind their own business and stop their globalist agenda and their consolidation of power. They mask their aggression with this "freedom" horseshit. Who appointed the US to be the world's decision maker? The US isn't spreading freedom, they don't even want freedom for their own people why would they give "freedom" to anyone else? Every country they touch turns into a chaotic pit of hell. The US is literally trying to take over the globe and they are attacking the last countries who stand up for themselves. "Oh the Russians in Syria!" Who the fuck funded all those "moderate rebels" with weaponry? Who funded the Islamist groups in Afghanistan in the 1980's with surface to air stinger missiles and transported them through Pakistan? The US did along with their Saudi buddies like Osama Bin Laden. They're so full of shit it's unreal, they teach lies in their history books and paint themselves as the moral ones no matter what the situation is.
Yep, just about hit the nail on the head.

I feel like Vice should broadcast this episode for the entire world to watch atleast one more time.
The problem is, let's be hypothetical and pretend everyone in the world did see this no matter their demographic location. Russian citizens would most likely be seeing this for the very first time and would not coincide with everything they are being told by their state-run media outlets and Putin himself. They would be heavily confused and much like we vice versa think that this video was an attempt at using anti propaganda to confuse and turn them against their own country. This is why propaganda no matter who and where you are is a very very dangerous game. On one hand it lies and tries to sway your opinion but on the other hand it can be viewed as anti propaganda against your own government and actually create a much higher sense of nationalism that can be dangerous. It's a vicious cycle
this week on vice... Shane speaks monotone....like a zombie robot....again....
definitely true
+Nick Groth turn it off and head to iranian or russian state tv.

Russian over here. NATO should stop to exist. As Rogozyn put it, NATO is outdated organization, and it was created 70 ago (!!!) to oppose Soviet Union and suppress posible German agression. Now, NATO has more soldiers, more tanks, more weaponary than Russia and it's just amusing when American media tell us about Russian agression. Are we insane or what?? How the hell Russia can oppose world's largest military alliance which is lead by world's economical hegemon?
So, Russia is defending. And one of the ways to defend is to attack, what we see now. All these international problems are from misunderstanding and portraying each side as a devil. We should relax and find a compromise.
+EzioAuditore714 You are adorable. First, I should say that there is a political science called international relations. One of the theories states, that when you're building a wall on your borders and arm yourself with defensive weaponary, that's only make your opponents beyond the wall more hostile and nervous, because they don't know if you are sincere in your peaceful intentions of protecting yourself. They think that you can attack from this wall and then hide, and they don't have ability to strike you back, because you have built a thick wall. This theory discribes why we shouldn't establish anti missile systems, which can demolish other side's nuclear potential. But I think that this theoretical example can be implemented on NATO's enlargement towards our borders. I hope you understand.
Now, let me tell what's going on in my country, alright? I don't know what's on our president mind, but Russia is too weak to restore Sovient Union. And has no intention to do it. Russia just protects its interests, like any other state and has a right to do it.
We have opposition, we have non-state media (god, are you really think that we have only 3 media stations?), which critisize current government, I don't know why do you think we don't have freedom to speak up, really. Nobody is opressed, Russian people have been electing Putin because most of the population like him. It's very simple.
@36:42is that Steven Seagal next to the lady taking a picture lol??
Vice talking shit about Russian Media when actully it self make US propaganda on daily basis.
+Doge Hound Sorry that the truth hurts your little feelings, but that's no reason to call it propaganda.
Purple burd Once Vice was bought by Murdoch it became a Propaganda Chanel, just watch what they doing.
+Doge Hound RT and American news are both full of lies
+Doge Hound
I've heard this a few times now. Is there any actual time that Vice acted as US propaganda, or is your only evidence that Murdoch bought them? I'm not happy about Murdoch, but it seems to be that they've maintained their journalistic integrity. Lots of episodes have been very critical or US foreign policy.
>Baltic States run drills on the border with Russia.
>Russia runs drills on the border with the Baltic States.
"Russians are aggressors!"
