He has said himself, on air, that he is rooting for Russia to win. He has argued for pro-Russian positions many, many times, to a very large audience. He is very much a powerful propagandist.
Is it just an easy way to deflect from critics by blaming tucker? If tucker had actually asked tough questions would he have been arrested or something?
Tucker went in with the explicit purpose of bootlicking; there were never going to be tough questions asked. Perhaps Putin was genuinely surprised at how naked Tucker's sycophancy was, or perhaps Putin is just trying to make himself look more legitimate by being 'totally prepared for tough questions, no doubt, you guys!'
If Tucker had asked tough questions, the worst that would have happened is that the interview would have been cut short.
Seems like it. Then Putin can say “I’m ready to answer any difficult questions and tell you the whole truth! Carlson just decided not to ask difficult questions for some reason… I’m totally super surprised…”
The recent aid package to keep the Ukrainian wartime economy afloat was also fantastic. Yeah, Europe may lack the MIC of the US, but that’s okay, because money can work too. Because you know who does have a really healthy, robust MIC? S Korea. You’ll just need money in order to buy from them, their generosity has limits, while their willingness to do business does not.
They do happen to have one of the largest artillery forces on the planet though, and an incredibly robust domestic manufacturing base.
So, multiple ways to tackle the problem, and we’ll probably want some of each.
My bet is Putin is vetting Tucker Carlson for Trump’s running mate.
Once Tucker kisses the ring, and likely commits a crime (or other misdeeds) on Putin’s orders (to serve as puppet-string kompromat for Putin’s plans), Putin will give the blessing for Trump to announce Tucker Carlson as his VP running mate.
Then, just imagine a 2028 Presidential bid from Tucker (win or lose in ‘24)…
I mean in an inverse or parallel way. Just replace the names.
The “interview” is just cover.
My bet is Soros is vetting AOC for Biden’s running mate.
Once AOC kisses the ring, and likely commits a crime (or other misdeeds) on Soros’s orders (to serve as puppet-string kompromat for Soros’s plans), Soros will give the blessing for Biden to announce AOC as his VP running mate.
Then, just imagine a 2028 Presidential bid from AOC (win or lose in ‘24)…
I’m not saying this never occurs. I studied russia/easten Europe for years and am very familiar with the kremlin’s history. Of course it happens. It’s one of their bread and butter tactics.
I’m saying that the string of events this person is theorizing is cut whole cloth from speculation. I think we can both acknowledge that.
Just because something “makes sense” doesn’t mean it’s true.
