Methinks they doth protest too much.

“It is important to remember that Democrats are not engaged in an act of dissent or speech. They are propagandists carrying water for a the war criminals who hate the United States, and are committed to conflict for fundamental change in the west.”

Fix it…

Which estate houses the Military Industrial Complex?

IMHO the US, UK French, other MIC chapters LOVE this war.

Russia probably has a similar eater of national treasure.

When the WIC is engaged in protecting our sovereigty (borders, people) it is treasure well spent. The four estates could care less about that for some diabolical reason.

--- "So, what was it about the interview that so incensed the Fourth Estate? "

Stepping well back from the latest incarnation of "Russiagate" hysteria, an obvious phenomenon is observed, having NOTHING to do with either Putin or Carlson (no, I haven't listened to the interview).

That phenomenon is that the so-called "gate keepers" in the media, worldwide, are ever more losing their monopoly. The internet has accelerated alternative news and opinion, and bolstered free speech. For this the EU's chief growled about "misinformation," which of course means information a gate keeper wants suppressed, as much as disinformation gate keepers want promoted.

Subscribers walk away. News staff are being laid off in ever larger numbers. Some corrupt, Lefty media is teetering financially. And they know it. The "walk away" is measurable.

Gate keepers who have ever smaller gates to keep, but who dream still of their glory days, are unhappy folk. Angry folk. Per such as Adam Smith's imagery of the "invisible hand," they are being laid off. And it is the market of ideas which is the 'guilty' party.

These gate keepers hate the contemporary versions of the "samizdat" of the old Soviet Union days or the "White Rose non-violent resistance group" of Nazi Germany" and like groups which "spread" information unwanted by the "authorities."

Authorities losing authority can be rather upset....

Best wishes.

Putin-Carlson Interview Riles the Fourth Estate

Putin riled Tucker at the start.

At the beginning of the interview, Carlson asserted that Putin "had come to the conclusion that the United States, through NATO, might initiate a 'surprise attack'" on Russia.

"To American ears, that sounds paranoid," Carlson continued. "Tell us why you believe the United States might strike Russia out of the blue. How did you conclude that?"

"It's not that America, the United States was going to launch a surprise strike on Russia," Putin responded. "I didn't say that. Are we having a talk show or a serious conversation?"

Carlson reacted by laughing and offering to read the Russian president his own quote. Putin ignored him and instead began an extended explanation of the "historical background" of Russia and Ukraine, before arguing that Moscow was justified in claiming parts of Ukrainian territory.

I’ve been saying it right along...we were responsible for the 2014 coup...and the Chocolate King, who absolutely hated everything Russian, began the campaign to make Russians the most hated people on earth. And it continues to this day.

[hardspunned]

Putin is practically begging for a negotiated settlement but the neocons demand unconditional surrender. Fortunately, the rats nest of NATO Quislings in Kiev is falling apart. Unconditional Surrender is closer than the neocons suspect.

Pat and Jeff on the Blaze this morning were not impressed. That tells me it was an important interview. I think this tools are still pulling for Jeb.

LOL, sure, because no country and its people would rationally want to join the EU and its better standard of living vs some Russian-BananaStan economic group(CIS). Okay

[SharpRightTurn]

The American Lamestream media is having an apoplectic fit because Tucker has found such a huge audience without them. And the fact that he has done so as a conservative drives them insane.

Putin is practically begging for a negotiated settlement

Right, because this future treaty Putin will honor, vs the many he broke by invading Ukraine? Putin even broke a treaty he personally signed with Ukraine, the 2003 “Treaty Between the Russian Federation and Ukraine on the Russian–Ukrainian State Border”. It set Ukraine’s borders as they were in 1991 & was lodged with the UN.

Russian violated treaties

UN Charter 1945

Nuclear NPT 1970

Helsinki Accords 1975

Belovezha Accords 91–92

Budapest Memo 94

Black Sea Fleet Treaty 97

Friendship Treaty 98

Treaty on Azov Sea & Kerch Strait 03

Border treaty 03

Karkiv pact 10

Comments BUMP!

“Russia has defined impartiality as hewing to its official line, deviation from which risks the decidedly censorious penalty of jail time. That goes against traditional journalistic standards — standards that Mr. Carlson does not have to concern himself with at X,” The Times caustically observed in a February 8 “Media Memo” feature article.

Just like the American government. Jan 6 anyone?

Putin is referring to the citizens in Ukraine’s disputed eastern territories, who he asserts see themselves as Russian. Putin emphasized as part of his argument that Ukrainians as a whole are spiritually Russian, with Ukrainization being a creation of Soviet Union founder Vladimir Lenin.

The Ukrainians had their own language, culture, and identity before Lenin came on the scene. MY grandmother emigrated from the Ukraine BEFORE WW1 and the Communist Revolution. She had every intention of going back once she had earned enough money to buy land and live free and independent.

WW I and the Communist Revolution destroyed everything. There was nothing left to go back for.
