Herzog was an interesting character... here he is preparing to eat his shoe.

Gorbachev - The most overrated figure in history.

[Steely Tom]

The USSR didn’t really outlive the generation that established it.

Next generation took over, they weren’t infected with the demon lies that were used to create it. They weren’t in the grip of Lenin’s ability to twist minds and conquer hearts.

Gorbachev’s an intelligent man. He wasn’t willing to wipe out life on Earth for the vision of Karl Marx. Push came to shove, he said “I’m climbing off the alligator.”

"I knew it!"

Same guy that brought me to tears laughing at Timothy Treadwell being eaten by a bear. That just funny!

Werner Hertzog was great in "Jack Reacher" as the former Soviet political prisoner turned shadowy U.S. mob boss known only as the Zec (prisoner).

He was truly menacing.

Yeah. This is the new thing, that Gorbachov was responsible for ending the Cold War.

He is, in the same way a turkey is responsible for Thanksgiving Dinner.

Werner Herzog is an interesting filmmaker - Aguirre was great. During a recent interview in connection to this documentary, he was prodded by the interviewer to bad-mouth Trump, and he said that he refused to play the trendy game of piling on President Trump. Instead, he said that he found Trump "interesting" and said that he appreciated his efforts to negotiate peace with North Korea and draw down the US troop presence in Afghanistan.
