Russian President Vladimir Putin claimed, “Ukraine is obviously a satellite state of the U.S.” in an interview with journalist Tucker Carlson published on Thursday.
“Ukraine is obviously a satellite state of the U.S. It is evident,” Putin asserted in an interview with Tucker Carlson on Tuesday.
Watch Below (time code — 01:58:15):
Putin was responding to a question from Carlson, who asked, “Are you worried that what’s happening in Ukraine could lead to something much larger and much more horrible? And how motivated are you to call the U.S. government and say, ‘Let’s come to terms’?”
“I already said that we did not refuse to talk. We’re willing to negotiate,” Putin replied. “It is the Western side – and Ukraine is obviously a satellite state of the U.S. It is evident.”
Carlson replied, saying, “Of course, they’re a satellite. Big countries control small countries. That’s not new.”
“And that’s why I asked about dealing directly with the Biden administration, which is making these decisions, not President [Volodymyr] Zelensky of Ukraine,” Carlson added.
Putin responded, “If the Zelensky administration in Ukraine refused to negotiate, I assume they did it under the instruction from Washington.”
“If Washington believes it to be the wrong decision, let it abandon it,” Putin added. “It was not us who made this decision. It was them. So let them go back on it. That is it.”
Carlson then asked for clarification, asking Putin directly: “You want a negotiated settlement to what’s happening in Ukraine?”
“Right,” Putin replied. “And we made it. We prepared a huge document in Istanbul that was initialed by the head of the Ukrainian delegation.”
“He affixed his signature to some of the provisions — not to all of it — he put his signature, and then, he himself said,...

“Putin to Tucker Carlson: ‘Ukraine Is Obviously a Satellite State of the U.S.’”
Is the sky blue?
And it’s making RATS and Repukes, their family members, and big donors very rich.
But, but, but if we don’t send the $60 billion Ukrainian intelligence will release the naked pictures of our politicians.
And you wouldn’t want that, now would you?
It is now. Maybe not much longer.
He is wrong. If it was, it would getting dumped on by our government.
When a former vice president of the USA openly brags about getting a Ukranian prosecutor fired by threatening to withhold a generous foreign aid package, I would say that yes, Ukraine probably falls under the definition of being a US satellite.
Sadly some of you don’t understand pure Bsh!t when you hear it.
Putin wants peace he wants to negotiate it with the United States.
And then Tucker says do you really want to negotiate peace with America?
And of course Vlad says “We tried that already, and they were mean to us so let them be the ones to do it”.
And some of you are too blind to know he’s saying like hell, I don’t want peace I want to win.
Putin is a liar and there was a very long insightful article here about how Russia has a long standing culture of lying about what it does in the world.
Putin is gaslighting America First conservatives.
He doesn’t need to negotiate peace with anyone. He could end the war any day of the week.
And he especially won’t negotiate because he’s counting on conservatives to block aid for Ukraine.
Well duh we overthrew a democratically elected government and supported and installed puppet ones who would do our bidding. The msm never mentions that part.
I apologize. I didn’t realize you were still here.
You may go now.
Yep. Money trail painted with bright blue and yellow stripes.
Why don’t you grow up and stop calling intelligent and thoughtful people “idiots”. You’re not an honest participant in this discussion.
Clearly the US and NATO are working against Russia as if they were the USSR and this is 1962. Seriously, let them have what is theirs, which is the Donbas region where the people are Russian. We provoked the war, just like we did with Iraq under GHW Bush. Or going after Moammar Gaddafi. GOOD JOB, stabilized Libya about -0- much.

I can certainly understand why he feels that way.
Random comment from elsewhere:
“If you watched the entire interview you saw that Putin has a very sharp mind, is pretty much an expert on 1,100 years of Russian history and is well informed on contemporary world events.
Biden can’t remember when he was Vice President.”
I felt like Putin owned Tucker in the interview. Notice how many times Tucker shook his head in agreement. Putin played Tucker like a violin.
Cool. Now let’s have Tucker interview Biden...
Those cookies were poison.
Biden has conditions. Only questions on ice cream.
