Neither my mom nor my grandma told me I'm beautiful - they didn't want me to grow a 'huge head' 😉. I told an old communist and Putin's admirer in Canada to listen to Vlad. He didn't fall for 'beautiful people' and was' hilarious' by saying: "Putin never said this and that!!! Vlad is a lier!!!" So, I told him that he's a FSB agent & useful for Putin idiot, had been spreading Kremlin's lies for big money. I rendered him speachless. 😁
@@h2didenkovI'm still waiting for your 10 examples of where Grand Duke Henri of Luxembourg subverted the truth, are you working on this? Or did you forget?
I've actually seen many giraffes on bicycles...in Amsterdam🚲🦒 You may be amazed that, without Putin, the Kremlin would be more brutish: he is clearly the shrewd manager who keeps a lid on a volatile situation.
Careful with that assessment. It's been a while, but do you still remember how Russia before Putin looked like? The common people were robbed blind by the oligarchs. And because of the way he is leading the country it is not a far stretch to believe that without him the country will deteriorate into that state again.
Putin is sounding and behaving more and more like a Mafia boss. He will say anything to ensure those around him are wrong footed and insecure. He will never say anything that will enable a reasoned argument against him. Ultimately it is all window dressing while behind the scenes he threatens, kills, steals and amasses wealth. he is now in a race against time, his only claim to power is his utter ruthlessness and cruelty, and we know from history that there is always someone younger, stronger and more ruthless biding their time. Putin's skill set is shared with every gangster and crime boss, it is not special. He utterly lacks the special skills of a leader: creating wealth for all, creating jobs, building bridges to other nations.
@wiggins5796 He wants to live, he knows that he would die if he uses nukes. However he needs people like you in the West and that's why he threatens....
@OKEAHKPACA-pd1gl and people like you, who dismiss the fact of how danger close we've came, would like more escalation disregarding WW3 possibility. Take of your personal and political biases blinders.
He was always like that. It's just that the westerners never really paid attention or willingly ignored the thuggish behaviour Putin displayed domestically right from the start of his rule.
Ding ding! I classify the system he created as cleptocracy. But when you steal everything you can inside the country, and all the other bosses who threaten you are signed out of the census, the world is ripe to eat. This should be a cautionary tale for the future. Western leaders were turning their heads away from the crimes against the Russian people, until their necks turned into corkscrews. They let the leech feed, and the monster spawned.
"We will continue to develop our democratic institutions." Omg, Vlad has even more fortitude than I possibly imagined to be able to repeat that with a straight face. 🤣🤣
FINALLY! An intelligent take on those lines by the kreml gargoyle. Thank you Vlad! I would be glad to hear you concerning Marcon and the "french boots" on the ground, ...Wish you pain free, healthy days, with Friendship! from Ungarn
Like Macron said it can't be ruled out because you don't know what barbaric act Russia will do next, after the elections he may go in full Putin mode and he is doing it in "Europe" a fact that Germany needs to get fully, although it has moved closer!?!
Two pieces of information (not related to Vlad's video) for those who might not know. 1) Russia has announced a ban on the export of all gasoline for the next 6 months (this follows an earlier 3 month ban in the latter stages of last year). The official reason given is planned maintenance of the oil refineries and to ensure sufficient supplies for Russian consumers and agriculture. The real reason is partly that Ukraine has been hitting refineries (thus reducing production) and partly that sanctions are causing problems with technical know-how, repairs and parts (thus also reducing production). 2) Russia has now lost 13 planes in the last 11 days. This includes a 2nd AWACS, which in turn feeds into why Russia is losing more of other types of planes, because there is no longer as much tracking and warning about Ukrainian air-defense missiles.
Just to put it in numbers, Russia experts about 4% of the world finished oil products. Not tiny, but def not game changing. Crude oil export will continue. About 10% of the world volume. Also, some countries are excluded like Mongolia, but also occupied lands with Georgia for example.
