These interviews are proof that people just don’t pay attention until it hits them in the face. All of these interviews make it clear this was coming, but the question was when.
Hindsight is 20-20 vision, but Putin opportunisticly aided the rise of neo-fascist authoritarian politicians and populist policies benefitting Russia. In France they explicitly borrowed money for campaign funding, in Britain Brexit sold as a supposedly patriotic idea also has links with Russia. Now the Brexit PM is comprised by favours to/from an oligarch with a KGB father. Naturally the useful fools who follow these movements will be the last to realise. They gained traction as a result of issues unaddressed and ignored by the commerce centred politics.
Yes. And even when the peace talks succeed (I pray) and Putin backs off, we mustn't let our guard down, and should expect vengeance, even if it won't be wide in the open, but some sort of terrorism under a false flag (Putin has been supporting Talibans in Afghanistan)
@@frusia123 Relations towards Russia will never be the same as long as Putin or people in his circle remain in power. I think there is no going back on that now.

Thought I was a lone weirdo in JB having the same effect on me, I love listening to Mr Brennan speak ... such a smart man who has a wonderful rhythm/cadances in his vocabulary .. as much as i find him captivating, his tone is brilliant for relaxation ha ha ha if he ever narrated any books he's done, I'll have to buy them Thanks Frontline .. Brennan knows Putin inside out and I miss his dismantling of Donald Trump on Twitter
Brennan exemplifies the quality of person we need running government. Tellingly, he was appointed by Obama and worked for him 5 years, including getting bin Laden. Then Trump replaced Brennan with a corrupt businessman, Pompeo, whose main qualification was being loyal to Trump.
John Brennan briefed Trump about Russian interference, he knew Trumps capabilities. James Comey is the one that gave him the dossier partially paid by Democrats to hire SPY. Trump knew it was a shakedown. From what I watched on every FRONTLINE documentary Trump had good relationship with Putin. No one wants nuclear war, it would decimate the planet and vaporize us into the extinction list.
This is a CIA agent/professional liar..do yourself a favor.Take the perspective i just gave you, and do your research as to why its true. It is his JOB to lie in a soothing tone...The U.S wanted war in Ukraine every bit as bad as they wanted it in Iraq..imagine Russia wanted to put weapons on the Mexico/ U.S border, the way the U.S wanted to put them on the Russia/ Ukraine border..imagine the reaction. You are brainwashed...nothing more evil on this earth than the hidden powers of the U.S government- namely the CIA and Military Industrial Complex- power corrupts even when its out in the open..imagine how horrible the corruption is in the shadows in the most powerful country in the world. Your government is far more evil now than when you killed Kennedy.
Some of these comments are hysterical. You don’t just accidentally become the director of the CIA - you have to be intelligent and skilled to a great degree. It’s not like you can be some waste of space sitting in your grandma’s basement with your drawers on typing on your little keyboard - you have to be accomplished. Now, that has nothing to do with his moral compass but in that line of work a saint can’t be effective.
of which Brennan is none of the above.. get it into your head that the DCI IS APPOINTED the president nominates the DCI He was a piece of shit in the agency and he's a piece of shit now
Inezz Mullins……Trump didn’t cozy up to Putin. Mueller admitted Trump did not colluded with Russia. Trump was tougher on Putin than Bush, Obama and Biden combined. Just google what Trump did to Putin. Putin was so scared of Trump, Putin did nothing for 4 years. But when Obama was president, Putin invaded Crimea and under Biden, Putin invaded Ukraine. With Trump in office, Putin was as quite as a field mouse.
I wish I could get in a sound proof room with President Obama and ask him how the hell you handle it when your political opponent is in cahoots with Putin.
Strange indeed . as when WE look back, “nothing Collapsed “ hence our discussion otherwise mute ..Your are however spot on that no-one could imagine a guy like Putin takeover ..imaginary because Yeltsin … little knowledge is dangerous
Depends upon what company you keep. I was getting my political science degree during the collapse and the foreign policy community thought it was likely that power would be reconsolidated under a prior Zampolit or Komsomol. Putin fit the bill in the sense that he was a KGB stooge and CPSU fanatic.
@@markofsaltburn things seem inevitable in hindsight. The "wild east" was not expected when Yeltsin formed the Russian Federation, the USSR had been a police state.
Because it’s the same questions to people within the US administration, or US based or US facing reporters. Although very interesting, it is literally the same view multiplied. It would be even better if they had some opposing views, or interviews with their Russian counterparts for context.
@@davesmit8162 ... Opposing views? As in Putin is a benevolent teddy bear of a guy!? If you do ever see that, you can bet it was written by Putin himself! Lol*

