The Living Force
I think Russia did initially go for a quick force strike into Ukraine. In full force to make it as quick as possilbe. However, then when they got to Kiev - or nearby, that was when the 'peace' initiative came about that was abhorted. As Russia pulled its troops back and everyone wondered why? And so many speculations then came about.
So then billions poured in fro the West and weapons etc so it ended up being drawn out as we see today.
I may well have got this wrong but I felt it went something like that.
A snip from the forthcoming 2nd interview (a bit of levity):
I just love it! Here is Tucker going to the Russian GMO free "McDonald's". Tucker knows that Putin banned GMO foods 4 years ago. I guess he knows quite a bit more about Putin and Russia then he admits publicly:
That's a shame that "Simplicius" left out any credits for the interview, snippets of which he posted in several tweets.
Interesting indeed!
Pavel Zaburin is considered one of the most prominent young stars in Russian journalism. Known for his exclusive reports for Russia-1 and other main Russian channels, and for regular conversations with Vladimir Putin; was one of the moderators of the direct line with Putin in last December. Zaburin was also the only journalist who interviewed the North Korean leader, Kim Jong-un during his visit to Russia.
Here is what Thomas Röper wrote on Feb 9 (machine transl.)
John Helmer was much less forgiving.

Putin: “Shall we end here, or is there anything else?”
7:52 AM · Feb 9, 2024
And in a comment below, to a question "On a scale out of 10. How would you rate the interview?", Helmer answered:
Some considered it unfair and I'd agree but would like to know Helmer's thoughts and reasons for such a harsh assessment.
Why is Tuckers head gone from this pic?That's a shame that "Simplicius" left out any credits for the interview, snippets of which he posted in several tweets.

I don’t get it?
Those videos are great, I specially liked his take on the shopping carts "so you can't take them to your homeless encampment lol"
Goes to show you the level of propaganda and how deep down it goes in the West that it's shocking that Russia has supermarkets and that their economy is doing well, and that their subway stations are clean... although to be fair, I think most everywhere else has nicer subway stations than the US, at least in every country I've ever been to.
Reaching here, it could be that Helmer might be saying that it really does not matter who was sitting in the chair - the headless/faceless man (who they would likely know inside out, hence the question of what type of questions are you going to ask, will you be serious), who would, moreover, then spread the message to his brethren in the west, albeit with predictable press reactions, who (cough) have been too enamored with themselves to notice much of anything for a few decades. Then again, Helmer has a past life in Russia with a not so happy association with the oligarchs, who he claims tried to poison him and then shoot him and, perhaps (speculating) holding Putin somewhat responsible. Have never read Helmer's particular book so can't say exactly, yet there are clues in some of his articles that look to some type of past enmity between himself and Putin. If so, this may have ebbed as history moved along and the western aided criminal oligarchs in Russia were rounded up, or some of them anyway.
If the last part is so, the converse is that the west oligarchs have a free hand at running the place, its institutions and its controlled satellites. Putin may also know that it does not matter what the western people think, it is all organized elite mafia that control them, near down to the carbon they breathe - Helmer would know as well.
Personally, if in sincerity as I think he was, Tucker brought to the world a glimpse that they don't see from behind their own curtain. Thus, despite the ptb, it has the possibility to bring both closer together to try and understand each other and history.
It is like my evangelic American relation who does not like Russia, when once asked if he remembered in history when the Tsar sent his Russian fleet to aid America against the British at Boston and San Francisco (with parades in their honor). This he could not comprehend, and yet it is his own history. That shakes them up.
Helmer's book extract:
If anyone has read this book, it may partially answer Possibility of Being's initial question. Helmer may also only see what he believes he is seeing or told he is seeing, in this case. His 'measures' may be off, however he is not stupid.
By the way, here is a quick post by Eva Bartlett showing Maria Zakharova giving it to the BBC's, Steve Rosenberg

I don't know, we'd have to ask Helmer, but there are several English idioms that come to mind. It might be an illustration for Tucker "going blank" after the final "Russian soul" episode, or "he was blown away" (understood as "defeated decisively" or "overwhelmed, shocked"). There is also this "blow your mind/head off" idiom which in some context can supposedly mean undergoing some kind of conversion experience when you witnessed or learned something that makes you realize that all your previous understanding was wrong or inadequate. Native speakers would know it better, those were just my thoughts when I saw the picture, FWIW.
Thanks for the post. I don't follow Helmer long and close enough to have a well informed opinion, but he seems honest and balanced, even though some Amazon customers in comments on his books see him as somewhat biased on the pro-Putin side. But I think he is right in the middle, seeing Russia (under Putin) as she is: neither a demon as the West pictures her, nor an angel as some want to see her. Russia still suffers from many unresolved problems and oligarchs along with mafias is still one of the most serious issues. Perhaps Helmer's focus on this aspect makes him bitter sometimes.
Too generous to Rosenberg!By the way, here is a quick post by Eva Bartlett showing Maria Zakharova giving it to the BBC's, Steve Rosenberg

In case someone missed this one, Lukashenko vs. Rosenberg, 2021, it's worth your time. 10 min long, with full conversation beneath.

Carlson's latest interview is about censorship, with Mike Benz, executive director of Foundation for Freedom Online.
Benz: "Our mainstream media is not, in any shape or form, even from its outset, independent from the national security state, from the State Department, from the War Department."

Yup, remembered this with Lukashencho this past summer, a classic dressing down. A good one for peeps to hear.
Yes, should be well revised in the negative.
Since the author of the idea himself positions the future possible (in my personal opinion, impossible) interview as a mirror of the Carlson-Putin interview, I will publish this announce here. However, something stubbornly tells me that it is useless to wait for a response to this request.
Киселев направил запрос на интервью с Байденом
Поскольку самим автором идеи будущее возможное (на мой личный взгляд невозможное) интервью позиционируется, как зеркало интервью Карлсона-Путина, то я опубликую это здесь. Однако что то мне упрямо подсказывает о бесполезности ожидания ответа на этот запрос.
Tucker's demonstration of the surpassing food quality of russian Mc Donald compared with an american one is falling short as I was watching this 4h.25h long video made by an uknown guy to me showing a Moscow shining with an almost idyllic beauty. Its architecture and harmonious structures blending with the streets arrangement/decoration together with such a peaceful and joyful crowd wandering all over the many places makes me realize how conditioned I am when it comes to how far any well meant leadership can make a difference in people's life. Enjoy!