Meanwhile back in the 🇬🇧 we have the most expensive gas in the world and our infrastructure and country is collapsing 👍along with large parts of Europe.
@@QnA22 Brexit is playing it's part (borisjohnson was very keen on Brexit)but that does not explain why the 🇺🇸 blew up the gas pipeline to Europe or why borisjohnson put a Russian oligarch in the house of lords or why he flew to meet zenelski in 2022 to stop a peace deal being signed, this was stated as fact by a top German Nato officer who helped write the report (I have a copy).There have been many many videos of major problems with the EU economy due to raising fuel costs🤔 cost of living ,failing health care,mass immigration , etc etc etc. The UK is great if your loaded and total shite if not🍻And most of the councils and govern-ment are bankrupt🇬🇧🙂so more taxes will be required which will increase the existing problems as people's surplus incomes will collapse🚀☠️😀
Have you appreciated the pacing of Vlad's presentation? His phrasing and pauses are so valuable to the absorption of his thoughts and wisdom. Unlike most commentators, he never yells, never talks down to his audience, doesn't overwhelm them by spewing words like a machine gun. A rare and desperately needed approach to current events. Thanks, Vlad.
@@sweetvictory5643 naw man. i love that guy, he really is lovely. also @OP. yeah, his pace, combined with his clarity of expression, are what make these videos. not a wasted word.
And regardless of the damage he does to the Russian demographic, he also knows, even without this war, the demographics of Russia are terminal. This war is about trying to hold on to the Russian Imperial state, it's contiguous colonial empire, for just a little bit longer. Just long enough for those in power today (not just Putin, but the entire oligarchy) to never have to witness the collapse that's imminent.
It’s good to see you back broadcasting Vlad. I love your ‘translation’ of Putin’s speeches and that element of sarcasm you introduce. Stay well my friend.
These are always my favorite Vlad videos. Please translate, Darth Putin for me please. Vlad you’re my only hope. Literally anyone else I hear talk about what Putin has to say says malarkey that doesn’t lineup with your insights at all. I trust no one.
What were Vlad's arguments that made him think that Putin's fear of NATO is real and not made up for imperialistic purposes (what you also hear from time to time)? I didn't quite get that one, the rest made sense to me...
@ppens7953 Yes, Putin just told to his people and in his propaganda about NATO threatening Russia. But it was just an excuse for his intentions. Greed was the reason for this nasty megalomaniac. He wants more wealth, thus power. He just doesn't want the West to ruin his plans...
@@tijljappens7953Putin is afraid of NATO from an attacking standpoint standpoint, not from a defending standpoint. NATO is not a threat, but they are an immovable object.
Would be interested in your ideas about Transnistria. Can Moldava regain that territory? Can România annex both Moldova and Transnistria? What will this area look like ten years from now?
they should. its a security risk for the west. but the west is so utterly weak and frail, i doubt they will do anything, in fear of triggering a war with Russia.
"To know and not to know, to be conscious of complete truthfulness while telling carefully constructed lies, to hold simultaneously two opinions which cancelled out, knowing them to be contradictory and believing in both of them, to use logic against logic, to repudiate morality while laying claim to it, to believe that democracy was impossible and that the Party was the guardian of democracy, to forget whatever it was necessary to forget, then to draw it back into memory again at the moment when it was needed, and then promptly to forget it again, and above all, to apply the same process to the process itself -- that was the ultimate subtlety: consciously to induce unconsciousness, and then, once again, to become unconscious of the act of hypnosis you had just performed. Even to understand the word -- doublethink -- involved the use of doublethink." --George Orwell, Nineteen Eighty-Four (1949)
I am always impressed by how much you educate me, dear Professor Vexler! Thank you for this impeccably clear synthesis about the great dictator speech.
