Revealing Ukraine

If ever there was a piece of Kremlin generated dis-information, co-directed by Vladimir Putin and his Ukrainian lackey, Victor Medvechuk- this is it! Oh, supporting star and Kremlin conspiracy apostle Oliver Stone deserves even greater condemnation as someone who should know better. The premise of this show is that Russia is the victim and Ukraine the bad guys. Ask yourself these questions: 1. Why no mention of the Russia-Ukraine Treaty of 2003 agreeing that both Ukraine and Russia have equal access to the Sea of Azov, which Treaty Russia has violated. Did I mention, the Treaty was signed by Vladimir Putin? 2. Why was there no mention of MH17, the singapore Airlines plane shot down, which every non-partial investigation has pointed to a Russian fired missile. 3. The show says Ukraine seceded from the USSR with a majority vote! Really, the vote was 91.3% in favor and was approved in every area of Ukraine including Donbas and Crimea. 4. Ukraine's defense industry is in shambles? Then explain why during the last year it has won contracts from India, Thailand and other countries for state of the art Ukraine manufactured tanks and armaments. Ukraine is also now in the commercial rocket space launch business. 5. Putin grew up in Leningrad and know very little if nothing about Ukraine so when he talks about one nation or people it is like someone saying Mercury and Mars are the same planet. The one point that the show is correct about is that Ukraine is a democracy and Russia is not AND Putin cannot stand the idea of a democracy and a tolerant society on his border- that is true. However, the danger is not Ukraine but Russia and the United States knows that.

Just minute 17:20 Putin recognize his frustration and intentions. After that there is an interview of Oliver Stone that seems to be sleepy and far away from the answers of Viktor Mevdevchuck, Putin's personal friend as Vlad is the godfather of his daughter. Not much more to add. The only good thing of the film s a good way to understand the conspiranoic nightmare Putin is living and his lack of humanity or democratic values. Apart from that the dramatic music is all time on and the cinematography is very poor (starting from the "poetic" naked female of the beginning of the film). It is sad to see Oliver Stone as a puppet of Mr. Putin strategy of building the business case of the invasion.

Did Putin took his medication early?

😴😴😴😴😴😴😴😴 What was he blathering on about, ukrainians ain't Ukrainians, we are brothers Then Stone slavering over him was a bit sickly beyond belief, why would you have him interviewing him, if that scared of Putin?

Has he lost his fruitloop Conspiracy mind, he is supposed to be independent but just licked, well we all know what.

One sided interviewing technique is boring, bit like Putin.

Medvechuck seemed ok but then you remember he got swapped for 50 "supposed' Azov Nazis? Who says money is more important than supposed morals?

He said he wanted everyone wants peace and he keeps his money.

An unwatchable pro-kremlin fantasy piece. Here's the recipe for this dogpile: mix equal parts alternate reality and incredulity.

Filter through a Qanon conspiracy documentary produced by Russia Today. Add a little Anti-LGBTQ for flavor, bring to a boil.

Then server to anyone that has unironically used the terms NObama, Killar, or Trump 2024.

Let's talk with facts. The movie from Oliver Stone is completely one sided. We have no presentation of both positions in the conflict and no neutral commentary on them. We get only the pro-Russian views. It is unprofessional and manipulative to show only the one view and one opinion in a conflict. Thus the movie does not cover any journalistic standards for quality and it is ridiculous to rate it with ratings like 8, 9, or 10 stars. The movie deals with two topics - was the Maidan revolution bottom-up or top-down organised. And the American interference in Ukrainian politics. On both topics I could agree with the positions shown in the movie. This does not however change two important topics that are conveniently not covered in the movie. 1. No matter if the Maidan was bottom-up or top-down organised, the former president Yanukovich was an extremely corrupt politician and he deserved to be impeached and trialed. His house is now a museum where one can go and see for himself the luxury he was living in despite the low per capita GDP of Ukraine. 2. Much more important however is the topic of the war. And this topic is much more important than who shot 100 people at the Maidan and the American elections. The absolute fact is the following: Without Russian military interference in Donbas, the war would have ended in 2014. Ukraine is a huge country with 40 Million population, with a large army, large military spendings, and military industrial complex with own tank production. It is actually in top 10 in the world in weapons production. The separatist region is approximately 5% of the Ukrainian territory. It is ridiculous to even consider that Ukraine can't enforce their control over the territory of Donbas if they were fighting separatists with limited supplies. The war lasts for years because they fight against Russian supplies. So Mr. Putin is the one that could stop the war. But he doesn't because the war is directly in the interests of Russia. Why? Reason 1: Because Donbas can be used as a bargaining chip for the recognition of the Crimean annexation. Ukraine recognises that Crimea is now part of Russia and Russia returns Donbas. Simple as that. Reason 2: Russia invests a lot in spreading the idea that Ukraine has no economic future without Russia and that the fall of the Soviet Union and the orientation towards the west bring only economic misery to Ukraine. The message is - with the EU and the US you are going to be poor, come back to your Russian brothers. What better way to keep a country poor than maintaining a military conflict to suck the taxpayers money and to scare away potential EU investors.

These are the facts, Gentleman. I agree with the opinions in the movie regarding the Maidan events, but they are not the major issue. And with this one sided representation, Mr. Stone contributed too little to the pursuit of justice and truth.
