Oliver Stone interview with Vladimir Putin, Stone was extremely complimentary of the man, yet the BBC/PBS pushed it, and Stone said the Russia election thing was all smoke with no fire, Russia had nothing to do with Trump and the 2016 election. And he even labeled the coverage of it as FAKE NEWS

0-00

Vladimir Putin is a former KGB operative

0-02

he understands the importance of

0-04

television he understands the importance

0-05

of image is it possible that he's using

0-07

you to send a message

0-09

perhaps you that isn't really a true one

0-11

that he doesn't really want okay well in

0-12

one he certainly know it's an elaborate

0-14

ruse but I'm he knows that I'm not going

0-17

to change American policy but what I

0-18

should I'd like to do is contribute to a

0-20

consciousness of what he's saying you

0-25

have had unparalleled access to Vladimir

0-28

Putin for a Western filmmaker what do

0-31

you hope all that access is revealing

0-34

about him I hope to it would lead to a

0-36

serious interesting and discussion about

0-39

world affairs particularly US and Russia

0-42

she wouldn't yeah at the instability she

0-44

is previously understood tell me it's I

0-46

use Nick over he lays out a world that

0-49

we don't know you know Russia's referred

0-51

to rather than eleven only in the

0-52

Western media but let's get beyond those

0-55

those images those caricatures and

0-57

that's what I wanted to do is it your

0-59

impression from these hours of

1-01

interviews that Vladimir Putin genuinely

1-03

wants a better relationship with the

1-04

West absolutely there's just no doubt in

1-07

my mind he referred to the United States

1-09

consistently as our partner I never

1-11

heard a bad word there was some

1-13

criticism under Miss unjust he said I

1-15

didn't understand why our partners were

1-17

doing this and the Ukraine point and the

1-20

Syrian point when he explained

1-21

Ukrainians it in a way that perhaps a

1-24

westerner can understand that the

1-25

Russians look at this completely

1-26

differently than we do so I have to

1-28

wonder where is the the threat that we

1-30

talked about where the NATO commanders

1-32

are perhaps exaggerating this to get

1-35

make sure that the Alliance stays

1-37

together and they've implied that

1-40

Russia's behind everything in the West

1-42

that was wrong what's their concerns not

1-44

it's not bespoke with practically any

1-46

traditions you are Adam a Putin directly

1-49

did Russia hack the u.s. election and he

1-52

tells you it's all lies do you accept

1-55

that he didn't put it that way but he

1-57

thought it was a preposterous statement

1-59

but did you believe him when he said I

2-01

probably I absolutely believe that

2-03

there's all smoke and no fire are there

2-05

would you agree with President Donald

2-06

Trump them when he says that stories

2-08

about Russia hacking to influence the US

2-11

election a fake news

2-13

oh definitely as Putin said I think it's

2-16

an internal political battle in America

2-18

and I think it's worked I mean it's

2-20

obscured the possibility of resetting

2-23

the relations it's installed everything

2-26

you've spent all this time with a man

2-28

who has been called a ruthless opponent

2-31

accused of killing his political

2-33

opponents did you ever worry that you

2-35

might be unwittingly a tool of Putin

2-38

propaganda if I was and you know it's

2-41

certainly an adventure but I don't buy

2-43

those old spy Wars you know the English

2-47

are great at inventing James Bond sort

2-49

of scenarios I didn't see him as doctor

2-51

no no he's a very rational man
