This interview did not age well😂😂😂
It's just standard lowbrain western propaganda. zzzzz
Boy this didn’t age well…
Putin is kickin our asses! LoL
its does seem true in every words
that's exactly the ground truth is in communist regime. there's a state in india which was ruled for 40 years by communist party. for them party was everything everything else is collateral. until a lady leader threw them out of the governance.
Twisted half truths and in-your-face deceit.
Well well... doesn't look like this lie is aging very well.
I grew up in the Eastern block and the way this gentleman describes life of that time is so spot on.
Where did you grow up in?

Bullshit
Victoria Nuland’s 2013 speech she revealed that since 1991 the U.S. had spent $5 billion to help bring about Ukraine’s “aspirations.”
Part of the $5 billion the U.S. spent was to help organize protests.
February 4th 2014 National Endowment for Democracy board member and then Assistant Secretary of State for European and Eurasian Affairs Victoria Nuland.
(Nudelman)
The National Endowment for Democracy (NED),
which funds NGOs in countries the U.S. targets for regime change, had bankrolled 65 projects in Ukraine totaling more than $20 million.
(NED) is funded primarily by an annual allocation from the the US Congress. (NED) received $300 million in 2021, from US taxpayers.
The NED is Founded by
Allen Weinstein and Carl Gershman who worked at B'nai B'rith and officer of the Young People’s Socialist League (YPSL), youth arm of the Socialist Party of America.
These (Neocons) are the same people who in the last 30 years champion the U.S. to fight wars in Serbia, Afghanistan, Iraq, Syria, Libya.
America military leaders have warned us about this;
“Rootless cosmopolitans”
we have a huge problem with a class of so-called elites, the people who are wealthy, very wealthy in many cases and they are, as the Russians used to call certain individuals many, many years ago, rootless cosmopolitans.”, they have no connection to the country.
One of very few people who did their homework! NED and ISW, the, seemingly, are very different, have the origins in the same circles.
There are so many parallels it is quite impossible that they aren't connected.
What do Nancy Kagan (the founder of ISW, AKa Victoria Nuland's brother in-law's wife), Victoria Nulkand (AKA The Cookie Lady, also known for her middle name: F..k the EU), Jennnet Yellen, Anthony Blinken, UK's MoD Schapps, Zelenski, Yermak........ , have in common?
You can't create a popular mass protest movement by just throwing money at people.
If it was true that the US could create massive popular anti-government protests out of the aether that would overthrown the government why would they be doing it in Ukraine instead of Russia?
DARPA actually looked into this as a possibility in the 60s, called "Project Camelot". This was a failure. They tried to find "brainwashing" techniques with MK Ultra because they couldn't understand why Americans ended up supporting communism etc. and believed that the USSR and China had discovered a way to "program" the human mind (this was a result of a moral blindspot or really blindness given that these were the same people who were doing stuff like torturing Patrice Lumumba to death etc. and didn't see anything wrong with it). This is all Men Staring at Goats nonsense, it doesn't work, people need a reason to hit the streets, risk arrest, beatings, death etc. and a few hundred bucks or some sandwiches is not going to cut it.
I really enjoy that you believe that the Socialist Party of America has a hold on the US government or is part of the neocon establishment. This is the party of Eugene V. Debbs, founder of the IWW, who campaigned on an anti-war platform during WWI and was arrested during his campaign under the sedition act for his opposition to the war (and continued his campaign from jail).
As for the antisemitism, it's the anticapitalism of fools, trying to understand systemic problems in the world and coming up with a facile explanation "bad people control the world", a half-truth that is worse than a lie and leads people like you continuously tilting at windmills with your crackpot conspiracies in TH-cam comment sections.
Thank you very much for the info. Much appreciated.
@@fifi23o5 .. They are Jews. That aside, it is more important that we focus on their political side, not sosio ethnically. They are Neocons. We have to look toward economic/politics motivation. If you want to read something that can explain where 'the deep state' got its money, you should read the book 'Gold Warriors: America's Secret Recovery of Yamashita's Gold by Peggy Seagrave'. It is still active today. This is the foundation of the American political system & foreign policy. If not stopped, it will kill us all.
and a big part of organizing protests in Ukraine was the CIA training and arming nazi militias in that country

FRONTLINE: These interviews are OUTSTANDING!! Thank you SO MUCH!
I am a Russian American, I was 12 and part of Communist youth movement when the Soviet Union fell apart. Then there was chaos and I grew up in it. Most of what Americans hear about USSR is propaganda and vice versa (Russian propaganda is strong too), somewhere in the middle there is the truth. What this man is saying is fairly accurate, based on my recollection of living through the fall of the USSR. During the early 90s there was so much murder and so much crime in Russia, it was hell.
Bro I live in Russia right now and I can tell you the quality of life here is higher than most of the metropolitan cities in the USA which is where I'm originally from LOL. Traditional values and great places to take my children. Russia is very good.
My heart goes out to the Russian and Ukrainian citizens right now with Putin’s invasion of Ukraine Russian soldiers who are forced to be in their military are being killed for no other reason than Putin’s desire to reinstall the Soviet Union. If you have family there I hope they stay safe.