When I was 19 or so. I decided to read a book called "the art of war." I was amazed by this book. At the time, because the book had no copyright because it's 2500 years old or so, I wanted to make an audio recording of it. This was around 2003-04 maybe. The internet where I lived was barely accessable, but I wanted to be prepared for it. Because I was 19, I could not get any good takes/attempts at reading the book in a manner where I could be proud to release it. You can imagine how familiar I became with the book after many attempts at reading properly. When Putin gave a speech about Crimea he used the phrase, "I will take Crimea without firing a single shot." My ears sharpened. I remember that phrase. But it wasn't exactly that phrase. The phrase I remember was, "A great general would be able to conquer a territory without firing a single.. arrow." If you study"the art of war" long enough you can learn clever, creative tactics. "The art of War" is written in a vague manner. For example, the book states suggestions like, "all war is based off of deception. If you are many convince the opponent that you are few." The author of "the art of war" lets the reader to come up with the plan of "how" - how to convince the opponent that you are few rather than many. Like I said it's a fascinating book. As I shared before, "all war is based on deception... And a great general can conquer a territory without firing a single shot/arrow." So "how" can one accomplish this? "How do you fight without fighting?" To elaborate how do you fight an opponent without sending troops/soldiers. One "way" is through "deception." Deceive people in the territory that you wish to conquer, tell them that their leadership is corrupt/evil/pedophile/devil worshippers and convince them their news is false or *fake* therefore, as the deceiver, you can manipulate a captured portion of the population in the territory that you wish to conquer to fight their own government using .... Deceptions/propaganda/ disinformation/ misinformation When you tell people the news is fake and they believe it, you become the source of truth. As the new source of truth, you can give whichever information you want them to know. If you want people to buy only X brand of coffee, you can do it and get a cut of the profits and maybe fees. If you convince them so and so is enemy#1 they believe it. *Basically as the source of truth, you can manipulate/mold their minds to believe whatever you want.* If you want people to attack the capital, you give them *information* that inspires them to do so. Thank you
Sadly people in our country thinks the other guy is the manipulated one. Fingers point in both directions as the "brainwashed" ones. Feels like I'm watching hypnotized people.
@@MA-fg5hz I hope my experience helps to clarify the truth. I would add one more research development. To me, it helps prove Russia has been the manipulator more than likely in bed with Trump, and that is the negative type of propaganda used about the United States against everyone else in the world during the Cold War. What is said now is similar to what was said back then.
@@patrickskramstad1485It does! I didn't want to gush but I thought your post was perfect,it describes exactly what's been going on here for the last decade & more. When Russia attacked Ukraine I started watching & reading everything I could. I saw exactly why Trump did some of the unexplainable things during his time in office trying to destroy the country. His last year in office he was setting us up to get out of Nato, I see why now. It was hard to follow everything because he did so much damage daily,he set about to undo everything good Obama did. Everything. He damaged so many organizations we had in place to help things like, gee a pandemic! He fired the entire pandemic response team in 2018 just another example.
@@patrickskramstad1485 It's still hard to believe he was elected but I see now the whole picture & just how damaging Russia has been to the US through the long slow burn of hateful propaganda. What I didn't know was how much Russia hates the US. Globally the propaganda has been brutal another thing I didn't realize. They have preyed on every weakness America has and poured salt into wounds. And our own #45 was there to help every step of the way. I'm sickened by it. Trump brought to the forefront the era of "fake news" he repeated lies everytime he opened his mouth. More than we could keep up with. I don't believe he would have been elected without Putins help. He didn't win the popular vote he won due to electoral vote which is very screwed up and the whole DNC wiki leaks thing. But people were already primed & ready to drink all the Kool-aid, that's what 15 yrs of hard core propaganda attacks do to people. They no longer can tell up from down. Not all of us however. Btw-- I just saw on the News Putin is going after Moldova next. His general made an announcement. They said he wouldn't stop with Ukraine.
Just because someone does not agree with you does not make them a "troll". And in light of the things that came out of the FBI's role in falsifying the FISA warrant for Mueller's investigation, the honesty of Mr. Brennan puts this interview under suspicion.
Imagine the U.K. moving militarily into Southern Ireland and justifying it in the same terms as Putin does. It’s retrogressive, neo imperialist and how some Russians couldn’t - there is plurality of thinking in Russia, including those who wanted democracy to work - adjust to the loss of the Soviet Empire.
Ok I’m not a fan of what Russia is doing in Ukraine but what do you think the United States would do if Canada or Mexico was falling under Chinese influence we already saw what would happen in Cuba we also moved troops into Vietnam and Korea to “stop the spread of communism” this is nothing new basically nato is at russias front door and they don’t like it so they invaded Ukraine to “stop the spread of nato” nothing new and they won’t adjust to the loss of the Soviet Union they want as much power as possible to remain a global superpower
@@apass2803 '...to remain a global superpower...'?! Russia with a current GDP smaller than the state of Texas and an annual per capita income of 8-9K USD is not a global power. It is barely a regional power.
She was guilty ... she was a crappy Secretary of State .... she allowed her server to be compromised. She should have been charged but the big machine would not allow it .. I dont like Comey .... he basically said she broke the law but didnt mean to do it and so they would not pursue it. No one in DC has the balls to take down the corruption.
Uh -- you mean ... uh.... BRENNAN ? "Not WITTINGLY" ..? Or who, behind CLOSED DOORS, admits: NO TRUMP-RUSSIA COLLUSION ..? FIRST question I'd ask Brennan? How "VILIFY" is spelled: 1 L or 2 ..? Discuss his NOTES re: "VILLIFYING TRUMP to claim a Russian link" (per Hillary's instructions, SUMMER 2016). Or, WHY Mueller's report shown literally NO EVIDENCE....? Hmmmm....??? Investigate Trump? No Prob. Biden and co have EXPLICITLY committed CRIME UPON CRIME. And SOLD US OUT. Yet -- Trump asks if there was corruption in Ukraine (where Biden ADMITS IT, and his son who does not SPEAK Ukrainian nor know what a hydrocarbon even IS ... is being paid $100K per month ... but, that's wrong ..? You people are DELUSIONAL. The only questions Brennan should be answering? Under oath - by a PROSECUTOR. He's waged TWO disinfo campaigns on YOU People Successfully Verifiably KNOWINGLY-DISHONEST -- unsuccessfully intent swaying 2016 elections. Contributing to the THEFT of 2020. "It's so CONFUSING that Trump didn't just ADORE his Security Apparatus" Who did to Trump EXACTLY what he claims Putin was doing? "trying to bloody Hillary's nose if she did win" When, in June, while Trump was in Russia - they release something pretending the $5K determined "that Russia's Social Media spend wasn't just important, but DECISIVE! Hillary spent over $1B (2x Trump's spend). But THAT $5k was "decisive !?" Brennan is of COURSE being interviewed by a LACKY pretending his DECLASSIFIED NOTES - REVEALING he CONSPIRED to wage 2 DISINFORMATION CAMPAIGNS ON AMERICAN PEOPLE, 1 in 2016 & a SECOND in 2020: "50 current & former Intel officers think "Hunter's Laptop is a RUSSIAN DISINFORMATION CAMPAIGN" ... when the only disinfo campaign is HIM! ALL under a BULLSHIT PREMISE he's an "official that's beyond reproach." As IF!
watching these interviews is like watching the pot talk about the kettle. It's interesting to know what one bully thinks of another one, but by no means is this about good vs evil. I wonder if we could get a series of interviews talking about the US interventions in Central and South America. Doubt it...Americans don't like to see themselves as the bad guy.
Based on America’s leaders stated goals of expanding NATO and encircling Russia, I think Putin had legitimate concerns. I understand that Americans are now establishing military bases in Finland.
READ THIS: President Biden(s!) is asking Congress for $13 billion for Ukraine. Where is the money for securing the US Southern Border? Thousands of people from all over the world, including Russians, invade the USA through the border Democrats are not interested in securing!! Why did not the Obama/Biden give these sanctions when Russia invaded the Ukraine Crimea region in 2014???? The small sanctions implemented gave Putin the green light for his current actions!! Why was Hunter Biden on the Board of Directors of a Ukranian energy company for $50,000 a month?? What about the evidence on Hunter Biden's laptop and his Chinese Communist connections!?!?
I am loving this informative series. I do, however, wish that Frontline would spend ten seconds introducing the interview subjects, quickly citing experience, education, government posts held, etc. This information would help Luddites such as "yours truly." Thanks, Frontline PBS!

