More Trump fearmongering when Neoliberal dems are owned by the military industrial complex. Dems support war and HATE free speech.
The left is no longer the side of justice and freedom. It's the party of rich elites who manipulate their followers with propaganda and hate.
no, if she has a magic wand, she would make Putin disappear. What Putin is doing is to protect the interests of his people.
Some mighty fine TDS on display.
I think fiona hill,vladimie putin and netanyahoo are all related.they have the long nose and their mouths are real close to their chins.wouldnt doubt it if they are cousins.
Totally believed Fiona ..♥️
Thank you! Ms Hill is an example of You Tube meeting its potential for informing the electorate and improving average people’s understanding of each other and their histories.
She's a Total Liar and working for the Deep State
What you have understood in fact is her opinion on the political situation , and that is all . No one in reality knows Putin that is what makes him dangerous an unknown quantity . if you watch most of the film work on Trump what she has failed to notice is he is a man of many parts, one being he will talk to anyone on their level this is the salesman in him he knows you catch more flies with sugar than vinegar , she does not grasp this mentality being an educated stupid academic thinking they are experts
Do you think Biden will get a "Putin Bump" after his glowing endorsement???
an example of the dangers of fantasies resulting from bran muffin abuse
@@ericvantassell6809 NOTHING of substance to say, so you spew some adolescent nonsense.
Brilliant 🤣
It’s brilliant! We tend to overcomplicate things when we are talking about top level politicians. But they are still people with all their weaknesses and psychological traumas that may have huge impact on their motives and actions on a global scale
Her and Vindman were mad at Trump because he didnt care about hearing or taking advise from their "Ukrainian working Group" Boo hoo!!

I really appreciate being given an opportunity to hear from Fiona Hill on just about anything but when its about Putin and tRUMP … its pure gold. I’m an American citizen living in Europe, so it is very interesting to hear her take on the future of Europe and the world order itself. Thank you!

Why is Putin endorsing Biden??? And why does he only invade Ukraine when Obammy and Biden where Presidents???
@@irenakalnins7138 What about her take on the future of America?
Agree with you Mary. Fiona Hill is so intelligent, articulate, and frank, yet diplomatic.
…I am an European 🇳🇴 living in Europe - even I/we think this is very interesting. Fiona Hill is the best 🥇and she really knows what she is talking about. She makes it easy for us to understand in a simple way of explanation.
Fiona Hill is very well spoken her thoughts are very informative. The fact that Trump did not like her is a testament of her great intelligence and integrity.
The fact that Americans seem to be too obsessed with personalities while they stopped caring about ideas frightens me.
Yes, he couldn't control her or match her intellect.
Fiona was an exemplary government servant, a major asset. It was a terrible disservice, a terrible loss to our government for her to be fired by that ignorant, illiterate clown.
@@joquartobeans398 Both Col. Alexander Vindmann & Ms. Fiona Hill are naturalized citizens & are far more patriotic than Trump
Hardly a reason for Trump to dislike ANYONE. He is very OBJECTIVE, not subjective. TRUMP KNOWS STUFF. So uninformed and willfully blind she doesn't even realize this "Putin" has NOT come out of KBG. No chance it is same man, any more that "Biden" is Biden. Goodness sakes. So very flawed and quite surely well paid. If I'm right she'll soon be asking herself, "Was it worth it."
Dr Hill is a great asset, we are fortunate to have her
Trump is a great 'asset' to Putin. Alas.
She's a leftist shill and a shrew