People in the West are in a complete vacuum, all alternative information has been cleaned out, what is beneficial to your government is being served, the situation in Ukraine is not the same as your media draw, you live and look into a "crooked mirror" that distorts everything that is happening, I advise you, you need to look for an alternative, look for independent publications, information in the media to find out at least some truth.And I also want to ask a question to your media, journalists.1- why do you publish news only from the Ukrainian side?Why don't you come to the settlements where the Russian troops and the troops of the People's Republics are stationed, you don't talk to the residents of the territories liberated from the Nazi battalions, and they have something to tell you.2. why don't you come to Russia and talk to the millions of refugees who escaped the bombing of the Kiev regime and found refuge in Russia.3- why don't you show stories about how the Russian army delivers tons of humanitarian aid to Ukraine, rescues civilians from bombing by Ukrainian troops, the Azov regiment - real Nazis who do not spare anyone, it is profitable for them to kill more civilians and concoct a fake, a picture for the Western media, a living example of "Butch", it has long been proven that this is a hoax, there is evidence that it was done by the Ukrainian special services, but they will not show them to you.Journalists, come to Ukraine, but not to the western part, but to its eastern part, where people in the territories liberated from the Nazis will tell you a lot of interesting facts, come to Russia and talk to refugees from Ukraine.People are looking for an alternative, everything is not so one-sided, as you are told!The troops of the Ukrainian army have been killing people in the east of Ukraine for 8 years, children are dying, your media are silent!Putin came to put an end to this war, to stop the killing of people by the Kiev regime, thousands of adults and hundreds of children were killed, these are people who did not support the coup d'etat and European integration in Ukraine, first Poroshenko, now Zelensky, decided to destroy these people.And it is.

I wish Eisenhower could see where we ended up.
I'm sure he could've guessed.
It would kill him. All that sacrifice. For this?
Remember growing up in the 80s when conservative absolutely hated Russia! To see what the GOP/MAGA base has came to would have St. Ronny Reagan rolling over in his grave!!!"
Ike must be rolling hard in his grave. He warned us about the military industrial complex and the CIA, Kennedy listened and was killed for listening and then his brother listened and was killed for listening and then everyone seemed to stop listening and forgot Ike's warning.
I met a Russian, in the 90's, he was amazing, and full of stories of what it was like in the Soviet Union, he told me he was actually scared of us, from all the stories he was told, and I said I was told all sorts of stuff as well, but on the whole Ivan, was just another man, not a monster, but a cool human being, who deserves a chance to be successsful, and happy, like what we all want for ourselves, but unfortunately, since he was Russian, nobody wanted to hire him for what he trained for, in Engineering, worried he may be a spy, he was planning on going back to Russia, and continue his life, knowing that this was a wonderful country, unlike anything he'd been told about us!
We here in America have all been brainwashed about Russians the truth is they are very good honest people and the truth is the USA has been controlled by evil leaders and liars , here's one for you my friend in 1917 when the Russians were forced into communism there were secretly powerful people from America who were a big part of putting them under such a terrible government true story we were responsible for what we were told is evil ? And Putin knows all about it ?
@@frankgiustiniani1463 we had nothing to do with the Communist Revolution. What did transpire was ineptitude in the monarchy and an overthrow of that. We had no influence on the broken Russian Empire, the German Empire, Prussia, or anyone else in Central or Eastern Europe until well after WW1. There was no secret NWO cabal to control the planet. And there isn't one today.
Unless you're implying that Lenin was an American agent gone rouge.
Just what I mean. America did use to be a wonderful and beautiful country. It's all the illegals and rotten native legals that betrayed her us that have put Us our precious now delicate America in its current condition and it's a totally horrific ASSAULT on her us our America frankly is just no less than crying out how can these ungraetfuls just nothing less than be just selling me out!

