Russian President Vladimir Putin used the word "war" to refer to the conflict in Ukraine, the first known time he has publicly deviated from his carefully crafted description of Moscow's invasion as a "special military operation" 10 months after it began. CNN contributor Jill Dougherty explains the significance. #CNN #News
‘Shocked’: Russia expert explains why Putin’s change of word is significant
I have a recollection that Russian law prevents a full mobilization draft unless war is declared.
Trump wants to terminate the American Constitution. Russian Constitution does not exist. Its a just a book on Putinism and nothing else. One example of that book is for foreign policy: deny everything and blame someone else, always
@e Hayes
Has the hell frozen over yet ??? Maybe this is the wrong weekend to ask that question.
Will enough russians wake up then? Or will putin who seems not to care about their lives at all (or that of ukrainians, or global livelihoods), continue this senseless war of aggression?
@SNOOPY SNOOP #1 I don’t need to know about his arguments with wife /girlfriends….. 😂
@Robit McClain That’s kind of funny and tragically true at the same time….
The sad irony is that no one threatened Russia. This is the disaster of its own making
@Hyperpandas True, I just wanted to elaborate, and it’s great to debate all their points.
@Dale Crocker when Ukraine handed back more nuclear weapons than you would even know about to Russia, and was promised by Russia to be left alone.
Where did that get them Dale?.
Do you know about that not so long ago history, Dale?
@Dale Crocker so why did Russia sign the accord Dale, if they could just have their nukes back?.
You are being disingenuous Dale, that’s why people are responding to you in such a way.
Another words Dale, you choose to speak sh t.
@Dale Crocker This is not even remotely a valid analogy, because the U.S. has not been invading, and terrorizing Mexico, and Canada, and committing genocide, forcing conscription, deporting, and stealing the homes, and businesses, etc. of their citizens, for centuries, forcing them to want to form a peaceful, defensive alliance. You conveniently omit russia’s bloody, horrible history of invading its neighbors. The U.S. has never committed these atrocities towards its neighbors ever, let alone for centuries on end.
Also, nuclear weapons have been in Europe, aimed at russia, for almost 70 years.
@John The claims about putins’ alleged fears, and concerns are absurd.
Nuclear weapons have been in Europe, pointed at russia for almost 70 years.
They can fly to Moscow just fine – 70 years ago, and today. U.S., France, and U.K. can hit anywhere on the earth with a nuclear weapon.
It’s ridiculous to claim russia doesn’t want NATO countries on its borders or even certain nuclear weapons, because the nukes will be closer. The fact is russia doesn’t want NATO countries on its border, because russia cannot attack NATO counties without severe consequences.
russia has a long history of invading its neighbors.
NATO curbs russia’s imperialist greed, and genocidal ambitions.
russia broke the Intermediate-Range Nuclear Forces Treaty, the New Strategic Arms Reduction Treaty, the Open Skies Treaty, and the Incidents at Sea Agreement, and many more!
The Mexico, and Canada comparison is a false analogy, because the U.S. has not been invading, occupying, and committing war crimes against those countries for centuries.
The fact that Russia thinks they can attack a country but can’t be attacked on their homeland is baffling

“ARE WE AT WAR”, to a bunch of kids! “YOUR ARMY AWAITS YOU SIR” was their reply!

Remind me. If someone declares war on you, are they giving you a choice?
No what is baffling is that NATO and the West is accepting this double standard ordered by Putin using his empty threats, total idiots they are being fools for Putin’s lies..
@TransformationTimeNow now that you contextualized “badly” by giving an example, compare it to how you used it with “judges” in your previous sentence. You are doing fine. 🙂 Merry Christmas 🎄🎁 I hope 🎅🏼 gives you some peace and a dictionary.
You watching CNN is baffling
@Chris King yeah that’s whataboutinism! You cant mention u.s. wars here they happened in dark ages.
We are getting rid of our enemy with just 10% of our 1 year military budget without losing our soldiers or fighting in NATO countries. Ukraine is giving us a gift, we need to do everything possible to support them.
@Adam Beal wrong.
You are absolutely right!!!
And Ukraine understands their role that we are trying to prevent Nuclear Armageddon. While I wish we could directly help, we shouldn’t because Vlad will launch Nukes.
@susrev88You think they would admit that if it were true?

Don’t just absorb this info, SPREAD IT!
The way that Putin is mocked and laughed at, with full justification, by people who would not normally talk about the leader of a country in such a manner, is beyond hilarious.
Let’s hope that Little Daddy Vlady stands too close to a window very soon. 🇺🇦 🇺🇦 🇺🇦

@Peter Pan all of them are capitalists exploiting the people whom they rule over. And recently the world has started becoming more fascist, which what capitalism turns into as it struggles to survive

