Lex Fridman's Analysis of Putin and Ukraine

This "analysis" aged like milk

I wish Lex would talk about Ukraine some more. Its getting tiring having the 87th episode about AI

He thinks he knows everything but in fact he knows nothing.

Putin is popular because he took Russia on ruins and made life here good again.

Lex study the project ukraine from 2007.after discuss what is propaganda

He doesn't know much about Ukraine and even less about Russia.

You know who also didn't flee? Bashar Assad, Joseph Stalin, Hitler

Lex needs to interview Douglas Macgregor on Putin and Ukraine. You could see Lex wanting to crawl under his chair with John Mearsheimer and Macgregor might make him run from the room crying but he should still hear him out.

Hi guys!!! Hey my name is Yuriy I’m originally from Moldova, invite me to your show and I’ll answer your questions on why V.Putin is popular and what’s going on in Ukraine

I wonder if the Ukrainian war has anything to do with all the lithium mining they do? Just just the Iraqi war with the oil? Very strange....

Lex might be smart, but he doesn't know anything about the conflict.

joe extrapolating gout, prednisone to cancer is nuts lol

Often Joe doesn’t know when to shut up and let his guests speak. I want hear Lex Friedman speak about Ukraine. I don’t want to hear you speak about Ukraine. STFU.

This dude has no idea what is he talking about

war is a business. smart people making money on it. and in Ukraine/Israel/Syria/Russia/Iran/Iraq etc ==> smart people did their money.
Weapons production is a biggest beneficiary, then big corps, who lend money, and then investors, who get best conditions etc.
there are no "bad" or "good" part of the world. There is only "not enough propaganda".

Lex is America's best connected undertaker.

Well said @lexfridman

It is just wonderful to watch Americans, especially you, Lex, talking about anything and everything concerning Russia! It's really funny—like watching koalas express their 'expert' opinions on the lives of elephants. 😃😃😃

Joe make the ankalaev vs poatan

Putin is someone who has a creative talent and can negotiate with anyone same as Donald trump popular intelligent and persuasive

propaganda)

it's time to interview Volodymyr Zelenskyy, it would make you intrepid...

Jeez, what a boring guest. The topic is fascinating but he's so disengaged. Get Julia Ioffe on, she's incredible.

Title: The Ballad of the Red Button

Scene: A dimly lit office in the Kremlin. Vladimir Putin sits at his massive oak desk, his face illuminated by a single desk lamp. A record player crackles in the background, playing Barry McGuire's “Eve of Destruction.” The atmosphere is heavy with tension, as the song fills the room with its haunting melody.

Barry McGuire (singing):
“You’re old enough to kill, but not for votin’...”

Putin sits back in his chair, spinning a glass of vodka lazily in one hand, his other hand hovering dangerously close to a large, ominous red button encased in glass.

Putin (muttering):
"Da... old enough to kill, indeed. But are they ready for... destruction?"

He leans forward, staring intently at the button. A slight smirk crosses his face, but it quickly fades as the song continues.

Barry McGuire:
“And you tell me over and over and over again, my friend...”

Putin suddenly slams the glass down, causing the vodka to slosh over the sides. He starts to speak, half to himself, half to the song.

Putin:
"Over and over again, Barry, yes. They tell me 'power, dominance, strategy.' But what do they know? Do they hear the clock ticking? Do they feel the weight of this button like I do?"

He stands up, pacing the room, his boots echoing on the marble floor. The song crescendos in the background.

Barry McGuire:
“You don’t believe we’re on the eve of destruction...”

Putin freezes mid-step, looking at the record player. His expression softens, almost wistful.

Putin:
"Eve of destruction... or a new dawn? Does the West see me as villain, or as necessary evil? History will decide, but I..."

He gestures dramatically toward the button.

Putin (mockingly):
"...have the final vote."

As the song reaches its final verse, Putin walks back to his desk and sits down. He opens the glass case over the button but doesn’t press it. Instead, he pours himself another drink and stares out the window at the snowy Moscow skyline.

Barry McGuire (fading):
“Think of all the hate there is in Red China... then take a look around to Selma, Alabama...”

Putin (with a sigh):
"Barry, you are too American for me, but you have a point. Maybe not today."

He closes the glass case, lifts the needle off the record, and sits in silence. The camera pans out as the room is engulfed in stillness.

Narrator (voice-over):
"In the end, even the most powerful man can be haunted by the voices of the past... and the songs of warning that echo through time."

Fade to black.

Looking back now, lex analysis has became so true 🤣

JOE ROGAN = MORON

Friedman full of bullshit.

Like the west cancer was used as a hit man

Cancer was made in a lab and the elite used it as there hit men

Why are use so closed to Russia be bad, all country's governments have dirty groups wanting power

FYI - Putin is NOT admired in India (:

Indians don’t admire Putin all they care about is making money off of his misfortune. I don’t blame them.

The right side pro Russia....my ass

These two and Musk are the one we listen two. They dont know more than us. Important. We belive Joe Rogan is the way and Lex is super smart. Dangourus way

I am Russian. Yes, some people don't believe that there is a propaganda in Russia, but some do. I am not sure about the persentage, but there are lots of people on both sides

Joe Rogan logic: Ukraine is corrupt = Russia gets a green flag for invasion.

“Putin is evil, but it’s incredible how long he’s been in power” wtf is wrong with this clown?

this clip is lex trojan horsing pro russian propaganda, i realise that now.

Seems like Joe is sooo simple-minded. Ignorant of the most commonly known facts. Amazing!

Joe, dear, if you are to rule our country for just a couple of days, you’d go SO puffy!

American propaganda here 😂😂😂

Look up Old Russian Alphabet 'Bukvitca' 7x7 matrix where Every letter had a meaning on it's own as well as every line : vertical, horizontal and diagonal was a rule/teaching to how to navigate and use the matrix of life. Look up Буквица

It's been intentionally cropped down from 49 to 33

This guy knows nothing. 😮

Joe you look "puffy" ....side effect of drinking?

This guy knows absolutely everything about Russia and the Russian language but very very little about Ukraine and Ukrainian language. Ukrainians do not care for your opinion Lex. You have not shown any support for Ukraine in the last 3 years, you sir are a Russian sellout.

Everyone is under propaganda, US is very big on it, in its own ways. The thing is can you spot it ?

that's hard to say people are not aware of state propaganda and state interests in media overall. it depends on person's mindset, education, sources and life experience, when it comes to measuring some global events and discussing it. as for me, it was enough to look at Ukrainian governmentals and their mass media to immediately bite your tongue. but anyways, conflicts of course hurt uninvolved people mostly

lol Human rights, USA is literally shitting on human rights, since the first day of existence 🤣
