The interviewer is bordering on chatty though..maybe her infatuation with the audience.

This is a very dangerous.woman. She spouts utter rubbish as if it is the history of the modern world. Armchair psychologist. Would love to hear her talk about Iraq and Afghanistan, just for starters. You bell end, only the US have used nuclear weapons in anger. She doesn't even know Russia's policy on nuclear weapons. She is a disgrace.

Nuland??

While The Great Men Speak...the women watch and listen.

Hey! I'm from down south (canterbury) - University in London - living in Alberta Canada - and I think Fiona is absolutely first class. (But one of my old mates was from Boldon just out of South Shields) Just sayin - not all us southerners are snobby with our RP accents and stiff upper lips!

She's awesome. Her knowledge is vast and she articulates it very clearly. She doesn't sugar coat it either. She is not seeing a rose tinted future. I'd listen to Fiona talking about a shopping list to be honest. She makes everything so interesting.

Refreshing? She's a pathological lying warmonger.

she is a woman that’s all

😂

these are the idiots who thought that the best way to spread USA values across the planet was to kill 100,000 Ukrainians and Russians, while supporting a NAZI regime.... . Are you serious ....? they ought to be flogged

Aside from the fact that most of it is bullshit......

@@igorkeszthelyi7627 Sorry, what does your comment mean?

Why? Would you have been shocked if a man with the same portfolio had presented?

@@cslonginotti I was not shocked either. Realising that she has been in this position for some time, and every time I've heard her speak I've always been impressed that whomever appointed her had made such a wise decision.

But completely full of shit

Scott Ritter presents very little facts … he skirts around a topic, drops a few “truths” and then adds his own flavouring on the topic of Ukraine. When he speaks about the topic he was actually experienced in - WMDs and the time around that - he knows his stuff. His admiration of Putin is clearly evident.

Not a page of notes in sight….brilliant!

@@dororthyruth3045 A couple of cackling hens.

Too late for Biden, she’s moved back to UK.

She is an evil would be imperialist who should be on trial for her part in causing this proxy war in Ukraine. Putin stood up in Munich in 2009 and asked the West to establish a joint security structure. His speech is on UKposts. Listen to him. Russia's position has not changed and is perfectly reasonable. Putin wants peace. You will learn more than you will listening to this woman for a year. The West refused. It wants to break up Russia, loot its resources, and reduce its people back to poverty. That is insane. Then the USA wants to attack Iran and China. There is a completely out of touch Deep State in the USA which has a Dr. Strangelove mentality. They are betraying the American people, and everyone associated with them.

Brilliantly evil.

She's been coached to do that , all of the politicians and the people who work for them are coached on public speaking and mannerisms

another western woke😂 your propaganda is killing the west

That was her analysis. Perhaps she was wrong. Certainly seems determined to paint Pres Putin as incapable. Just like all the Western propagandists.

@@docprune9922 Rule 1 never underestimate your enemy, and rule 2 always leave your enemy a way out. I think he's so used to doing what he wants he' unaccustomed to anyone saying no. He's positively misinformed and misled by those under him and a victim of the sycophantic and corrupt system that he created, but he's still the very capable ruthless tyrant he's always been.

Why do people say this, vote someone in as PM. She's a putin/russian expert and kinda cool. So why does that automatically make her PM material. How many people have you said that about? Ricky Gervais??

He was a very low level intelligence officer.

Nothing Putin or anyone else could have done would have saved the crew of the Kursk. Of course he's a bastard, but so was everyone else who has ever ruled Russia. If Putin dies, we will be faced with someone else who will undoubtedly be the same "type of person."

Offers of assistance from Norway and the UK were delayed by Russia. Crew members who survived the explosion may have been rescued had offers of assistance been accepted sooner.

Putin has sacrificed the crew of the Kursk in order not to reveal any Russian military secrets.

Zele sacrificed 40 m Ukrainians and the 'civilized' world praise him. Stalin once said: "One man's death is a tragedy. The death of millions is statistics!". Zele knows it quite well. Hundreds of thousands dead in exchange for fame and fortune.

@@andyniblock43 Survivors were dead 24 hours after the disaster struck. Putin became the head of state just 6 months before. Americans torpedoed Kursk to regime-change in Russia. It was Yeltsin, West beloved President, who led Russia to demise.

I highly recommend watching all of her other interviews in recent history, especially on Frontline. Her overall understanding of broad-view Russia is tops; also Amb. Marie Jovanovitch and Julia Ioffe on Ukraine.

Her dad was a famous football commentator in Britain 🇬🇧

The more I listen to this the more I realize just how biased the presentation is. The WORLD is not on board with sanctions & now distrust the financial centre's which can steal states deposits at will. The petro dollar is definitely at risk as evidenced with resources being traded in non dollar currencies. I read the Paul Wolfowitz doctrine (1991)which was adopted in as US policy in 1992. The original draft that caused much alarm until wording adapted speaks volumes wrt world status today.

