LIFE IS STRANGE 2: What we know so far, what to expect - Duration: 10:07.
Welcome guys, this is Ola from Stop Me Oh Channel and as I promised,
I am back with another Life is Strange video.
Now, this is not a video that I expected to actually make anytime soon
because we know so little about Life is Strange 2.
I mean we even know more about the bonus episode.
Somehow Deck Nine is more open about what's going to happen in their games and stuff like that
but Dontnod, they don't really share anything at all pretty much.
But first of all let me just say that as you probably noticed by now
I have a new background music
that was recorded for me by my friend Lorenzo Tonelli
and I love it so much, he's very talented.
And I hope you guys love this music as much as I do.
Now, as far as sources go for that video,
that particular one that I'm recording right now,
I used plenty of information that I found on Life is Strange Wiki page.
I know some people that create that page, and it's a great source of information
so I'm going to leave a link in the description as well.
Basically, I'm going to leave a lot of links in the description
so you can always check the things that I'm saying
and see it for yourselves
So it all started with that announcement
that Dontnod made a while back
Have a look.
/ And between all these messages one question comes quite often on the daily basis, I could say. /
/ It's what are we doing at the moment? What are we working on? /
/ So what we can share today is the fact that we've been working, since the release of the box version last year, /
/ on new Life is Strange game with the Life is Strange team and we cannot wait to share more about this with you. /
/ Thank you so much, bye. /
They announced it exactly 2 years after Episode 3 trailer.
I'm certain that I knew about it, and they were aware what they were doing.
But we still don't know anything about Life is Strange 2.
Now, I know that Dontnod people often reply when people text them and ask them stuff,
so I decided to try for myself
and I texted them, messaged them on Facebook
and I asked them if they're willing to share anything, any hints
Because before, when I used to twit Chris Floyd from Deck Nine,
he would offer some hints and, you know, minor information
but it was always something that would allow me to discuss it further
Dontnod, they don't actually do that.
They replied, but they said that they're not allowed to share information at this point.
So yeah, that wasn't really helpful.
Obviously they've been working on that game for quite a while now.
I know that they had these sessions with actors,
you know, the movement actors,
so the people that, you know, you put those little things
and then, you know, you filmed them or something
I don't know how that works
but they've been doing this.
The big question is will Chloe and Max or even possibly Rachel be back?
And the answer right now is
No
They won't be back.
What they basically said was that a second season would work,
but the story of Max and Chloe is told.
Their characters arcs are closed
Whichever choice the player made, Max has reached the end of her coming-of-age story.
Now she has grown up
She made her pivotal decision and the player hooked to create her character, her feelings, her relationships.
We like to think that we did our job as storytellers and game designers,
we helped the players to meet their own personal version of Max and Chloe.
I was like, they're trying to respect the fact
that each player made their own decision
and depending on your outcome, Chloe is either alive or dead
in your Life is Strange universe.
I mean your own Life is Strange universe.
The thing is a while later, I was sent this link on Twitter.
Someone sent me this more recent interview with one of the developers,
and he said something like " Oh, anything's possible."
And then he mentioned that the game will be set in the same universe
as Life is Strange "1" .
I doubt we'll see Arcadia Bay
since it's either destroyed or not destroyed
It would be kind of weird to walk around Arcadia Bay
and, you know, not meeting any familiar faces
because we don't know if they're alive or dead
like Joyce, David, anyone from the school.
From the context of that particular interview,
it just seemed to me like it is possible to somehow meet at least Max.
Max is alive in both versions so I suppose if it's set in the same universe
then it is a universe where Max is alive and well somewhere out there.
It would be very cool to bump into her accidentally
but I don't know what purpose would it serve and if it would be necessary
Sure would be nice. It would be probably an easter egg of sorts
but I'd prefer to see Max as a protagonist of the game,
not just someone we accidentally see somewhere.
Unfortunately, I don't have a link for that particular interview
I'm sure that if the person that sent me this is watching this,
I'm sure they will comment. Because she knows what what I'm talking about.