@Munk I don't think they meant that. I think they meant the illegal immigration. I don't know anybody right or left that wouldn't agree that illegal immigration is a huge problem and that it must be stopped so that US can put it's resources i.e. our money, towards Americans of all colors and creeds that need the support. There are many Americans HERE that need resources and money is finite. There isn't enough money to support all the Americans that need help and all the people of other nations that illegally come here. Unless you would like a communist state as this video discusses, and just as this video alludes to, it does not redistribute the wealth but rather redistributes the property. So if you insist on no borders, that is what you get. I don't know a nation in the world that does not enforce their borders. "Snowflake?" Yes, the snowflakes usually loathe border security, and tend to like to promote as much chaos as possible in hopes of reaching a socialist state that gives way to Communism
5 years later... In the meantime all the truth came out and we can only ask ourselves did he tell all these lies because he was paid or because he was just a naive ignorant? Or maybe something else? Thanks for keeping online these videos so that we can refresh our memories of what narratives were circulating at that time.
You are spot on 🎯
Tell all these lies ? What you yapping about blud?
@@user-hf9fr8se3f do you even know that the guy who invented the Russia collusion stories admitted that was all fake? That Hillary staff guy I don't remember the name. And this is just one example. It all came out. The question is where were you to miss it all??
@@user-hf9fr8se3f everything in this video is a lie
according to FBI investigations and congressional testimoney
nothing in here is true
the opposite is actually true, the russians were trying to help the DNC
all of this is made up to manipulate the gullible liberals
Bill Binney told the truth about the Russian hack of the DNC computer. Data was transferred internally and taken out of the building. Guess that’s why the FBI refuses to release the file on a certain young who was caught up in a “robbery gone bad’. And when they do after 75 years it will be so heavily redacted won’t be readable.

Basically
Hats off to president Putin. I respect any leader that can pull the country out of the abyss of destruction!!!
By visiting destruction on other people? What a disgusting comment. Any number of "good" (good for whom?) decisions (based on self-interest and fear) do not justify a marauding psychotic's invasion of a sovereign nation and the indiscriminate MURDER of innocent civilians in Ukraine, or anywhere, to prove his strength. Putin's actions in Crimea, in Ukraine, present a clear challenge: accept his arrogant show of force and tell the world that force, not the rule of law, is what matters, or respond in a way that leaves no doubt that his actions put the entire world in peril. His actions must elicit a strong and united response from all those who believe in justice, and thankfully, Biden and other nations have made this response. You should be ashamed to state publicly that you support him.
He (they) created the chaos, first, plundered the country, robbed its citizens, and then "saved" it, becoming insanely rich.
Typical "heroes" of the ignorant fools. 😏
David Hoffman is a dreamer
He's an imbecile.

Hailing from Czechia. Good work. I also appreciate `I dont know` answers.
Its how we know he’s being honest in what he himself understands and doesn’t understand. He could be like “this is a fact.” When in fact it’s a supposition. It really is refreshing.
1:12:20 wasn’t intended to tear Russia 🇷🇺 apart… but we have it in our doctrine and millitary strategy to bulkanize Russia into many little rival states.

The talk about the Soviet Union in the 1980s mirrors a paper I wrote in college. I took a class comparing capitalism, communism, and socialism from the standpoint of economics, management, and workforce development. For an electrical engineer, that was a weird elective class to take. My grandfather was a hardcore socialist/communist. I wanted to understand all of these things more than just from the nightly news of us vs them. Iirc, I called the paper, “the coming economic downturns of the Soviet Union” where I argued that they were going to see an economic downturn worse than the Great Depression in the US. The guy teaching it had been in the state department in the early Reagan administration. He thought I was too negative about the prospects of the ussr. A few years later, I ended up being not negative enough.

Coming from an Asian country and living in US really made me understand that we have entirely different mindsets about democracy and US intentions. My own country, which has strong ties with Putin and faith in his system and power always interpreted political or economic problems as something to do with US. That US is surreptiriously steering the events behind the scene. Like he says information war is a true thing that change the outcome of elections drastically. Many in Asia, especially countries like India and Sri Lanka are quite good at using Putins tool box in diverging Socio-economic and political flow.
The only ones engaged in an information war are the Americans and their cheap and stupid "allies".

But not the U.S.😂 That's why Obama signed this??? Smith-Mundt Act prohibited the U.S. Department of State and the Broadcasting Board of Governors (BBG) from disseminating government-produced programming within the United States over fears that these agencies would “propagandize” the American people. However, in 2013, Congress abolished the domestic dissemination ban, which has led to a heated debate about the role of the federal government in free public discourse.

Thanks yet again for the interview.My entire understanding of any kind of Russian behaviour founders on the assumption they experience power the way we do,and I'm Canadian which is a socialistic society comfortable in a corporate capitalist culture.If I'm hearing Mr. Hoffman right they do not have any of these restraints.My question is not so much what happens with Putin but what happens after him?
There are two streams in Russia predominately (87%) Jewish Oligarchs that are pro-western and military-intelligence that is pro Asian! Hopefully, and all indication point to (Medvedev is a goner because of his weak response in UNSC when Libya was destroyed to dust, most prosperous and rich country in North Africa) it will be someone from DoD or FSB/SVR. Currently Sergei Shoigu is leading, but anything can happen in next 5-6 years! Even a termonuclear war!
Oligarchs must taxated, some of "their" property they illegaly gained should be nationalized and some players put in prison! Putin started great, he did all those things and exiled Oligarchs to London! Unfortunately he did not finish the job entirely!