@@lynnytisc1 because of the "long standing department policy" saying that a sitting POTUS can't be indicted. Over 1500 ex federal prosecutors say that if Crooked Trump wasn't in the WH he'd be indicted for obstruction of justice.
@@TheRoafer You're dead wrong. Mueller was forced to recant his testimony to Ted Lieu. He was forced to admit to congress and in writing the decision not to indict Trump had absolutely nothing to do with the OLC. This is why propaganda works. People like you follow those you mistakenly hold in esteem without doing your homework. You don't bother digging into the facts and utilizing logic and reason to deduce reality for yourself. You're what propagandists refer to as an easy target. You believe everything they feed to you while dismissing everything they tell you to. Did you know there was a group of progressive leftist REAL journalists that continued to report facts and were continually debunking the lies you were fed ad nauseum throughout the Trump Presidency? Glenn Greenwald, Aaron Maté, Matt Taibbi, just to name a few.
John Brennan is brilliant and commands my respect with his calm demeanor, the amount of detail he provides while always being cognizant of sensitive information he will not divulge. Incredible human being!
try working with and for him he's a piece of shit that never should have made it through the vetting process and NEVER should have been given a clearance.. call him well spoken but so was Obama both could sell you a bucket of shit and get the bucket back for all the wrong reasons
Frontline should insert pix of the events that Brennan is talking about (Obama & Putin, Trump at the wall, etc.) when he first begins mentioning the event. As time passes future viewers will have trouble following the timeline.
All these interviews were conducted to be used in another of Frontline’s Putin documentaries a few years ago, where they have simplified a lot of the information gained in these interviews and have the added visuals you want to see. The unedited interviews are more interesting in my opinion because it showcases just how knowledgeable all of their experts are on this subject. They lost the unedited interviews for transparency reasons. If people want a condensed version they can watch the actual documentary.
Two hours of blissful pleasure listening to director Brennan. Thank you for your service and for willingness to speak candidly about such contentious issues.
@@anteeko 2011 as a chief terrorism advisor he lied that no civilians were killed by drones 2014 he lied when saying that the CIA had not illegally accessed the computers of U.S. Senate staffers 2017 he lied to Congress saying he didn’t know who had commissioned the Steele dossier and that the CIA did not rely on its contents -he should be in jail for this one 2020 he was one of the 51 idiots that lied by signing a document stating that Hunter Biden’s laptop was a Russian conspiracy He’s was a main propagator of the Trump/Putin Russian collision lie for three plus years. He’s a contributor on MSNBC so every time he’s on the air he lies.
Because we don’t want a world war by “truly pushing back.” Thank GOD you aren’t running this country or have anything to do with diplomacy or intelligence or military. You’d run this country into the fucking ground and it would all be your fault because you’re that inept at this game.
We made President Putin the enemy for a long time if you research Putin i and his speeches you will realize we were warned 20 years I go always two sides to a coin when you have two superpowers pretty good interview must watch President Putin side I look at all the world news that way I understand history
Putin knows Americans are gullible to reality shows, therefore that is the reason he selected Trump. Trump also has the qualities of a dictator is another quality that Putin liked.
Fantastic interview. no matter what side of the aisle you are on. Very insightful. Thank you to Mr. Brenan for your insight into the issues involving the Russian interference in the U.S.
You are a fool. This was a fabricated spy ring to influence an election. Isn’t it funny that the fbi falsified fisa warrants and one of the lead fbi investigators was recently arrested for accepting bribes from Russia? This is called COLLUSION WITH RUSSIA which is exactly what they accused Trump of doing. This is GASLIGHTING.
Freedom of the press is in our constitution! The problem with that is it allows media to have major biases, luckily there are media outlets that are less biased than others (like Fox News or CNN) like PBS and NPR. Our publicly funded news services are much better than corporate funded news services.
@@bigwendigo2253 Did you notice when PBS switched from BBC to NHK? My father and grandfather were not enthusiastic about this switch. I felt it was a step in the correct direction. Really, with the US military budget, a tremendous amount of more money could be spent on PBS. Remember when South Sudan held its first democratic elections? How do you think the children of South Sudanese immigrants, that themselves didn’t know Sudanese because their parents were too busy working, felt about the American media’s lack of coverage of their ancestral land? I reckon those that view the United States as the world’s largest prison are nonzero.