We had a conversation about that on Twitter. I just couldn't find it.
It was, I don't know, like two or three months ago. I couldn't find it.
Moving on, I saw this French podcasts on this website called ABCD.
Jean-Luc Cano(?), one of the game's script writers, I think
he said that September is his favorite month.
It just seemed like he was suggesting that September 2018 we might get new Life is Strange game.
Now, this year in June we're gonna get Vampyr game.
Dontnod is also developing this other game when you play as a vampyr
and I guess you get to choose if you kill someone or not,
which sounds amazing.
Pretty much like Life is Strange ending,
So, you know, very traumatic but this time you get to do it
you know, throughout the entire game .
He didn't mention September, and he was quite mysterious about it
so I'm guessing if we get Vampyr in June,
it is quite possible that a few months later
We would get Life is Strange 2
and then we'll finally find out who will be our protagonist.
Now, that's another big question
We don't know if it's going to be a guy, a girl, a teenager, an adult,
black person, white person, straight, gay, bisexual
Personally, I'm not a big fan of making Life is Strange gay fanchise only.
When I started that game
It wasn't because I knew that there would be a gay character
I mean, no one really expected Max to be, I don't know, into Warren or into Chloe.
I'm not the biggest fan of differing people.
If minorities want to be treated like it doesn't matter,
their sexuality or their race, their origins, anything at all,
I think it takes a lot to actually act like it's not actually something that should be considered at all
or noticed, or acknowledged.
I feel like all people are the same.
So if there is a new gay protagonist, it's ok.
All I'm saying is I think it's worth to, sort of, make things different as well
Based on that actress movement that was involved,
and I think she was invited to do some recordings,
we can guess that there will be a female involved
but is it the protagonist? We don't know.
So I'm sure if I haven't provided you of any information that's new or relevant,
I don't really know anything.
Dontnod wouldn't share any information
but it's fun guessing when you don't really know anything.
Life is Strange 2 is your oyster.
We don't know what we're going to get
but it's like, I'm certain that we will be cool.
I'm fine with Life is Strange 2.
And I'm alright with new characters.
It's just that I feel like it will be very hard to replace Max, Chloe and Rachel
because there are three very strong personalities there
You have Rachel that's kind of outgoing more open,
You have Chloe - the rebel type of person,
and then you have Max that's a bit shy and geeky
What other types are there?
Maybe I'm forgetting something, but it feels like they represent pretty much the society.
I don't know, I think it will be hard to avoid comparisons
And if we get a female, teenage protagonist,
she will always be compared to Max or Chloe
But having said that, I am fine with Life is Strange 2 and new characters,
I still want Rachel especially to be back. And Max and Chloe.
And I don't mean a bonus episode. I want to be properly back.
I don't know if it would involve some sort of time travel,
and I know that some people would consider this milking a cow and stuff like that,
but I don't care. I just want them to be back.
I think it can be handled in a smart way,
And I hope it is true that Before the Storm 2 could happen
and we get to see more of Rachel
But we'll see what we get. Maybe somehow we will get even better characters.
Somehow
Remember I left all the links in the description if you want to check them out.
Also for my social media.
This weekend I'm going to continue The Walking Dead playthrough.
I might record another Life is Strange video,
because I want to do a reaction video.
I was sent this mode that looks quite interesting.
Share your thoughts about Life is Strange 2 and what you expect of it.

I didn't realise you were waiting.
I would've joined you, but, uh, it didn't seem like the right time.
They used up all the hot water.
I should've joined you.
Missed our window.
Did we?
The world just saw the Hulk.
The real Hulk, for the first time.
- You know I have to leave. - You assume that I have to stay?
I had this, um, dream.
The kind that seems normal at the time,
but when you wake...
What did you dream?
That I was an Avenger.
That I was anything more
than the assassin they made me.
I think you're being hard on yourself.
Here I was hoping that was your job.
What are you doing?
I'm running with it.
With you.
