- FRONTLINE investigates Russian President Vladimir Putin’s clashes with five American presidents as he’s tried to rebuild the Russian empire.
This journalism is made possible by viewers like you. Support your local PBS station here: www.pbs.org/donate.
Drawing on in-depth conversations with insiders from five U.S. presidential administrations, former U.S. intelligence leaders, diplomats, Russian politicians, authors and journalists, “Putin and the Presidents” reveals how the miscalculations and missteps of multiple American presidents over two decades paved the way for Putin’s attack on Ukraine - as seen through the eyes of people who were in the room.
The documentary traces how, prior to launching the war on Ukraine, Putin tested the waters by defying American presidents for 20 years - including by invading Georgia, seizing Crimea, and interfering in a U.S. presidential election. The documentary provides unique insight into the icy relationship between Putin and current U.S. President Joe Biden, both of whom were shaped by the Cold War, and into the evolution of Putin’s grievances with the U.S. and the West.
As Russia’s war on Ukraine continues, “Putin and the Presidents” gives essential context for this historic moment.
“Putin and the Presidents” is a FRONTLINE production with the Kirk Documentary Group. The director is Michael Kirk. The producers are Michael Kirk, Mike Wiser and Vanessa Fica. The writers are Michael Kirk and Mike Wiser. The reporter is Vanessa Fica. The editor-in-chief and executive producer of FRONTLINE is Raney Aronson-Rath.

Hello USA..why USA want to be "king" in this world?..how about crimes in Iraq at times BUSH as president of America..so many people's dies..now .how about president Joe Biden handle war in Palestine..?so many innocent people's killed by Israeli terrorist army..!!
Why nobody talk about that China has imprisoned more than 1 million Uyghurs! Why nobody talk about that Mongolian, during their expansion of Mongol empire, has slaughtered more than 100 million around the world, which, more horribly all done by blades and arrows. Why everyone think that Chinese is a more decent ruler who deserve take control of Siberia.