I find it fascinating that people who call themselves “nationalists” despise people like Brennan who have spent their careers defending the interests of our nation even to a fault.
in the role he plays , that might not be favourable, competent in pursuing their ulterior motive for the United States the corporation and not for American and the sovereign people, which is to strip you all of your guns, your property and then your dignity.
@@matthewsmith5374 *"you sound a little biased...."* You've never heard an objective person discuss this before. There was 3 years spent on an investigation, and I've watched this traitor spew venom the entire time. This "man" voted for Gus Hall in 1976 for president - he was a communist. Everything that Brennan has accused Trump of, it's Brennan that is guilty of. This is a common tactic. When you're exposed for being a criminal, accuse your enemy of the crime you've committed.
@@richardwicks4190 sure I have, myself and other reasonable people for example. I meant you sound biased as you’ve written him off as a criminal etc (even though he’s never been tried as a criminal nor convicted of a crime and even though he’s worked in Law enforcement all his life) and said yourself you wouldn’t waste your time listening to him. Well unfortunately because of your bias you’re missing out on important and interesting information from someone who had top security clearance during a pivotal moment of our nations history. He’s providing us with first hand insight. It’s valuable to the public. Also, his Gus Hall vote while he was a college junior was a protests vote, as it was during Watergate and Brennan was disillusioned with the system. I’d forgive him for that, especially since communism did not take power in the United States due to his or any other college students vote.
@@matthewsmith5374 *"I meant you sound biased as you’ve written him off as a criminal etc (even though he’s never been tried as a criminal nor convicted of a crime"* I didn't "write him off as a criminal" - I've observed he is. And he will never be convicted, because our government itself is criminal. We don't really have a federal government, we have criminal syndicate. *"Well unfortunately because of your bias you’re missing out on important and interesting information"* I'm missing out on propaganda. I've seen too much of that to bother to pay attention to it anymore. I only need to observe somebody outwardly lying a few times. This is why I wouldn't waste my time listening to Rachael Maddow, or Sean Hannity, or Jon Oliver for that matter. *"He’s providing us with first hand insight."* No. He's protecting the criminal syndicate which he represents - he's providing you with disinformation. *"Also, his Gus Hall vote while he was a college junior was a protests vote, as it was during Watergate and Brennan was disillusioned with the system"* Watergate was a setup for Nixon. What actually happened is that a uncontrolled group broke into the DNC headquarters when it was clear Nixon was going to win in a landslide victory. The CIA had infiltrators in the White House who convinced Nixon to cover up the crime. Nixon had no knowledge of the break in previously and there was no need for a break in. It was an operation to remove a president who signed the SALT treaties and ended the Vietnam war. Any president that tries to end any war is targeted. That's why Trump is targeted. So if this dirtbag voted as a protest vote against corruption, he's part of the corruption now. This man's job is to provoke wars. Find that weapons of mass destruction program in Iraq yet? He's an absolute traitors, not to the criminal syndicate that runs this nation - but to you and me.
no shit, but the Dems have created complete support for Neocons, that think war is fine when Obama starts it, and When Trump pulls troops out of a ridiculous regime change war, suddenly the whole deep state is pro war.
My current perspective is that Putin's approach was to stress test every aspect of American politics, and election processes. Any and every potential points of weakness were identified, and so far very few levers have been lightly touched/exploited in hopes of being discreet or undiscovered, for future use, and also to have other methods available for future use. This is a multi-generational apparatus loosely designed to upset/offset for the purpose of creating and maintaining an America that is friendly-ish, overall allowing him and any future generations of fulfilling a dream of a world dominant Russia.
Can PBS Frontline do a documentary to show everyone how any of this video differs from the hegemonic approach of the US vis-à-vis Eric Prince & Blackwater, the war in Iraq, the war in Afghanistan, persecuting Julian Assange and others, Jim Crow laws, anti-abortion, Environmental crimes domestic and international etc. etc. Nice suit though, although your tie is a bit crooked.
you forgot Standing Rock and Wounded Knee...as well as all the trouble they have been causing in South America in the past 5 years. At least Ecuador got rid of its dictator.
Is there some kind of new volume limit? I feel like a lot of online videos are wayyyy to quiet recently. I have this on full volume and can barely hear it with my heater on in the same room.
Many thanks to Director Brennan, this was still very enlightening to a voter in 2024. Eight years later, we're still living with the nightmare. 2 more days to the election.

