Putin is a WORLDWIDE CRIMINAL but don't be afraid of a nuclear strike from his side - he cannot do it alone, and the top militaries around him have families and want to live. It's just a threat on his part. He uses your fear to prevent military aid to Ukraine. BY NOT CLOSING the SKY OVER Ukraine NATO becomes an ACCOMPLICE of Putin's CRIMES AGAINST HUMANITY

But Gorbachev is cut from a completely different cloth than his "successors" and I miss him so much on the world stage - he had so much to offer and many more productive years of life (span) - not terribly aged man at the time he stepped down.

And the power of was concentrated in very few hands, that not even dead were going to leave. It was a system that had to fall. Gorbachev's virtue was to avoid nuclear war while that was happening.

The Problem is, and that s a problem of the russian society, that russians believe in "strong" leaders. We Germans made the same mistake in case of Hitler. But those Leaders, and i mean those Oligarchs too, put the most of that money in their own pocket and so steal it from the russian people.Usmanov owns a yacht named DILBAR, which costs 800.000.000 Million dollars. Where do you think he got that money from ? Did he invent something or built a company like Bill Gates for example ? No, he steals it from the russian people like many other Oligarchs. And Putin allows it to built up his Power. The real economic Catastrophe to russia is coming now, wait one or two years after those sanctions. Russia is totally isolated worldwide, cause no Nation want to deal with a War criminal like Putin, who kills Cvilians, children,old people, who bombs a country back into the stonage. And for what ? To protect his people ? Does any other nation attack russia, bombing their cities, killing their People ? NO, THEY DIDN T !

Face it, for years we were terrified of some thugs in fur Ushankas coming to rape our women, trample our fields underfoot, and burn our churches. Mikhail Sergeyevich changed all that. He was and is a passionate man and above all, a real humanitarian. Stalin would have crushed protesters underfoot and sent entire extended families to the Gulags. Chernyenko, Andropov, and Brezhnev were all the same, staying in power by doing nothing.

Why are there so few interviews with Gorbachev and why are they always short 3 -4 minutes? Is that really how long the interview ran or have significant parts been removed or censored.

A silly commen, Rush Limbaugh used to say that a map of the US was on Gorbachev's forehead. But, seriously.. I honor Gorbachev. When the Soviet Union was beginning to unrravel, and his people were telling him to stop all the people from moving to the west, Gorbachev did not do anything. He let them go.

Mr. Gorbachev left me expecting to hear something constructive but instead he left me with one critical hint that Putin is not the person for the job. Anyone thrust into a situation to assume power the way Putin was and at a time when the Wolves- read the WEST here-were at the door and had already had the thieves and robbers lined up. Only a man of Putin's calibre could have saved Russia and come back within 20 - 25 years to regain the esteem of it's people instead of holding their heads bowed before the whole West for another century Am surprised Gorbachev omitted to recognise this one aspect which was the most critical factor at that juncture.

Well.... Yes, but it came at the expense of the freedom of the everyday people. And this is naturally a concern for Gorbachev, since he's seen where this leads. He's one of the very few, maybe even the unique leader of the USSR who outlived that monstrosity, which eats its own leaders alive and drags their souls down. Gorbachev has a certain kindness which helped him to remain somewhat preserved in a very dystopic state. But he knows his limits, and the authoritarian regime has a life of its own, sometimes, which can force national leaders to do things they would rather not do: shed human blood.

+Conomoto Apologize And you're just like the English who hate Thatcher, 'because they were there.' Or the Yanks who hate Obama. Reform is painful. It's sad that so much suffering has happened in Russia, but Gorbi was certainly not the cause. Even if, even if what you believe were true and you are smarter than all historians and analysts and professionals and others who lived through Perestroika - it's impossible for one man to ruin a country. Impossible. Your political system was corrupt, it's still corrupt and Gorbi tried to change it. This is the thanks he gets. It's the same for every politician - Churchill was voted out as soon as he'd saved England and won the war. Why not try to find out why things 'got worse' under Gorbi - find out what political forces were at work - why did Yeltsin suddenly sweep to power unopposed? I mean, come on, man, think about it. Why did the apparatchiks turn against Gorbi and then support Yeltsin and then become capitalist oligarchs? And why did the yanks refuse Gorbi's requests for aid? This is all freely available stuff - all filmed and available on the web. The nationalist Russians who pour over these videos are right about one thing - America wants a weak Russia. America wants a weak everywhere and if you actually want to understand this check out 'Peter Hitchens - Why I Like Putin.' Or perhaps TL;DR. It's your country.

I'm not a Gorbachev-hater by any means, in fact I'm very grateful to him for bringing an end to the USSR. But we have to remember this was unintentional. His plan was to reform the USSR so it would be able to end its long, painful stagnation and survive, but his policies unleashed forces that ended up tearing it apart. And clearly, as we've seen from Putin over the past ten years, he was wrong about Putin here too: he's absolutely unafraid to use violence against his own people.

I`d rather have the Soviet Union intact over the current Russia we see know. Gorbachev was naive, but he gave Russians freedom. Then Yeltsin came to power, and enabled Putin.

I`d take Gorbachev over ANY other Russian leader. He is a very good man.

Does Gorbachev ever explain how that happened and where the money is now. ?
