[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Very interesting interview does Putin really believe all the historical information he gave out about Poland and Ukraine belongings to Russia etc how accurate is it [/quote]

There’s an interesting The Rest Is Hisyory podcast about Ukrainian history. Basically the answer is that the whole region has a very complicated history with shifting borders for thousands of years.  There’s probably just as strong an argument that Ukraine should take over Russia, or Norway should take them both due to the Varangians, and Poland would also be in the mix there.  It’s just ridiculous to go back in history this way.  Can Spain take over California?  No, despite the fact that there are still a lot of Spanish speakers there.  It’s just idiotic justification.  And Putin  is severely mentally ill —- he’s paranoid like Stalin was in his final decade. so you can’t really rely on anything he says.  Is he really worried about nato?  Maybe but this is a guy who is so worried about people criticizing him that he poisons them or throws them out a window, so his concerns are not exactly rational.

I would be tempted to watch — I sometimes do watch the Russian propaganda pieces just out of interest, but I really can’t stand Putin’s style of talking.  He seems to me to be so utterly lacking in charisma that he’s hard to even watch.  He makes my skin crawl.[/quote]
