"It all came down to Maidan and a coup in Ukraine... with the backing of the CIA... We would never have considered to lift even a finger if it hadn't been for the bloody developments," said Putin.
Yes, but the corporate media including the BBC are already ignoring the interview and will no doubt do their best to undermine it and do a character assasination on Tucker Carlson as they attempt to do on anyone who dares to report the truth.
Thanks, Mike. While I have my doubts about Tucker's motivation. Your footnotes helped me skip the boring parts. The fact that we seem to need to take down Russia has many vile roots. The many things WEF and modern thought wants , Russia is against.
Thus if you're in favor of Transgender Officers,self hate,and eating bugs,go with the west. If these things appall you and you don't want to eat bugs,you're a Russian sympathizer
I still have the vomit in my throat from when I was a teen and the office got me to drink a double tequila with two raw eggs - those yolks did everything they could to get stuck in my throat.
Tucker: I just gotta ask you one last question. And that's about someone who is very famous in the United States. Probably not here. Evan Gershkovich who's the Wall Street Journal reporter. He's 32. And he's been in prison for almost a year. This is a huge story in the United States. And I just want to ask you directly, without getting into the details of it or your version of what happened, if, as a sign of your decency, you would be willing to release him to us and we'll bring him back to the United States.
Putin: We have done so many gestures of goodwill out of decency that I think we have run out of them. We have never seen anyone reciprocate to us in a similar manner. However, in theory, we can say that we do not rule out that we can do that if our partners take reciprocal steps. When I talk about the partners, I first of all refer to special services. Special services are in contact with one another. They are talking about the matter in question. There is no taboo to settle this issue. We are willing to solve it but there are certain terms being discussed via special services channels. I believe an agreement can be reached.
Anyone who did the research over time and when this war began knew that the provocations had come from the US/Nato using Ukraine and that it was always a proxy war waged by the US, using its lackey Nato, and its fools in Ukraine, in a bid to weaken Russia and break it apart. All of this had been stated by Americans more than once. And since their actions supported such words, why would the Russians not see them as the threat they were, are and intended to be.
My first move is always to find out as much as I can about the history and context of a given situation. Then apply the basic principles I have previously cited, season it all with a hefty dose of common sense and reach some conclusions. Most people do not want to think let alone do the research. But enough do, usually, but not always.
Yep, I did that for many politicians, and presented the info to Parliament which ruled in my favour and then did nothing, and the crooked politicians got court orders against me for stalking.
Well, being right does not necessarily mean one wins the day. There are forces and processes at work which can silence the sanest of voices and frequently do. We humans appear to be slow learners.
NPR is an example of the crazy headlines: 'Tucker Carlson, the fired Fox News star, makes bid for relevance with Putin interview'. That conveniently skips all the other interviews seen by millions.
I thought it was an interesting interview, not only for its content, but as an important placement for where we are. The list of western leaders who could pull off a two hour stint like this is very short and certainly wouldn’t include tweedledum and tweedledee who are currently our prospective nominees in the US. I enjoyed Putin’s historical musings at the start. I was wondering if Tucker would get to the journalist as most of his jealous peers were saying he wouldn’t. Tucker did make a couple asinine statements but overall the tone was good. Putin didn’t give me much new info outside the historical stuff but as you have said before Mike, we both follow ‘stacks’ where Putin is considered somewhat of a deity.
Agreed. I needed to watch it so I knew what info others were receiving, and how MSM would reinterpret it, rather than me learning something knew. Tucker, whether with care or strategically, made the right call regarding the journo. It was a decent way to close.
Anyone who knew the history could work that out but clearly either those in the US Government, military, CIA etc., either do not know the history or cannot work out anything.
One small step for Tucker, one giant leap for Russia in its efforts to counter the MSM narrative.
Kudos to Tucker Carlson
It's important but, because of its length, will be easier to dim. I hope popular vloggers edit segments according to topics.
Yes, but the corporate media including the BBC are already ignoring the interview and will no doubt do their best to undermine it and do a character assasination on Tucker Carlson as they attempt to do on anyone who dares to report the truth.
I'll post something about this next, and offer a piece of hope.

Have a nice evening 😊
Well, I'm in favour of human rights, and my destination will be where I am no matter what politicians use as their tool for popularity.
That's amazing, Mike. We both feel pretty much the same.
Unless it's the worm in my tequila, I'm pretty sure that I'm not gonna do the bug thing,though

Tucker: "Who blew up Nord Stream?"
Putin: "You for sure."
Tucker: "I was busy that day. I did not blow up Nord Stream."
Putin: "You personally may have an alibi, but the CIA has no such alibi."

I did - https://mikehampton.substack.com/p/03-putin-isnt-the-only-monster-in - but most people would rather go to war and sing the national anthem at a baseball game than spend a day understanding the consequences of their vote.

I’m curious as to what viewing numbers are going to look like.
Someone besides Musk would have to tell us. Plus Tucker has is own website stats.
