LOL, Tucker Carlson was irritated when he asked Putin why he invaded Ukraine, and Putin responded with a tedious recounting of Russian and Ukrainian history.

“Putin went on for a very long time, probably half an hour, about the history of Russia,” the former prime-time star explained in his preamble from a spot overlooking Moscow’s Red Square as snow fell around him. “... And honestly, we thought this was a filibustering technique and found it annoying and interrupted him several times, and he responded. He was annoyed by the interruption.”

Obviously he does mean that. But it’s still a good bit of trolling.

Let’s have your list of Putin lies. Please don’t bother with what you’ve been told he said or what you always thought he thought. Direct quotes from Putin in the TC interview that are lies. Has Karine Jean Pierre given out the roadmap for such challenges yet? I’d prefer your list of quotes but if I have to wait for KJP’s recycled ones that’s ok too.

And now it’s back to UFOs and Space Aliens for Tucker after this sad flop of an “interview.”

Poland started World War 2? Or was “Putin” just kidding?

“...which led to the ousting of then pro-Moscow Ukrainian President Viktor Yanukovych, which he claimed took place with the backing of the CIA...”

Not just the backing of the CIA, they were the primary instigators. It never would have happened otherwise without Victoria Nuland and the smelly anal fingers of Obama.

What would American citizens say if a foreign enemy (like China) removed a duly elected USA president and installed a puppet? Oh wait!

LOL, Putin started lying immediately, when he denied saying NATO might attack Russia.

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.

Oh, you noticed there was a Soviet Union, huh? You have to admit it was an accurate recounting of Russia’s and Ukraine’s history except for that Soviet seventy year period that got the Yezhov treatment. Let me rephrase my question, which makes it more relevant anyway. In Putin’s direct quotes regarding the post Soviet period of NATO/Russian relations, where are the lies?

“What is the Left trying to hide?”

A number of things that are slowly, probably too slowly, coming out.

Our country has been run for many years by left leaning people that are not determined to protect the US but use it. Over the last 30 years, roughly, many questionable issues have surfaced about the dark side of the US. And with the failing of the counter balance of a two solid recognizable party system, and only one taking the initiative to protect the nation and then quiting for their own prosperity, the government by the people has been erased. At least, not the people that actually live here.

Except for Trump, we haven’t had a true conservative president since Reagan. Both Bushes were so interested in reaching across the aisle, they fell forward getting it done and allowed the left to slip things by that were instrumental in punishing the people they represent. And the left learned in the 1950’s that they didn’t have to have the POTUS slot, just one house of congress. And they have successfully blocked everything the GOP was trying and when they had the POTUS they used the office to take over the country, not share it.

So is this “interview” important for the US? No. But it is being used to cloud the graft the government is doing on the back burner even to the point of proving a president has been judged mentally incompetent which everyone knew when he got elected. And if they pull him, you get know nothing, do nothing Kamala for a year at which she could do a variety of damage with the ink pen and the new government of the executive orders which up to the administration of Obama, were there to order pencils. Think about that one if you find out why they didn’t prosecute Biden since this “interview” is so important to this country.

The left doesn’t care what Putin says. They just tell the robot sheep what to interpret from it while they do what they wanted to begin with. Tucker Carlson has been a leftish stooge for years while he was working for MSNBC, CNN, and PBS prior to 2010. And he’s still working for them in his narcistic position. But to the GOP, he’s a rusty tool ruined by years of not producing legit work above board undermining the right. It’s all for show folks. And it makes money for certain people while Rome burns. Maybe that’s the real global warming.

That all the reporters talk about is the reporter is the demostration sickness of the modern media. If one just takes that Putin took 1/2 hour of his day away from oligarchizing to go through a 1200 year long grievance list is important. Seem old Vlad is buried in a bubble that 1945 to Today is less important than in 862 King Rurik had duck on the breakfast menu. That in the west is an important factor that the diplomats in state proably say something to western leaders, and western leaders quickly forget. When the conversation is face to face, the take away is this guy is wasting my time. It is easier to raise 120B and kick the can down the road until the unknown modern metrosexual guy land in moscow leadership.

Tucker missed alot of questions after the history lesson. Mostly aimed at getting back to the groups that support Putin. None would have had Putin walking out at that point.

If he would have channeled a journalist from 50 years ago the questions would have been.

“Why does the most serious of analysts in the west estimate only one 1 in 1000 Russian casualties is from the Moscow obelisk?” “Why are you at war with your own peasant class?”

“Why in the modern era of Russia are you feeding conscripts with no training and zero effective weapons to a meat grinder?”

“What is the diffrence between the Soviet era and the Modern Russian Era on world Politics?”

Here is the last question of the night.....

“What is your feelings about the people in control of the west, are they using the western wealth as disposable and populous as pawns?” — “Why are you using your populous as pawns and why are they so ill-equipped for victory?”

There is good odds Putin does not know the west is hanging their hat on “Moscow is always ill-equipped for victory?”

LOL, yes it must be because of CIA mind control that ALL eastern European countries joined (or want to join) the EU and not some Russian-BananaStan(CIS) economic group. It can't have anything to do with Europe's much higher standard of living. Okay

”We should thank God they didn't let you in.”

Putin thanked God. I honestly speculate that our leaders thank Satan.?.

In the United States today you don’t interview the president unless you are a propagandist reading preprepared questions to which the answers are put on a teleprompter for the president to read. As for the president interviewing you, the current president is incapable of doing so.

I saw the whole thing and found it very enlightening. "Conservatives" eat their own, which is why we lose little things like elections, schools, families, and our country.
