- I think it’s interesting how the government/putin manipulates people through their

personal beliefs such as religion.

- After watching a couple of the videos I think it's important to address How dangerous it is

to elect the same president multiple times and leave him to do as he pleases.

- Watching how Russia is, I realized how important it is for people to speak up for their

nation and fight for justice instead of leaving it to be.

- A quote I found interesting was was “with great power comes great corruption”

- Putin’s beliefs of manipulation through religion and limiting freedoms came from the

period of time he was born in. He was influenced by his country’s previous events

instead of just making up his own beliefs.

- Putin’s fear was what caused all the conflict because of his powerful will to get

security,sovereignty, and power.

- Putin and his government is basically a government that acts upon something then

utilizes a whole different reason like blaming it on other countries or just weak excuses.

- These excuses are made up of manipulation, and a bunch of non connected proofs.

- Another quote I find interesting, scary, and odd is “Let us remember the horrors of ww2

by inflicting them upon others”- Putin. I don’t know how to feel about this. I think the

international police should get involved.

- Speaking of international police I think there should be a branch specifically to

investigate presidents and governmental leaders. Criminally, because the power they

hold is immense which benefits them and easily helps them get away with crimes.

- I think Putin blaming the west for his involvement with the Ukraine war is irrelevant

because if he wanted a war he could fight his own, and keep his blames to himself.

- Russia with its great geography, resources, and technology compared to what they’ve

established both economically, and financially shows that they’re not as strong and

unbeatable as they seem.

- It’s interesting though how much influence Russia has on bordering countries, and just

countries in general.

- From the last video I took away that Russia might seem scary but in reality, they’re all

talk.

- In my opinion Putin should be changed, and the election and electing regulations should

also get updated.