Thanks for being Honest!!
haha
David Hoffmann’s commentary on Putin and the USSR is very interesting and probably very well informed, although I am totally unable to assess the latter.
Aaron Maté is a journalist and producer. He hosts Pushback with Aaron Maté on The Grayzone. In 2019, Maté was awarded the Izzy Award (named after I.F. Stone) for outstanding achievement in independent media for his coverage debunking Russiagate in The Nation magazine. In other words, everything David Hoffman is saying about Russiagate is false.
Correct, of course.
Mr Hoffman obviously has an agenda. His bias and inaccuracies stick out like a sore thumb....
Very enlightened dialogue. So refreshing. But so so sad to have such shallow pointless disharmony and conflict between nations. The essence is failure to take from private life out into one’s working life, the same standards of care that one offers oneself, one’s family and one’s friends.
Ppp
Very interesting. Thank you.
V Ling - how would YOU feel and react to living in an atmosphere such as you speak of?
I get so disgusted at the comments some of you folks make, speaking as though you have and face these situations that OUR president does.
You are no more effective in changing our government from your armchairs than you are in changing the plays and final score of the Super Bowl!
If you REALLY want to make changes in our government, GET INVOLVED BY VOTING INTELLIGENTLY!
I agree, friend,but the key word is 'intelligently'. Our present American collective mind,in my opinion,is rotted out,purposefully,on conspiracy theories - to the point where almost half don't know what or who to believe or can discern plain reality. Our schools are failing to teach not what to think but how to think. They need to bear down on critical thinking,Deductive Logic, Political Science,History and journalistic integrity.
And Religion... Fellow Christian... Blessings friends
Robert Ferguson No, none of the things just mentioned, which relate to ACTUAL REALITY, have anything to do with religion.
Wayne Dombrowski ...
Yes, the point you bring up is important.
Putin tried using propaganda to provide his side of the story. That wasn't successful, so he changed his strategy, and began promoting dozens of crazy, often self-contradictory, wildly divergent fake news items. These were successful in getting people to throw up their hands and say:
I've done my best to research this and find the truth, but it is impossible to sort out what the truth IS. It is just too confusing.
If any religion chooses to get involved in politics, it is no longer qualified as a "non-profit" organization, and needs to be licensed, regulated and TAXED exactly like any other corporation that includes lobbying in its activities.
I learned so much from this interview ... it really connects the dots. Thank you so much.
Emily Corwith no you didn't learn anything you were just brainwashed.
*EMILY, ORDERED PERSPECTIVES ADD TO HUGE U.S.A. FREE PRESS NEWS = WE GET BEST INFORMED CHOICE. LMAO, RED'S=NO CHOICE.* CRY @ USA = #TRUMPUTIN TROLL ARMY ATTACKS. WHO'$ WHO, IN RED-KING'S-CHAO$?
emily corwith, i agree, completely. i'm an old cold-war soldier and reviewing all of frontline's; PUTIN FILES. the world sees and despises this little parasite-dictator.
altitude illume - it’s pretty obvious that you have never been in Russia. You believe everything you hear from the MSM. Had you travelled more in your life you would realize that people around the world are the same. It’s just governments that differ. These Putin File videos are nothing but popular propaganda aimed at the sheeple. Try to get out more, your attitude might improve.
Emily Corwith - right, now you’ve heard everything from an American perspective. Please try to listen to the Russian perspective before rushing to judgement. You may find the dots don’t quite connect the way you want them to. Hoffman is definitely guilty of the sins of omission.
David Hoffman is a great author. I highly recommend his books - 'The Oligarchs', 'The Dead Hand', 'The Billion Dollar Spy', 'Give Me Liberty' - all of them engrossing pieces of non-fiction.
Excellent interview.
This interview is really interesting in light of recent events.
Hello dear, how are you doing today, I hope everything is good today 😊
I've watched more than half of these interviews. So far, no Putin supporters as far as I can tell. Were any approached?
The only "public" praising of Putin that i'm aware of came from Trump.
Its sooo slanted, the whole 2nd half, accepting US/NATO $ feeling "like charity" Nah, Putin was smart on Global elite & NWO. He was a nationalist not multiculturalist ×10. Just sooo many things, slanted by our Gov inserts. Putin & *many Russians would laugh at this propaganda peice
@@carter_1 That KGB gangster, Putin, is still weeping over the fall of his beloved "Soviet Union".
I suppose it is fair to let the criminals tell their versions of the crimes.
But most of that information can't be released until after all the prosecutions are complete.
There’s plenty of pro-Putin media out there if you want to find it. Much of it is state-sponsored propaganda tho.
Yes, the Yeltsin family looked for someone who would look the other way at all the wealth acquired being in control. A back room deal.
Oh yes, never thought about that, that was probably the case.

