I found the transcript of the Tucker - Putin Interview. its too long to post here, but here also is the video of the interview:



This will be very divisive and will be viewed very negatively in quarters, however my view is, always understand your opponents mind as you can manage expectations better. interviewing Putin, or Castro, or Hitler or Blair, or Clinton, or any of these leaders is a Journalists Job and it is a credit to Tucker that he managed to do this (whether you like him or not, whether you like the interview or not).

TLDR: 2 Hours later, the main points to the interview: No surprises here, he touched on everything we have said in the past i.e.

1. The 2014 CIA backed coup in Ukraine, and the long term ramifications of same.
2. The US long term decision not to see Russia as a partner. Nato expansion ever eastwards.
3. Zelensky, the peace treaty between Ukraine and Russia from 1/12 years ago, Boris Johnson and the roadblocks preventing a peace treaty.
4. Russia's goals relating to Ukraine, poland etc.

I was making a generalization so I'm sorry for quoting you directly.

I just think it's laughable how "some" people on this forum actually think that the immigration problem isn't almost entirely on the Biden Administration.

I've also come to the assumption that literally no one who posts on this sub forum is from Chicago or New York and these two cities are the greatest example of failed democrat policies.

I get upset because I see the mass influx of migrants flooding Chicago and then the mayor there tried to just push these people to the suburbs which failed horribly and actually make the problem much worse in the city.

People like Joe Biden are cowards for telling migrants to come to America you'll have a better opportunity when cities like Chicago/New York are almost unaffordable to live in. The suburbs even more expensive.

Without total government assistance these migrants don't have a shot at a normal American way of life. The "American Dream" was a lie and a farce to begin with and the idea that people are still sold that the 'American Dream" is within reach if you "work hard" is a joke to me.

So of course these people are going back to their home countries because they were lied too....

That's why I quoted that article because it shows that even if you give these people 15,000 dollars the cost of living in a major city like Chicago will evaporate that money just in "rent alone". That Venezuelan from the article was working 2-3 jobs and still with 15,000 to start with realized that there was no way he could achieve some level of financial stability and so he took him and his family back to his home country.

i probably pissed some people off by posting the interview, i might as well post the next one.

Now everyone is pissed off

BBC: Tucker Carlson: Putin takes charge as TV host gives free rein to Kremlin
Al Jazeera: In a two-hour talk, the pair covered history, politics and war. Ukrainians and Russia watchers say it was simply propaganda.
CNN: The sit-down interview in Moscow sparked controversy for Carlson before it even aired and saw the former Fox News host largely refrain from challenging the Russian authoritarian.
Politico: It was never going to be a hard-hitter.
Ireland: Tucker Carlson delivers the softball interview that Putin hoped for
financial times: How Tucker Carlson became Putin’s useful idiot
The Times: Tucker Carlson interviews Putin — who blames war on US
Hilary Clinton: branded Carlson as a “useful idiot” and a “puppy dog” in an interview with MSNBC, and said she would “not be surprised if he emerges with a contract with a Russian outlet.”

The interview was not hard hitting and did not bring any new information to the table. it was more of an insight into Putin's thought process and position.

I didn't watch it. But the summary pretty says it all. Putin interviewed Tucker Carlson, spread the word about Russia's politics and history concentrated, NATO bad, Ukraine didn't exist unless Soviets allowed to. Boring. Pure lies.

Sounds like a journalist committing an act of journalism. Covering what world leaders have to say, not telling people how to think. We've locked up multiple journalists for less.
