Oliver Stone Praises Putin as ‘Stabilizing Force’ in Syria

Oliver Stone, filmmaker  and close friend of leftist dictators, lauded Russian President Vladimir Putin on Wednesday as a “stabilizing force” in Syria.

“Putin is a stabilizing force in the Middle East… and Syria… contrary to the U.S.,” he told the Future Investment Initiative (FII) conference in Riyadh. “Mr Putin was always concerned about the terrorists. If they had gotten to Damascus… there would be a possible caliphate throughout this whole region,” Stone said.

“Mr Putin doesn’t have the oil interest in mind. He has the concept of keeping a balance and respecting the sovereignty of these countries,” he added.

Stone has long had an admiration for strongman Putin. In 2017, Stone broadcast The Putin Interviews, a series of 12 interviews with the Russian leader, whom Stone called “an excellent CEO of a company. Russia is your company.” The left loves Putin, which makes their faux outrage over his purported collusion in President Trump’s 2016 election victory all the more hollow and hypocritical.

In 2012, Stone released the 10-part documentary mini-series The Untold History of the United States, supplemented by a 750-page companion book (published by Simon & Schuster) bearing the same title. Co-written by Stone and American University historian Peter J. Kuznick, the documentary and the book alike depict the U.S. as the principal source of earthly evil and human suffering.

The Untold History of the United States labors to make the case that America’s use of atomic weapons against Japan was the original sin that sparked the Cold War. Further, Stone maintains that the incineration of Hiroshima and Nagasaki was both unnecessary and tragically misguided, because a Soviet invasion would have forced Japan to surrender in any case and would have resulted in a lesser loss of life.

By Stone’s telling, the Cold War was largely a product of America’s greed and aggression against a Soviet Union that merely wished to coexist peacefully with its war-time ally. In this rewriting of history, the possibility of post-war cooperation between the West and the Soviets was destroyed by America’s aim to use its overwhelming economic and military power to dominate the world and to destroy the socialist and communist challenges to its hegemony.