Hello dear, how are you doing today, I hope everything is good today 😊
I used to look for Mr Hoffman's article 20 years ago I learned a lot from him he is unbelievably great
This interview just convinced me that whole this time USA is like a Sith empire and Russia is like Rebellion.
What is great about him when from interview you clearly see that US was doing everything to damage Russia, and whenever caught he downplays it like it was misinterpreted by Putin.
US owes Putin for those Hillary mails because she is a criminal.
He is unbelievably delusional and believes no nation should have self-determination except the US and its European servants.
The description of Yeltsin as a bear with periods of withdrawal followed by great energy is a classic description of bipolar disorder. It would explain to a point the excessive drinking beyond the culture of drinking.
That is a very astute observation. Bipolar disorder can be better controlled in 2022 and also better diagnosed once symptons can be established. Certainly in Russia, that disorder was not well known.
Bipolar disorder is just the way for the weak and selfish people to show how its important to be them cause they are able to feel different things and everybody must care. Here in real life we tell them to shut up and feel whatever they want somewhere else.

Very interesting, good story teller. easy to follow.
When’s he going to apologize for being wrong? 🤔
......now, we both know his ego would never permit that.....
The knowledge the speaker holds is something I've don't think I've ever seen. When the war started - I posted a comment on some youtube video about the invasion. I've kept posting it on several videos, with small changes. It summarizes my view on the war - and on its initiator - from perspective of a 40 year old mostly apolitical guy (I mean, I'm not in any parties and don't plan to) living in Latvia. I'm getting more and more afraid of how many western researchers of Russia have expressed themselves along the same lines - and how still, nothing much - apart from Ukrainians bearing the brunt themselves - is being done. The comment reads as follows (I've been countered with lots of trolls - but they mostly "muddy the waters" - as this speaker says - because, in contrary to 2014, they know that primitive direct lies can be taken down by the platform holder). ESPECIALLY THE LAST QUESTION I ask causes me certain amount of fear and anxiety.
What the world needs to understand - and can't seem to, so far - is that Putin is a sick ego maniac the scale of which the world has not seen since Hitler and Stalin. Of course - there are people like Idi Ammin, Muamar Gadaffi, Sadam Hussein and many more in terms of disregard of human life on the throne of (mostly sickly imagined) personal benefit - but among all of them, only Vladimir Putin has the means (the largest country on earth, a superpower) to execute his sickly "revenge" plans on the West - and on the world - which started hatching, probably, somewhere from the moment of loss of his two elder brothers - to the moment he was stationed and "left behind" in Eastern/Western Germany as a KGB agent (more on that - documentary by russian/US journalist Julia Loffe called "Putin files" on TH-cam). He's a scrappy guy who has no naivity, no regard or care for "talks", diplomacy, pleading, decency, morality, values. He SAYS AND DOES WHAT AND HOW HE WANTS. This was, time and once again, seen during the gathering period of troops for several months on the Ukrainian border - when he was openly ridiculing and bluntly lying in face of all of the world. Biden said - no, I don't believe the pictures of APCs retrieving from border are real - and Putin was probably giggling a sickly grin somewhere - saying - good boy, Biden, well noticed, good boy. The problem with the first invasion of 2014 was that he was testing the world - does it care - and how much, apart from giving a "like" in Facebook or youtube - about Ukraine? And after 8 years of no problems occupying Crimean peninsula and swaths of land in East Ukraine - he understood - naah, the world doesn't care much at all. So - he gathers resources for 8 years - and cablamo, still no one cares - here we go, killing people, civilians, murdering pregnant mothers, slaughtering children and his own servicemen. Does Putin care what he says? Does he care the world "sees" that his "targeting military infrastructure only" is a complete lie? Does he care that calling Ukrainians nazists and drug addicts is BS only idiots could believe? NO! Because he has been feeding the majority of Russians his propoganda for decades - no one seemed to be minding, by and large - can he proclaim and postulate anything he wants? ABSOLUTELY! What does he have to lose? NOTHING! ABSOLUTELY NOTHING! He''s known about all the possible sanctions, about disconnecting SWIFT, about not cooperating with Russia, about closing bank accounts, sports events, IKEA, Volkswagen, McDonalds, etc., etc. - for at least 8 years. HE DOES NOT CARE! He is that small ego-centric sicko kid in the playground - whose mentally disturbed resolve only strengthens with every objection - only his toys are mothers, soldiers, children, lives, futures and dreams - under some sick pretense. The only thing Hussein, Ammin, Gadaffi, Assad, bin Laden, HItler and Putin understand or take into account - is blunt immediate force. Once again - the appeasement policy prior to WWII in respect to Hitler - did not work. Are countries like US, Germany, France, UK - and others - willing to take the same bet now?
Well said.
Gadaffi was nothing like the psychopaths you named also Japan dictator Tojo was the absolute worst the world has ever seen and Kim Jong Un of course but the rest you named doesn't even come close not even the African dictator Idi Amin and he was a nightmare himself but you forgot to mention the bush family and the rest of the American dictators especially people like Eisenhower and Ronald Reagan they both unleashed hell on their own and other nations all for colonialism to get their oil our military is fed propaganda and used as tools to spread it's colonial arm to African and middle Eastern nations. America helped create the path North Korea is on now not that they're solely responsible but America has a hand in it. Look what Bush did to Iraq smh
True insight. Thank you. Sometimes I don’t even know why I read TH-cam comments and then I find one like this.
You talk alot of BS..
