We also found out that the CIA is incredibly destructive, they blew up the Nord Stream pipeline, they performed a coup in Ukraine to install US puppet zalensky, they Instigated Ukrainian Nazis to attack the largely Russian Donbas territory of Ukraine, they squashed Russias desire to enter NATO and be an EU member after the Soviet Union split apart. And another dozen episodes of failed regime change with calamitous blow back. They are a detriment to world peace.

One very subtle but important remark by President Putin is that the US decision-maker is not the "elected" president, but the CIA... the khazar Mafia ?

I think the fact that the libtards are losing their minds over this interview is hilarious! I have been told by someone who has visited Russia on several occasions and speaks their language that Putin is really not the bad guy he is being made out to be by the United States. So two questions,

#1 What gives the United States the right to depose anyone or take down any foreign government? The arrogance of the people that supposedly run this country is mind-blowing!

#2 If Russia is the largest land mass on the planet with only 150 million people, why aren't all these illegal immigrants rushing the borders of Russia to enter illegally and take over? The United States should round them all up and send them to Siberia!! 🤷🏻‍♀️🤔🧐😂

There are several different messages between the lines. One; Putin is telling everyone that the times are a changing and that China already has the upper hand. Two; he confirmed a great deal of buried history that ties in with the Tartarian folks. Three; he confirmed that the Biden administration was a complete dumbass and bombed the Nordstream pipeline, which BTW, he will pay dearly for. (I am betting that we lose Alaska over it). Four; he came off as a level headed leader and not the Killary monster. Lot’s more there to digest.

Tucker, I watched the entire interview with Putin last night and was eager to hear your thoughts today. I'm a bit confused though. Mr. Putin made it quite clear that his reason for invading Ukraine was most specifically done to counter the inclusion of Naziism or Neo-Naziism in Ukraine's governing (policy-making) bodies. Frankly, I felt your response to his assertion was a bit laissez faire. Russia suffered horrendous losses at the hands of the Nazis. As you pointed out yourself, their population is quite low even compared to the U.S., and extremely low compared to China and even other countries with much less land mass. It is understandable to me that he would be quite concerned that Nazism, or Neo-Nazism not be given fertile ground, especially at his borders. He made a very good point that nowhere else in the free world allows anyone of Nazi persuasion to permeate their governments in any policy making positions.

Those who don't understand history are doomed to repeat its mistakes. My father served for 8 years during WW2. He was one of the original "frog-men" who dove under water and set bombs to clear the way for the allied troops to offload on Normandy Beach. If not for these men, troops and supplies would have had no way to reach the enemy and the war would have been won by the Nazis. I am in complete agreement with President Putin that the seeds of Naziism should not be allowed to grow and I don't understand why you glossed over that.

I think what Tucker is missing is that if Putin is telling the truth, that America is the best in propaganda, then Russia has been intentionally painted in a false light. Putin said that Ukraine bombed themselves when they bombed Donbas. I may be mistaken, but I’m pretty sure that’s what started the war. It was reported in American media that Russia bombed Donbas. Do you all remember the woman with a crying baby hiding in a bunker being played across several media outlets?? I didn’t believe it, it felt like an act. There was also an independent journalist who flew into Kiev and filmed what looked like scenes out of Hollywood. Everything looked staged. There was supposed to be bombs going off everywhere, yet there were people out walking their dogs and acting completely normal.

Anyway, can you imagine being Russia and having the Media telling lies about you? I imagine he probably feels a lot like Trump. It’s the same tactic.

To say that Putin is 'wounded' is a bit of a stretch. Tucker even used the word bitter and Putin was quick to point out that was incorrect. Rather, Putin eventually just realized that he was never going to be welcomed into NATO.

The United States government and the real controllers of the government (e.g. the CIA) and the vast majority of the population of the United States (who consider themselves patriots, i.e. lovers of their country) all seem to absolutely require boogeymen. It’s all part of the larger (divide and conquer) psychological operation. I think that a person needs to be absolutely deranged to be a true believer that the United States is a good country with godly values.

A great summary of a veeeery loooong interview but, for sure, Putin although no angel, is certainly no mug either and has a fair grip of the global situation. For the USA and their lapdogs to think they are just going to roll over after what nato has done by breaking its promise and supplying the Ukraine long before this proxy war, then you are either delusional, programmed, or batshit crazy.

Great job Tucker! You did what no one else could.

I would not characterize Putin as being wounded by the rejection of the West, rather he seemed resigned that the West is not a trustworthy partner

What struck me in the interview was that Tucker wasn't being himself: He spent part of the interview with his eyes narrowed and the effect at those times was a kind of suspicious, wary, hostility. Now whether this was due to the chorus of hostility towards him for even having a conversation with Putin, and to try too hard to not give the impression that he was Putin's poodle/lap dog, I don't know.

And there was a point at which I thought Tucker raised his voice volume and tone towards hysterical.

And there were so many questions that could have been gently asked that were not asked at all. For example, the bio-labs in Ukraine, or for example, how did you react when Merkel confessed/blurted out that the Germans et al had no intention of living up to their agreement re Minsk agreement.

The point here is that when Tucker is on his game he is relaxed and has empathy for the interviewed person, and a quick wit and a sense of humour. And in that style he often comes out with telling points that contradict and infuriate the purveyors and true believers of propaganda. But at the same time, the interchange between Tucker and interviewed tends to be a dynamic and fascinating sort of verbal dance, and includes the quality of promising surprises.

In the case of the Putin interview, Tucker as not quite himself was marginal to the interview.

#6. America and the West are controlled and operated by liars and thieves.

I have heard over and over that Putin is insane, unfit, vile, etc, but I must say, I found him to be knowledgeable, sane and completely loyal to his nation.

Interview with very high expectations ended up as a simple failure:

Russian Telegram channels reported that the interview with Carlson and Carlson himself was not to Putin's liking, and the interview itself was considered a failure:

"The Kovalchuk clan sharply criticizes the idea of an interview with the American journalist Carlson. They say that the problem is the unpreparedness of the interview arrangement - it was Gromov's and Peskov's mistake. Putin should have talked about conservative values, the creation of a conservative alliance, and moving on - but he went into history and platitudes about Ukraine. Naryshkin, who allegedly planted ideas with documents of Bohdan Khmelnytskyi and nonsense with Poland, also played a negative role here. He set Putin up to the fullest. Medinsky would not allow such a thing."

According to reports, Putin didn't like Tucker Carlson - "a snob and a useful idiot who got a meaningful fee, but was lazy and lacked creativity."

Kovalchuk family believes they could have done better with Tucker Carlson, but "everything was wasted." There's a wave of complaints in the Kremlin.

Brilliant and correct observations. Keep following the thread and you'll eventually come to the truth, which Tucker can possibly never say. The US/UK is the true Evil empire, the enemy of the world.
