THIS is the powerful moment a British journalist bravely challenges Vladimir Putin and labels him as a "weaker leader" than Donald Trump.
Fearless Keir Simmons launched the rare full-frontal attack on the mad despot at his bizarre annual call-in event with Vlad left red-faced with rage.
Simmons was allowed to ask the Russian leader a question at yesterday's marathon conference as he took the opportunity to lambast Putin over his unsuccessful 2024.
The top NBC journalist said directly to the tyrant: "Mr President you have failed to reach the objectives of your special military operation.
"Large numbers of Russians have died - including a general assassinated here in Moscow this week and the leader of Syria who you supported has been overthrown.
"Mr President when you face President-elect Trump you will be the weaker leader, how do you propose to compromise, what are you going to offer?"

“poking the bear”
It;s the whore actually.
“The cartoon is not about anothing other than zeepers, who will fall for any propaganda that comes along.
And they love to post it!”
I don’t know what a “Zeeper” is .
But I know that 1)Putin is a thug who invaded a neighboring country 2) Yhis nation has didn’t say too much money there 3) Russia would have never invaded had Trump been President 4) Weakness invites aggression
Reporter is an idiot . And a provocateur.
Who is he really working for?
Best expand your historical understanding by an additional decade …
Why do idiot “journalists” insert themselves into delicate issues and flair egos for the purpose of self aggrandizement? They need to stay the hell out of the negotiations and simply report the news that they have no business being a part of. Lives are at stake. It seems that they always want to pit Trump and Putin against each other.
“ Best expand your historical understanding by an additional decade …”
That doesn’t matter.
Russia invaded a sovereign nation.
Good people don’t do those things
We do not allow a Russian correspondents into a press conference. Neither do the Brits where asking the wrong question can literally get you arrested. Can you show me the last time a Russian correspondent asked a western leader a question? Not some expat, but an actual current Russian journalist?
And can anyone imagine a Russian Tucker Carlson getting an hour plus one on one interview with Starmer or Biden?
You are delusional if you think we have a free press anymore. We have a controlled mockingbird press. But DC appreciates your support!
Yeah sport. Here we are more civilized. The FBI hijacks reporters computers at night and plant malware. And we hound reporters like Glen Greenwald. We make plans to assassinate Assange.
The US Government loves reporters! (As long as they report the party line!)
“Russia invaded a sovereign nation. Good people don’t do those things”.
One, Ukraine ended at the coup in Kiev. The nazi group that seized power in Kiev tried grab the rest of old Ukraine. They attacked in the east... killing civilians and conducting ethnic cleansing for 8 years. Russia quite legally intervened under UN rules.
And as for “good people” not invading sovereign nations, Serbia, Iraq, Syria, Libya, all rise to a point of order. lol
Why don’t you go to Russia and establish a Fox News or Newsnax or X for that matter, and see how long you live.
I’m not defending the FBI, however, the Russia worship is tiring.
Ohhhhh..... you are one of those who thinks FOX is conservative or something? LOL
And I see you cannot refute my point. Take that Brit “reporter” and tell me a Russian reporter would be allowed such latitude with Biden or Starmer. Tell me they would even be allowed in the room!
Tell me they would allow their “Tucker” an hour alone with our leaders.
1. Please list all nations that are not sovereign, or it is without meaning.
2. History didn't just start with the invasion. But you are covering your ears and saying "That doesn’t matter." I don't respect the purposefully ignorant.
3. My own country, the USA has invaded many countries and subverted many countries. Are we bad people in your calculus also?
You are giving cover for a dictator to invade another country with your comments.
Conservatives never used to talk this way.
Reagan would never have allowed this.
Trump wouldn’t have allowed it.
—> You are giving cover for a dictator to invade another country with your comments.
No. That is silly.
—> Conservatives never used to talk this way.
Reagan would never have allowed this.
Trump wouldn’t have allowed it.
They all would. They could all think.
Unlike the zeepers among us.
Big Fing deal.
I don’t have to defend Biden or the FBI to know that Russia is a tin horn dictatorship where they literally murder journalists.
They do not have freedom of press, or speech, or assembly.
Putin is a murderous vile evil pos ala Hitler and maybe you’ll stop kissing his heinie when Trump is president.
If you think Russia treats journalists better than America, you are stark raving mad.
Give it up.
Putin is fizzing. That’s kind of cute, really.
Further, who a leader, foreign or domestic, decided to sit down with for an hour is their own goddamn business.
Putin sat down with Tucker Carlson because TC opposed Western support for Ukraine, said we were trying to invade Russia, and bought into Russian nonsense about biolabs.
So how in hell does it demonstrate anything that Putin would give TC an interview?
Unless you’re devoid of critical thinking.
“They all would. They could all think.”
Not a chance this would have happened under Trump
Trump understands what is happening.
He will sort it out.
