      I love how they have animations of dead bodies for Putins rise to power, but they never do that for any American presidents. Let's talk about all the proxy wars, coups, and drone strikes they did. How come when they do videos about American politicians, they don't show piles of dead bodies?

    Considering you brought up the cab story that came to light a few months ago, I'm surprised you didn't mention how when he met with Robert Kraft(owner of the New England Patriots) in 2005, he asked to see Mr. Kraft's Super Bowl ring. After trying it on he remarked "I could kill someone with this thing." Then he put it in his pocket and his bodyguards surrounded him and walked out of the room. Kraft was later urged to say the ring was a 'gift' by the Bush Whitehouse.

He cornered a rat and prepared to kill it on one occasion until the rodent suddenly lunged at him with enough ferocity to cause the boy to fall over and lose the rat. On that day, Putin realized that if something was cornered, whether animal or man, with nothing left to lose, it would become far more dangerous than ever just to fight for survival.

      @Tinil0 2 роки тому +5

      Putin is basically economic-system agnostic, however he originally felt when he was younger. His goal is power, and while the soviet-style system had a LOT of advantages in being able to consolidate power for a leader and also show power on the world stage, he has mastered control of information which works wonderfully in a capitalist society. Add in that capitalism ends up ultimately being an advantage economically, there is no reason for him to rock the boat.
      The oligarchic construction of society also ensures he doesn't have too many people he needs to befriend, bribe, or get rid of at the top who help him control everything. Soviet style socialism had way more party functionaries you had to please or dispose of and was cutthroat in a way that doesn't benefit him.

    • @SpiritsAdventure
      @SpiritsAdventure 2 роки тому +4

      Russia is neither socialist nor nationalist, rather a kind of centrism with a more or less authoritarian bias that tries to connect the unconnected and the oligarchic economic system. Nationalism in Russia with an emphasis on the tsarist past, namely Russian, and social nationalism with the republics inside and the Soviet past atmosphere, disappeared in Russia somewhere in the early 2010s, when nationalist parties began to be eliminated, and marches were prohibited due to the strengthened article for "ethnic strife". Plus, based on who mainly votes for Putin (often they are called red conservatives, which are nostalgic for the USSR), the importation of migrants (even Russians who receive citizenship by family reunification, i.e. ethnic Russians who were scattered throughout the republics during the USSR, sometimes become citizens much-much slowly than working migrants from central Asia who decide to stay) as well as parasitism on the Soviet the term "friendship of peoples, strength in unity" and so on, plus the fear of the authorities of the separatism of the Caucasus (of which they turn a blind eye to what is happening there), does not allow us to call him a nationalist who, as an example, were even before the revolution.
