You know, maybe we ought to let the leaders get drunk together more often. We could drink ourselves into utopia. And now that marijuana is legal in many states, perhaps more world leaders will head on over to make peace with us. Just sayin'
Stalin and Churchill did something similar during their first summit. There were three meetings, and after the third Churchill went to have dinner with Stalin in the Kremlin. They got horrendously drunk, and Churchill departed on good terms with Stalin. Stalin did something similar with the negotiation of a non-aggression pact with Japan in April 1940. The ambassador from Japan was so completely drunk that Stalin and Molotov had to take him to the train station themselves and put him on the train
+Kino C From what I understand Yeltsin was mocking the media, because they reported that the meeting with Bill Clinton would be a disaster... and it's probably why Bil Clinton started laughing much earlier in his announcement cause he knew what he was going to say....
+Mylionking Back when Boris Yeltsin rule Russia the Russian people hated him when Putin came to power Putin gave the people pride not like this drunk old dead dude
+Mocte Zuma Right? US *loved* Yelsin. He was a drunkard lackey and a Wall St. guy, the Beltway loves these types - the leaders who bow to US dictates. Putin gives the West the middle finger, which is unacceptable to US elite.
+Mone Sabri Jesus, everyone is at your throat for that aren't they? I wish I could've grown up in the 90s, it seems like a time when no one really cared, and that sounds great.
"Dear ladies and gentlemen, dear journalists. I want to say first of all that when I came here to the United States for this visit at the invitation of the President of the United States Bill Clinton, I did not at that time have the degree of optimism with which I am now departing. And this is all due to you, because coming from my statement yesterday in the United Nations and if you looked at the press reports one could see that what you were writing was that today's meetings with president Bill Clinton was going to be a disaster. Well now for the first time I can tell you that you're a disaster!"
+mrdarku80 ..... you really don't remember how badly Bush fucked up? And how stupid of a person he is?? I can't believe you're saying he's better than obama. just looking at plain statistics, obama has been much more successful than bush
If conservatives saw Obama laughing in public, they'd be at his throat, demanding he explain why he was busy laughing instead of improving the economy or whatever.
Yeah, it's totally not the fact that Obama is in a very different climate than clinton. however, why do Democrats worship him like a king that can do no wrong? I'm sick of partisan bullshit fools for your party.
+Gentry Walker Putins too busy laughing at Obama to laugh with him on anything. Putin goes into any country he wants and does anything he wants while obama is too busy "improving" the economy or whatever with obamashitcare.
90’s in Russia was a real stark contrast to the 90’s in America. 90’s in America had so much optimism. 90’s in Russia was having your dad open the door and check the outside floor to make sure there wasn’t any used heroin needles before you left for school
90’s in Russia ’s similar to 90’s in Vietnam. Some of my high school friends their dads were drug addicted. There was once time my friend invited me to his apartment and I saw his dad using a needle to inject drug.
+xCaptxCrunchx This is known as the Reagan effect. Presidents get higher approval ratings after they've been out of office for a few years. I think nostalgia plays a part.
Correct Translation. the translater got it little bit wrong hahahaha :D he was talking about the journalist not bill journalists thought this meeting between Russia and US was going to be a disaster, because there were a lot of contentious issues on the table for these two countries to resolve. Journalists believed that there would be no progress if meeting takes place now. Yeltsin said, for the first time, I can say that you journalists are disasters, because this is a very productive meeting.
Over-The-Shoulder Boulder Holder You use the same old trick: the "good atomic bombs" who saved lives. Pathetic, really pathetic. 2 atomic bombs dropped on civilians... that was a war crime and a genocide, stop.
Japanese army pillaging Nanking and other cities, or making experiments which make Mengele look like a pussycat, or abusing civilians at Okinawa....What is that then? Hiroshima had military targets, at least
It's nice to see a President be a) in charge of the situation, b) have the requisite knowledge and experience to know that he's in charge of a situation, c) be so comfortable in his skin that he can laugh at himself when he messes up, and d) do it all in such a way that another nation's leader laughs along and hugs him. THIS here is what real leadership and great diplomacy looks like. Disarm the leaders of other nations, make them your friends. Too bad we now have an immature and extremely insecure man-child in the White House who is too stupid and inexperienced to credibly pull this off...
I mean, neither of these guys were great at their jobs, but they're a heck of a lot better than what we got now!! I honesty wish politics would go back to this. At least people would be happier lol.
I'd like to see them 2! But those marines and soldiers are sooo disciplined, you can chuck rocks at them, and they wouldn't flinch. Well, actually they kill you. But you see where I'm going
The interpreter is >300, I wasn't expecting this after what I hear nowadays. Drunk or not these ppl could handle themselves in public and never sounded stupid. Let alone rape jokes, hatred, arrogance, which were back then entirely absent
both of them are just like " I can't believe i run a country, a hole goddamn country"
Not just any countries but the most powerfull countries. lol
"With goddamn nukes"
*whole* 😂
America is one of the best country! Can't wait me arriving there
But all the world was in peace!
The 2 most powerful men in the world, laughing like two old friends.
It's beautiful.
No it isn't. Nothing beautiful about those @ the top of a monopoly on violence (government).
Fuck outta here
They're not laughing like friends. Bill is laughing AT yeltzin, not with him.
you are so naive lmao
I feel like they got drunk and realized, "Hey we like the same things, drinking & women. Maybe you're not so bad."
+Bleah Bloobly And then the cold war ended.
+Thorntonian ...with a cold one :P

