Tucker Carlson Throws Putin Under the Bus
Newsweek ^ | 2/29/2024 | Kaitlin Lewis

Posted on 02/29/2024 2:25:46 PM PST by marcusmaximus

Tucker Carlson bashed Russian President Vladimir Putin's justification for invading Ukraine, claiming that the "denazification" of the country was "one of the dumbest things I'd ever heard."

-snip-

Carlson also described his first impression of Putin as someone who "seemed nervous," telling Fridman that the Russian president "went into [the interview] like an over-prepared student."

Fridman specifically asked Carlson for his opinion on Putin's justification for continuing the war in Ukraine, which in part is to achieve the "denazification" of the country. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, who is Jewish, has repeatedly dismissed the Kremlin's claims that Kyiv's government is openly "pro-Nazi."

"I thought it was one of the dumbest things I'd ever heard," Carlson told Fridman. "I didn't understand what it meant."

"I hate that whole conversation because it's not real," he continued. "It's just ad hominem. It's a way of associating someone with an evil regime that doesn't exist anymore."

Why would Putin look younger than Tucker Carlson?

The Putin exercises with a Taylor Swift passion doll.

Now, however [thanks to MI-6, those perfidious Limey miscreants!], his leg will start shaking again, and his stage-4 elbow cancer will return!

The Patrushev is rubbing his hands in glee.

Nazis are worthy of being admired, they were only fighting communism, and nazism ended in 45.

Got it. Go back to sleep.

Zelensky is a Jew. So I think that’s your evidence. If it was a serious problem, he wouldn’t be the President of Ukraine today.

This Uke Nazi government is primarily from the Galician area.
They were not even part of the Holomodor. In 1930-33 they were part of Poland.

The western area of Ukraine Galicia and Volhynia were taken by Russia in 1939.

No no, the Banderist area of Ukraine in Lviv, Lwow or whatever they call it was not even part of the Holomodor.

Ok, I don’t get the egg jokes. Can someone explain? There was an egg shortage in Russia, and that is all I have heard.

So is all forgiven? Do we love Tucker now?
***********************************************
It depends. Did he spend at least 20 minutes with Putin discussing UFO’s?

Tucker Carlson
He’s had some work done, for sure. He’s 71 or two.


Plastic surgery is very popular in Russia. Everything is fake about that place.
