Mikhail Khodorkovsky, a former Russian oil executive who spent years in prison, discusses Russian President Vladimir Putin's mindset as he declared Russian rule over parts of Ukraine. #CNN #news
The sad irony is that no one threatened Russia. This is a disaster of its own making! 🇺🇸🇺🇦🇺🇸
Putin has to justify his action to the population. Making it look like they were under attack is a good way to do it.
if you look back in history is always the same way in russia! west just dont know anything about russia other than balet and cyrcus... there is nothing good come out form this land! NOTHING !
Try reading up about the Warsaw pact and then the Cuban missile crisis then JFK last speech .
Here is the recommended clip that says it : kzhead.info/sun/oKqnnLCrj2mbnK8/bejne.html
It was enough for the United States to give security guarantees to Russia in January. The United States refused. What do you think this means?
Middle-aged men, barely able to hold a rifle and then sent off to the frontline with a day's training or less. Russia's contempt for its own citizens/soldiers is unbelievable.
Most of them are really dumb and will do what the government tells them, so it serves them well, it's only a tragedy that Ukrainian lives will be on the wrong side of the barrel.
Putin just like his puppet 45 view their citizens as pawns meant for sacrificing.
They don’t have soldiers; they have serfs.
Time for Russia to pay for Putin's mistakes...
It’s also historical
I am Ukrainian Jew who knew of Khodorovsky and his absolute power as the richest man in Russia a decade or longer ago. I listened to this interview very careful and can attest that Khodorovsky speaks truth. His opinion is a bit unorthodox compared to other people close to Putin and his opinion is very valuable if someone is trying to understand the "crazy Putin's" mind set
Khodorkovsky is an impressive russian: smart and brave to stand up so publicly to Putin, given the threat to life.
Putin's dream of reestablishing the Soviet Union appears to be a catastrophic failure.
Just like Trumps dream of becoming a dictator just like he and lil Kim.
Ya think? Idk what in hell Putler was thinking.
A bit like the Soviet Union then
and thank god and the ukrainians + the west for that

Vladimir Putin consulted with a fortune teller. He asked: “How long will I live?” The psychic replied: “I cannot tell that but I do know you will die on a Ukrainian holiday.” “Which holiday?” Putin asked. “Whichever day you die will be an Ukrainian holiday.”

Fascinating interview. But who's editing these videos? Why cut it off practically mid-sentence?
I really appreciate the interpreter here .... The interpreter is EXTREMELY good , and has a very nice style and lovely pronunciation ... ( even though Khodorkovsy in any case is speaking slowly )
After watching the documentary about Ukraine's 2014 revolution unarmed protesters vs armed soldiers. I knew Putin could not overcome the free people of Ukraine. Ukraine you are on the right side of history.
Was it Winter on Fire? That documentary was so powerful! I thought the same as you after watching it, that the Ukrainians are so strong, they will be impossible for a weak military like Russia to defeat 💥 🇺🇦
I wonder what this comment would have been had Russia's plans went according to.. plan lol

@@magesalmanac6424 yes that was it. These people fought for their freedom from russia and selected a true leader Volodymyr Zelenskyy. They fight for their right to be a democracy. When in the west we have people fighting to take down democracy.
The very fact that the question is being asked makes Putin a valid target on behalf of all civilization itself.
Exactly.
Agreed. This is a time for the allied governments to work together and have him taken out. 100% agree.
I reached the same conclusion based on: 1) Russia is most likely going to lose the war despite mobilization 2) putin has painted himself into a corner where a loss is not an option Therefore he is going to use nukes once the realization of a defeat sets in. So the world (& Russians) can sit back & watch this play out or something will need to be done preemptively.
Yeah surround a country with your missiles and provoke war and then act surprised. Last time I checked USA killed 2 million plus.
@Alex Tryniski even that sounds better than a world with a single ruSSian in it, so..

