Tucker kinda looked like a simpleton at that moment in the interview. or at least catastrophically unprepared.
When nazism was mentioned, Tucker chimed in that nazism ended in 1945 with the defeat of Germany.
Putin seemed taken aback and replied that Nazi Germany ended, but the idea has not been completely defeated. He continued by pointing out that the coup government of Ukraine is building monuments to nazi heroes, naming streets after them etc.

Not Tucker’s smartest moment.

Putin’s health

Lex Fridman
(01:37:42) So you mentioned there’s a bunch of conspiracy theories about Putin’s health. How was he in person? What did he feel like? Did he look healthy?

Tucker Carlson
(01:37:52) I’m not a health person myself, so I can easily gain 30 pounds and not know it, so I’m probably not a great person to ask. But no, he seemed fine. He had his arm hooked through a chair, and I heard people say, “Well, he’s got Parkinson’s.” And Parkinson’s can be controlled I know for periods with drugs. So it’s hard to assess.

The Nazis fought the Soviets. Some folks in Eastern Europe may admire the Nazis just because of that. Especially now that the Russian Bear is back. But Tucker was right. Nazism ended in 1945.

The Ukrainians were not Nazi's; they were Nazi allies. But then so was Stalin with the division of Poland. The Ukrainians were in a difficult position, being stuck between the German Nazis and the Soviet Communists. The Communists gave them the Holodomor and subjugation under the Soviet Union. The Nazis promised independence from the Soviets. Can we really be surprised with whom they allied themselves?

Yeah, I think the problem Tucker has is the one that I had prior to 2022. While SOME HERE were well aware of the Nazi integration into their Ukrainian Government and Military, in fact the only country in the world openly touting its Nazis today, most, I suspect, were like me and had to do some research to understand the problem, which was well-documented in the West (including Wikipedia). Also, the latest Patrick Lancaster video, where he interviewed Russian-speaking people FORCED to live under Ukrainian occupation since 2014 made it quite clear regarding the Nazi infestation in Ukraine. The video was taken in Avdeevka several days ago, after it was liberated by Russia.

And Putin is fine with statues of Lenin, Marx, and Stalin from one end of Russia to the other.

What’s your point?

Meanwhile, msm articles galore from 4-5 years ago talked about Ukraine’s nazi problem but Tucker doesn’t read or watch the news. He relies on his team to inform him and it shows sometimes.