Putin is the kind of guy who reads all terms and conditions and clicks "i disagree"
😂 this got me laughing
true
@kennedymwatha7634 You copied this comment from the comment sections of one of his interviews. Apart from the fact that you stole somebody’s comment it is actually funny.
Terms? Like NATO boundaries?
I am the person who never reads anything and clicks on agree, I say Yes, when i have to No, say No when I have to say Yes, sometimes I say Yes when I have to say Yes and sometimes I say No when i have to say No.
Many could say, I might be a mental case that needs serious attention from every world renowned asylum & physician on this planet, but it is all Crazy, i know😅
28:57 " Putin sending his military to a neighboring country was such a shock "...,say the exact people who had imvaded countless foreign countries ...😅😅😅
underrated comment.
Under the name of freedom and democracy, so it must be a good thing. ;)
Exactly!! Lol
say those people who used atomic bombs in Japan against peaceful cities - Hiroshima and Nagasaki
Title :"Oil deposits discovered on Antarctica!"
President Biden: "Democracy will prevail. Criminal, terrorist regime of Penguins will be dealt with!"
When can we get an unbiased political documentary about Russia and Putin?
Aaron Mate probably has something out.
@@Dpinks7522what is the video called that Aaron mate did ?
The Russian side of war... or something like that... It made zelansky rolling in his grave and all lefties and globalist puppet calling this documentary as normalising evil bigoted russia lolol 🤣😁🤡🤡
Author Masha Gessen, Russian, best you will find. "The Man Without A Face." (You do read?)
this is brutal neocon proaganda at its most deranged. and part of reason americans are a lobotomized people.
Now that the truth is coming out this documentary looks more and more ridiculous!
In a distant future this video will be used to teach how US intelligence not only manipulated foreign nations but also it`s own nation
Exactly they fail to realise "democracy" has an expiry date, even for the creators of it.
I agree.
Well it still doesn’t justify Putin invading Ukraine 🇺🇦 does it? Do you people know how many innocent women and children have died?
I agree😊
Using tax dollars to lie to and manipulate the people they force to pay for this propaganda.
The author of this video, when talking about the Russia-Georgia conflict in 2008, forgot to mention to us that the UN officially declared Georgia an aggressor in this conflict. This is not a very convenient fact for the context of this video.
Not the UN but the European Commission, but you are right, Georgia was really the aggressor, by the way, the European Commission changed its decision after 6 years
@@anodkato1707 "Not the UN but the European Commission" - The Chairman of the UN General Assembly, Miguel d'Escoto Brockmann, at a press conference at UN headquarters (63rd session on September 17, 2008), officially stated: “By invading South Ossetia, Georgia committed an act of aggression and violated the UN Charter.”
😂😂😂
That's the same reason they tend to ignore the Dagestan War and the second Chechen war
Exactly👍
Anthony Blinken callin someone liar is hilarious
If Iraq was fair game then so is Ukraine 😂😂
There are literally no similarities between Ukraine and Iraq. Iraq under Saddam Hussein's rule started numerous wars against its' neighbors in the middle east. Hussein himself wasn't a good guy, he was a tyrant whose death Iraqis celebrated.
Ukraine did not start any wars against its' neighbors, Zelensky unlike Hussein is a democratically elected president of Ukraine.
What you did is called "whataboutism". American invasion of Iraq was wrong but it doesn't justify what Russia did to Ukraine
@@robertking4645 That's where you are confused at. It has a lot to do with everything. If Bush has the right to go into somebody else country and remove the president then so does Vladimir Putin shut your fucking mouth and mind your business dude. You don't even know what's going on in this world. What the United States did was beyond wrong. It was murder and now look they. Caused in the region. You are white so you are never going to see things for what it really is. You are going to put on your rose colored glasses and just go with the regular program. If United States can do it, what makes Russia not able to do it? President Bush should have been in jail
@@robertking4645 The only reason they attract Saddam Hussein was for oil. As soon as he started burning his oil fields that's when they attacked him because that's what it really was about. If you are that naive you need to go look up this stuff. It's facts. You are just a dummy who don't know what's going on in the world
Exactly Saddam kept iran in check
@@robertking4645It does actually. If Russia lets Ukraine join NATO it would give access to the USA to station their troops in the country. And probably place their nuclear weapon there as well. All ukraine had to do was agree that they wouldn't join NATO. Let's say if russia places their troops on US borders,what would you think will happen ?. Move on to iraq. So what does justify the US to kill saddam hussein ? They claimed that iraq has WMD. They didn't attack iraq because saddam hussein was a bad guy but because they made a false accusation that iraq has WMD backed by israel. I think nentanyahu's full speech is still somewhere in the medsos. He talked about how these countries will threaten israel's existence in the future
Lmao, Bush saying "we're a peaceful nation" while having the blood of millions of women, men and children on his hands is just pinnacle of irony
Absolutely! Right on point.
You nailed it 💯%
(So true )
Again left-wing Americans talking about the unjust invasion of Iraq. Why do you forget about the thousands of deaths of Iraqis who wanted to live in a democratic country, but Saddam decided to completely deprive them of their lives? Why do you forget about the millions of Kurds whom Saddam poisoned with chemical weapons? Why do you forget about the invasion of Kuwait, whose consequences led to an environmental disaster (due to burning oil) and, as a result, a million cancer cases? Why do you forget Iraq's war against Iran, in which many millions died?
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Father and son were two of our worst presidents
Putin is living proof how to deal with the U.S foreign policy
It is not that. He was willing to cooperate with the US but from bush to Obama and now Biden with the stupidity ruined everything. Now Putin won't trust the west one bit anymore. Despite still open for western companies to continue their business in Russia

Frontline is awesome 👍🏻 I need to hear this.
Did anyone noticed how and why Syria was completely ignored in this video
*LOTS* of important things were completely ignored in this video! It's a deep-state propaganda film!
Not me.
Yes
There's a lot completely ignored in this video. I'm as opposed to the Russian invasion of Ukraine as anyone but it's ridiculous how much this piece leans into the "Putin actually thinks the United States has had ulterior motives and it's foreign policy has had harmful consequences" bit, which is just objectively true and plain obvious to the rest of the world. Then again PBS basically is US State media so I guess that's to be expected.
Two words American version
The American movies are the best truth indicators- when you watch them, you know that the truth is totally opposite.
Obviously this video hurt your feelings.
The reason why eastern Europe hates Russia is imperialism, lack of economic opportunity that get, dictatorship... Look at Russia's Only Eastern Europe puppet Belarus, do they rich or poor? Look at Poland a country choose the path to erase dictatorship and communism in their ideology do they got richer or poorer in when they communism and now at capitalism
Like Crimson tide?