Correct - see Julia Ioffe "Putin and the presidents"
This is not the original Putin. Putin is a strong ally! Trump knows (a great video of Bush Sr's funeral), that both Bushes tried for treason, Senior executed with wrinkled flag on coffin. Trump speaks in code. We are in a global war!
@@Dadabides8708This is not the original Putin. Side by side prove this.
I do understand what you are saying. That first meeting between George W Bush and Vladimir Vladimirovič Putin is something that also "put me on alert", because the Republicans had traditionally been such "hawks" about Russia (and the Soviet Union before). The obvious interference of public opinion and social media advertising by Russia leading up to Trump's election showed me that Putin would no longer be restrained or restricted in anything or in any way. I knew as soon as there was satellite "proof" that Putin was moving military forces close to Ukraine that he was going to invade. Now I do worry about the upcoming election, because I can see the bots and disinformation campaigns ramping up. It is going to be rough times ahead, man. We have to find ways to get voters better informed and out to vote. We have to get "foreign influence"(s), and the corruption of money out of our politics. We have to stop letting ourselves be divided against each other, if we want any kind of "better future". It is not going to be easy, but we should not let these various "workers of inequality" (from Tony Bourdain) bring us down. The way to get ahead for a better tomorrow is to remember that our "democratic system" relies on us to be involved and do the work. And we do have the opportunity to educate ourselves for the work we should do to help our country remain strong and independent from these destructive influences (I see you, Iran and China too) by listening to ; people like Fiona Hill, Stephen Kotkin, Anne Applebaum, some of the Universities that offer lectures and "courses", and other information or historical programs, most of it all available right here on YT.
(sorry about the lengthy response. "That was my TedTalk, thanks for coming" lol)
It is always good to hear Fiona's insights. She has the talents, experience and genius to distill complex issues sown to a few simple words of clarity. A great advisor!
Of course, I was not in the room but what I saw from public video and analysis was Trump treated Putin as he would a union boss. He did not antagonize Putin and was complimentary, then went home and slapped sanctions on Russia. The result was what Trump wanted - no more action in Ukraine. He used similar techniques with Xi and Kim where he was also successful.
I am sick of our politics now which has been reduced to selecting the most likable and popular to be Home Coming Queen.
Nice pair of legs too
Why is Putin endorsing Biden???

I have a hardcore schoolboy crush on Fiona Hill. There's nothing better than listening to somebody who knows things.
Well she does not know that Trump warned Germany and Europe in no uncertain terms what Russia was doing with all the wealth they were acquiring by selling cheap oil and gas to Europe , he spelled it in very plain terms " Saying Russia is rearming with it's new wealth , because he is a politician when he talks negatively about Russia he will say Russia anything positive about Russia he says Putin . It is called tact
Agreed! Expertise is such a good look.
@@rolandhawken6628 That comment does not make any sense, politically or grammatically. The last sentence is completely incoherent, If you have any evidence to support Trump making any statement like that , please produce it. Trump does not know what he is talking about 99% of the time, and at the time this was a topic, he was spending all his time on the golf course and not dabbling in politics - unless he has been a Putin puppet longer than we know.
You're a sapiosexual, then.
@rolandhawken6628 That take as related to trump is goofy.
What are your credentials compared to her, your depth of involvement and firsthand knowledge? Or is this just Fox disinformation repetition?
She's impressive. I wish she would comment more often as a guest on news shows on MSNBC or CNN.
They don't want to reportv reality . They want money and will work with that being the goal.
They push a different narrative.
LMFAO if you dont realize why she isnt there then you never will. One speaks truth, the other two you mentioned full bore party propaganda. FFS
I wish Fiona Hill could be interviewed on the major, sane US news networks every day. She is so well informed and just tells it straight!