I stopped Reading where you cited assad, gaddafi as ego centric . This comments only shows one things : despite your age you are still stupid and being fed by western Propaganda medias. Come on get yourself a life you are ageing
Amazing and informative interview
So ... do you know David Hoffman? I'm just curious why you immediately believe everything he says without question? Think about it ... maybe he's right, maybe he's wrong, probably both. You should be more skeptical. The world can't be explained by ONE PERSON. This interview is not journalism. A single source? So .. David Hoffman, as great as he may or may not be, is the sole source of truth and justice? Keep in mind, this is just an interview of one person's opinion, it's not truth absolute. Just saying.
@@punkypinko2965 If you don’t know whether or not Mr. Hoffman knows his subject material, why would you call it into question?
@@punkypinko2965 ...when people see / hear what they 'want', all critical thinking is forgotten.
This man does have a lot of factual information, but he is also languishing up to his eyeballs in biased subjectivity.
Yet, few people here seem aware of it.
@@hansderaeymaeker9137 Yeah critical thinking is rare, it seems to me. That's why politics is so polarized. Most voters are easily lead to believe whatever their political party tells them and the whole point of political parties, at least in America with the Republicans and Democrats, is to divide people.
I find it hilarious that all of these experts know Putin more than Putin knows himself.
Hilarious too that all these "experts" PBS assembled for their "Putin Files" all say the exact same thing about Putin almost as if they are reading from a script; even more hilarious is how over the top obsessed and paranoid they are about Putin - on one hand they tell us how Russia is a faded declining power while on the other hand telling us how Putin has weaponized everything conceivable against the West and is behind everything wrong in the world.
Right it’s so ridiculous
58:40 he says putin was wrong for wanting a strong security for a capitalist state. I wonder where he could have gotten that idea from? This guy is obviously 🙄 one of those people who criticise everything about everyone without realising weather it applies to themselves and the irony and hypocrisy involved
It's funny TH-cam autoplayed this right after President Putin Tucker Carlson Interview 🤣
I feel more knowledgeable after listening to this Hoffman interview. Knowing the details if history is one thing, but understand the psychology and human emotions involved in the making of history are two different things. The Post was so much more respected when journalists like Mr. Hoffman were there. Today's Post , regrettably, is overrun with "journalists" whose idea of the big question of contemporary history is "What flavor of 🍦 ice cream does Joe Biden prefer?" That, I'm afraid, is the best today's jounalists can do.
The idea that a post for Putin in East Germany was a boring outpost is absolutely ridiculous. It was the focus of the cold war!
@Atlantis I was in Dresden 1988 the year before the Berlin wall fell. My point is that to say the Putin The "Rezident" had a boring menial job in Germany is simply ridiculous. He was at the center of it.
@Atlantis I think you have been watching too many James Bond Movies. Yes there are field agents of course but much of the work is done from a desk using information gathering and making tactical decisions. If you were expecting to see Putin as a spy with shades and a trench coat, you would be disappointed..
@Atlantis The KGB staff were all over the world and recruited people all over, so you are correct there. Do you think KGB bosses are hiding in bushes with cameras or are they behind desks? I say again, a spy agency is composed of all manners of staff from the field to the policy makers at the top. Just because Putin wasn't in the bushes with his camera, doesn't mean he wasn't an influential character in the organisation. How come many of his side kicks are also former KGB colleagues and he as President today? Of course he had influence in the organisation, it would be naïve to think he didn't. What Hoffman is saying is just an attempt to make Putin look like a disgruntled little man which does not do the history of the matter justice.
@Atlantis you were the one who said Dresden not me, of course they were!
If you're talking about Berlin maybe, Dresden though? Firstly it was inside a Soviet puppet regime so he wasn't doing any foreign espionage, he was just handling people from the Soviet side of the iron curtain, secondly Dresden was a backwater town in East Germany (which was itself a bit of a backwater). He was collecting newspaper clippings and briefing/debriefing professors, managers etc. visiting the East on industrial espionage. It was a desk job which is why Putin's hard man persona is so funny, it's a fantasy.
My man can talk forever, a true gift.
Extraordinarily prescient! The civilized world can hardly plead ignorance about Russian aggression.
IMO the best and most interesting interview I've seen yet of the bunch, though I have a few left.
Have you listened to Masha Gessen? Incredible.
@@elenalatici9568 I think it's good but not as good as Hoffman who has more in-depth analysis.
Yeah, it's an awfully long list. Quite a propaganda effort has gone on here. I know that NPR is doing its part as well. Sad to see these old truth tellers falling in line.
@@timothygolden5321 Care to share any specifics? No...? What a chock!
@@matsfrommusic Normally I start with the Steele dossier, but since Hoffman here starts with the emails that is really the freshest start of Russiagate: the Podesta and then the DNC email leaks. Both attributed to Russia and both disproven. As he mentions Crowdstrike; a private company yielding a fraud report; whatever HRC wanted them to say was what they said. No FBI investigation. Sorry, but this stuff is so done now, yet I guess some slow pokes are still coming around. The lies that have led us to the brink of nuclear disaster were entirely optional. I do not blame HRC directly; I blame the deep state. They control this media now. Say good-bye to PBS and NPR. These are not the intellectual sources that they once were. Truth means nothing to them. Integrity is no longer a thing in America.
Terrific interview. Great content tky
Suddenly this video floats to the top. Don't get me wrong, I like it. But it floated.

