Tucker Carlson In Moscow: I'm Interviewing Putin "To Inform People" On "History-Altering Developments"
RealClear Politics ^ | 6 Feb, 2024 | Tim Hains/Tucker Carlson

Posted on 02/07/2024 4:48:24 AM PST by MtnClimber

Tucker Carlson explains why he conducted an interview with Russian President Vladimir Putin.

TUCKER CARLSON: We're in Moscow tonight. We're here to interview the President of Russia, Vladimir Putin. We'll be doing that soon. There are risks to conducting an interview like this, obviously. So we've thought about it carefully over many months. Here's why we're doing it. First, because it's our job. We're in journalism. Our duty is to inform people. Two years into a war that's reshaping the entire world, most Americans are not informed.

They have no real idea what's happening in this region, here in Russia or 600 miles away in Ukraine. But they should know, they're paying for much of it in ways they might not fully yet perceive. The war in Ukraine is a human disaster. It's left hundreds of thousands of people dead. An entire generation of young Ukrainians. And has depopulated the largest country in Europe. But the long-term effects are even more profound. This war has utterly reshaped the global military and trade alliances, and the sanctions that followed have as well. And in total, they have upended the world economy.

The post-World War 2 economic order, the system that guaranteed prosperity in the West for more than 80 years, is coming apart very fast, and along with it, the dominance of the US dollar. These are not small changes. They are history-altering developments. They will define the lives of our grandchildren. Most of the world understands this perfectly well. They can see it. Ask anyone in Asia or the Middle East what the future looks like. And yet the populations of the English-speaking countries seem mostly unaware. They think that nothing has really changed. And they think that because no one has told them the truth.

Leftist heads are exploding, and some on the right as well.

I posted this as soon as it appeared yesterday. Was just trying to tell people about the interview if they wanted to watch.

The thread quickly became a barroom brawl.

“Putin is Hitler”

“Tucker is a traitor and a butt kisser”

“Putin is a communist”

“No you’re a Democrat, you’re the communist”

“No you’re the traitor”

Just warning you.

Many here sounded the alarm when the SWIFT switch was used.
It sent a signal to every country on Earth.

My only question now is: Will TC call a foul on Putin when Putin starts to lie about the facts behind the 2014 invasion of Ukrainian territory?

Are you similarly offended by the lying Biden administration?

The most striking thing that stands out about Putin is that he is not trying to utterly destroy his own nation. Neither is Xi, who is an extremely evil man, by the way.

Try searching SWIFT banking system and Russia.

Absolutely. Especially about illegal immigration issues, but also some of the fulminations about the economy are real knee-slappers. Then there is the 2020 election fraud issue, of course.

TC is a big fan of the Wagner Group having been given all sorts of memorabilia.

“Tucker Carlson turned out to be a big fan of Prigozhin and Wagner PMC. He even enthusiastically boasted to the FSO officers guarding him about the stripes and other souvenirs that his “musician” acquaintances had given him in Russia.”