Verily I say unto you, They have their reward. But thou, when thou prayest, enter into thy closet, and when thou hast shut thy door, pray to thy Father which is in secret; and thy Father which seeth in secret shall reward thee openly.” Matthew 6:5-6
@Cherry Berry You watched that movie about the bluefaced Scottish guy, didn’t you?
If Putin is being mocked and laughed at. How come NATO is always scratching their head about what to do with him ? Instead they are sending him useless sanctions and sanctioned themselves in the process as well. If it was Afghanistan U.S soldiers would’ve been there long ago.
Does this mean all those people in prison for calling it a war will be released ?
No! Because it wasn’t one then 🙄, it’s just from now 😕 that’s what Vladdy will say anyway, or the ones in jail will fall ill or fall out of a window
those have already been drafted
Its adorable you think the people in power are subject to the laws they make…
Well now he’s calling it a war he’s basically admitting this is all his doing (verbally) so we can get on with applying an overwhelming defeat and worse for him and while he has the time he can release those he imprisoned for referring to it as war and make some amends as best he can to all the innocent Russian civilians he’s put to death or completely destroyed the lives of because of his selfish desires
If he used the word “war” unintentionally or otherwise, isn’t that a breach of his own law, and why is he not headed to jail?
Because it is good to be The Czar
He is above the law.
For the same reason Biden isn’t being hanged for treason.
Simple, because it is lie, there is NO law in Russia like this, to many people in Russia call it WAR and it is fine,
Just stop demonize Russia and Putin, look what happen to people here who disagree with democrats and where is the freedom of speech here
Nobody going to prison in Russia just for saying war. They say war even in their tv channels. These so called Russia experts just lying to you 🙂
The laws apply to everyone, right? Has Putin been arrested for using the forbidden word?
Putin has long made it to where him and his cronies are de facto above the law there.
“The laws apply to everyone, right?”
Hahahahaaaa…. oh wait, you were serious? Let me laugh even harder.
@Jeremy Owens Actually I was being sarcastic, but I am glad you got a laugh out of it.
if laws did, those whom lied about WMDs would be war criminals
@Nigget-tv-videos As much as I would like that to be the case, not sure there is actually an GC/international law that would apply there…
Now, those who used the “preemptive war” doctrine, that the supposed WMDs were in service of, would be a different story (as that is not a valid/legal casus belli.)
Putin has increasingly more and more made himself a good candidate for a caricature illustration.
yes putin needs removing, but my own nation (UK give Blair a knighthood) and UR nation did nothing to those who lied to wage war and invade Ira with false lies of WMDs. they should be war criminals too
I look forward to the day when one individual can not subject the masses of people to there will, nth Korea, China, Russia hold such leaders
@Elizabeth Pedano Trump wishes he had the same power
@Bruce Grant Every country where America has had a conflict still retains its own government and culture. People love the narrative that the EU and other of America’s partners are puppet but
*never cite any evidence*
@moya kiska You went back in time 52 YEARS. 🤣
@C.K. Lee Your TDS is obvious. Get help!
@Elizabeth Pedano I don’t think Trump would be good for the country. The president has to tether lines between parties and political groups. He wasn’t very concerned about that.
But if possible you meet and discuss with all heads of state as the US President. And if you can get an understanding of the mind of someone with power that might oppose you. It’s important advantage. He liked the hell out of Kim UN, but as President he had to start cutting personal involvement with He had the integrity to do it, and tell Kim everything to his face.
We’re in trouble. All of us have to outfit the positions of government in a way respective of conflict and agreement within the government, as it partains to our home-state, and the nation; all while being careful to spot manipulation under it’s countless motives. I want access to all the guns I can think of, but stern screening to ease the mind of non-buyers is something I want y’all to have. I don’t feel ok at all about stopping pregnancy of a fetus that’s very developed. Stop it as soon as possible, or prevent. But conservatives or Republicans mess with that issue to get a “win”… claiming that they are motivated by Jesus. That’s dangerous plus wrong.
We have to get ahold of our understanding of interactions and functions within our government system. And d be rigorously demanding of candidates. Exactly how do they define their purpose in office? Overall objective/conflict solutions/daily schedule.
The gift of gab has caused bad effects over time.
It was impactful how President Trump did what he said and made a prolonged effort to keep reaching out. But his abrasive personality mixed terribly with the liberal (especially rich) people. He should have been wise enough to keep an adversary with the ability to influence so many from using it as a weapon.
Hey! He said “war”. He needs to go to prison for 15 years, right! His law 😁
@Ona Babona What question?
@Floyd Mayes what games???
@Gospel of Jesus Christ When you have an enemy with nuclear weapons, you may end up with NO cheek to turn!

Does anyone else wonder what humankind could accomplish by working together as citizens of the world instead of working hard to defeat our world neighbors.
@thomsen256 We competed for resources LONG before humans were overpopulated on the planet.
You should tell that putin
No
Imagine where humanity and civilization would be if we didn’t tear each other down and we all work together as a species.
Ask Putin…the aggressor who invaded their neighbor land…
Thank you for posting this video. I had thought I heard Putin use the word “war”, but wasn’t sure if it had been mistranslated. Perhaps Putin should throw himself into prison. Either that or he owes a pardon to everyone his regime has so persecuted.
@Goose~N~Gander Its easy because its true. Also I’m not an American and hold no allegiance to those people so i don’t see what that has anything to do with it? might as well talk about José Mujica or manny pacquiao for what its worth. But were not though are we. were talking about Vladolf Putler. Whatabout Julius Ceaser, the tooth fairy or the man in the moon?
@Fractal walrus Wherever your from I’m sure you have a corrupt politician or two lol
@Goose~N~Gander absolutely! power corrupts! Especially when your in power for too long. The longer you have it the more corrupt you become.
@Fractal walrus I don’t think I’ve read more honest words all day. You hit the nail on the head with that one 100%.

