Fiona Hill on Putin's Plans If Jan. 6 Had Succeeded | Emma Barnett Meets 

Watch out for woman! Woman have the most to loose if Putin wins and we go back into the 1950s.

Her accent alone is a breath of fresh air as opposed to posh.

I have lived a long time, born in the USA. I have yet to meet a native of my country with the kind of dignity and humility that radiates from Fiona Hill. She is a credit to the UK and we here in the US have been lucky to have her, and to benefit from her keen perception and expertise. Truly a class act. And brilliant.

the irony is that they are both almost first generation americans

@@raidermaxx2324 No Fiona Hill has returned to her home in Bishop Auckland County Durham. BBC has described Fiona Hill as the most important and famous face outside of the three Presidents she served in the White House. Fiona Hill is anxious to become the most famous Expert and Go To for information on America 🇺🇸, UK 🇬🇧 and Russia 🇷🇺. Fiona Hill has helped to describe herself as the greatest expert on Russia 🇷🇺 and Vladimir Putin .

@@raidermaxx2324 Strange how January 6th Inquiry 🧐 which is Nancy Pelosis baby, that they have resurrected this particular piece of Propoganda. Coincidence perhaps 🤔.

​ @@Anita-gp1gv She served in the Whitehouse. Thankyou for providing the smoking gun as to this vile propaganda. Putin is a ruthless despot to be sure but this is all about the USAs grab for Russian resources

She has a huge advantage. A really good education in a European country. Trumps nightmare. A woman. Well educated. Very capable of critical thinking.

💯💯💯💯👍👍👍👍

Totally.

What time mark does she say that!? I must've missed it.

😹

well put!

You seriously went through eight years of George Bush Junior without being ashamed? You realize the guy is a massive war criminal, and that even Obama overthrew Libya. CLinton was the first president to dismantle the world governing system by saying they were unilaterally going into bosnia, and since then every military effort has been without UN authorization. In other words destabilizing the world order and creating the american empire. The eighties under Reagan were even uglier, and before that the uglier it got.

She's an international hero: let's not limit her range or impact.

@Chamber Muses thank you. You are correct.

Agree with you 100 percent. She's intelligent, articulate, eloquent, and honest; traits that so many in Congress now lack, like" Jordan, McCarthy, Cruz, McConnell, Greene, Hawley and the list goes on.

@@jamesirwin8917 Agree with you but would have been nice if you listed a few Dems on that list.

If Trump had succeeded? He still could!

Yes it’s amazing how much her testimony mattered. He was acquitted… lol

@@DMDvideo10 That reflects poorly on the overly partisan nature of the American impeachment process, not on the validity of her testimony.

@@DMDvideo10 You took my line!

"Looking dull" didn't work for me, I think she looked gorgeous.

Fascist ?

I think they mean someone with integrity and honesty, something Donald Trump has none of, he would love to be a dictator like Putin or Kim Jong-un!!! Anyway she's an advisor, not a politician, I don't think she wants to be a politician. I do think the world needs more people like her though!!!

Yes somebody has to know something, we just can't continue to listen to bulshit

Correction, the trumpers did not listen to Hill. Anyone with a lil common sense knows trump is a corrupt criminal.

@Nadeer John That's it? Just an accusation without any reason to back up your statement? After all that I've said about how Fiona backs up her responses and what do you do? You prove me right and people like you will never even be a 10th of a person that she is.

@@enufots4621 never mind the sad little people that have little point in living... so they troll ... it somehow makes them feel better.

@@enufots4621 Not to mention 1/10th the spelling expert. Wait, did he spell his last name wrong?

Fiona stood tallest throughout Russian collusion talks. We need more straight-talking types like her in high places, don't care what party affiliation.

Unless you were a woman and then you were just a secretary.

She received her bachelors and masters degrees in the UK where the cost of higher education makes it within reach.

I just requested Fiona Hill's book from my local library (several "holds" ahead of me).

Vague, please explain.

@@haroldplante8287 Explain what?

@@acustomer7216 Fiona Hill received her higher education at the same time as me, although I was a late starter at 27. There were no tuition fees for students from the UK + a grant generous enough to actually live on (carefully) + easy to find summer work. House of Commons library now says average student owes over $50K, higher than the US.

She also operates with honesty and integrity. I can't help but view her as a hero. That's rather sad as she only did what a decent person should do. That appears to be in short supply. So many others in positions like hers, where they should have stood up in a timely fashion, waited for a book deal instead. Pogo was right, "we have met the enemy and he is us."

she is the epitome of integrity...someone who should be held up as an example. unfortunately here in America, we seem to prefer the opposite qualities.😪

Mine too.

Mine too. (It's 'heroes.') 😉

...She could cut BoJo to shreds, I think, and well-deserved. Are you going to steal her back from us🇺🇸?

she is way way too smart for the politicians anywhere

Amen to that . However it is so sad she is not . I dream of a government or party with Fiona at the helm and Eddie izzard as her num 2

She’s great a slinging BS… that’s for sure.

That's exactly what's wrong with the GOP that I left. The dummies and Political hacks are in charge.

greetings: she studied HARD .

I admire Fiona Hill but "critical thinking" is a meaningless hocus-pocus. It means what you want it to mean. All the antivaxxers who reject the advice of the CDC believe they are thinking critically.