P.s proper chippies pencil ❤️
This is amazing. History recounted in a "telling the tale" style. Easy on the ears, food for the brain. Explains so much.
Is this satire? I can't tell.
Waiting for you to retract!
He also didn't mention that Putin was named because he promised not to prosecute Yeltsin or his family.
He forgot to mention everything about the fact that the USA is basically down the fkn toilet.
It's incredible that both Americans and Russians think that socialism and capitalism are mutually exclusive, and that you can't have democracy and socialism, or dictatorship or communism and capitalism... all of this is obviously complete bullshit. Any state economy needs a fair bit of socialism and capitalism in order to even work. And democracy is all about voting how much socialism vs how much capitalism you want. All people need socialism and capitalism, each and every one of us are born socialists, completely unable to take any kind of responsibility for our own lives, but rather just hanging on mommies tits. And then we grow up and learn to take responsibility and most people become more conservative and capitalist, because when you go to work and work for all your money, then you want to keep it for yourself. With pure socialism there is no wealth, there are only a bunch of people expecting a hand out, and none of them are working to create any wealth, because they are purely socialist and expect others to create the wealth for them and give it to them. With pure capitalism you get no welfare, only the working class get their wages and whatever trickles down onto the rest is down to the charity of whomever is earning any money.
Socialism is defined as any redistribution of wealth.... well it would seem then that capitalism IS a form a socialism. It takes the wealth created by the workforce and redistributes it to the rich guy! The guy who started the business ;-) If you are a business owner, which anybody in the free world is free to be, then you have employees in your business and you capitalize on the actaul value that your workforce is creating. The capitalist does not create his own wealth, Bill Gates didn't program Windows 10 down in a basement all by himself and Elon Musk didn't design all of those spacerockets and Teslas that he is sending into orbit around Mars. The WORKFORCE creates the wealth. And when you capitalize on the workforce, it is completely fair and square that you pay taxes back to the state, because the state needs to look out and take care of the workforce and their families, and make sure that there even is a qualified workforce for the capitalist to capitalize on! The state can use those money that are collected through taxes and redistribute wealth and make a welfare available to the people, make sure that the working force and their families actually have whatever they need.
And what do I mean by welfare? Well, it's nice to be able to send your kid off to school, nice to not have to worry about being able to get to a doctor if you are sick, nice to not have roads, pavements, bridges and all sorts of infrastructure. Nice to have some sort of security and feeling of safety, that if your boss fires you tomorrow, you will still be able to keep a roof over your hear, feed your family, send your children off to get educated and go to the doctors if you get sick. When we vote, we're simply towing the robe in each direction to get some sort of balance between socialism and capitalism. Want more socialism? Vote Bernie Sanders! Want more capitalism, vote Donald Trump. And if you think that there are too little viewpoints or ideologies represented in the political parties of your country, simply create your own party, try and recruit members, collect signatures and run in free and fair elections. That's freedom and democracy.
And to be a little nationalistic here. I believe that I live in a country that struck gold regarding this whole robetowing between capitalism and socialism. I live in Denmark, a social welfare state, where we indeed pay a lot of tax, but at the same time have very strong unions ensuring a well paid workforce. After taxes, which are indeed huge. more than 50%, an average working class dane has just as much as an average working class american., and the minimum paid danish workforce have it much better better than the minimum paid american workforce. Any dane is free to start up their own business, and they will probably find it easy to get started since government is fairly quick to grant you investments to get started with the business. And any dane is also sort of free to simply just screw all of us and stay home and collect a welfare check every month to the day they die from boredom. They can go to the doctors. They can get educated. Tons of stuff that danes can choose to do with their lives, they can even start a small shop selling pillows and covers and grow it to a huge multinational business employing people all over the world. All in all i'd say danes are definitely more free than Americans and have far less worries in life :-)
When it comes to the socialism vs capitalist robe towing it's also a balancing of the workforce, there is a publicly employed workforce and a privately employed workforce, and the more socialism you have within a nation, the bigger will be you public workforce, the more capitalism the bigger will be your private workforce, upto the point where the workforce is uneducated and died because they couldn't get medical help or whatever bullshit happened to them. We need both socialism and capitalism, and politics and particularly democracy is about towing the robe! Could we please get Russians and Americans to look at Denmark and Scandinavia and maybe stop all these brutal ideological proxy-wars throughout the world, with Russias communist ideology on one side, and Americas free market ideology on the other side?
When is the last time your country innovated a technology, or exactly how would you prevent Russia from invading you and completely stomping your ass. How much in foreign aid does your country give, how many immigrants of color including letting unvetted fighting age men? Face it you are like Canada and the E.U. living off the backs of the American taxpayers. How much does your country pay to NATO, are you even in NATO because I know only 2 countries were paying their fair share. Hell we just gave 13 billion to Ukraine alone how much did your country give. How many troops do you have available to fight in Ukraine. I for one am tired of paying welfare for the whole of Europe while idiots brag about how great they are while bashing America