The Lex Fridman interview of Tucker Carlson would have been very confusing to me if it weren't for your patient persistent explanation of the traits of depoliticization. This is a request for you to talk a bit about it if you have time next chat channel vid. It's really a stellar example of what obscurantism sounds like when it comes out of an American's mouth. I think he even literally used the phrase "unknowable truth" in reference to whether or not (lol) Putin is responsible for Navalny's death. Worth a listen.
It was novel hearing Carlson, metaphorically a country boy suddenly in the big city, drop his high school voice and wisecrack delivery when interviewing Putin, a style which served him in attracting teens and childish adults. Post -Putin he seems to have suffered a crisis of political identity as well.
6:15 I think that's more of a warning to the oligarchs to fall in line and keep 'donating' to the war effort else they wanna learn to fly. The idea is that they are replaceable and he already has people to replace them in mind, so he keeps them in fear and in check.
Hope you are doing better now! Thank you for sharing your thoughts again. The way you did it this time was especially enlightening for me. Lots of love from Germany. 🌻 P.S. I'll leave another comment with a question, I only thought you deserve a single comment to thank you (and feeding the algorithm can't hurt).
Thanks Vlad. I love your inner peace as you guide us through these nightmarish times. We're learning what '39, '14 were to our ancestors. We still are hoping to dodge past easy as they too probably did. We hope it's peace.
@@FizzifilThere were also videos with him and many people sitting at a table. However, if you look at videos with him and a president of France or Germany sitting at a very long table at the very end far away from each other, then those videos are realistic.
Vlad, it would be great if you talk about the Russian porn industry. Porn is one of the main foundations of Russian economy, especially domestic economy. I have never understood why the West has never sanctioned the Russian porn industry, it would make the whole country tremble if they do so. And it is not just an economical thing, in Russia porn, both profesional and amateur-domestic is a massive social phenomena, and a very complex issue.
You're right in your analysis but unfortunately, the forces of Chaos are currently winning and gaining ground. Sure the losses are high but Putin has a ton of native and foreign meat to throw at the problem. And apparently, it works.
If feel like sometimes around 2021 Putin got recommended 1984 by someone and he took it, read it cover to cover and said to himself: "Curious, this a splendid idea!"
"In the next 6 years we will make Russia great again." Okay, Mr. Putin but why start just now, you have been in power for over TWENTY-YEARS why didn't you make Russia great over those twenty years? What have you been doing?
Thank you as I can’t quit crying about Alexei Navalny’s death, then you have an ex President Donald J. Trump praising Putin from what I know Trump’s has ties to Moscow going way back
How I enjoy your translations. Thank you Vlad for sharing so much of your experience, knowledge, intellect, political philosophical view, and mostly your spirit(: I watched Putin’s address live and more than anything I looked at the faces of the people sitting there before that sad, little insecure man, and I’m wondering what they really are thinking…Medvedev’s face made me cringe a little. Love from Latvia, Aleksandra 💙🌻💛💪💙🌻💛
I'm appreciative of your insights, Vlad. Loved the double - think theme. It's good to read between and behind the lines. Coffee (tea?) is on me, sir. Tally-ho 😊
Vlad, with all due respect, Putin said that Russia wasn't planning to invade Ukraine (for obvious reasons). So this time (3:49), I don't know why things should be different.
Great! But with the one where soldiers should go back and get into teaching positions, I had an interpretation more along the lines of, 'and don't think we don't already have a generation of babies ready for war. If you're worried about the current indoctrination going on in schools, we can switch up the training at any time, with battle-hardened mofos'.
Ah, I see it now, so that's what the trollski on the DW channel was talking about today, he was echoing Putin's speech with the "Hitler and Napoleon underestimated Russia" talking point.
