Vladimir Putin has been ruling Russia since 1999. In that time he has shaped the country into an authoritarian and militaristic society. The Soviet Union dissolved into 15 new countries, including the new Russian Federation. In Putin’s eyes, Russia had just lost 2 million square miles of territory. But Putin’s regime has also developed and fostered the most effect cyber hacker army in the world and he’s used it to wreak havoc in the West. But the election of Donald Trump brings new hope for the Putin vision. Trump’s rhetoric has been notably soft on Russia. He could lift sanctions and weaken NATO, potentially freeing up space for Putin’s Russia to become a dominant power once again.

Correction, March 2, 2022: A subtitle translation in this video misstates a quote from Russian President Vladimir Putin. At 3:15, he says, "We need to pay close attention to it".

Поддерживаю! С введения новых санкций ничего не изменилось в экономическом плане. И на самом деле, они отвернули от себя либералов, которые свято верили в них, начали развивать внутренний туризм и строительство в нашей стране, а также помогли многим людям заработать на импорте с других стран. Кроме того, своей недальновидностью, они укрепляют сотрудничество стран БРИКС. И раньше я был довольно либерален, но сейчас, поняв, что такое по настоящему демократия, верю и своему президенту и курсу который ставит наше государство.

As a russian, i would like to say that the main reason why Putin is still in power is more people and elite politicla impotence than other. After USSR russians were afraid of politica and just wanted to live a good life like western citizens. In Russia in 2000, there was a popular opinion that you need to live your life and not get involved in politics
There is just no any other options of good politicians in Russia to replace Putin in my opinion.
Like literally noone can keep Russia somewhat “respectable” on global arena.
Что за бред, кто это лайкает? Ну и как вам жилось нормальной жизнью без политики после взрывов домов в Москве, Норд-Оста и Беслана? Вам 16? Очередной мамкин шататель, сразу видно, что не жил в то время.

One of the north eastern provinces of Georgia wanted to break away from Georgia to rejoin Russia so while the world was watching the Olympics Georgia went into that province militarily and attacked first. Russia saw the opportunity and obviously welcomed them into the fold by cutting right through Georgia in like 2 or 3 days....eventually they left. But to just say Putin invaded Georgia is inaccurate just like saying Putin was unprovoked by the west during his current jacked up war in Ukraine
Yes
I also want to add sth.. Yes, Russia was provoked by the western aspiration (e.g.becoming a NATO member)and domestic/foreign politics that Georgia was making at that time. Since Georgia's independent politics for Russia is unacceptable and percievs this as a security threat. So yes, Russia was provoked because an independent country attempted to make its own foreign politics :DDDDDD
this is a provocation, Georgia at that time and still wants to join the European Union. Russia has one rule "the enemy is at the borders - new borders and new enemies"
So I want yall to apply the same lens to western leaders. Thanks.

Or maybe he really said that and the subtitles are just out of sync, I'll need to find the original video.