If running is the plan,
as far as you want.
Are you out of your mind?
I want you to understand that, um...
Natasha,
where can I go?
Where in the world am I not a threat?
- You're not a threat to me. - Are you sure?
Even if I didn't just...
There's no future with me.
I can't ever...
I can't have this.
Kids.
Do the math. I physically can't.
Neither can I.
In the Red Room where I was trained...
Where I was raised, um,
they have a graduation ceremony.
They sterilise you.
It's efficient.
One less thing to worry about.
The one thing that might matter more than a mission.
Makes everything easier.
Even killing.
You still think you're the only monster on the team?
So, we disappear?

Why Does My Cat MEOW So Much? - Animal Facts - Duration: 5:01.
"Meow" There are few among us that don't know which animal makes that sound.
Of course, it's a cat, but we don't always know what he's trying to say, especially
when he won't stop.
Cats use other vocalizations -- such as yowling, hissing, and growling -- to communicate with
each other.
Meowing is reserved for their communications with people.
From "Hello!" to hunger, here are some possible explanations for meowing.
Let's get started.
But, before we start, take a moment to like and subscribe for more fun, fauna facts.
HI
Sometimes your cat just wants to say, "Hello"
[Hello, is it me your looking for?]
It's just that simple.
He's a companion and he likes to see you, so naturally, especially if you are just returning
home from work, he just wants to say "Hi".
We publish every Monday and Friday.
So, hit that notification icon to not miss a single fact.
ATTENTION
Secondly, it may just be because he wants attention.
Other than hunger, this is one of the most common "causes" of excessive meowing.
Cats are easily bored and they like to play.
This doesn't mean you should drop everything you're doing and pay him attention every
time.
If you'd like to change this behavior, wait until he quiets to give him the attention.
Rewarding your cat for his calmness can help reduce the meowing.
But, it can take some time.
Be sure to spend time with your kitty every day (he's part of your family, after all).
Playing with your cat also provides a proper amount of exercise, essential for his well-being,
especially if he's the only cat in the household.
"I'M HUNGRY!"
Our cat Rusty meows for two reasons: attention and FOOD.
If Rusty's food bowl is empty, he becomes quite vocal.
And over time he's become quite accustomed to a ritual of being fed at certain times.
He makes sure you're aware of this schedule, especially for dinner when he gets canned
food.
ILLNESS
If your cat is constantly meowing, but showing no interest in food, medical attention may
be necessary.
Cats are good at hiding illnesses, but he may be trying to communicate that he doesn't
feel well.
If this behavior is something new in your cat, it's worth a trip to the veterinarian.
STRESS
Cats don't respond particularly well to change and can cause them quite a bit of stress.
Changes in the home, new people, and new animals can be just a few of the stress causing changes
made in a cat's life.
Obviously, he can't tell you directly what's stressing him out, so keep an eye on changes
to his behavior if you've made changes in his lifestyle.
Don't over coddle him though.
Interact with him and give him space to get accustomed to the changes.
IN HEAT
If your cat is female and not spayed, well there is a high probability that she is in
heat.
Cats are "seasonally polyestrus", which means that they have multiple estrus cycles during
the breeding season.
Female cats in heat can become very vocal suddenly.
Most estrus cats become very affectionate, even demanding; they persistently rub against
people or objects such as furniture, rubbing against their owners and constantly demanding
attention.
They roll on the floor.
These behavior changes often become annoying to owners, and sometimes owners think their
cat has some unusual illness.
Do yourself and your kitty a favor, have her spayed for hers and your sanity.
Males are also noisy if they detect a cat in heat nearby.
OLD AGE
The last is old age and dementia.
Just like people, your cat can become forgetful or confused in old age.
Disorientation is not uncommon, and your cat may meow out of frustration or confusion.
If your cat is getting older and has become more vocal in his old age, consult your vet
to see what kind of help you can get.
Meowing is a way that your cat communicates.
Since his vocabulary is more limited than yours, it's your job to determine what he's
trying to tell you.