Fiona Hill is incredible intelligent. Greta to hear what she expresses. Thank you
Remember one thing about Putin, once KGB, always KGB, you never lose the mindset of a goon. Not sure Trump realizes or understands this.
He doesn’t. He needs Putin’s flattery.
Trump is so full of himself that he can't see that he's being played by Putin. 🤯
Trump does not care 😮
That’s why Trump likes him!
Trump has the mindset of a thug. Roy Cohn, a mob lawyer, was his mentor.
This is an example of things to come. Madness made real continues.
it has always been this way ,it is nothing new
Not if we vote the gqp out like we did in 2020 & 2022.
There is more! Putin and his buddies, the oligarchs, are vital, and have been vital, to the survival of Trump's poorly performing real estate assets, his empire, in effect.
The Trump “empire” had otherwise flatlined long ago.
Pootin’s walking wallets….
💯 % true!!
Do tell us more .
Fiona Hill said that Trump does not speek russian (true), but failed to mention that Putin masters the english language! That was a must for KGB agents.
Also that Melania Trump is fluent
Actually she mentioned that one of the great worries is that the relevant Russian agents speak English and have had direct communication with Trump without any standard diplomatic/DOS protocol/ov ersight - though she also pointed out that when Trump spoke with Trump there was normally a proper interpreter and someone creating a record of the conviersation. (Though remember Helsinki, when Trump refused to let the interpreter keep her notes and immediately afterward said he truted Putin over US intellligence services...)
When tRump spoke with tRump, the need for interpretation was greatly diminished.
I read professor hills book. The us needs intelligent people like her in leadership roles. The american people have been dumb downed since reagan, talk radio, fox news etc. I cant imagine tho, a woman of her intergrity working under john bolton.....thatsxa head scratcher indeed. From a scouser.
This is the reason Hillary did nor win..but Hillary is as smart as Ms Hill...we had the chance to have an intelligent, strong, first woman president and we blew it...we chose an ignorant narcissist lier...once again humans fail the test...2000 years ago we chose Barabas over Jesus...and on and on we go 😢😢
Her intelligence is so refreshing, we need to listen to her opinions and assessments. I was so impressed with her testimony on the investigations. It was clear, she was the smartest person in the room. Absolutely love her!!!
Give yourselves a gift and read her book. She’s an amazing writer.
Which book?
Thank you, Mrs. Hill. I very much appreciate all you have done for the US. We can never repay you for your intelligence and understanding the situation you were in couldn’t have been fun.
I love Fiona. She is brilliant, and right on target.
Brilliant! Thanks.
Read her autobio/memoir "There's nothing for you here." She is the smartest woman on the planet. Plus, you have to admire her struggles, including overcoming the irrational judgementalism about her accent. Admirable.

My recollection is that Trump refused to let any American, including his interpreter, into the 2nd (?) meeting with Putin. That Trump doesn't speak Russian would hardly bother Trump - Putin speaks English.
No, he really doesn't.
@@snowmonster42 Yes, he really does.
@@LordOfLight He has some English, but is not fluent. I gather that his German is much better.
@@snowmonster42 pootin was kgb, they all speak English. What US president has ever had a meeting with Russians without record? Traitorous ones, that's who.
Thank you Dr Hill. Trying to use Hilter's playbook (although stumbling over it because he underestimated Ukraine), Putin started WW III by invading Ukraine (actually in 2014 when it invaded Crimea). The US with its dithering, hand-wringing on one side (and a lot of that in Europe too), and overt support on the other side, is allowing Putin to do it. The roughly 80 years of peace in most of Europe (the first time in centuries) with the various efforts to unify (e.g., the EU and NATO) has ended, largely through complacency. Putin saw it and walked right in. Recall Dugin's infamous quip that Russia has the right even the "obligation" to control all of Europe "from Dublin to Vladivostok" to rid all of Eurasia from "Western secular decadence." Putin has started WW III. Where will we stop it?
Fiona Hill is fascinating. An insightful and well articulated commentary on geopolitics and current events. Well done 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Trump may not speak Russian but I'm pretty sure Putin speaks English.
Thank you Fiona Hill for you interesting insight into the Trump Putin relationship and the Russian invasion of Ukraine. Also, I don’t think most Americans realize that there was and perhaps still is a European backlash against the US in the post-Trump era. Can’t really blame Europe for that. I hope America can eventually put things back the way they were with our European partners and perhaps even make things better.
This was a fantastic analysis of Trump vis a vis Russia. Particularly enjoyed the remark about everyone having made it all worse by obsessing over Trump allegedly colluding with the Russians. Thank you!
Trump is a simple creature and I don't think the media to this day understand the damage they've done to society by constantly appealing to the worst in him (and his supporters) for 4 years straight
Trump demonstrates his limitations almost daily.
Yes sure.....everyone else is to blame, the press, the media, the 25 Republicans interlocutory statement to judges, the Republican witnesses, the DoJ, FBI etc.etc .....EXCEPT the rapist, sex abuser, adulterer, fraudster, pathological liar, thief, insurrectionist & Putin's puppet Trump