Very refreshing to hear a real time translator, rather than someone reading a written translation.
The situation in Russia is reminiscent of what was going on in 1917. They were involved in a very unpopular war (WW1), and the people took matters into their own hands and the Tsar was no more. History may not repeat itself but it rhymes.
Bruce Lee once said, never underestimate your opponent. Hitler in 1944 felt what Putin feels right now, nervous and regrets. You can't always get what you want.

I don't think Hitler ever had any regrets. I don't think Putin does either. It's one of the things that makes psychopaths like them dangerous, especially Putin. Imagine Hitler with nuclear weapons.
As the great philosopher Jagger said, "You can't always get what you want, but sometimes you get what you need." Putin needs a good spanking and the Ukraininians are working to give him what he needs.

If you have to say, “it’s not a bluff”, it’s a bluff.
Don't believe anything until the Kremlin denies it.
Maybe. Not sure I'd want to count on it in this case.
You don't know whether it is or whether its isn't. If it isn't, your time's up anyway so not much you can do about it.
I doubt he’s bluffing. He may be dying and wants a legacy as a great ruler. If he faces disgrace he will just blow up the world.
But we talking here about a Nuclear war and nobody play bluf or dare with this shit before
I like this translater, Mr. Khodorkovsky. thanks for sharing & making the world understand who Putin really is.
I Believe It’s Not A Bluff Especially When There’s Greed And Power Involved
My concern is that Putin might be thinking 'I'm getting old - either I see the Soviet Union return under the Federation of Russia, or the World might as well end with me'. Hopefully there'd be enough people who aren't willing to follow him to hell before nuclear weapons are used.
Putin has cancer, so he doesn't care about life.
Exactly my worry as well. If Putin is mad enough and his goons are loyal enough, the world is in grave danger.
Like last term US presidents, Putin seems focused on his place in history, not his own remaining term/life. Reestablishing the Russian empire of the year 1900 would be a great legacy once all the dead soldiers and enemies become numbers in old history books. Previous Russian rulers doing similar things are all now known as "the great".
Ditto
Amen
Putin's psychology has more in common with someone from the the 17th Century or even earlier. Think of the barbarous behaviour of armies during the 30 Years War and you have some idea of his regard for humanity. One cannot hope to understand Putin's thinking unless you can imagine that time in world history. This is what the modern world is confronting.
Fascism always involves turning back the clock and activating the inner beast to devour the human being. Putin is a mixture of Pinochet, Franco, Mussolini, with a lot of Hitler and Stalin. Fareed gave an excellent report on the influence of the pro-fascist Russian exile Ivan Ilyin on Putin.
Oh yeah, good point!
I seriously have no wish to understand putin. I simply detest him.
Russia is a textbook medieval society, which is run by a mafia clan and fully supported by the Russian Orthodox church. The Russian army is a typical medieval army, whose goal is to rape, torture, castrate, kill and loot unarmed civilians and prisoners of war. And Russian society is lacking critical thinking, built on the feeling of hate towards everything and everybody who is different from them. It is very naive and dangerous to think that only Putin and his regime are the problem. The problem is much deeper than that, and to change that for the better will require generations to change and a completely different environment. But meanwhile we just need to help Ukraine strengthen their military force as much as we can, because medieval society understands only one argument - the one of power.

No no If this were true then you are calling Zelensky an old and bitter man War is when the victims fight back.

This oligarch says the decision by the Russian government to charge him with corruption was ”politically motivated” after he began promoting reforms. A more accurate way to look at it is that the other oligarchs are NOT charged with corruption for political reasons: their cooperation with and abetting of Putin.

This oligarch is perhaps only one that had balls to try to right the wrongs of past and undo times of oligarchs in first place. Companies shouldn't be centralized to few single people, it should be a company sized team effort with differing difficulty tasks on each stages. What made Russia go wrong with democracy is that, democracy is never possible if you don't have healthy private companies to give the country's budget revenue in form of taxes to build foundation for people. Every company is centralized, marketing monopolized, small companies annihilated and almost impossible to work independendly.