@@cacambo589 The expression "critical thinking" implies to be open to question matters which are not proven empirically or by scientific proof. The shape of the Earth, Pythagoras's Theorem, and the causes of malaria, for example, would not be open to such an educational process. Most people consider Socrates to be the father of critical thinking. The reason I consider such a practice to be important in child development is that it encourages young minds to be self disciplined. One monitors one's own views on a subject, is prepared to be wrong and ready to self-correct. Most importantly, it demands independent study, the development of ways to effectively communicate one's views, and to tackle problems in a non-self centred way. If you think such a phrase is meaningless, then its alternative title is Socratic reasoning. I suggest you might care to look at the findings of Scott Lilienfield on the subject, which are based on John Dewey's original ideas. When, as in better schools in my day, classical philosophy, rhetoric, and the creative arts were each important elements in the curriculum, multiple choice exams didn't exist, and a fine balance was maintained between pure academics, moral/cultural/creative subjects, and physical activity in schools, this holistic approach to learning and child development encouraged multi-faceted young people.

Can you spare us some? We have a deficit!

@@eric2500 Well, my US cousin, at least it is encouraging that some, like you, recognise the problem. 🤔

She was involved in this up to her eyeballs when the Biden family was extorting money out of Ukraine.

…which has been the point of the far right since the Reagan years: chip away at the effectiveness of government, then point to that ineffectiveness as proof that the “deep state” needs to be further dismantled.

I remember her testimony at the impeachment inquiry. I was hanging on her every word. Especially when she said that her focus was diplomacy while Rudy was on a personal errand from POTUS.

A role model!

At least we learned that women need to dress in a certain way when they are on front of the TV Camera

Vindman came to the US as a 3-year-old.

Ms. Hill is one of the best things the UK ever imported, aside from my girlfriend ;-) But Vindman is one of many here, that will never allow themselves to be whisked along on a crazy train of warm fuzzy conspiracy theories that comfort the racist and racist curious among us. More people voted for ANYONE other than You Know Coup every time. Every single time. Vindman came here as a 3 year old, though he has was born in Ukraine and speaks it as a native speaker. He and his brother are exemplary members of our Armed Forces. And he refused to allow the atrocious skullduggery that the twice impeached failed Florida blogger attempted.

Your cousin was wrong. They both have been here long enough to get entrenched. They just haven’t let their ego take lead over their integrity.

Yes, that as well !

I'm not so sure that was an accurate assessment. "Too entrenched" gives the impression of a false equivalence where there is none. In America today, only ONE of its main two parties, the Democrats, is stating and revealing the truth. The Republicans are creating and anti-truth world of "alternative facts", lies, bogus conspiracies and false narratives to keep their supporters in an cult bubble of disinformation. It is brainwashing perfected. Fiona would be Fiona no matter how long she lived in America. Truth is truth, and only one party in America believes in telling the truth today.

She is a lying Brit and a backer of war crimes. She needs to be indicted.

@@Mike-rm9bb That's just absurd

@@cliftonrodgers2223 Why exactly ?

TRUMPS PRESIDENCY WAS AN LIKE AN SNL SKIT

@Mark Johnson 👈Still trolling.

Perhaps you could add a few zeros to that 10 in this case, she has to be at least a million times smarter than the dufus from swamp a largo?

Friendly Old Brit. I am a total fan of Hill as she and I come from the same part of the UK. After her first appearance at the impeachment I asked an American cousin how Hill and Vindman had been got so much press for just being open and forthright and her reply was a simple "They haven't been here long enough to get too entrenched". This interview are an absolute gem.

And the other half are/were delusional.

Public opinion and outrage is what drives political decisions. Republicans knew that Americans could care less about accountability and they were right.

I realize that Trump asking zelensky to open up an investigation into the Biden political corruption that went on in Ukraine would certainly upset the Democrats. And Fiona Hill was involved in that up to her eyeballs. The partisan hack who worries about what to wear in front of the TV cameras

Put Trump away for what exactly? Just curious.

In game theory we assume people are rational actors, and many are saying that the losses Putin is incurring in this war show him to be irrational.

@@mstar7520 Psychological aspects are crucial in variants of the game theory. For example, a saber-rattling is a form of testing the opposition. When Putin amassed his troops around Ukraine's border, Putin was testing the West on how far it would go to protect Ukraine. A proper response would have been a display of equal force (e.g., putting NATO troops in Ukraine). This most likely would have prevented the war.

Check out the Pope's web site where he calls out the US and NATO for starting the war in Ukraine it is really eye opening.

​@@toddgrady7119 The issue is about the NATO's expansion. There is a strong case that the NATO and the US were reckless. The ultimate blame falls on Russia, however. One can't get shoot someone and argue that he had to defend himself against that someone -IF that someone didn't commit any violence. Really, what is the excuse for killing civilians and children? Also, if you examine Putin's actions since he came to power - it looks like containing the NATO was just an excuse (perhaps even to himself) to actualize his his ambition. The bottom line is that he wanted Ukraine regardless of the NAO.

@@davidchung1697 Ugh, not the “NATO expansion is to blame” rationalization again. Let’s be clear about something: Russia was going to try to swallow up Ukraine no matter what. It’s a problem that goes all the way back to the 90’s, well before Bush opened the possibility for Ukraine.

The neocons had very formal schooling. Big problem.

That would be great. I'd contribute to her campaign.

I doubt she'd ever run. Usually principled people who work in civil service or non political positions in the government stay far away from politics.
