Watch the opening scene of "Putin’s Road to War," a new documentary on what led up to the Russian president’s invasion of Ukraine and how he wields power.




Putin's Road to War (trailer) - FRONTLINE - PBS

FRONTLINE tells the story of what led to Vladimir Putin’s war on Ukraine. Veteran filmmaker Michael Kirk and his team examine the events that shaped the Russian leader, the grievances that drive him and how a growing conflict with the West exploded into war in Europe.

1. Pouty, putrid pootin needs to pull his head out of his ass

Bullies are not appreciated in civilized society.

School shooters, for example, do not get invites to birthday parties & other social events.

I just hope when this war is over, russia continues to be ostracized until their govt is reasonable.

2. Looks a lot like.....

Trump, when he had each of his Cabinet members go around the table and tell him what a wonderful man he is, and what a spectacular job he was doing as president. That was sickening and "unhinged", just like Pootie's little Kabuki Theater piece here.

They definitely use the same playbook.

4. Yes, it sure does. And we know that TFG was an admirer of Putin

And he expected the same unctuous appointees...

6. Howdy, Rhiannon!

I'll be glued to the TV at 9:00 tonight, you can bet on that. I usually check my PBS programming schedule, but I'm about a week behind with my entire life it seems. Thanks for posting this. I wouldn't want to miss it.

7. Oh, good! I posted the previous interviews, but they were a little lengthy for DU

The journalist was excellent, and of course Eugene Robinson always is!

9. I miss very few Frontlines.

It's one of my "go to" PBS shows.

10. I've caught several and I also like the American Experience historical ones

When I was a kid, Masterpiece Theatre was weekend viewing in my house - also the historical ones.

3. Tonight on PBS!

This is a "must fucking see" in my book!

[Rhiannon12866]

5. Yes! They've been promoting it for a week - and it does sound excellent!

11. Degrading his intelligence services.

Where have we seen that before?

12. I have Mary Trump's latest book and she describes the damage done to both State and DOJ

Continuity was lost and the damage done in TFG's 4 years is going to last for a generation.