Well old Billy went to Epstein island a couple of times so I doubt that.
Ah, a time when the President of Russia and the President of the United States didn't take themselves too seriously. What a sharp contrast from today.
+Kino C From what I understand Yeltsin was mocking the media, because they reported that the meeting with Bill Clinton would be a disaster... and it's probably why Bil Clinton started laughing much earlier in his announcement cause he knew what he was going to say....
That's because Russia is our enemy. Fuck a friendship with Russia.
Now look !! It seems that Trump recognizes Putin as his equal
mindelo23 The Eagle must seek friendship with the Bear.
Yes!
It must be so fucking awkward being that translator LMAO
Clinton's laugh is just priceless
GOLD
Ironically, what Yeltsin said about Clinton is bloody true!!!!!!
"We've got them by the balls, can you believe it? Btw. What is my Eppstein Island ticket's status?"
clintoris
At least Clinton is having a good time.
+Grey Ronin I miss slick willy. Such a BADASS! So much better than our last 2.
He was always having a blast, that one xD
+Diana A ...into Monica Lewinsky's mouth.
+Gentry Walker I would to if i were married to Hillary...
Gentry Walker yeah, except that time he missed lol
Two of the most powerful human beings are at laughs ! Better than whats happening now !

+Mylionking If you think the president is the most powerful human beings you are being blinded to the facts.
+ddstar Considering he has the sole authority to launch thousands of nukes at the turn of a switch; I'd say he is fairly powerful.

I miss the 90s
+Mone Sabri Move on with your life

Tell this to croats and serbs
@@gendrybaratheon7012 and the russians lol
The decade of optimism.
This is the type of relationship between countries that we need
Dude… you can tell that Yeltsin is drunk to the ground and Clinton is just laughing fake…
Mutual alcoholism?
Yes
I miss those times
@@morganhillfightclub2996 i wouldn't mind getting a bj from my hot coworker... damn anyday
Russia never missed those times
Two of the most powerful men in the world at that time, were two wiiild and craaazy guuuys.
2:07 Yeltsin: "Sheesh, Bill! It wasn't THAT funny!"
Well, I guess you just had to be there..
"Dear ladies and gentlemen, dear journalists.

No teleprompter either
I can't decide who is worse...

Altho my name is from a partisan slogan, just replaced word fascism with imperialism.
both are shit
trump. trump is worse.
Look at Boris 🤣💛. Not even aussie and he sounds like us. Bill love how you laughed 💛🤣🙆🏽♂️
Two of the funniest presidents of all time
The best presidents ever. Now everyone is all grumpy and crazy.
***** Medvedev is just Putin's puppet though, LOL!
+PutinindaclubIbizaDisco1999 Have you never seen G.W. Bush speak?
+mrdarku80 ..... you really don't remember how badly Bush fucked up? And how stupid of a person he is?? I can't believe you're saying he's better than obama. just looking at plain statistics, obama has been much more successful than bush
Oh the 90's such an innocent time.
+Jim Babaduk its still existed in the west it has since the revolutionary war
it did though....???
I am a disappointment to my parents ....atleast afgan war had ended in 90s
Yeah so true. Apart from Somalia in 91, the Gulf War and the bombing of Yugoslavia. Great times indeed.
Terrorism in Algeria 200k people dead , yea the 90's such an innocent time

+Gentry Walker Let's make this about partisan politics!
+James Ford You nailed it right on the head. It's sad that something so cynical is so true.
+Gentry Walker Putins too busy laughing at Obama to laugh with him on anything. Putin
goes into any country he wants and does anything he wants while obama is
too busy "improving" the economy or whatever with obamashitcare.
The subtitles give a more accurate account of what Boris was saying...
How Bill Clinton laughs is GOLD
And THAT is how international relations are done..
Yeltsin next day :O dont remember going
in USA
one seems drunk and the other high kinda like wacken
Make Politics Jovial Again.
Just brilliant stuff!
Such a genuine laughter
I wish I was 15 years older for enjoying this on live tv

Про Россию вранье
Its a bit sad but I just can't stop laughing every time I watch it
I did not have sexual relations with that woman. In fact, I was too busy laughing with another president.
lol, all of the sudden Clinton doesn't look too bad.