Inezz Mullins……Trump didn’t cozy up to Putin. Mueller admitted Trump did not colluded with Russia. Trump was tougher on Putin than Bush, Obama and Biden combined. Just google what Trump did to Putin. Putin was so scared of Trump, Putin did nothing for 4 years. But when Obama was president, Putin invaded Crimea and under Biden, Putin invaded Ukraine. With Trump in office, Putin was as quite as a field mouse.

What is wrong with Trump?
I wish I could get in a sound proof room with President Obama and ask him how the hell you handle it when your political opponent is in cahoots with Putin.
It's kind of strange, when we think back to when the Soviet Union collapsed, no one could imagine a guy like Putin would take over.
Strange indeed . as when WE look back, “nothing Collapsed “ hence our discussion otherwise mute ..Your are however spot on that no-one could imagine a guy like Putin takeover ..imaginary because Yeltsin …
little knowledge is dangerous
It was inevitable.
Depends upon what company you keep. I was getting my political science degree during the collapse and the foreign policy community thought it was likely that power would be reconsolidated under a prior Zampolit or Komsomol. Putin fit the bill in the sense that he was a KGB stooge and CPSU fanatic.
Definitely people could, that was the reason for engagement and aid to the economically collapsed superpower.
@@markofsaltburn things seem inevitable in hindsight.
The "wild east" was not expected when Yeltsin formed the Russian Federation, the USSR had been a police state.
Every bully can fight..til they get punched in the face
This series of interviews paints a pretty stark picture.
Horrific, I'd say, except that what's going on in Ukraine right now is real horror.
Because it’s the same questions to people within the US administration, or US based or US facing reporters. Although very interesting, it is literally the same view multiplied. It would be even better if they had some opposing views, or interviews with their Russian counterparts for context.
@@davesmit8162 ... Opposing views? As in Putin is a benevolent teddy bear of a guy!? If you do ever see that, you can bet it was written by Putin himself! Lol*