Everything that Putin said had 2030 as a target date for achievement. Does Putin expect to be at war at that time? With Russia be at war with NATO by that time?
heres a book that might be useful in this community Eidelson "Doing Harm" about the compliance of the American Psychological Association with developing and excusing torture at Guatamino Bay for Baby Bushes war on terror. Yes oh yes the USA is an Empire , an Empire regrouping strengthening in maybe a much more unpleasant form than it often had. And it certainly does things as evil as murdering Navalny or keeping arctic prison camps. And citizens certainly have less protection than they once had. Still it is better than China and Russia. Canadians do not have a choice about being part of this Empire while still trying to stay safe and free and preserve autonomy in a system far more dangerous than the late lamented British Empire which i greatly prefered and trusted more. And Australia and Japan dont have a choice either BUT EUROPE HAS A CHOICE! All it has to do is create a competent military and it can do what it likes , fight Russia or outlaw torture or lunatic wars on imaginary terror. We have to dine with the devil and use a long spoon.
Brilliant and extremely useful for us all. Haven’t read other comments, so I’m guessing this may already have been said; if not please, please can you regularly do more of these ‘translation’ style format videos of the messaging coming out from both Putin and any other significant actors in the Russian space? It could be transformative for our understanding of political messaging ❤
What a wonderful translation of Putin speak. Nice and simple and understandable. It would be great to hear you do similar translations of other leaders.
An old empire not coming to terms with the fact it is no longer a top power combined with grievances against the West for getting involved economically in the 90's and with all the hardships that were caused by the transition from communism. Up pops a guy who came to prominence during those gangster ridden 90's with a cold war mentality and here we are with him proclaiming totaler Krieg as his political manifesto. I remember seeing the posters in Russia in March 2000 for that first 'election' of this guy and surprise surprise Russia was at war. I also saw large groups of people freely protesting against that war. It seems now Russian people need to be aware there very existence and purpose is war because even if the West stops tomorrow supporting Ukraine it is unwinnable. The war has damaged his military so much he does not have the resources for an occupation. You make a deal with the Devil for a peninsula in the Black Sea which the majority of Russians did, then the Devil will come back for payment on the contract and here he is spelling it out.

Hi Vlad
Good to hear from you.
My best wishes to you for better health …..springtime is coming.
Blessings & love …
I agree. Excellent translation the sub-text.
I needed this Vlad, thank you
He's like a spoiled child. Has not been corrected or informed. He should be scared but thinks he's special.
You're right in your analysis but unfortunately, the forces of Chaos are currently winning and gaining ground. Sure the losses are high but Putin has a ton of native and foreign meat to throw at the problem. And apparently, it works.
Much love to YOU. It’s great to hear a chat!
What about the eggs?
you are absolutely spot on about everything. lmao.
💙🌻💙
Very good analyse every time
Thanks for translating!!🙏🙏
Thank you for the translations.
Please feel better. Thank you for taking the time and energy to post this.
Putinese - hahaha
If feel like sometimes around 2021 Putin got recommended 1984 by someone and he took it, read it cover to cover and said to himself: "Curious, this a splendid idea!"
In few words. Orwell 1984 world order. What a wonderful world Will be . This man Is completely mad.
"In the next 6 years we will make Russia great again."
Okay, Mr. Putin but why start just now, you have been in power for over TWENTY-YEARS why didn't you make Russia great over those twenty years? What have you been doing?
A very illminating translation. Thank You again, Vlad. And best wishes healthwise.
Thank you as I can’t quit crying about Alexei Navalny’s death, then you have an ex President Donald J. Trump praising Putin from what I know Trump’s has ties to Moscow going way back
How I enjoy your translations. Thank you Vlad for sharing so much of your experience, knowledge, intellect, political philosophical view, and mostly your spirit(:
I watched Putin’s address live and more than anything I looked at the faces of the people sitting there before that sad, little insecure man, and I’m wondering what they really are thinking…Medvedev’s face made me cringe a little.
Love from Latvia, Aleksandra

I'm appreciative of your insights, Vlad. Loved the double - think theme. It's good to read between and behind the lines. Coffee (tea?) is on me, sir. Tally-ho 😊
Vlad, with all due respect, Putin said that Russia wasn't planning to invade Ukraine (for obvious reasons). So this time (3:49), I don't know why things should be different.
