That is as nauseating as it could possibly be. Shows how non self aware they are.

PJW is a great one.

Parts of it were entertaining.

Putin had all of the classic Russian "it is what it is" psyche on display, with a touch of "Eff you little boy".

He's not a stooge, and not an idiot.

You don't crawl up out of the KGB by being a nice guy.

Journalism

One major take-away for me was seeing the enormous mental disadvantage we have with Biden, as compared to the Putin.

“In the early 80s, I went on a road trip in a car from then Leningrad, across the Soviet Union through Kyiv,” he told Carlson at one point, as the interview threatened to become an episode of This Is Your Life

That was when Putin the Great met and bested the dreaded giant Kornpopovitch.

“You wanted a debate?”

I said the Kremlin didn’t WANT a debate; nor did it want it to turn INTO a debate (nor should it have). In any event, Tucker was in no position TO debate. Thus, the interview was what it was supposed to be: Controlled.

“Are you running for high school class president or something”

Are you running for your first-grade class chalkboard eraser cleaner or something?

Hi. I’m Adam Gabbatt. I’m a journalist, writer and presenter based in New York. I like reporting on unusual places, people and things. I’ve covered everything from amateur fist-fighting in West Virginia, to runaway zebras in Maryland, to what it’s like to be Donald Trump.

It’s a shame about the accident where the elephant stepped on his head at the circus, when Adumb was a little kid.

That was a foregone conclusion.

Instead, viewers got a lesson in Russian history, going all the way back to Prince Rurik – a Scandinavian who came and dished out a good kicking in the region in 862 ...

Putin wants to say that Russia has been a perpetual victim and is insecure. Other people have said that the Russians have been incapable of governing themselves -- or at least have had real trouble doing so (but then, that reproach has been thrown at a lot of different peoples down through history).

Someone should ask Biden to give a 30 minute outline of American History.

Too bad they don’t follow their own advice.

So has anyone verified the history lesson from Putin at least?

Now, you're referencing far-left columnists from British publications to smear Tucker? Reeks of desperation.
