  Watching the debate 3 years later is really interesting.

  Quote of the debate “our diplomats are lying?”…”yes, that’s the real world!” These people are despicable.

  It’s so funny, in 2025, to watch Radek describe an hypothetical in which a US president talking about conquering Canada as if it is impossible and absurd. Life really comes at you quick.

  I can’t believe I’m just learning of these debates. I wish our government in the USA could be this articulate and respectful and actually debating instead of the elementary school like mud slinging and exaggerated accusations making up our national conversation.

  McFaul's definition of US diplomacy: We are big fat liars, because that's our view of the real world

  When Mearsheimer says Putin is not an imperialist and the crowd starts laughing says it all

  McFaul's closing statement: "imagine a world where weak powers just have to submit, they have to accept whatever other great powers tell them..." well, we don't need to imagine, that's exactly the world we live in,  under the rough ruling of the US

  This thing was very good. We need MORE of this in our media and society.  Clear debates from both viewpoints. This is how we solve problems.

  It was interesting to watch the reports with Navalny, in fact he is a blogger, but it is impossible to perceive him as a politician, a patriot, as a specialist in public administration. He doesn&apos;t know the basics. I remember he participated in the election debates against Ksenia Sobchak. He said he said: I will increase the financing of the healthcare sector by 2 times! Ksenia asked him - why 2 times? And what is the current % of funding for this area from the state budget? Navalny could not answer her questions... He&apos;s just playing to the public, creating an image of an oppositionist. Navalny is like Tikhanovskaya and Zelensky. It&apos;s an oak tree. The puppet. His main audience at rallies is teenagers, young people. Twice he was given a suspended sentence, it was a signal to calm down.
