These interviewers should be told (if not immediately obvious already, as a manner of respect), under no circumstances should you be asking how many people a man has killed. You might think it wins column inches, but just have a bit of a regard for what that question really means. To the interviewer, it clearly means Jack shit.

Acts like this hero when he went into someone else's country and took it over. The people he was fighting were mostly farmers.

It wasn't that long ago that ISIS attacked the Adrianna Grande concert.

Am I the only one who finds this whole thing a little bit suspicious

I wish the interviewers would stop asking "did you kill anybody?" You could see the look on his face when he heard the question. Maybe he doesn't want to think about it?

As a newbie that wants to invest, you must have these three things in mind 1. Have a long term mindset. 2. Be willing to take risk. 3. Be careful on money usage, if you're not spending to earn back, then stop spending. 4. Never claim to know - Ask questions and it's best you work with a financial advisor.

Interesting watching these former military members play mental gymnastics to justify their part in a totally illegal war.

He reminds me so much of a young guy I knew back in about 1986. He got caught cheating by his English girlfriend- he was studying Russian and visited Russia during the 1980’s protests. One BBC news feature showed the protests and there he was , hand in hand with a Russian girl. Stuck out like a sore thumb 6’+, red hair and a big red bushy beard. Would be funny if it was Paul, we knew he was studying Russian but kind of presumed he was at university.

Seems a bit too much of a story teller compared to previous guests