@@change691LE ORANGE MAN BAD! Oh please🥱🥱🥱🥱🥱🥱
The amount of lies and inaccuracies in this video is straight out evil.
This is propaganda of the worst kind, cheap and emotional. 🤮🤮
Putin's speech in Munich was taken out of context. I recommend that you watch his speech in full and understand that he was indignant that a country in which the death penalty is prohibited publicly executes the ruler of another country. he also asks directly about the expansion of Nato and new American military bases in Bulgaria and Romania
goodplace=stupid?=Russian trolls?=MAGA?=the rapist Trump's supporter?
This 👆 but again are we really surprised that they took it out of context with this narrative...
the speech is still available on yt if anyone is interrested
Bush saying "we are a peaceful nation" is surrealistic. Like all American democracy.
Yes he forgot the Atomic Bomb in Iroshima🎉etc etc
And destroying hundreds of countries
well...we live in a world.
And it’s clear that this is why Putin smiled at Trump because he is not a gold digging dog chasing after other countries’s fuel, lithium , other resources… and taking their lives for it.
It was very funny indeed
The audacity of this documentary, trying to paint Putin as the villain, while at the same time displaying the attrocities Bush did without any importance is soooo stupid amazing.
This documentary, actually paints why Putin is the good guy.
😂😂😂, putin don't need anyone to help hem look like a villain. The guy walks like a mobster bet the guy sees the godfather and scarface movies every night.
@@Ivan-tm9pd yet he's the one fighting for family, values and truth. Amazing.
@@abrahamcanales132 how is he fighting for family values and truth?
I find it funny the guy who obviously cant see thru the bullshite is name Ivan lmao....Ivan Drago another attempt by us to paint Russians as the "bad guys". I bet Ivan must think we (yes, I'm an american citizen) are the "good guys". Ivan you silly boy.
In war there is no good guys and bad guys. Everyone loses except the ones who profit from it. Who are they? The ones that are in your screen telling that ukraine is winning, Russia is losing, and we need to keep sending billions to Ukraine to protect their "democracy". Its 2023, any updates about how well this is workin out for ukraine? Yeah we help butcher those people, having them as our front line crash test dummies. There will be no ukraine when its over and the way its goin now, shite there might not be any world if WE keep poking at as ivan describes a "mobster". I'd say hes actually an extremely patient man that has put up with alot of OUR bullshit because he cares about his country and people. He dont wanna go to war with us, not cuz he scared to lose, but because he knows there will be no one left to stand victorious. Think about it....just sit and think about it. By the way Putin actually only showed respect and some liking to trump...deny it with your own eyes. Your problem not mine. I'm proud to be american but when your wrong, your wrong, and we have been doing everything wrong for a last couple years. We've been dead wrong, and the whole world sees it except us. Putin isn't a pushover and wont be bullied by US, and that's why we dont like him cause he'll stand up to us. I respect that stance in any man on this planet. END THE WAR...IF YOU DONT WANT TO END THE WORLD YOU DUMBFUX IN DC. Maybe that's what they want. Who fuckin even knows at this point what the fuck they want
Trump 2024 there is no other option
@@abrahamcanales132😂 good joke
Very interesting
Watching this after watching the Tucker Carlson interview with Putin in 2024 reveals the biased nature of this documentary.
You missed the whole point bru 🤦♂️ just like trump you fell victim to the lies and manipulation of Putin
As if Tucker Carlson's interview wasn't biased. If anything, watching putin speak directly confirmed many things described in this documentary. The guy is a revanchist, obsessed with the restoration of what he considers to be "russian greatness", he denies neighboring countries their right to exist based on his twisted view of history.
Putin isn’t wrong about most of our foreign policies, we are terrible when it comes to regime change, makes complete sense why he wouldn’t like US at all.
He is wrong though. US was racist with its regime change and only targeted the Middle East (brown people). It didn’t have much to do with the color revolutions in Eastern Europe (white people) except encourage democracy. So Putin is paranoid on us involvement and fails to see his role in the revolutions
I don't think "regime change" is included in the modern-day foreign policy of the US. It just happens that regime change is almost always possible only from an Autocrat/Communist type of government to a more democratic type. The west will always support and welcome that change of course, and Russia will always prevent that. That is how it will always be.
Putin hates US not because of his strong beliefs in sovereignty of every country. The only reason is putin’s fear. He doesn’t want to die saddam’s or gaddafi’s death
Russian bot everywhere
...and we do not like him....
Amazing how they completely fail to mention WHY Russia went into Georgia.
Why?