The worry for Europe is that the conflict doesn't go into other borders. This will be a drawn out affair. Slowly Russia will hold referendums for regions to them and they will likely build military bases in those areas, the local people are either willingly joining Russia or the Ukrainians are leaving going west. A split land grab for Russia will be considered a win. It doesn't look like Ukraine will fall totally at any stage and zelensky will hold power. This will setup a 3rd confrontation in the years to come.

He sounds objective. He mentioned the nuclear idea is not on the table yet but that he could put it if the army doesn't achieve the goals. It is terrible to hear but it's better to know what the situation is
He would get a nasty shock if he did do this. NATO have ways of retaliating with highly sophisticated weapons without setting foot in Ukraine or going anywhere near Russia. He would lose the war immediately and be reduced to the status of North Korea. Russia would never again be able to engage with the outside world, apart from in a limited way with their allies, who have problems of their own. They'd be catapulted back to the 1970s. A meaningless irrelevance as the modern world moves on.

Mikhail Khodorkovsky is a very lucky man. He only went to jail and then left Russia at a time when that was still an option. Things have changed now. Ten oligarchs have "died in suspicious circumstances" since February. Several of those apparently shot their whole families before shooting themselves, as billionaires so often do.

After all, in the event of defeat and loss of power, not only his life is at stake, but also the lives of his entire family. In this respect, he has nothing to lose, and everything is possible up to the ultima (ir)ratio.
Beginning of interview: Putin will press the nuclear button if he loses the war Later in interview: We have to do everything so that Putin loses the war Anyone follow?
The idea to place tariffs on Russian energy is interesting. I haven't heard that option discussed as much.

'In the Russian army of 1914, rearguards did not surrender and live. Rearguards died.' Vorotsyntsev's report to Grand Duke Nikolai, army chief of staff. Alexandr Solzhenitsyn. 'August 1914' History repeats itself.
Nah it is how Russia has always made war. Try reading more and thinking even more
@@user-jk3hw4hq4w What? Like Japan 1905? Afghanistan 1979-89? The Societs, who entered into a pact with the Nazis in 1939? You only 'won' that one because we supplied you after July 1941 and invaded Europe from the West... Try reading more yourself. I've forgotten more history in my 60 years than you'll ever learn.
All you have to do is look at how Putin has historically dealt with political rivals and this invasion of Ukraine is not so surprising.
If you are reading this there’s a reason……No matter how good or bad you have it,wake up each day thankful for your life.Someone else is desperately fighting for theirs ❤️🇧🇸

Nonsense comment
Not only his life but also life of his citizens by sending lack of training troops and by using nuke.
Nobody used a nuke accept the U.S
Do you know for certain or believe everything CNN dish you?
I tried to read between the media opinions , I don't get security memos . lol
Lack of training, tents, uniforms and supplies, including food. Telling them to use tampons for tourniquets...it would be comical if it wasn't so serious and sad. How many have to die?
@@thorrrr1962 your account is 6 months old? An account of Russian propagandist what a shame. Get a life.
Lots of people here have argued that using tactical nukes over the Ukraine would mean so much radioactive fallout spreading even over Russia that using them would be self-defeating. That is not always true. There are tactical nukes which are specially made to give much radiation, but little fallout and little blast. I do not know whether Russia has such weapons or not, but if they do, this is what would happen: First the tactical nukes are ignited over the area to be appropriated. The radiation quickly kills the people, but leaves houses and infrastructure relatively undamaged. After a day or so the radiation has gone down so much that one can send in military in hazmat suits to take and hold the area. After 2-3 weeks, one can send in civilians to move in to the houses and start living there. A lot of those will probably get cancer some thirty years later, but any dictator worth his salt is likely well prepared to pay that price. After all, it's his people. The above does of course not mean that we should betray our ukrainian brother people.
Would be interesting to know if there is any hidden opposition left in Russia.
Sure, there is. But it's thrown away of Russia or arrested. I live in this country and I know what I speak about.
Mikhail is a very wise guy, it is a pleasure to watch him and listen. I do believe he knows exactly what he sais and I hope he never gets in danger again by his open talks. He is really very brave but it is needed. I wished we could do much more to help Ukraine and the russian people that suffer under Putins regime.
