I think you all are lucky to talk with this man, he has knowledge that no one else has. As we have all been speculating.

[JD-irfj]

He is worried that his people will find out about his corruption.

[debbiejoseph]

Putin calls himself a Christian??, and can do this??

[Alfarojv]

Why is it that those who know they never have to fight are so brave with the lives of others?

[audience]

Not difficult to understand the motives of a thief

[anonymouspaz]

I don't really like cbs news but those were some damn good questions

[Knowledgethatsaves]

I think I'm more surprised that people can go around calling themselves former KGB Spies and Agents. I wouldn't want the whole world to know that. IMO lol

Russian Military do the Right and Honorable thing and take Putin out of Power

His heart has definitely turned black. Curious how his people are taking it since his last speach. He talks about cleansing and that can’t be accepted. He’s just one man and the world distrusts him more than ever. He chose evil opposed to humanity. The world does not accept and will not. He can’t win playing the fear card. It’s really so incredibly insane because he’s an intelligent man. Well it doesn’t look like that now. His troops coming back home. They died. He’s eliminating anything that doesn’t believe in what he does. He’s threatening the world and that’s something we need to join together on. The fact he’s turning on his own people. He’s not one to trust ever again.

Saw him speak at a church in St. Charles, IL, about five years ago.

Snipers of the world walk together and catch him

This is a very accurate interview that the American media should learn from. So tired of biased new reports from CNN and NBC. Thank you CBS and please keep up the good work!!

[marywrong]

That is the fact. We must know who is making the statement. Important major difference between the two countries is, " RULE OF LAW vs. RULE BY LAW ".

[matthewkashnig]

He could stand down now and save so much face.

OK, CBS finally just real reporting with a credible person to interview. I thought good msm journalism was dead.
KGB man refused to whisper to us sweet fairytales. Good

Jack Barsky is the type of guy who LOVES how smart he is and loves the jobs he was given, he never really had a good love story for himself so he gave his all towards education.. I mean look how big he tries not to smile when someone points out how he's smart how he's the man...

[markbishop]

People needs to Stop guessing. Because it might put them in a bad way. Because you might be doing what he want NATO do

[dadon]

Never trust a traitor! They’ll tell you anything want you to hear, so you can keep protecting them
