    1. They don’t look like they’re applauding willingly, only out of fear, look at their worried expressions. Why the hell they don’t turn that fear into aggression against him is beyond me – it seems his people have been subjugated for so long they have lost the will to resist his regime, it’s really sad.

    2. Not a strong argument, but no body is recognized if they do bad things.

      I’m just saying, try harder next time.

    4. @Pete Lind The difference between applause for Putin’s speeches and applause for the US President in Congress is that EVERYONE applauds Putin’s speeches, and only the members of the President’s party applaud the President’s speeches. Interesting, isn’t it?–Why do you suppose there’s a difference?

    1. @Tim Tom…American critic BS. NATO moved east the last time in 2004 touching for the first time the russian border directly and it didn’t bother Putin. And this even tho the Baltics hate Russia much more than the Ukranians did before 2014. And why start a war now when Putin already set the condition where Ukraine cannot join the NATO? Furthermore the NATO was slowly falling asleep in the last decade, a few years ago Macron called it brain dead, which means it was absolutely no threat for Russia. No, the NATO thing is only a pretext to justify a mere recapture of Ukraine. The real thread was not the NATO but Ukraine becoming a successful democratic country with western help, showing the russian population how much Putin deceived them with his anti-west propaganda he made to isolate Russia to allow him and his friends to easily fleece the country. Btw, if he fears the NATO, why would he invade a country that is not in the NATO with the predictable result that now he has another 1300 km of NATO border with Finland? Especially cosidering that he thought that the Ukranians would be easy to beat while it’s known that the Finns know how to fight the Russians.

    1. Bunny dear, do you know that what YOU think and say does nothing to discredit what l said in my post, because the truth of it towers above every man’s opinion, because it is not my opinion, but the truth e.i. reality.
      I’ll gladly be called a lunatic and shunned by those who are lost in this broken, crazy, confused world, but knowing life which they never knew and having future they, being lost and undone, will never have. Time will tell all things….many who insult and mock now will wish they could recant their words, but it will be to late for them. So will you, dear soul, so will you…..

  6. There was a scene in the movie “The Dark Knight” when character Alfred was explaining, regarding the Joker, that “some men can’t be reasoned with…they just want to see the world burn!” Yes those types of people do exist. Most are behind bars, and Putin is surely one of those. The audience in the conference room here in this video are all thinking, “So how do we deal with this mad man now?”

    4. I have the same personality type as the Joker, ENFP. I’m not only not behind bars, I’ve never been convicted of so much as speeding. Putin doesn’t have my personality type. Fidel Castro and Ernesto Guevara had my personality type.

    3. @the wicaksono I was detained in Russia because the Shurenyenko airport didn’t open their transfer desk and had blocked access to other terminals. Stupid place i was laughing at those poor guards the entire time. They looked like heroin addicts. (They gave me papers and let me go because they screwed up badly and didn’t like it when I flashed them my friend’s business card, then Baltic Regional Security Chief for the US State Department. I also got 5 Turks on to the place with me who has been detained, as well. Incompetence due to lack of giving a poop under a system that treats their people like robots.

    4. @Henry Seidel we know that, but scores of Americans protested and were not thrown into prison for showing their disapproval. There’s no way you can compare the systems other than engaging into a stupid war. And for very different reasons

    1. @tnbrfller I think it was also a brilliant camera man job.
      They are not very animated, compare it to state of the union address. It’s the same scale event.
      Gorbachev and Eltzin were humanoids, Putin is some there between a fish and a moth. You have no idea how big creep he is.

  12. Its always interesting how us as people will go at each other because of what country we are from, but in peace time around around the world we show we are all human beings who have love for one another. You can see this through out youtube, from videos made from people around the world and love around the world.

  14. Putin: “We declare this region to now be Russia.”
    Ukraine: “So why do you run away from us there? And by the way we’re joining NATO.”

  18. Putin: “Everyone clap, or you may accidentally fall from a tall building…” It’s amazing, watching WW2- style dictatorial land grabs in action before our eyes.

  19. Take care and stay safe. I have neighbors who came to Canada in June and are considering going back because the husband is having a hard time learning english therefore it’s difficult for him to work. I’ve been trying to talk Zoya ( the wife) into staying especially since they have 4 kids. She tells me that Ukraine is strong and will win. They have a strong fighting spirit. Keep yours Larissa.