When I was 19 or so. I decided to read a book called "the art of war."
I was amazed by this book. At the time, because the book had no copyright because it's 2500 years old or so, I wanted to make an audio recording of it. This was around 2003-04 maybe. The internet where I lived was barely accessable, but I wanted to be prepared for it.
Because I was 19, I could not get any good takes/attempts at reading the book in a manner where I could be proud to release it.
You can imagine how familiar I became with the book after many attempts at reading properly.
When Putin gave a speech about Crimea he used the phrase, "I will take Crimea without firing a single shot."
My ears sharpened. I remember that phrase. But it wasn't exactly that phrase. The phrase I remember was, "A great general would be able to conquer a territory without firing a single.. arrow."
If you study"the art of war" long enough you can learn clever, creative tactics.
"The art of War" is written in a vague manner. For example, the book states suggestions like, "all war is based off of deception. If you are many convince the opponent that you are few."
The author of "the art of war" lets the reader to come up with the plan of "how" - how to convince the opponent that you are few rather than many.
Like I said it's a fascinating book.
As I shared before, "all war is based on deception... And a great general can conquer a territory without firing a single shot/arrow."
So "how" can one accomplish this?
"How do you fight without fighting?"
To elaborate how do you fight an opponent without sending troops/soldiers.
One "way" is through "deception."
Deceive people in the territory that you wish to conquer, tell them that their leadership is corrupt/evil/pedophile/devil worshippers and convince them their news is false or *fake* therefore, as the deceiver, you can manipulate a captured portion of the population in the territory that you wish to conquer to fight their own government using .... Deceptions/propaganda/ disinformation/ misinformation
When you tell people the news is fake and they believe it, you become the source of truth.
As the new source of truth, you can give whichever information you want them to know.
If you want people to buy only X brand of coffee, you can do it and get a cut of the profits and maybe fees.
If you convince them so and so is enemy#1 they believe it.
*Basically as the source of truth, you can manipulate/mold their minds to believe whatever you want.* If you want people to attack the capital, you give them *information* that inspires them to do so. Thank you
Patrick Skramstad: Read The Prince by Machiavelli too, and you'll see Putin in it quite easily.
Sadly people in our country thinks the other guy is the manipulated one. Fingers point in both directions as the "brainwashed" ones. Feels like I'm watching hypnotized people.
@@MA-fg5hz I hope my experience helps to clarify the truth. I would add one more research development. To me, it helps prove Russia has been the manipulator more than likely in bed with Trump, and that is the negative type of propaganda used about the United States against everyone else in the world during the Cold War. What is said now is similar to what was said back then.
@@patrickskramstad1485It does!
I didn't want to gush but I thought your post was perfect,it describes exactly what's been going on here for the last decade & more. When Russia attacked Ukraine I started watching & reading everything I could. I saw exactly why Trump did some of the unexplainable things during his time in office trying to destroy the country. His last year in office he was setting us up to get out of Nato, I see why now. It was hard to follow everything because he did so much damage daily,he set about to undo everything good Obama did. Everything. He damaged so many organizations we had in place to help things like, gee a pandemic! He fired the entire pandemic response team in 2018 just another example.
@@patrickskramstad1485 It's still hard to believe he was elected but I see now the whole picture & just how damaging Russia has been to the US through the long slow burn of hateful propaganda. What I didn't know was how much Russia hates the US.
Globally the propaganda has been brutal another thing I didn't realize.
They have preyed on every weakness America has and poured salt into wounds. And our own #45 was there to help every step of the way. I'm sickened by it. Trump brought to the forefront the era of "fake news" he repeated lies everytime he opened his mouth. More than we could keep up with. I don't believe he would have been elected without Putins help. He didn't win the popular vote he won due to electoral vote which is very screwed up and the whole DNC wiki leaks thing. But people were already primed & ready to drink all the Kool-aid, that's what 15 yrs of hard core propaganda attacks do to people. They no longer can tell up from down. Not all of us however.
Btw-- I just saw on the News Putin is going after Moldova next. His general made an announcement. They said he wouldn't stop with Ukraine.
Anybody got a number on how many trolls are on this forum? I find it hard to believe 90 % of these postings.
Just because someone does not agree with you does not make them a "troll".
And in light of the things that came out of the FBI's role in falsifying the FISA warrant for Mueller's investigation, the honesty of Mr. Brennan puts this interview under suspicion.
As a rule of thumb, I always assume that the harder something is trolled, the more likely it is to be accurate.