Baltic states still have fresh memories of life under Russian rule... A lot of people died... People don't want it to happen again
So when the Baltics do all their cute little military stunts, They expect Russia to just sit there and do nothing? No.
Invader Nik they rolled over and got trampled by Russia for not being "aggressive".
Do you know what Russia did to people? Their hatred is well earned.
+DustyMcDustball5 if not the Soviets, then it would have been the Germans. At least under SOVIET, not Russian rule, the Baltics got to partake in being the first nation to send a man into space etc. since the fall of the USSR, the Baltics have done absolutely nothing noteworthy and blame all their problems on Russia. Also, dont forget that the Baltics werent the only people who suffered under Stalin's rule (who was a Georgian.) Many Russians also died.
Invader Nik k. I'll just tell my grandparents to stop being butthurt about being dead then.
18:43 « When really nobody here drinks or smokes » (shows a Separatist soldier smoking)
When will the world impose sanctions on the US for invading Iraq ? Now I see why Russia and China are joining forces
***** Where do you get your talking points ? Fox News ? Communism and Tyranny didnt slaughter millions of Indians and African Americans.
+Adnan Kashogi That was few hundred years ago fam, and if you still want to blame someone blame Europeans not the current west
+Adnan Kashogi Listen, we totally fucked that up. The lack of repercussions on a national level are a tragic and it's only because we're on top of the pile. I'm not sure how to make that mistake right. However, the "invasion" of Iraq wasn't a war for territory. Most likely financial gain from war profiteering, also Sadam was a monster, but intentions are important when considering military action.
Russia's annexation of Crimea and involvement in Ukraine's civil war seem to be a way of diverting the population away from paying attention to the government. It sounds the old horn of the Soviet Union to those who look to the past, which is an easy way to distract the Russian population from noticing their economy collapsing, their severe isolation from the international community that's been growing since WWII and the outright theft of the country's money into the pocket's of the county's elite. We're kinda fucked here in America too, but the majority of world nations seem to side with us in this conflict. it's important to know when you're the odd man out and to figure out why.

okay brain washed russian slug.

Finally an unbiased video on the issue. Thanks vice.
hahahahahaha
Vice used to be decent. I want a pure-unbiased report on any news story. I don't give a shit what Vice thinks or their opinions on the subject. I want the story and the truth.
Joshua Cheng this is very biased. what's not being mentioned is Russia's involvement in Syrian attacking us bases and flyover of us NAVY ships. Russia's invasion into Georgia. Russia is the problem
The fact that you have people saying that it's biased to make the US look good and other people saying that it's biased to make Russia look good just goes to show that it's relatively unbiased.
Unbiased my ass. Vice like most news outlets has an agenda and unfortunately Vice has lost its way.
How USA would react if Russia would relocate Military Base in Canada and Mexico, but when NATO coming near Russian borders omg its aggresion from Russian part
finebros will sue you
+Doge Hound The difference is Russia has no connection to Canada or Mexico. The Baltic states are NATO associated and largely do not want to be invaded or occupied by Russia much like parts of Ukraine are currently being occupied.
+Doge Hound Hey man I love Russia but Canada is part of NATO. Russia should just join NATO as well.
+CptCanada are u dumb? NATO practically terrorism
+Doge Hound LOL Canada and Mexico are American allies there's no way in your wet dreams Russia could ever have a military base in those countries.
This is first time i have seen admitting any western media person that they are baised too.
Normally every media takes support of region where it belongs that might be US or Russia or even middle east alzazeera media which always support pro Muslim or pro Arab sentiments.
And the real problem is western media influences not only their region but also much larger part of the world due to which in my country (i.e India) people mostly thinks that Russia must have done something very bad due to which sanctions have been put on it without knowing any background.
great job Vice....thats real journalism.
Sorry, I don't see the equivalence of the NATO missile defense system to the Cuban Missile Crisis. One is a nuclear tipped warhead that can wipe out entire cities, and the other is used to deter exactly that from happening. It's a sham argument.
mikeyman2010 most of the arguments being made in the comments are asinine. Like this notion that the US is the aggressor, when the Russians are doing their damnest to annex the Ukraine. The US isn't annexing other countries like Russia is, we're not perfect, but this false equivalency these bots try to draw is a bullshit argument.