Clinton was crying 😂😂😂
One thing you'll never see again or for at least 100 years. A Russian and American leader laughing and joking together like friends.
The 90s vibes! Best times
And this guy had his hands on a nuclear case...
which saved us a nuclear war so lucky it was him instead of putin
He nearly pressed the buttons during a false alarm...Fortunately he didn't
It wasn't Putin or Russia who launched 2 nuclear bombs on civilians, idiot.

good times of our parents...missed them
Fun fact - Bill Clinton is now the same age as when Boris Yeltsin died.
Now that's a contagious belly laugh, l ended up laughing my ass off
the 90's years were the best❤
Who were they best for? US? Maybe.
Yes. The largest number of suicides, deaths and banditry in Russia.
Legend

Republicans: Lmao
Democrats: lmao
Libertarians: lmao
Greens: lmao
Independents: lmao
Everyone: lmao
hahaha you can tell straight off when he gets up to the podium he's drunk as hell
Twas a good time in history.
I don't know which is funnier -- Yeltsin's remark or Clinton's response.
When corruption was hidden!
Those were the days.
I mean, neither of these guys were great at their jobs, but they're a heck of a lot better than what we got now!! I honesty wish politics would go back to this. At least people would be happier lol.
If only this was how it was between our 2 leaders today.
good time ❤🖒🐐
One loved lewinsky.
The other loved lewhisky.
look at those giggly babies, precious
Clinton's laugh!
Redundancy is strong in the title.
put subtitles on guys, interesting stuff 😂
when was the last time we saw 2 world leaders like this? can we go back to the 90's please?
back when calling disaster was still funny
This title implies that he was never not drunk...
A better time. Oh well.
+Tommy W. (MisterMortimer) Other than US economy in what way in Russia.
Tommy Wertz terrible times for Russia though.
Slick Willie is getting a buzz off the fumes.
Good times.
Old, slick Willy just got Greased!
omg yeltsin is so cute *-*
Good times....
Nice to see
The English translation is uncorrect.
"to have disaster" = "fail"
One is drunk and the other is laughing
the best president !!
I miss Yeltsin he was cool
I too. P. S. I from Russia!
Borys THE BEST ;D;D
Boris Boris Boris...
I somehow can't see Putin doing that
Ah, the time USA didn´t take Russia seriously! How has it changed from then to nowadays!
Yeltsin was never a KGB officer.
why is that funny
Wish they showed the guard in the background. I bet he was cracking up
I'd like to see them 2! But those marines and soldiers are sooo disciplined, you can chuck rocks at them, and they wouldn't flinch. Well, actually they kill you. But you see where I'm going
Putin is to Yeltsin what Nolan's Batman films are to Joel Schumacher's.
So hilarious hahahhaha
One f@cking with interns and the other f@cking with vodka. Good old times.
Boris Yeltsin needs to be back, the best president of Russia ❤️
Yeah, being dead for 15 years won't hold him back
@Рома Лагойда thats why he was good
Omg he's drunk lol
Cassandra Williams It is hard to tell, since he had a couple of strokes from all the drinking.
^^^i bet it's from the Vodka.
i guess he was always drunk
the TRUE end of the cold war.
gosh lol
I love how all the comments talk about today politics. I'm just here for the laughs.
Yeltsin was very fucked up president. I don't know who was worst. Bushes or Yeltsin lol. But Borya was hilarious.
Sure that Putin will never make such an embarrasing entrance!
Yeah he’ll just murder innocent civilians instead.
The good days before the current days of the apocalypse
Ah oui quand même
I wish Yeltsin was still the president
Omg how i got. Here but funny
i dont think boris should have been president, he should have been a party man.
The effects of alcohol and marijuana.
The interpreter is >300, I wasn't expecting this after what I hear nowadays. Drunk or not these ppl could handle themselves in public and never sounded stupid. Let alone rape jokes, hatred, arrogance, which were back then entirely absent
For Lenin the party was Everything
For Yeltsin…
The Party was everything
Other way around
Jelcyn rządzi... ł 😂
a-hahaahahahahahah-hahahahahah hhh
I despise Clinton with a passion but I gotta admit this was a good moment