Does it mean that Russian people on the street can say “war” openly? And even say that they are losing the war in Ukraine?
Nope, only Putin can say it, anyone else would get their brains blown out
No, Like with Donald Trump, laws don’t apply to dictators.
Those who speak of peace but no agreement is the sign of a plot. Sun Tzu art of war
I had to look it up but yeah. good quote. Another that’s pertinent to Putin’s situation is “Wars begin when you will, but they do not end when you please.” Niccolo Macchiavelli
@Quotheraving Two good quotes.
Putin is like your loud mouthed neighbour who breaks into your house and now lives in the spare bedroom. He then holds you responsible because you won’t negotiate his demands to use the garden.
Good one.
What is worse is when your neighbors think you need to negotiate for peace by giving up your kitchen.
Of course they need to start officially calling it a war at some point, how else are they going to explain that they are losing their entire standing army?
“Oh yeah, we just lost our entire army in a special operation.”
@Very simple investing The fact that the war’s only bene going on for 300 days and Ukraine has already lost 15% of it’s land, and the majority of it’s infrastructure.
@Kryzzan So what there’s all US infrastructure behind Ukraine. Wars are being won by those with deeper pockets and russia is no match for US. End of story Putin made a mistake coming out of his little bubble 🫧 world but unfortunately that’s what happens when you think you’re invincible
@Very simple investing “End of story” You seem a bit overconfident and arrogant. (no offense intended)
@Kryzzan That’s how the thinks work nothing arrogant about here
And to think all eukraine loses is the entire country in the process. Oh well as least elensky and the corrupt Dems in DC got rich. 🙄
When you make new enemies daily you will become surrounded by enemies.
Just like the US invading and bombing defenceless countries.
@zap. Gosh , zap . Sage
Couldn’t agree more.
Putin is the definition of “self-destructing”.
Me thinks his body doubles aren’t “that into himm” another example of going off script or not learning his lines when hee hee tee tee feeding scraps to ruzzian press , this double also now drinks and eats at public events (previous pootoon known for not doing this )these pootoon’s all seem relatively healthy ,whereby the real pootoon known to be suffering from “cancer or Parkinson’s” ,Why does this pootoon actually talk about the real reason to go all in up to threatening nukes for Ukraine (not for NAZI’S, standing up to NATO BS),Alex Duggin let the cat out of the bag and it be the same reason trump was so desperate to hold onto president(besides riding shotgun for pootoon)it’s this unofficial (yet all dolls and players know and probably voted on) the battle for THE RAIN KING, To find out The ruler of the World WHO be in favour of THE GOD’S (THE GOD’S OF CREATION, ZION SUNBIRDS)HEY NOW THEY SPOKE by denying trump a second term ,they spoke by denying pootoon Kherson and Special military operations success , but like trump , pootoon can’t accept the loss so like trump resorts to spoiling and PERFIDIOUS lies and attacks on civilian’s to try and strongarm democracies from supporting Ukraine, this will be OVERTURNED Very shortly When JUDGEMENT DAY is signalled and all this mess and deceptions put right and those That are evil and evil in all of us is SEPERATED FOREVERMORE and sent on their way in Hells Eternal Punishment And THE GOLDEN CHOSEN CHILDREN GIVEN THEIR RIGHTFUL INEVITABLE JUSTIFIED PROMISED REWARDS “LIVING THE DREAM WITH THE TEAM “Boundless FREEDOM’S, Boundless Rewards as GOD’S , Living FOREVER, no pain, no fear , no need to eat or drink , We get OUR FLYERS WINGS to move around “ZION’S KINGDOMS” on WILL , A NEW WORLD ORDER ,A NEW TOMORROW FANTASIA KINGDOM without any evil and evils downsides , THAT ALL ENDS ONE-DAY SOMEDAY ANYDAY THE GREAT DAY, OF ZION’S RETURN AND OUR COLLECTIVE MARRIAGE INTO YOU 2 , THE NEXT SOMEONE FOR EXISTENCES FOR GOODNESS SAKE, I LOVE IT YEAH, SLAVA UKRAINi SLAVA VICTORY HOHOL HEROYAM SLAVA GLORY AND PRAISE TO SION THERE CAN ONLY BE ZION SUNBIRDS OF CREATION ALL FOR ONE ONE FOR WHOLE OF WHOLENESS THEIR RIGHTFUL PLAN ZIONMADE GLORY AND PRAISE TO SION, A ALIVE A MAN TOO AMEN ALL FOR SOMEONE’S!!!🌌🐻🐓🎆🎡🦜🐔🌍🐣🐥🐦🐧🛩️✨🔥🎯🎀🍒💋🐤🎂🎇🎈💍🙏💎💎💎💎💎💎💎💎💎💎🙏