Timothy Stadlmueller Пожалуйста предоставьте список стран в которые незаконно военным путем вторгалась США и Россия. И количество смертей из-за военных вторжений каждой из государств. Мне интересно.
Hey, if you punch me I'm going to punch you. Okay let's not punch each other because I don't want to be punched.
If you start trying to tie my hands behind my back, it might be a little suspicious.
The Russians so far have out-foxed the West, They have seized Crimea and annexed it into the Russian Federation in a new style of warfare. They are blunting rebels in Syria but are on the offensive with the Syrians and Iranians in Syria as they encircle Aleppo, they are also making Turkey nervous as the Kurds and Ruso-Syrian alliance are sealing off the border to Turkey from ISIS and other militants. All this as Western agencies speculated that Russia was on a decline.The Russian bear has come out from hibernation.
Hey, it's all thanks to Putin. He plays chess while NATO plays checkers. He's willing to do whatever it takes to increase Russia's power and prestige so that the U.S. will finally acknowledge Russia as a fellow Great Power, as well as recognizing all that that entails, such as spheres of influence. The U.S. considers all of the Americas to be within our sphere of influence, but we act as if the Ukraine is not within the Russian sphere of influence.
+Patrick Dodds The US will recognize China as a "fellow Great Power" before Russia. Russia simply isn't going to be a superpower again for quite some time -- they are only a regional power. Neither their economy nor military is strong enough. Even ignoring how the Russian economy is struggling, it was never all that large to begin with. Meanwhile, the Russian military lacks the capabilities to project power like the US can. The airstrikes in Syria are already pushing Russia's logistical limits.
+Cosmo1093 militarily Russia is very strong, and can project power if they needed too, it just costs money something they are not willing to spend without a good reason.
You know Russia has a draft they could have 50 million soldiers ready in 2 days to be deployed, while it would take USA a year to get as many.
This of course if no nukes are used and even in this department Russia is doing better, their is a reason why the pentagon upgraded Russia as 2 most threat to USA after ISIS a not china.
Never underestimate Russian military, they always seem weak in the beginning but when the fighting starts like a bear you are in big trouble.
World E "and can project power if they needed too" -- Only on a regional scale, not a global scale. Practically speaking, global power projection requires a blue water navy and aircraft carriers. Russia hasn't had that capability since the fall of the USSR. To that end, France and the UK can more effectively project power than Russia.
"it just costs money something they are not willing to spend without a good reason." -- Russia can't even be bothered to spend the money on guided munitions. They're still dropping general-purpose unguided bombs over populated areas of Syria, sometimes even from helicopters. It's hardly an improvement over Assad's "barrel bombs".
"Russia as 2 most threat to USA after ISIS a not china." -- Yes, and that is because Russia and ISIS are being more belligerent to the US/NATO than China is. China has been antagonizing its neighbors in the South China Sea, but they haven't been threatening European nations with nukes or other "military consequences".
"You know Russia has a draft they could have 50 million soldiers ready in 2 days to be deployed" -- That's hilarious. Can you even comprehend the equipment, logistics, and training required to turn 50 million draftees into soldiers? The entire Warsaw Pact at its height lacked that sort of capability. Russia has massive stockpiles of weapons and vehicles, but that equipment requires a lot more than 2 days to bring out of storage.
World E "they were never about sea warfare" -- In the 21st century, a blue water navy is more about power projection than naval warfare. It is how militaries are able to project power on a global scale in the absence of nearby resources or runways. For example, Russia wouldn't be able to carry out bombing missions in Syria without establishing that airbase in Syria, but the US and France can still launch from their carriers. That kind of capability is what separates regional powers from global powers, and is why the USSR had invested in a blue water navy and several aircraft carriers of its own.
"But they got a very good submarine fleet that can wipe out most of the US navy if they had too." -- The fundamental reason Russia and China have to rely on asymmetrical tactics is because it can't compete with the US otherwise. It's the only way they can hope to counter a global superpower.