I disagree with his assessment of James Comey. Comey worked at disparaging Clinton just before the election, which was wholly unprofessional.
She was guilty ... she was a crappy Secretary of State .... she allowed her server to be compromised. She should have been charged but the big machine would not allow it .. I dont like Comey .... he basically said she broke the law but didnt mean to do it and so they would not pursue it. No one in DC has the balls to take down the corruption.
I wholly agree.
history does not look favorably at Comey that is for sure
Each one of these conversations offer different angles and surprises but the mystery remains.

Based on America’s leaders stated goals of expanding NATO and encircling Russia, I think Putin had legitimate concerns. I understand that Americans are now establishing military bases in Finland.
What we learn from history is that we don't learn from history! 😥
And the sad part about it it'd be so obvious every time

READ THIS: President Biden(s!) is asking Congress for $13 billion for Ukraine. Where is the money for securing the US Southern Border? Thousands of people from all over the world, including Russians, invade the USA through the border Democrats are not interested in securing!!
Why did not the Obama/Biden give these sanctions when Russia invaded the Ukraine Crimea region in 2014???? The small sanctions implemented gave Putin the green light for his current actions!! Why was Hunter Biden on the Board of Directors of a Ukranian energy company for $50,000 a month?? What about the evidence on Hunter Biden's laptop and his Chinese Communist connections!?!?

Frontline should insert pix of the events that Brennan is talking about (Obama & Putin,
Trump at the wall, etc.) when he first begins mentioning the event. As time passes
future viewers will have trouble following the timeline.
All these interviews were conducted to be used in another of Frontline’s Putin documentaries a few years ago, where they have simplified a lot of the information gained in these interviews and have the added visuals you want to see.
The unedited interviews are more interesting in my opinion because it showcases just how knowledgeable all of their experts are on this subject. They lost the unedited interviews for transparency reasons.

He’s providing us with first hand insight. It’s valuable to the public. Also, his Gus Hall vote while he was a college junior was a protests vote, as it was during Watergate and Brennan was disillusioned with the system.

And he will never be convicted, because our government itself is criminal. We don't really have a federal government, we have criminal syndicate.
*"Well unfortunately because of your bias you’re missing out on important and interesting information"*
I'm missing out on propaganda. I've seen too much of that to bother to pay attention to it anymore. I only need to observe somebody outwardly lying a few times.
This is why I wouldn't waste my time listening to Rachael Maddow, or Sean Hannity, or Jon Oliver for that matter.
*"He’s providing us with first hand insight."*
No. He's protecting the criminal syndicate which he represents - he's providing you with disinformation.
*"Also, his Gus Hall vote while he was a college junior was a protests vote, as it was during Watergate and Brennan was disillusioned with the system"*
Watergate was a setup for Nixon. What actually happened is that a uncontrolled group broke into the DNC headquarters when it was clear Nixon was going to win in a landslide victory.
The CIA had infiltrators in the White House who convinced Nixon to cover up the crime. Nixon had no knowledge of the break in previously and there was no need for a break in.
It was an operation to remove a president who signed the SALT treaties and ended the Vietnam war.
Any president that tries to end any war is targeted. That's why Trump is targeted.
So if this dirtbag voted as a protest vote against corruption, he's part of the corruption now. This man's job is to provoke wars.