Not a civil war, but an invasion Mr. Troll. Russification has been going on for centuries. Worse in Stalin’s time. Never mind what excuses the kremlin makes, it has always been the aggressor.

She's excellent. Intelligent, insightful, and measured. Not a trace of arrogance.

Her ability to shift emphasis of the US efforts to overcome Russia economically, and be capable of exploiting Russian Assets are evident. The direction of her work is evident.....

@@danielhutchinson6604 Amusing. The US "capable of exploiting" Russian [a]ssets? Uh, Daniel, heard of oligarchs? Heard of this short shirtless dictator who some claim may be the richest man in the world? The folks who are exploiting Russian assets are kleptocratic Russians. The exploitation is a Russian homegrown problem. Try to keep up with Russian history and the news.

@@jim2376 I like to feel that I have been paying to many sources of information about Russian actions in current international relations. I have been watching Eastern Europe actions as best I can from the US, since 1995. Your representation of Bad guys and shirtless Kleptocrats appears to be spoon fed from the US State Department? Would you like some Yellow Cake with your Propaganda?

@@danielhutchinson6604 Keeping up on the news? Really? Pity it hasn't sunk in, Putin fanboy. Keep reading those back issues of Pravda and stay clueless.

yeah, non attractive side decoration. Glad she knows her place

We have them, but in back rooms and back channels. Pomp and bluster front and center.

We elect people with no experience to lead the West. No wonder the Europeans are so concerned with our succession of Presidents who face a steep learning curve. Biden is an exception as was George HW Bush.

@@geraldjones8010 Really? I believe she is so far from knowing the real Putin.

If you say so, I would highly recommend retired Colonel Douglas MacGregor of the U.S. Army, professor John Mearsheimer, professor Stephen Cohen both political science experts in the region, Journalist Glenn Greenwald, Matt Blumenthal, Tucker Carlson, Matt Taibbi and countless others here and abroad who aren't shills for the propagandist in the U.S. State Department , Ms Fiona Hill certainly being one of them along with our complicit and ineffective corporate media...... For those who are not familiar with the Minsk Agreement and it's history also known as the Minsk Protocol which was signed on September 5th 2014 and Minsk II signed February 12th 2015, as a resolution to the conflict in that region. (remember these dates and who was U.S. president and vice president at the time and why they took a particular interest directly meddling in that countries affair which very few Americans knew about at that time.) The Minsk Agreement which was supposed to bring end to the Ukrainian governments bombing of Ukrainian citizens many of which were of Russian descent in the Donbas region (eastern Ukraine) supported by the Russian government. Implore all to learn of this history with complete and cogent clarity, I'm afraid Ms.Hill fails to provide this history but prefers to speak about Putins mental health, affiliations and other incoherent nonsense (propaganda techniques towards the general public).(U.S. state department proxy war interest in Ukraine) to install a puppet government in Ukraine, which they facilitated (2015) which would do there bidding for the U.S. State Department in the interest of Liberal hegemony warmongering and NATO following our lead, we control the (purse) on U.S. taxpayers back thereby we control the narratives and regime change meddling which sadly the U.S. has been doing all around the Globe, Does anybody need to be reminded.... this proxy war is no different just different propaganda! Footnotes: Afghanistan Libya Syria Iraq North and West Africa....... Living by the sword promulgating liberal hegemony and enriching the military industrial complex and their political goons!!!

Soros hand maiden,really something to aspire to.

I agree! I’m from Texas and have a mild accent but my college roommate has a much thicker accent. He never gave it up and is a big executive for Goldman Sachs living in Manhattan. He’s also a doctor by training originally.

Fiona friest of oll needs analysis Biden friest clean up infrant your door. Analysis how Americans buying Russians oil and sales to European 4 time expensive.

She is ideologically biased

Because she is a genius on these topics. Would you prefer Boris Johnson or Donald Trump?

Putin doesn’t care about the future of Russia or happiness of the Russian people. He is throwing his own people to die as cannon fodder, to die for his ambitions. The only thing Putin wants is infinite power for himself.

Facile.. exactly

John M, your "analysis" is vigorous hand-waving with little substance. Troll harder, comrade.

Great points!! Fiona Hill is a Neoconservative propagandist. I guarantee no one on here knows how Yeltsin was pushed by our Neoliberal economist to force Neoliberalism on Russia. All the Russian assets were stolen by the oligarchs and fifty percent of the working class was thrown into poverty. Putin turned things around. I was fifteen when the Cuban Missile Crisis happened. Our country went nuts but apparently it OK to put NATO at Russia's border. These people come across as spoiled children.