"I was talking about how the draft has already trained 50 million soldiers." -- That's great, but you still need to arm, equip, feed, and move them. Numbers are irrelevant without the logistics to support them. Unarmed and starving soldiers aren't particularly useful. Logistics are how wars are won or lost.
And on the note of logistics, Russia's bombing campaign in Syria is already stretching the Russian military thin. They've had to buy 4 horribly obsolete cargo ships from Turkey in order to sustain their mission in Syria.
"but if they really wanted too they could do as they have the resource to do so." -- Not without spending a completely unsustainable amount of their GDP to completely overhaul their military.

What a great piece of objective and informative journalism. Thank you, Vice.
This is such a great historical piece.
Steven Segal spotted with Russia's former UN ambassador 36:40
36:41 Steven seagal?
Yea I'm pretty sure that's him
Yeah it definitely is him, there's pictures of him with Putin and at this event online but I think he's there because he's an EX CIA black ops operative fled to Russia because he was framed for a crime he didn't commit.
Edward Smith I was just gonna say that's my boy Steven from Russia with love
Edward Smith
Cipta Cambo lmao we all know Seagal is a joke and a fraud
WTF is Steven Seagal doing in Russia
Lmaooo I thought that was him
Americans blame Putin for Murder?
Henry kissinger should be in jail for supporting the Military Junta. So should Dick cheney, Bush and Rumsfeld for Iraq invasion where they found no WMD.
How is a defence system that protects cities from nukes comparable to the deployment of nukes to blow cities up? The US wants to put a defensive missile system in eastern europe to protect eastern europe from nukes and this is viewed as an act of aggression?
thats what im saying! thank you
Nukes itself are an element of defense because if you don't have them you get bitched around like how with Syria, Libya, Iraq, and Yugoslavia, Russia is not gonna attack for no reason and when you put the shields you encourage Russia to develop more sophisticated weapons, there needs to be a balance of power and expanding NATO is not helping, how would you feel if Russia started to build missile defense shields in Canada and Mexico because following your logic its for pure defense and why not, not to mention the fact that the missile shields use the same rockets to not only destroy incoming projectiles but as an offensive weapon
***** I wouldn't have a problem with Russia deploying a defense shield.
+thatsnotagoodidea It is viewed as an act of aggression simply because it diminishes or defeats the MAD principle. The MAD principle is what kept WW3 from happening already(some believe) because if everyone believes you can't win, then no one will fight(a nuclear war).
+thatsnotagoodidea But man, if you wear bullet proof vests you are making my bullets less dangerous and that scares the shit out of me.
Stop calling it Cold War 2. NATO has a Firm stance that forces in Europe are reassurance against possible separatism extremists and Russia isn't considered a threat. There is no Cold War. Just reassurance.
It's still the same one
+DarkSideSixOfficial Checked the pentagon's report recently? Compared to their report in 2001? Mm. Probably not.
Would the U.S. risk nuclear war with Russia to protect Estonia? Or Lithuania? Or Latvia? I know that I wouldn't want us to, and many Americans don't either. That's not much reassurance for the Baltic states, or other small states with Russian minorities, especially if those minorities have been mistreated, and as such are dissatisfied. If Putin sent the Russian army into Estonia using the casus belli of protecting Russian minorities, do you think the U.S. would truly treat it as if Russia had invaded sovereign U.S. territory (as the NATO treaty claims we must treat it)? I'm surprised that Putin hasn't done it yet. Maybe he's waiting for the next election to show how strong he is to the Russian people, idk.
+Patrick Dodds Just look at the process of how that event would start. Russia would definitely overrun the Baltic states but with consequences. Then NATO would begin their build up to liberate it. It will come down to the theater of war. As long as US or Russia don't attack each others territory I don't think it'll escalate into a nuclear war. But then again it'll come down to who ever is loosing what desperate measures would they take.
+dlow53 +Patrick Dodds That would be a nuclear war. Russia entering NATO states. Its in the rule book...
