That Friendship Treaty was signed 2 years before Putin came to power
That was when Russia was still a sort-of normal country that actually could get along with its neighbors ... then the warmongering monster took over ...
So are you. So what?
Most peoples and tribes of the world do not have a significant sense of humor.
Quebec-ers and French are one example.
German Scotts Italians most Arab tribes...
Boy, the excuses for Putin’s lousy performance are flying thick tonight!
lol
One day Canada will take over the world and you’ll all be sorry. :)
I agree with your assessment it was a great interview.
What would things be like if Russia HAD been allowed into NATO?
Now we might not ever know….
-I’m surprised Tucker forgot to ask Puting about the Russian–Ukrainian Friendship Treaty...-
Did you hear the interview or read the transcript?
Putin did address the issues you noted. I don’t know if what he said is true, but he did address them.
I heard the interview and read the transcript. The transcript is a little easier to follow and go through.
Quotes above and below the link:
Because the Rus were the Slavic peoples who lived in the part of eastern Europe that is (mostly) Russia and Ukraine today. Until the 9th century these peoples weren’t organized together politically. When they got together they made their capital Kiev—or Kyiv, as it’s known today. They were the Rus united under the government in Kiev. Kiev/Kyiv did not remain the center of power for this political union, but it’s where things started. Kievan Rus thus refers to a specific time in the history of the region. Kievan Rus included most of the Rus, who were Slavic, as well as Finns and some Norse peoples.
Kievan Rus was the dominant state until the 13th century when the Mongols invaded and destroyed Kiev, and established the Golden Horde, who ruled the area for a while. Later on, a new Slavic state pulled the Rus together under the “Caesar of all the Rus”, or “the Tsar of all the Russias.”

Rus was not a unite state but rather a federation of several principalities.
Besides it is necessary to note that the central elements of the statehood were not the principalities (as territories), but the princes.
I mean that every prince usually ruled different principalities during his lifetime. All the princes were member of one family. The goal of every prince was to posess the Kyiv principality and become the Great prince. At first the question of Kyiv ruler had been resolving due to heriditary rules. For example, the elder son of a current Great prince usually took the Kyiv throne after his father. Such elder son usually took the Pereyaslav principality, that was next to Kyiv. Possession of the Pereyaslav principality was kind of a sign that the prince was going to become the Great prince.
Putin is a psycho and you can see every single one of the Putin Stooges is a deranged idiot.
The truth about Canadians:
They have very short attention spans.
Lousy performance?
I enjoyed it, especially the part where Tucker asked him about why denazification was so important and Vlad gave the example of the Canadian parliament still honoring Nazis.
Putin’s performance wasn’t lousy.
It was geared higher than many Americans can grok.
Read much Russian literature? Great authors. None intellectually sparse.
Read Solzhenitsyn? The Gulag Archipelago?

Indeed.
Actually the Russian deep-state (the old sovietoïds) took over... and they selected their favorite obeying deep-state-KGB guy : Putin.
Russian literature is like the Russia in general—it just sucks your soul out trying to plod through it; 35 words to say what could be said in 5.
I guess there is no Russian word for Editor.
WIKI
The region of the Kievan Rus’ fragmented in the early 12th century and a number of semi-autonomous successor states arose. Kiev remained the core of the country and was the center of the spiritual life with the office of the Metropolitan of the Russian Orthodox Church in Kiev.
Following the death of Mstislav I of Kiev in 1132, the semi-autonomous states were de facto independent and so led to the emergence of the Principality of Kiev as a separate state.
The importance of the Kievan Principality began to decline. In the years 1150–1180 many of its cities such as Vyshhorod, Kaniv, and Belgorod sought independence as individual principalities. The emergence of the principalities of Vladimir-Suzdal and Galicia-Volhynia resulted in the transition of the political and cultural center of Rus’ as well as the migration of citizens to cities like Vladimir and Halych.
The Mongol invasion of Rus’ left the Principality of Kiev in a severely ruined state. Following the invasion, it was now under the formal suzerainty of the Grand Prince of Vladimir-Suzdal, Alexander Nevsky, who in turn was a vassal to the Mongols. After the Battle of Irpen in 1321, Kiev was the object of desire for the Lithuanian Grand Duke Gediminas, and it was incorporated into the Grand Duchy of Lithuania in 1362. The Principality formally existed as a distinct entity until 1471, when it was converted into the Kiev Voivodeship

Biden is an Fing pos.
Your mistake seems to be that you think we are choosing between Biden and Putin.
We are choosing between Biden and Trump.
Putin is a foreign enemy and a lying mass murderer.
“He is serious as are most Russian men. They also don’t have much of a sense of humor.”
Brezhnev Era Russian Joke:
What has four legs and forty teeth? An alligator.
What has forty legs and four teeth? The Politburo.
I read the Gulag Archipelago when it came out which is when I was in university. It was a tough slog to start but I knew it was an important book so I kept going and it got easier the further I got into it. It made me staunchly anti communist and one of the most important works of the 20th century.
I saw a man speak for 2 hours on various topics that he was well informed about and then I saw our president screw up a 5 minute press conference.