I really agree I’m from America i think our system need some changing i Pray everyday there real leader that will step in office in will actually make some changing globally but people in America thinking everything a joke thinking we won’t be touch in our leader behavior in government be like let go do crazy stuff or do Fuck up shit in leave it on the American people hands in get in a plan in flee the state that is so damn sad we have people in office like that!

Agree entirely

Great question!

Have you?

She has US citizenship and worked in three presidential administrations Bush, Obama, and Trump.

@@johnbaugh2437 I know that was a sarcastic comment lol

@@rasul407 haha! Gotcha

interesting

I think he was taking the opportunity, make it or break it, before Ukraine would join Nato. Don’t agree with Fionas optimistic view that the Chinese would do anything to stop the war, they usually avoid taking responsibility. Lets be prepared for a long war…. 0:02

I know, it sounds ludicrous on its face. I’m no fan of Putin, but so much of what she says here is total shite. The world needs us to help them with these conflicts? That we create she means? If that isn’t gaslighting, I swear. I find it curious that she also states that Putin/Russia cannot comes to terms with the reality that it’s not as capable as it/he think they are. I think the US/West is finding this out right now. Also, no mention of Russia Gate, NATO expansion? She’s either ideologically locked into a position or she’s calculating this interview and the answers for certain public consumption. No mention of the continuous warnings about NATO expansion from Putin since 2000’s? No mention of BRICS? Of Minsk 1 or 2? Not only does she suggest that Putin is making up the NEO nationalist problem in Ukraine, she suggests that Zelensky is some kind of Churchill? The guy is sacrificing his country on the alter of western oligarchs and corporations as we speak. The fact that Zekensky was voted in to bring peace with the enforcement of Minsk Accords? What’s even crazier is that she suggests that this whole operation was kicked off basically by himself and his 2 friends, not the Duma? Even those who don’t like him in the West are admitting that is false and that he has historic support and approval, he and his country see this as existential, after stuffing Ukraine full of money, weapons and training their military for 8 years, they should. Just ask her what the US would do if Russia did that in Mexico. Ukraine is absolutely losing this, they never had a chance and it’s because of people like her that their country has been led down the garden path of destruction. Ukraine deserves better than these greedy vultures, for shame. This whole thing is about American hegemony,the rise of China and the fact that US elites sold itself out for larger, quicker profits, so instead of working WITH other countries, we must crush and dominate them? Europe, Germany especially, is being de industrialized as we speak because the key to their economic growth since WW2 has been cheap gas. We’re now able to sell them( and the rest of Europe) LNG at insanely inflated prices, No mention of the fact that we backed the coup in 2014 in Ukraine or the IMF loan that resulted shortly after? What utter bullocks this lady is, I guess she knows her job is spinning propaganda, so I can’t she’s terrible at her job. At least she’s honest that other countries are hesitant about their investing in the US, in sure a large oat of that is because they know who find every excuse to freeze, then steal their assets if they step out of line. If I saw Fiona on the streets in Washington, I would throw a tomato at her. Disgusting.

Has their been a large ukranian military build up, they seem to lack everything of real affect, tanks, jets, missles. And are supplies being given to or credited to ukraine, how much debt is that country amassing?? There is an after war, and id guess thats why putin hasnt leveld the country flat, something well within his capability.

...and the emperor's advisors told him what a beautiful suit he was wearing.

@@jeffmorgan5152 He was nude yeah? Birthday suit.

Factoring in NATO expansion and how Russia views that might answer your question. Putin isn’t just doing this to be a dick, it’s a high cost move

In my lifetime, I've so seen a lot of people who think they know what is going on in someone else's mind and most of the time they have been way off or only partially right. And I can't see how Fiona Hill is any different.

@@gregorytaylor7410 . Such a pleasure whenever I see people that retain the wisdom of observation , critical thinking , nor lost the art of being able to hold a conversation with calm politeness , and much more . With out me going into great detail , I can assure you with the greatest of confidence that Fiona Hill ( no relation ) has not the slightest idea of what President Vladimir Putin is truly like . What is extremely troubling to myself and many others , is the very danger the Brookings Institute poses to the vast population of people worldwide . I just simply had an instantaneous intuitive instinct that seeing your comments , that you should know you are very much noticed and appreciated . Please don’t respond as I am really struggling to keep up with my heavy schedule . Hopefully , one day in the future , our paths may cross again . With much respect , from Robert of Australia 🇦🇺.

Zele is as short as Putin. And Reznikov is a shortie! That's why Zele doesn't want no direct negotiations with Putin for his 1,5 m height and mental fatigue and mediocrity will be visible to anyone.
