@@daydays12 It's difficult to get past the inteminable and incompetent introduction, and then it's a disappointment to be confronted with a genuinely horrifically bad recording.
@@TheDavidlloydjones agree about the intro, yikes! But some of the rest is interesting.. a little difficult to understand because of the recording I agree.
The comment made by person who ignored the Great Famine committed by Russian government, which caused the millions of innocent Ukrainians to die bu hunger. Such people probably don't have a heart.
Western intelligentia were quite complicit in this. Look up Walter Duranty from The New York times, as one example. A good book that touches on this is the opium of the intellectuals by Raymond Aron.
It was five years ago and Anne Applebaum says she can't compare Putin to Stalin. But she did explain how Putin's and Stalin's views on Ukraine are similar.
VERY TRUE....yet it was the social democrats in the UK PM Clem Atlee & George Orwell who did more than anyone to make people understand the Reds were in essence the same as the Nazis .. Nazis who the UK Conservative party appeased & the UK Right ran from and tried isolationism
Well, if you read the book as I have (Not bragging) you might be able to at least understand why she may be a warhawk in some cases. I read it quickly once and then again, thoroughly with markups everywhere.
Tremendous pity that there it remains a struggle to raise awareness about this genocide. Appreciate the upload!
Amazed how few how watched
Yes. Disappointing. It's very important subject and Ms Applebaum is an erudite speaker.

That intro was extensive! I really enjoyed listening to the audiobook of Red Famine
Veyr polite way of referring to the introduction.!
So bad Ukraine

Holy moly she is propagandized/fanatic 😲 We cannot expect any Science from this neo-con woman.
What does "neo-con" mean do you think? Who has Anne Applebaum 'been 'propagandized' by?
Exactly. Warmongering neocon trash married to Sikorski. Not biased in the least...