2:28 Sounds like west of the Jordan. He’s attempting to delegitamize the west and getting closer and closer to succeeding
Incising translation. Now, would you take a crack at WTF tRump is talking about?
Every word Vlad says is like a carefully placed gemstone forming a grand linguistic intellectual bracelet, naturally bringing everything full circle.
Thank you good sir
Great! But with the one where soldiers should go back and get into teaching positions, I had an interpretation more along the lines of, 'and don't think we don't already have a generation of babies ready for war. If you're worried about the current indoctrination going on in schools, we can switch up the training at any time, with battle-hardened mofos'.
_“I need your babies so I can wage war.”_ That line makes me shudder.
How will a crumbling economy support all these babies???
@@carolwilliams8511 careful with your pfp. Putin will snatch your little one.
Ah, I see it now, so that's what the trollski on the DW channel was talking about today, he was echoing Putin's speech with the "Hitler and Napoleon underestimated Russia" talking point.
My / our day is always better with Hello Beautiful Community
Hello!❤
Everything that Putin said had 2030 as a target date for achievement. Does Putin expect to be at war at that time? With Russia be at war with NATO by that time?
His message resonates to well in the west after 10 years of psychological warfare. I really fear 2024 (elections everywhere) and even more 2025..
heres a book that might be useful in this community Eidelson "Doing Harm" about the compliance of the American Psychological Association with developing and excusing torture at Guatamino Bay for Baby Bushes war on terror.
Yes oh yes the USA is an Empire , an Empire regrouping strengthening in maybe a much more unpleasant form than it often had. And it certainly does things as evil as murdering Navalny or keeping arctic prison camps. And citizens certainly have less protection than they once had. Still it is better than China and Russia.
Canadians do not have a choice about being part of this Empire while still trying to stay safe and free and preserve autonomy in a system far more dangerous than the late lamented British Empire which i greatly prefered and trusted more. And Australia and Japan dont have a choice either BUT EUROPE HAS A CHOICE! All it has to do is create a competent military and it can do what it likes , fight Russia or outlaw torture or lunatic wars on imaginary terror. We have to dine with the devil and use a long spoon.
Have lots of children & I will take them off your hands& you will be lucky if you see them again, good to see you back & take care.
Thank you for your insight.
My prayers are with you for your health and well-being 🙏
If you are going to extemporise Putin's speech you left out that they all begin with "once upon a time" and end with " happily ever after".
Thanks for the translation Vlad, I wouldn't have understood on my own.🙏👍
Brilliant and extremely useful for us all. Haven’t read other comments, so I’m guessing this may already have been said; if not please, please can you regularly do more of these ‘translation’ style format videos of the messaging coming out from both Putin and any other significant actors in the Russian space? It could be transformative for our understanding of political messaging ❤
That made absolutely no sense. Just another Putin double think speech.
What a wonderful translation of Putin speak. Nice and simple and understandable. It would be great to hear you do similar translations of other leaders.
An old empire not coming to terms with the fact it is no longer a top power combined with grievances against the West for getting involved economically in the 90's and with all the hardships that were caused by the transition from communism. Up pops a guy who came to prominence during those gangster ridden 90's with a cold war mentality and here we are with him proclaiming totaler Krieg as his political manifesto. I remember seeing the posters in Russia in March 2000 for that first 'election' of this guy and surprise surprise Russia was at war. I also saw large groups of people freely protesting against that war. It seems now Russian people need to be aware there very existence and purpose is war because even if the West stops tomorrow supporting Ukraine it is unwinnable. The war has damaged his military so much he does not have the resources for an occupation. You make a deal with the Devil for a peninsula in the Black Sea which the majority of Russians did, then the Devil will come back for payment on the contract and here he is spelling it out.
His speach was all BS.
People applaud when they learn they'll get a pay raise in 6 years.
They stood up.
Geez!