Interact with your cat and pay attention to him.
He is after all part of your family.

😰Why PHYSICS is so HARD???😓 - Duration: 3:18.
Most of us don't like physics and in this video we'll talk about it right so hard, so let us begin
Most of us have nightmares about physics and maths too
This is because we feel it's too hard if we don't like that any subject topic it will obviously be hard do you?
Like I don't like biology, and thus it's too hard for me
But that's a different thing if you'll never come to physics. It will never come to you, but what if I like physics and
Interested in but still I can't grasp it then why does the physics don't come to me you this topic...
We'll discuss a later part of video
but a fundamental question we left behind is why I will not like physics most of the people who are
Say beginners to physics like a black board
Full of complex equations and sign which are very alien to us
But then because mathematics is involved in physics. It makes it very complicated
but I guess we are wrong because
mathematics makes physics more easier and simpler in fact more beautiful
You may be fearing maths because your concept basic concepts aren't clear
Mathematical approach is only one side of the coin called physics
The other side more interesting more free, but less reliable one is imagination
I can give you complex equation and something like this
To show planetary motion of course if you know the mathematics it would be easy for you
But without this equation though you could imagine planet to be motion in elliptical orbit, but it will be less precise
Without mathematics you couldn't predict position of a planet after 10 years
mathematic gives precision accuracy
Validity you can get physics get to physics by learning mathematics and mathematics never comes by practice
Never it will speed you up yes, but never let you think mathematics come by thinking
But even after learning maths most of your people say physics is hard very hard
This is because they often lack three important thing imagination curiosity and thinking
Mathematics can only help you if you could imagine
Now imagining things that we saw earlier are or are seeing now is very easy because they fit perfectly with our
So-called common sense but things like jiggling atoms
dancing black holes colliding galaxies quantum superposition are beyond our wildest imagination our
common sense
mathematician call it logic can take us from A to B, but imagination will take from A
everywhere
Comments and limb common sense limits us this limits us from getting to physics
And this is what make physics so hard lack of imagination

What Makes a Great Leader? ...And Why Putin is So Good At It - Duration: 21:10.
Hey Thoughty2 here.
In 1919 a young ambitious 30-year-old stood in a beer hall in Munich, Germany and gave
a passionate speech about politics to 111 attendees.
Only four months later, the same young man gave another speech, but this time, due to
word of mouth, his audience had grown to over 2000.
A few months later he gives another speech with 6,000 devotees in attendance.
This is how revolutions begin.
That ambitious young man went on to change the world beyond recognition, by committing
countless atrocities against the human race and attempting genocide.
Yes I am talking about Adolf Hitler.
Do not take my words as praise, but there is no doubt that Hitler's oration abilities
are unrivalled throughout history.
His ability to persuade others and bring them into his cause and align their ideals with
his own were powerful beyond belief.
During one 2 hour speech in 1920 he was completely interrupted 58 times by thundering applause
and cheers from the crowd.
But was Adolf Hitler a great leader?
Absolutely not, effective maybe, but great, no.
As humans with a conscience we define great as doing good, therefore a great leader must
use their power and influence for good, not evil as Hitler did.
But besides the obvious deplorable reasons that Hitler was not a great leader, he wasn't
actually good at leading.
Let me explain, Hitler was a fantastic orator, he gave speeches so powerful, so intense that
they made you forget your morals and follow him into a genocidal abyss.
He was extremely effective at collecting followers and power.
But being able to rally hearts and minds is only one half of being a great leader.
For, once Hitler had that power, he was hopeless at putting it to use, at least when you compare
him to his wartime competition.
A truly great leader in Hitler's position of immense power would have leveraged Germany's
strengths and turned wartime Germany into a true superpower, a force to be reckoned
with.
And a true leader could of done so without ever going to war, using only diplomacy and
leverage.
There were many years leading up to the war when a great leader could have turned Germany
into the modern world's first superpower giving Germany a far better chance of winning
the war or better yet, bypassing it altogether.
