„Both Mr. Trump and Mr. Putin are losing big wars,“ says historian Timothy Snyder
About this episode
Historian Timothy Snyder discusses the implications of current global conflicts and the role of media and politics in society.
„The world is breaking down,“ says historian Timothy Snyder. And we need to learn because the world is changing. · He sees the Russian state very clearly: „Russia is losing this war.“ · He claims that the US cannot win a war in Iran: „Mr. Trump has no idea what an actual war is. He doesn't really know what it involves.“ · Why does Donald Trump have problem with Pope Leo? „Because Donald Trump thinks he's God and Pope Leo doesn't agree.“ · Snyder talks about consequences of Donald Trump's politics on American society: „The president of United States lies about pretty much everything all the time.“ · He stresses out the crucial role of oligarchs: „The obvious move is either to destroy the government or to take control of the government.“ · He states that free public media are important for the society: „The Czech Republic absolutely should have public media.“ · And he knows what part of the day he's enjoying the most: „Those 15 minutes a day when I get to be a historian, that makes me really happy.“