Didn’t Obama make fun of Romney when he said that Russia was the greatest threat?
... A surprisingly objective an unbiased documentary from Vice.
Lt. Col. Tormod Heier? More like Standartenfuhrer Hans Landa.
As a former Army Veteran who was in 2CR. I find it hilarious they are asking a captain from 2CR about the "bigger picture" expecting him to have a single clue what it is. 😂
Dear Earth
When you look at America don't point to Fox News or Bill o reily
the doomsday clock is so hoaky. not sure how it could be "calculated"
Its like the Congressional Clock , never gets it right.
Where is Doctor Manhattan?
Hes on Mars
it's a crapshoot..🤔
HOW OLD ARE YOU?
Just thought of watching this now a day before it aired 6 years ago…Wow
My right ear enjoyed this video.
2019 and nothing lol i dont think the doomsday clock works
#45 and his cronies have sold out United States of America to Putin. Sad sad days are ahead.
Tru... smh
7:50 Did he just catch himself on fire? lol
03:40 idk why but i got goosebumps lol
Give Obama another Nobel peace prize. He effectively destroyed it. Quite objective episode anyway.
thank god we have trump now
he will reconcile USA with Russia
I don't think Eastern Ukraine is Ukrainian anymore. Not only do they want to be part of Russia, Ukrainian government can't even feed their OWN PEOPLE. They can;t provide, and the Ukrainian nation, one with a rich history and culture, is being choked by corrupt officials that would put Russian "scandals" to shame.
Russia, and Putin by extension, not only want some buffer area, they also want to help former Russian Citizens that would need services that neither the Separatists or the Ukrainian Government can give.
Russia can't feed its own people either. As far as corruption, they're about the same on the World Corruption Index. About as corrupt as many African countries.
@@bonson9156 Russia has around 20% of poor population. USA has around 15% of poor population who can't afford food. Russia survived the collapse of USSR in 1991, economic default in 1998, two civil wars in Chechnya, and since 2014 is under heavy sanctions. it is understandable why Russia has 20% of poor people. But can you explain why USA has 15%?! USA was lucky country to avoid WW2 on it's soil. USA gathered 62% of world's GDP because of WW2. Since 1991 USA even has no geopolitical rivals. Why USA has close to Russia percentage of poor people?!
Fedor Evdokimenko fax this video just pissed me off how America is representing us
wow, this is literally the first time in 8 years that I have heard Joe Biden sound even slightly intelligent.
Watching someone born during the 80s talk about the intensity of the Cold War. In ten years, will we have someone born in 2000 tell us what 9/11 was like?
Gotta to love the troops on the ground saying random bs justifications. "Lol I'm just here the have fun, play in the snow."
36:41 Steven Seagal, is that you?
21:21 - in Ukraine, Baltic statelets, Armenia, Azerbaijan with their Karabakh ethnic war and many others there are no "nations". Just tribes and ethnic grups who are alien and often hostile to each other. Washington and Brussels simply labels one tribe as "titular" and another one as "minority" and then gives to "titulars" all support to crush down the rest. That is their "democracy". That is the root case for Ukrainian conflict.
That was very telling when the Lithuanian SF guy said the Russian know they have the "very strong will" to fight." He knows they can't win a fight with Russia.
I have to say this was a pretty bad piece, 42 minutes and all they did was let each side parrot their position without question lending to the idea that each side's point carried equal merit. There isn't really a debate here, Russia's aggressiveness led to the situation in Ukraine and the heightened tensions between the West. Also, the so called "golden era" of the 90's is a lie the only reason Russia wasn't hostile to the West back then was because their economy was in shambles and they were focusing still on how to feed themselves. By the time Putin came back into power Russia had regained economic and military strength and was thus able to reassert itself within political/international affairs.
+Boss And how is this our business?? Why are we even getting involved, Russia isn't the problem we are the problem, all we do is look for problems and Russia is giving us one, Why don't we mind our own business and work on America, that's what i say to myself, who gives a crap what Russia is doing, when Russia is a Mile off the shores of the United States i will start to care about Russia, Until then we are in the wrong period,
+Digital Bullet I don't have time to spell out how ridiculous and naive a notion what you just suggested is. Please, read a history book.
