I sometimes listen to Russian radio and run it through Google translate. It’s endless pseudo-philosophy that just goes on for hours and hours. Feels like it’s a trope in the Russian world.
Can you share your process for doing that? I’ve been trying to figure out how to live (or close to live) translate TV and radio, but a lot of the tools I’ve come across seem to be geared towards cross-language conversations.
As long as you get that feeling, then no need to evaluate the content of things. We have teams of people to do that. Then they tell you what context cues to look for instead of evaluating it yourself.
Don’t listen to them. First thing putin asked was “do you want a talk show or a serious conversation?” You don’t need to agree with him but the whole interview was a reasonable and civilized attempt to show the russian perspective to western audiences.
You don’t need to do that with someone like Putin. You’re basically saying you’re cool just listening to this generations Hitler and taking him at face value.
That makes you an idiot, a piece of shit, a Russian sympathizer/asset, or likely, all three. But you’re definitely not a person who should be listened to or followed in any way. The entire point of your posting that is to try and create the illusion that Russia isn’t the bad guy here.
You accuse someone of all sorts of things, and never give them a fair chance to defend themselves through dialog. Tell me again how this is a fair aproach. Sounds like you just want to shut down someone for fear of them being right and you wrong.
I believe that he believes in what he’s saying. He’s been talking and writing articles about this for years. He’s that out of touch with reality. Remember, he doesn’t even use internet.
Except for the fact that he’s making a lot of shit up, I’m from eastern europe and none of his stories about Poland, Lithuania and Kievan Rus were accurate at all.
Also Wonder if he lost a word about the Kievan Rus’ which would give Ukraine a stronger claim on russian territory than what Russia claims for Ukraine belonging to it. Not that you should go there but that whole line of arguing doesn’t even work for itself
Yes. Putin is famous for dodging questions by rambling about random shit, but this time he really outdid himself by starting rambling not even a minute into the “interview” and going on for 2 hours straight.