I agree with Fiona Hill that the rush to NATO membership among East European states, although it has taken place in more than one stage, is motivated by the need for security against what was once a potential and is now a very real threat of resurgent Russian imperialism.
The history of Russian incursions into Eastern and even Central Europe is long and painful.
I think it's quite silly to portray American imperialism as the prime reason for NATO expansion, notwithstanding a certain arrogance in American posturing post-1991.
I agree basically with the Ustrialov's' theory, now 100 years old, that the Soviet regime, despite its distinctive ideological and administrative characteristics, was simply another manifestation of the Russian Imperial State. In fact it retained quite a strong orientation toward the West, a legacy of Tsar Peter The Great, right up to its demise in 1991, despite attempts to sow regime change worldwide. But all the Western rwgimes used to do more or less the same thing.
What is different, bizarre, and n my view profoundly wrong in Putin's geopolitical strategy is his 'unlimited partnership' with Xi Jinping's China. Because China is far the stronger nation both economically and demographically, I think Putin has reasoned his way into a trap from which he will not be able to escape.
.The vanity of old kings whose authority has gone unchallenged, who would not listen to good counsel, is proverbial. neither Putin nor Trump are exceptions to this rule.
t is instructive to read the Old Testament accounts in Kings and Chronicles.
(Psalm 49:20) 'Man in his pomp, yet without understanding, is like the beasts that perish.'
Perfect psalm quote.
Stalin wasn't a communist so much as he was a wannabe czar. He got rid of who he was comrades with it was because their doctrinal beliefs got in the way of his desires. He murdered the people of Ukraine because they weren't convenient either.

How can any sane and self-aware person want to vote for Trump?
By looking at Joe Biden
Joe Biden.
No we don't blame NATO expectations. If you meet the requirements then you have a right to join. Appeasing Putin is a path to conflict.
So one of the questions were was there anything that we could have done to stop the 2022 invasion. This war would not have happened if there was a robust Response back in 2014 when Russia took control of Crimea. By barely giving him a slap on the wrist for that, the West basically greenlit Putin to take more land.
Please overlook my previous comment. It's late Saturday night 😉.
Seriously, Fiona Hill encapsulstes in minutes what would take me an hour to describe Russia under Putin today.
Start with the recognition that Trump has been broke since the mid 80’s. He’s been operating on OPM since that time when he found he was not fungible to conventional banks. Private placement moved in with its own version of double entry accounting. At this point, we have no idea of what web of unrecorded debt, subordinated limited partner equities, and cross collateralization is now operative. It would be fair to suggest that those OPM sources have no intention of surrendering those funds to Trump’s legal judgements. Busted
That's all it takes," He heard Putin said good things about him." Did he get a lollipop too?

Meanwhile: Biden is eating Ice cream and starring at kids on the playground.
Americans, especially on the right, have always misinterpreted and misrepresented the whole debacle regarding Trump and the prostitutes he hired at a certain hotel. Trump didn't indulge in "golden showers" and kompromat about sex and hookers wouldn't hurt Trump even if that rumor was true. He paid those girls to pee on the bed that Obama had slept in, in the presidential suite, to which Trump wasn't officially invited. That's how much he hates Obama and how petty and childish the man is. He wanted to ruin something he imagined Obama felt pride about, and yes, it is mainly due to Obama being black.
The only comment I disagree with was the comment Ms. Hill made about Putin not electing Trump as president. That comment ignores the efforts of Russia to influence the elections in the US through propaganda.
Otherwise, the video was very interesting and thoughtful.

I agree but would like to add that despite covid haven't been the biggest factor into Putin's decisionmaking, if Trump would have handled covid and NATO like a normal responsible president would have done, Putin would have seen this as a counterargument to invade Ukraine. I think Trump's persona and his presidency is part of the reason why there is war in Ukraine now. Another Trump presidency would be really bad, not only for Europe, but also the USA.
I always liked Fiona HIll's insights and thoughts.
The moderators in these Institutes of Ideas debates are always proclaiming they have 'limited time' so I rarely watch their videos now. Like so many comoetitive reality TV shows on the BBC, they seem more intetested in staging a macho slinging match than in the issues under examination.
Trump doesn't speak russian, but he doesn't need to, Putin just needs to speak enough english to flatter Trump, and he's in the bag.
Documents for Rubles.
Hill is so much more articulate, informed, and responsible than Trump. The contrast is incredible.
I also thought COVID and Putin's severe isolation dramatically changed Putin's thinking. Since I was in Ukraine at the time, I saw more of the change. Interesting that you brought that up.
Well according to Trump, he would support Poland and the Baltic nations, because they do spend more than 2% of their GDP on the military.
Don't kid yourself