But Hitler was too consumed by his own hate and pride.
His deep hatred of Jews, communists and others caused him to get distracted by and drawn
into many futile conflicts that were completely unnecessary and only hindered Germany's
overall strength, such as Stalingrad.
He was more concerned with destroying his neighboroughing countries than focusing on
the strengths of his own, Germany.
These are certainly not the traits of a great leader, just a passionate, angry fool.
Are you passionate about something, but tired of feeling like a fool?

Hitler's wartime enemy Winston Churchill is also thought of as one of history's most
powerful leaders, but unlike Hitler, many people go as far as to call Churchill a great
leader.
So what's the difference?
Is Churchill only a great leader, and Hitler is not because Churchill was fighting for
good, not evil?
Well that certainly helps, but it's the reason why Churchill was fighting for good
which made him a truly great leader.
And that reason is a great empathy for his people.
Hitler's motivation for going to war was occupation of neighbouring countries to expand
the German empire and his idea of a "pure race" and also genocide, these are selfish
reasons, Hitler's powerful oration may have tricked millions into believing that he had
the German people's best interests in mind, but in truth his motivations were not only
selfish, but driven by delusions, insecurity and mental insanity.
Churchill's motivations were the polar-opposite, he went to war to defend his people and his
country from the tyranny of evil, he had no desire to invade and capture other lands or
to enslave and murder innocent people.
Psychologists have long studied what it takes to be a great leader and they have all converged
on one key quality that every great leader from history shared.
One mental attribute that separates Churchill from Hitler, emotional intelligence.
It is not intellect, cunning or physical prowess that makes a great leader, it is emotional
intelligence.
That is the ability to sympathise with others, to know how people think, behave and how they
will react given any situation.
What made Abraham Lincoln such a great leader?
Such an icon, respected throughout the ages.
How was he able to overcome the tremendous challenges in abolishing slavery?
He possessed more emotional intelligence than his enemies.
Whilst the plantation owners and leaders of the confederacy were only concerned with monetary
gain from their slaves.
Lincoln was able to sympathise with the plight of the slaves, he could humanise them and
this gave him the drive, the passion, the motivation to put every fibre of himself into
his quest to set them free, and that he did.
Hitler may have been an extremely intelligent man, an incredible orator and powerfully persuasive,
but he had not a scrap of emotional intelligence, he had no sympathy.
No man who did the things he did could possess these qualities.
But Churchill, despite his image as a pragmatic bulldog, did and that's why he led Britain
and the World to victory.
But being a great leader isn't just being able to make the correct decision.
A truly great leader must also be able to make the hardest decision of all, when it
is most needed of them.
No matter the cost.
On 10th May 1940 Winston Churchill was appointed Prime Minister of Great Britain.
On the very same day, Hitler launched a huge invasion of France.
occupying vast swathes of the country.
Before long Hitler's army had occupied Paris and forced the nation of France to surrender.
When Churchill heard that France was prepared to surrender and make a peace deal with Hitler
he knew that if the Nazis were to get their hands on France's navy, which at the time
was the second most powerful in the world, after Britain's, then Britain would be screwed.
Sure, Britain's navy was powerful, but with the combined might of France's Navy and
Germany's U-boats, Britain would have been Hitler's for the taking, and worse yet,
if Hitler took Britain, and its navy, the rest of the world would have stood no chance
against the spread of Hitler's tyranny. with all that combined military might, he
could have taken the US with ease and today the world would be under Nazi rule, simply
because Hitler got his hands on a few French warships.
Churchill could absolutely not let this happen.
Initially he wrote to the US president FDR and asked if he could borrow fifty of their
older warships to defend Britain in the event that Hitler took France's navy, but FDR
was too concerned with winning the upcoming election and so denied Churchill's request,
even after Churchill wrote back to him explaining that if Britain was taken then America would
be next.
The French Admiral had made a promise to Churchill that if the Nazis did ever try to take France's
warships then the French would sabotage their own ships rendering them useless to Hitler.
