w.r.t statement made by oliver stone in this same interview series :
paraphrasing:
-Claims against Putin's reelection in Russia are BS and he was definitely the favorite.
-There was no violence in Crimea , Crimean people chose Russia.
-Putin's position is don't start something you can't finish.

Although it was a big get for Jimmy to interview Oliver Stone but little bit of push-back on such positions would have made for a more objective interview.