My current perspective is that Putin's approach was to stress test every aspect of American politics, and election processes. Any and every potential points of weakness were identified, and so far very few levers have been lightly touched/exploited in hopes of being discreet or undiscovered, for future use, and also to have other methods available for future use. This is a multi-generational apparatus loosely designed to upset/offset for the purpose of creating and maintaining an America that is friendly-ish, overall allowing him and any future generations of fulfilling a dream of a world dominant Russia.

Many thanks to Director Brennan, this was still very enlightening to a voter in 2024. Eight years later, we're still living with the nightmare. 2 more days to the election.
Thumbs up all the Thumbs down are from Russia!!!
John Brennan was more articulate here than I ever thought he was capable of.
He’s a goddamn communist, he’s a liar, he perjured himself in front of Congress, and he’s a dummy, a DUM dummy. I’m glad you admire him, because he really has few of then. He being a dummy, and you being an admirer of him, what does that make you? Think about it for a while dummy
@@steveperreira5850 John Brennan is not and never has been a member of the Communist Party.
lying through his teeth has a tendency to do that... do a little research on this clown..and if you didn't find his membership in the CPUSA you didn't dig deep enough
@@victorseger6044 In America, if you want to shut someone up just accuse them of being a Communist. It is such a tired calumny.
Cheers for the video mate 😎 👌
With a calm and friendly demeanor Mr. Brennan tells it like it is. When it comes to sensitive classified information, rather than telling lies, he simply states that he is not able to speak about that. A true gentleman who served the United States with great dignity. Thank you Mr. Brennan
I did recognize one good lie, but I think it was to show Russia something otherwise. You didn’t catch it?
@@dustinkfc6633 No didn't catch it. Let us know and give us the proof please.
Mr Putin really needs to get his nose blooded.
So true, Mr Brennan is going full churchill here 😀
Isn't it funny that Comey never sat down for one of the interviews.
I like the part, where he describes this "the idiots are taking over" moment after the 2016 electiion. "Mr. Trump has a problem with professionals."😂
i know Im asking the wrong place but does anybody know a way to log back into an Instagram account..?

@King Billy It did the trick and I actually got access to my account again. I'm so happy!
Thanks so much, you really help me out :D
@Denver Brennan no problem :D
he is a softly spoken man, it is to his benefit. honestly, I can't see any difference between USA strong arming and Russian strong arming. I am a European. However i do prefer the USA democracy as a Joe Bloggs
Sign of a sociopath, and a LIAR!
Democracy? What an idiot u r
This one bothers me the United States calls Russia a bully but they did the same thing when they invaded Iraq and Libya
This is a masterclass in how to lie like a CIA agent..and its all free on youtube because you can't sell a class in that.
True Patriot
Most corrupt director since dulles and hoover. Absolute liar.
Flagged for misinformation
Has Mr. Brennan read the New American Century's plans?
He probably wrote them
I found that ''expertise'' repeating word very ... intriguing for sure but also very RELEVANT and useful for anyone who wants to ...PEER a bit both into history AND the future Any Mc'Clue vibes here :)
End America to bring about world peace
PRAY FOR WORLD 🌎 PEACE 💙🙏💙🙏💙🙏💙
Free the Russian people
End Putin
Democracy in Russia is needed!
+TRAITOR Trump so they can follow the "Atlantacists" and end up in the same moral, social cesspool that is now the eurozone ?? The Russian people see how they were betrayed by the west in the 90's and want nothing of it. Sorry
Lynn Tiscione the Russian people want democracy and they will have it despite Putin's trolls and thugs like yourself
Democracy is need in the EU as well. Start there why don't you?
maria , Maria butina ! gun rights for ex- Soviet people ! yes bravo mo mo more!
CIA, where are the WMDs?
Trumps statements are not so enigmatic if you consider the ex Presidents maturity level. Also the lack of maturity of his followers.
John Brennan for United States Senate!!
Are you crazy?