But Churchill was too pragmatic to rely solely on the French disabling their own ships and
so he formulated a grand plan called operation Catapult.
The most daring and most morally difficult plan that Churchill had so far enacted.
France's vast navy was spread out in fleets around the globe, so Churchill planned to
use espionage, stealth and if necessary force to capture all of France's warships and
relocate them to British waters.
So, on the 3rd July 1940 operation Catapult was launched and simultaneous takeovers of
every French naval vessel took place within a few hours around the globe.
Bearing in mind that until now, France was Britain's closest ally during the war, this
must have been a horrendously difficult decision for Churchill to make, but the decision that
he had to make in just a few hour's time would be many times more difficult, in fact
it would arguably be the most difficult, the most heart-wrenching decision the Prime Minister
would make his entire life.
A decision that many historians have since said was one of the biggest turning points
of the war and changed the fate of the World.
You see, all but one of the fleets within the French navy could be taken with little
effort by simply sneaking British servicemen onboard and putting a gun up to the captain.
But one fleet, the strongest and most heavily guarded within France's navy would not be
so simple.
In the harbour of Mers-el-Kébir in French Algeria, France had moored their four largest
and most powerful ships, the Bretagne, Provence, Strasbourg and Dunkerque, as well as some
smaller destroyers.
If Hitler got his hands on just this fleet alone it would spell the end of the war for
Britain and the world.
Churchill wrote an ultimatum to the French admiral and sent out a fleet of the Royal
Navy's most powerful vessels to deliver it to the French fleet at Mers-el-Kebir.
It gave France just six hours from receiving the letter to sail their large fleet of warships
to Britain or America and surrender them or the British Navy will regrettably sink them
using force.
The Royal Navy surrounded the French fleet and a long, intense standoff wore on for many
hours as the French Admiral refused to peacefully surrender his ships to the British, their
allies.
The French admiral was annoyed that Churchill obviously didn't trust his promise that
the French navy would destroy their own ships if the Nazis tried to take them, he was also
annoyed that a lower ranking member of the Royal Navy was sent to deliver Churchill's
ultimatum to him, instead of someone higher up in the command.
He also didn't believe that the British would actually fire upon them if they refused
to hand over their ships.
So with the French Admiral remaining stubborn the two supposedly allied nations, stood gun
to gun across the harbour in a Mexican standoff.
A few hours later the French Admiral called on nearby backup just in case the British
did decide to open fire.
But the British soon caught wind of the encroaching backup and so the captain sent a telegram
to Number 10.
Informing Churchill of the incoming French backup only minutes away.
Churchill was suddenly weighed down by his worst fear, that it would have to come to
this, the possibility of ordering the British to shoot upon their own allies.
With little time to think he sent back a short, sharp reply "Settle matters quickly."
and that was it, knowing full well what that might entail.
Regrettably the British fleet knew what they had to do next, as Churchill had briefed them
beforehand.
Yet the British signalled the French ship once more, giving them one last warning, come
to an agreement within 30 minutes or we will open fire.
At 5:54pm no agreement had been reached and sure enough the British pointed their cannons
at the French vessels and began to fire.
The British fleet that day consisted of battleships HMS Valiant and HMS Resolution, an aircraft
carrier and several destroyers.
But at the helm of the fleet was the Royal Navy's most powerful weapon, HMS Hood, the
largest and most powerful warship in the world at that time, completely unmatched by any
other ship.
Her huge turrets fired relentlessly upon the French battleships, sinking one and completely
destroying the others within minutes.
1,297 French servicemen lost their lives that day at the hand of the British, supposedly
their closest ally.
Whilst the British public and government were entirely supportive of Churchill's decision
when they found out what had happened, many others around the world, particularly the
French were both critical and upset at Britain's actions that day, seeing on betrayal.
It could be argued that Churchill's move to sink the French navy was over the top and
rash but one has to consider what the other outcome would have been, if Hitler had got
his hands on those French battleships, it is entirely possible that the entire world,
not just Britain, would be under Nazi rule today.