This is typical PBS alt left propaganda. making idiot Biden who Obama said was the dumbest person ever in foreign policy to be a tough guy with Putin what a joke. And the fact is the intelligence agencies did lie about the interference in the 2016 election. The only known election interference was the Obama administration in England’s Brexit election and Israel’s election Obama use taxpayer dollars to interfere with two different countries and their elections ! FACTS ❗️This documentary is nothing but DNC propaganda.
You have a point. Obama was an empty suit. As for Biden his dementia gets worse geometrically. I do hope there’s a debate between Trump and Biden.
OK. I am a citizen of Russia. In this movie, the Americans tell me that former KGB agent Vladimir Putin is hellbent to restore the power of the Russian Empire.

Very nice documentary,
We would like to see alo a ducumentary about USA presidents, also about wars in Cambodia, Vietnam, Yugoslavia, Afghanistan, Iraq,Sirya, Libya, and many more counties and their war, expecially who start the war and how many casualties have all together in all those conflicts and wars.
Especially the very very sad story about former Yugoslavia, unique country with values and harmony totally destroyed by deep state of America... never forgiven or forgotten
This documentary is just straight propaganda

As someone who takes a neutral stance, I think that if Trump and Putin were to work together, they could pave the way for a more peaceful world.
Instead of war, issues could be resolved through diplomacy and negotiations.
The expansion of NATO towards the East has also played a role in the conflict in Ukraine.
I don't support Putin, the U.S., or any other military organization.
My only wish is for our world to achieve peace soon! Peace.
Imagine Russia causing problems to the USA in Cuba or mexico...it would have been different story.
Putin made a promise that he would never use a country against another. Instead of being thankful, Democrats still do the opposite that

It is the problem of a democracy that doesnt allow dictators because they only get 8 years. Each of our presidents takes some time to learn. Each, except for Biden tried to give Putin a reset opportunity.

Why the Russia's only puppet county Belarus is poor while those Russia ally in past that let go communism and dictatorship like Poland was prosperous now... No wonder eastern Europe hates Russia because Russia is economic failure
👏💪👍
Yeah, especially those hundreds of thousands of russian men that were killed by ukrianians in the last two years.
I'm sure hundreds of thousands of young talented people that left Russia for Europe and the US are really proud of Putin.
Quotes I Pulled From This....

You cannot take someone at gunpoint and say I didn't fire yet . Taking Ukraine under NATO is just like putting Russia under gunpoint.
As suppose to Poland? Norway? Finland?
Ukraine in nato would mean true independence and democracy for Ukraine at which point russian citizens would ask themselves why can’t they be cool like that. At would mean push for democracy in rissia. And end of the kgb zar.
His nickname in kgb academy was cigarette butt and white moth.
Why? Because Ukraine suddenly wouldn't be a puppet state to Russia? Because they would refuse to kowtow to the demands and threats of a thug and autocratic dictator? Or maybe because Russia felt so threatened by Ukraine... a country so powerful and scary that the largest country in the world (once regarded as the 2nd most powerful in military) just walked right in and stole land twice before encountering any real resistance? How was this gunpoint again? Also, in order for NATO to be a threat to you, you have to attack NATO first. So yea.
@@irynahepburn2777Ukraine is one of the most corrupt nations in the world, first of all, no real democracy there.

@Michael Singleton yeah I'm not a Republican but I did feel/see the bias against Trump watching this. If you're gonna criticize previous US presidents for failing on Russia, then you can't ignore Obama failing his "red line" on Syria or how Mitt Romney tried to warn Obama about Russia being a rival only for Obama and Dems to brush it off at the time. Plus it was under Trump's presidency that the US started sending lethal aid to Ukraine. Feels very important in the history of modern US/Russia relations.
They should also have mentioned the cause of the troubles in Ukraine 2014 which ultimately led to this situation today!
Great point.