Boss You mean please watch CNN and Fox News, Give me a break, We need to stay out of peoples business or this Country is going to fall apart, and being such the Historian you should know that our Constitution clearly states no foreign entanglements, Our Fore Fathers stressed that we are not to get involved and entangled into foreign affairs or Wars, the Constitution says over and over again that we are not to get ourselves involved unless the United States is directly attacked, I think you need to pick up the Constitution and read it sometime it has some pretty good stuff in there,
+Digital Bullet I think you have never actually read the Constitution since it does not state such a proposition in any way, at all.
Boss lol you have to be kidding me right, in section 8, 9, and 10 it most definitely states that any foreign affairs regarding treatys, out posts and or military action is not to happen unless it is agreed upon and passed threw all three branches of Government, While George Washington wrote letters adding to the Constitution saying that we were to stay out of Foreign entanglements and wars that did not directly affect the United States, so read it again, you just want to see what you want to see, that's the problem with this country,Found it, eat your words pal,
Section 10, paragraph 3
"No State shall, without the Consent of Congress, lay any Duty of Tonnage, keep Troops, or Ships of War in time of Peace, enter into any Agreement or Compact with another State, or with a foreign Power, or engage in War, unless actually invaded, or in such imminent Danger as will not admit of delay." : Constitution of The United States
Which city has the most casinos and gaming establishments ?
Hint : it ain't Vegas baby...
Also, you could feed your people Putin, if you and your gang weren't corrupt AF.
It's all ego and misguided pride - Put's won't be seen as 'weak'. Ever.
It's still 1984. It has always been 1984. It will never not be 1984. They control the transmission.
Um people in Russia aren't starving...
This was extremely educational. Thank you Vice!
This an incredible documentary. I loved Vice documentaries from 2012 to 2016. Shane Smith did a great job in this one.
This aged well
I've never heard Putins voice before this, so I expected it to be a deep russian voice.
How wrong was I
Anyone know the song in 4:03 Im trying to find the name for this russian orchestra song

wtf no one notice steven seagal****
Everyone is talking, but no ones saying anything... The US is accusing Russia of doing exactly what they are constantly doing all over the world... The utter hypocrisy of the worlds politics is... Impossible to communicate... I'm speechless... This whole episode is a bunch of privileged children taking no responsibility for destroying mankind...
Intercepted message from Intergallactic Space Communications..
" HUMANS SUCK "......
Yep Russia's weak.... WW3 is a myth.... Yeppee skipppy....
D Devo I'm from the land of sarcasm.
Just use google translator and search different social problem words in russian on youtube and you'll discover how desperate Russia is turning. Many hospitals have no medicine all over russia, thousands of companies did not pay their staffs 3-6 months it is crazy there.
Russia's weak? Tell me how many Americans speak English as well as Sergey Lavrov? Maybe .00001% Let alone speak Russian
It's not anybody else's fault that Russian is a completely useless language. It would be much smarter to learn Spanish or Mandarin. Even Japanese is a far more practical choice than Russian.
Lavrov speaks shit English, by the way. Maria Sharapova is the only Russian who can speak English even halfway decently.
Your an idiot. Not only that you are causuing problems in this world by continuing to be such take it in the ass, pushover.
Still my favorite person to report literally anything going on in the world.
Simon Otroskey is 100% my favorite journalist period on anything But he only has a small lead in another named Isobel Yeung. There are some rare cases where I enjoy Isobel's Moore then Simon only because they both ask very good and tough questions, they attempt to get the story from both sides or unusual views, but Simon asks those questions in more of an "making fun of" kind of way where the question is rhetorical and he knows what you are going to say. When Isobel asks those same tough questions but she will say "so let's flip sides and the roles were reversed do you still think that you are in the right?" But she does it in an aggressive way. Almost like she's attacking your credibility and puts heavy heavy pressure on who she's interviewing. Two different styles of journalism but same loving results.