It is reported that when word got back to Churchill in London about what had happened
in Mers-el-Kébir and how many French servicemen had been killed he was physically sick and
broke down in tears.
Whether you agree with operation catapult or not no one can argue how incomprehensibly
difficult a decision of that magnitude must have been for Churchill or any other leader
to make.
Churchill sacrificed over a thousand of Britain's allies that day to save the British people
and potentially the world from the tyranny of evil, a horrible decision to make with
irreparable consequences, but if that's not true leadership then I don't know what
is.
Winston Churchill was recently voted by the British public as the greatest Briton of all
time and sure it's tremendously easy to see how he is great leader.
He stared pure evil in the face when the rest of his cabinet wanted to surrender, he led
Britain and Western Europe through its darkest hour.
He was a master of the english language and used it to inspire and uplift the moral of
the British people.
But how come there are some leaders today that are considered by their people as great,
when the rest of the world can only see the opposite?
It used to be that good and evil was so black and white, you would look at the world stage
and the vast differences between the goodies and the baddies was laid out bare for all
to see.
But today our leaders are becoming ever more grey, treading a thin line between good and
evil.
Leaders such as Donald Trump and Kim Jong Un are so polarising yet so murky.
Sure leaders have always had supporters and detractors but in today's information driven
world it's so easy to find out why supposedly bad leaders do the things they do, instead
of relying on propaganda.
And with nobody is the balance between good and evil more murkier, harder to understand
than with Vladimir Putin.
You cannot talk about great leaders without including Putin, for nobody is more loved
by their own people.
Okay, maybe Kim Jong Un is, but under entirely different circumstances.
Every single week an army of polsters traverses the 11 different time zones of Russia and
knocks on the doors of every single house in the country, asking their opinion of Vladimir
Putin and other political issues.
According to these polls Vladimir Putin's approval rating by his own people is a staggering
83% and has not dropped below 80% since 2014.
And these numbers aren't superficially increased by the Kremlin, several independent Western
polling companies have done similar polls and always arrive around the same number.
To put that into perspective Trump's approval rating is half of that at 40%, Theresa May's
is 43% and Angela Merkel's is around 50%, at the time of writing this video.
But how can this be?
Doesn't most of the west view Putin as a bad guy?
Or a troublemaker at the very least.
And it's easy to see why, Putin has done some rather questionable and immoral things
including annexing Crimea, waging a war on the LGBT community, he is suspected of having
critics and political enemies killed and the most questionable act of all, he is of course
rumored to have used hacking campaigns and propaganda to make Trump president.
But no matter how much western politicians and western media demonises him, his approval
rating within Motherland Russia just keep increasing with time.
To appreciate why we have to understand the vast difference in culture between Russia
and the West.
Russians respect strength, whilst Western Europeans may have ideals such as fair democracy,
social equality and justice, it is ingrained within the Russian culture to never show weakness.
Russians strive for the solidification and strengthening of their own nation.
They have a great respect for Russia and any president who can make Russia appear to be
strong and not a pushover on the world stage is no doubt going to be popular.
Putin does exactly that, the propaganda released from the Kremlin is carefully curated to always
show Putin in positions of strength and in manly pursuits like fishing topless, hunting
topless and riding a shark, I mean horse, topless!
There seems to be a theme here.
These are not candid holiday snaps, these are carefully curated to show Putin in his
best and strongest light.
He appears formidable and able to take on whatever the West throws at him.
Putin may not play nicely on the global stage but whether you sympathise with Putin's
methods of politics or not he is in his own way and for the Russian people at least, a
great leader.
Leaders come in many forms, throughout history some have led us into the dark abyss, other
have led us to victory but one thing that all great leaders do is bring about change
within the world and leave their own unique footprint on the future, sometime for the
best, sometimes for the worst.
So wherever you are in the world, when the time next comes for you to choose a leader,
make your choice worthwhile.
Thanks for watching.
