The Tucker Carlson exclusive interview
Tucker Calson, whom we thought would be relegated to x, has once again become the center of controversy. He decided to interview Putin in Moscow, setting up the Russian president’s first interview with a western media figure since Russia invaded Ukraine in February 2022. Carlson is one who likes to ask questions about policy, events and the media. The kind of curiosity the radical left likes to brand as "conspiracy theories." In any event Vladimir Putin was offered an opportunity to explain to the rest of the world why he has invaded Ukraine twice thus far. I watched the entire interview on YouTube, and I found it to be very interesting for many reasons.
First of all, Putin took about 40 minutes to offer up a monologue on the history of Ukraine. It went back centuries, and one thing was clear: Putin is still sharp and more than capable of discussing history. The entire interview ran over two hours and Putin was not looking at notes. He took questions and gave answers that were quite interesting. I am not going through all of the questions; I just want to focus on three highlights:
1) Carlson asked if he thought Ukrainian President Zelensky still "has the freedom to negotiate a settlement to this conflict," Putin answered that he believed so. Putin added that after Russian negotiators attempted to reach a peace deal with Ukraine during the early stages of the war that began in February 2022, Western countries persuaded Zelensky to keep fighting. Putin said that people in the US thought Ukraine could win that war. Putin continued with I wonder if they believe that now. However, Putin went on to make an enormous mistake that Russian media tried to clean up. Putin added that Zelensky's "father fought against the fascists, the Nazis, during World War II." One of the initial justifications Putin has given for the war he started was to rid that country of "Nazis." Something that was condemned as nonsense by most of the known world.
Putin continued: "Once I talked to him about this. I said, 'Volodya, what are you doing? Why do you support neo-Nazis in Ukraine today when your father fought against fascism?' where during what Moscow calls the Great Patriotic War fought by the USSR against Germany, he was a "a front-line soldier."
Zelensky's father, Oleksandr was not born until 1947, two years after the war ended, although his father—the Ukrainian president's grandfather, Semyon, did fight, investigative Russian language outlet Agentstvo noted.

2) The most interesting thing from my perspective was when Carlson asked Putin who he thought sabotaged the Nord stream Pipeline. Putin said there is a saying in Russia: "who has the most interest in doing such a thing?" Puttin added "but here we have a second question: "who had the capability to do it?" He said it so well and of course we all know the answer.
3) "Carlson and Putin spoke about how the U.S. and Russia seemed as though they would have good relations after the fall of the Soviet Union, but that hasn't been the case. The conservative media personality brought up how Putin has said the West fears a strong Russia and asked why that is, if the U.S. doesn't fear China.
"The West is afraid of strong China more than it fears a strong Russia, because Russia has 150 million people and China has 1.5 billion population. And its economy is growing by leaps and bounds, or 5 percent a year," Putin answered.
He continued: "China's potential is enormous. It is the biggest economy in the world today in terms of purchasing power parity and the size of the economy. It is already overtaking the United States quite a long time ago, and it is growing at a rapid clip."
The Russian president then moved away from the thought by saying, "Let's not talk about who is afraid of whom. Let's not reason in such terms."

Good morning
Although many democrats simply march to the drumbeat of the world's greatest liar Hillary Clinton, the threat from Russia must be taken seriously. Neither Barack Obama nor Joe Biden were able to deter Russia. Soon the Ukraine war will most likely end via a negotiated settlement. Tucker Carlson has tried to find out what those negotiations might be like. It is hard to contemplate that Ukraine will have to make a concession to let everyone out of this. We can only wonder what the deal will be,
What good is a 40 minute monologue on the history of Ukraine if its all lies ?
Putin believes that Ukraine has always been tied to Russia. If you took the time to listen, you might have got a bit of an idea of what makes him tic.
The question now is how does everyone get out of this stalemate before it turns into a Russian victory?
So Putin lies, just like Brandon.
One thing he is not lying about is Ukraine's Nazi/Fascist issues.
No, it is not the reason he went to war with Ukraine.
That has to do with the US/NATO flipping forming Russian block countries. When Obama backed (instigated) a coup to overthrow a duly elected pro Russian government- Putin reacted the same way he did with Georgia- when Bush Jr attempted to flip them. Would the US tolerate a pro Russian/China government taking hold in Canada or Mexico?
Oh yes, and I'm sure Zuckerberg was happy to oblige.
He did much to interfere with the 2020 election.
The House voted Thursday to kick Minnesota Democratic Rep. Ilhan Omar off the House Foreign Affairs Committee, a decision that Republicans vowed to take because of Omar’s history of antisemitic and anti-American remarks.
The resolution was approved in a 218-211 vote after a heated debate in which Democrats accused Republicans of racism and hypocrisy and claimed that the GOP is only policing Democrats for questionable behavior. Omar and several other Democrats openly accused Republicans of racism.