As I approach my 70s, I often find it entertaining to go back and watch how ridiculous US propaganda is and was, although the problem is, like this show, that its often so dumbed down that I can never seem to force myself to get through a whole show without turning it off because of the ridiculous shading and twisting of true history that I have actually lived through and witnessed.
OK boomer
@@wasdgamings ...actually if I were a boomer, I would likely already be in my 70s, I'm a joneser, a member of the so called lost generation that came between the boomers and the Xers, to which no specific social engineering was targeted at, although the dates for jonesers has been manipulated too and combined in with the boomers because so many of the jonesers just adopted the social engineering and marketing that was aimed at the boomers.
Keep in mind here, that the boomers were the first US generation to be greatly influenced and manipulated by television, as were and are most individuals of all generations hence, the generation classification itself is used to identify what particular social engineering and marketing that each generation hence was or is exposed to, however as a member of the "lost" generation, I had the unintended advantage to look at one or all. and consequently i noticed the changes between them perhaps more so than many others that were specifically being targeted and basically never completely vibed with any of them.
Further, I am at the very beginning of the so called lost generation, before such loss was noticed and patched up. I never adopted or incorporated the social engineering/marketing targeting the boomers or those generations that followed, and rather than looking to any of the post TV generations for insight, I looked more to the WW2 and WW1 generations (as well as first editions of books) for guidance and education - to which my immediate boomer elders were already in the process of distancing themselves from their elders, parents and their knowledge base as a result of the social engineering/marketing and related control of pop culture via television that was already targeting them, just as current generations are so targeted and manipulated. Hence the boomers were also known for their "tune in, turn on and drop out" pop culture.
This disconnect between elders, parents and their offspring provided for a block or disconnect in the ability for parents and other elders to pass down their acquired living experience and prime source knowledge, as such, this functioned to force the generations that followed to be more dependent on mass media and the written word as virtually their only source for historical information, of course both mass media and the written word can be colored, shaded and/or re-written to conform with any particular narrative or agenda that the controlling "elites" wish to present. :-)
I agree. I'm 30 and I've seen Americans being tricked in supporting wars abroad. By the time the Ukraine war came I knew there was so much more to the story. For example the 2014 coup in Ukraine which ousted the Russian friendly Ukrainian government that was democratically elected

Забавно как данная документалка выставляет Путина злодеем, при этом очевидно что Америка толкнула его на это противостояние.
I disagree with you. The negative energy only comes from the interviewers in this documentary but you could see some parts of it giving him the main character vibe. Well I don’t like Putin but the way he gave his speech at Munich German was really brave and bold. Aside from nukes and soldiers they couldn’t match the US but he spoke is on the point and honest. That’s admirable.
@@Anistotle what makes America the one to criticize anyone they destroyed beautiful countries Since 1945, the United States has invaded or intervened in over 50 countries, including military invasions and covert operations.
But the thing America is the who controls most media and it's hard get unbiased opinions like what there motivations are and becomes stereotypical words like comminists and etc. I want information bro😢
Don't worry my Russian brother.

America really does create the best propaganda.
Yeah, it’s not like we’re saints. We’ve created coups and supported dictators for our own interest. Nevertheless, we are way more of a free country than Russia.
True. They want everyone to think its the best. And then, get everyone to pay tax to US goverment
@Trelleborg this is straight trash they are on about a Russian collusion so the truth is bad email scandal was truth come on
Its not the best is an easy propaganda full of crap and lies simple, hitler had the best one

Why nobody talk about that China has imprisoned more than 1 million Uyghurs! Why nobody talk about that Mongolian, during their expansion of Mongol empire, has slaughtered more than 100 million around the world, which, more horribly, all were done by blades and arrows. Why everyone think that Chinese is a more decent ruler who deserves taking control of Siberia.

@@abrahamlincoln6704 I think Bush really believed his own rhetoric. To Putin, this reinforced the idea that the U.S. acts with power in mind but covers it a veneer of liberty, freedom, and democracy.
Putin can’t understand that the U.S.’s brand is selling peace and capitalism/consumerism, and that people in the traditionally Russian sphere want what the U.S. is selling, and not what Russia is offering.
Bush bears a lot of responsibility for everything that has gone wrong with US geopolitics in the past couple decades. As for his public speaking, he was just awkward and stumbling, but that is not what made him a sub-par president.
They are lying and every country buys it…. Colonialism
@@pesco3773 who the fu*k wants peace?? US? LOL

I was raised in the cold war same as Putin. and the way I feel about Russians is the way he feels about the U.S. I blame them for Korea, Vietnam, the Middle East the death of U.S soldiers to the present.

Today, Native American population is 15 million, while the European population, in the Continents of America + Europe, is a staggering TWO BILLION! A shocking sad truth. 😔
In my humble opinion, it's about time to decolonize the Colonized lands, and return it to rightful owners Native American people.