U.G.W: Ukraine Guerrilla Warfare
U.F.F: Ukraine Freedom Fighters
Both U.G.W and U.F.F must be seen everywhere throughout Ukraine. These symbols bring forth the strength of the people to all Russian oppression.
There were many advantages to using Guerrilla Warfare. Guerrilla Warfare allowed smaller, less experienced, and poorly supplied troops to defeat or severely damage large, experienced, and well supplied enemy troops. Many times guerrilla fighters have won great battles when fighting for their homeland as we are seeing and will continue to see.
We are all screwed. Everyone worldwide. Only the oligarchs of the world will be o.k.
It will take time but , we all are on our way down. We cannot even imagine ,how things will be
in the future. We let it happen.
I know we can overcome what they are doing. It woll take sometime, but we can beat them in their own game by becoming educated in business and commerce. Their are many nuvo rich people that have created their own wealth. We can do the same, one step at a time. We just have to become smarter. It can be done, just educate youself.

Actually, Jena was higher tech center than Dresden, and where the precision equipment for Robatron was designed and manufactured. In fact Jenaoptik (the East German branch of Zeiss, and where the company was founded) eventually became the dominant division of the company for integrate circuit manufacturing, and remains the global leader today supplying the optics for ASML, the leading IC Lithography tool supplier. Hoffman may know a thing or two about Putin, but he is no expert on technology in East Germany. Great story teller, but some of his statements are not factually accurate,.
One small point - The primacy of Jena in optical technology predates WW2.
yeah also know and understand very well
Absolutely brilliant.

Incredible times with Gorbachev... I loved him when he was at his best!
And I don't specifically recall much of this, I just remember this as an amazing time, but don't recall the election of Andrei Sakharov.
We should have supported Gorbachev more at the beginning.
Considering the age of this interview, it seems amazing that it never got much footing.
If you don't watch the entire thing 1:10:00 is the absolute gist of the lecture. In a nutshell...
Putin like many Russians didnt accept defeat, didnt accept the helping hand. He helped himself up with the support of his security services and created a populist wave after Yeltsin stepped down. He owes some of his success to Yeltsin's implementation of capitalist theory and oil price rises. But at heart hes little more than a KGB-FSB man. That's what makes him so unlike the general public.
Helping hand? The US raping of Russia and stealing its resources, installing the corrupt Yeltsin as a puppet leader of Russia to bring the country to its knees was a helping hand? This performance by David Hoffman is a total inversion of truth.
V King. Then how does Putin being the joint favourite PM/President in the whole world make you feel LOL?
BTW Yeltsin himself said that Putin did everything different to him. You believe frontline PureBullShit and you will be an ignorant fool & liar forever.
Richard Gibson. Well said.
Well, it probably marks the crescendo of Delusional babble. Because the "Free Press" doesn't exist in Mainstream Media. And the "Free Market" is controlled by a few giant Monopolists.
