Comments by "M.A.B." (@m.a.b.4104) on "Oliver Stone: Vladimir Putin and War in Ukraine | Lex Fridman Podcast #286" video.

  1. Don't have to agree with everything Oliver Stone says to be able to listen and learn from someone who has spent so much of their life trying to inform everyday people.

  2. 1:06 - Can't talk about about this war without including it since 2014. Wasn't that kicked off by Russian green men and Russian stirring up/supporting/arming of sympathetic locals?

  3. If Ukraine had 110,000 on the Donbas border, how could Putin not be aware and think invasion would go like Crimera? Glad to see Lex pushing harder questions, stone may be speculating at times but his knowledge would give important understanding. His view of western media bias on Ukraine coverage makes sense, first time hearing it since start of war in rational explanation. You would hope if there were Ukraine war crimes as widespread and extreme as the Russian horrors of Bucha and downing of MH17, by there would be some, if small, coverage of strong evidence. Push harder Lex on Stone explaining difference or similarities between his March 3rd Facebook post and what he says now.

  4. Feel like Lex is trying but Stone has started avoiding his hard questions, Lex has eloquently explained in previous podcasts his understanding people he knows fear and apathy in Russia, Stone replies his fear of social media censorship. Not the same at all. I guess Stone is known for conspiracy. Probably is elements of truth, in fact there is but is it overly exaggerated? America was behind chemical weapons in Syria? Come on.
