Tucker Carlson interviews & ideologies

Great interview, probably my favorite was how knowledgable Putin is and how he showcases this as he speaks.

He picked up momentum little by little and spoke very well on most topics, despite his directness, he was never offensive or defensive, he was courteous and tactful. He wasn't even antagonizing agains that US despite everything, his whole thing was.. "The US needs to change its attitude about the inevitable change taking place in the world" simple.

All items and concepts we're fairly familiar with but he delivered them with tremendous calm.

A few quotes from Tucker after the interview that I felt were interesting

"We are going to depose Putin. Well, then what happens?" he asked, remembering the consequences of US interventions in Middle Eastern countries. "What happened in Libya when we deposed and allowed [...] them to assassinate [Muammar] Gaddafi? What happened in Iraq when we brought Saddam [Hussein] to justice? Those countries fell apart and have never been rebuilt again ". Likewise, he recalled the situation in Afghanistan, where the Taliban were overthrown and then returned to power.

"So our record of overthrowing the leader, which is very easy to do, is spotty at best," he summarized.

"Things don't always get better. And to do that to Russia, you know, the largest landmass in the world with the largest nuclear arsenal, you're high if you think it's a good idea," he concluded.

Also, I kept thinking, imagine Biden sitting down for an interview in a different language for 2 hours, and then I didn't even have to wonder what that would look like, today Biden decided to address the nation today to express his thanks over not being indicted for mishandling documents and information, and oh boy, he confused the president of Mexico with the president of Egypt, on the same day that Putin is schooling Tucker Carlson about how the planet works, Biden can't even remember the country he's supposed to be talking about.

US President Joe Biden addressed American society in an unannounced speech this Thursday. In his speech, he stated that he was "satisfied" with the result of the report from the Department of Justice, which decided not to file charges against him for his handling of classified documents, but warned about its "significant limitations" in his memory.

In his speech, the president became angry with the journalists when they asked him about the state of his cognitive abilities. "My memory...my memory is fine. My memory...take a look at what I have done since I became president," he emphasized.

However, he subsequently made a new slip by referring to his Egyptian counterpart, Abdel Fattah el-Sisi, as the "president of Mexico." "The response in the Gaza Strip has been exaggerated. I think that, as you know, initially the president of Mexico, El-Sisi, did not want to open the door to allow the entry of humanitarian material. I spoke with him, I convinced him to open it "he commented.

I think Tucker put on his serious face of 'listening with full attention' as a respect to Putin. I'm also glad that Tuckers attention, focus and concentration didn't waver or dissolve too much. He managed to guide the conversation more or less on a stable track that we could follow. It was Tuckers responsibility to lead with questions. There weren't signs of confusion - unanswered questions - and misunderstanding and separation of ways / going hopelessly apart. Rather he planned pointed questions, like a real American journalist should follow forceful and assertive American interests. Maybe it surprised him a little that Putin gave a thorough education in history and great humanity to the West. Putin showed and taught here the morals of Caesarean Clemency, translated into modern geopolitics.

Any other Western journalist - other than Tucker - would have pursued a hopelessly antagonistic line of questioning and would have devolved this interview into a confused, impotent, annoying mess.

I noted also how Tucker was trying Putin to comment on the existence of the secret government and also at some point Tucker asked if he though there was something human factor behind in the interminable cycle of decision making driving the USA. I can’t remember the time stamp of this, I think Tucker has an idea now about some hyperdimensional intervention on some things on the planet and in a veeeery subtle way tried Putin to comment or see if he has an opinion about it.

Yeah, I was a bit disappointed actually. Another example was when he was trying to get Putin to disclose his evidence on the bombing of Nordstream. Tucker seemed to be asking Putin questions he already knew the answers to get Putin to provide some validation, but Putin was being very circumspect and seemed to be leaving a lot of things to be read between the lines. Putin seemed more interested in presenting himself as a reasonable man who can be bargained with to some faction of alternative elites rather than backing them into a corner with "truth bombs." Considering what he's up against, I'm not sure why he wastes his time; Putin is almost too polite. I guess Putin's angle is that he will only escalate things with the deep state to just the minimum degree necessary to protect Russian interests, which he hopes will keep a lid on their destructive tantrums. I noticed he was essentially intimating to the American people that they need to confront their own elites to get answers to the deeper questions. That seems like wishful thinking considering the way America works, but maybe Putin sees something I don't.

After almost two and a half hours, it's hard to remember specific details, but Putin said he didn't believe there was a supernatural component (paraphrasing). He put the blame, so to speak, on real people doing real things.

I liked his answer concerning the question Tucker posed about China. There was something else Putin answered in the latter part of the interview that I found surprising, but I can't remember it now. Putin covered a lot of ground and was a master of diplomacy particularly not divulging confidential details of conversations.

I imagine this interview will be dissected as to questions and answers so I won't have to relisten to the whole thing again. I did enjoy the history background that Putin detailed.
 
I agree that Tucker’s expression was one of respectful attention to every word Putin was saying. But what really struck me, aside from the excellent history lesson, was the expression of the Russian soul. That is the core of the difference between the Russian heart and the Western mind. If anything should resonate with people anywhere, it is that. And with that he gained the respect of many of the hearts that are taught to equate his name with evil. Or at least gave them pause.

I will tell you the moment I was a little troubled in Putin's answers, and let me know if anyone else had the same impression. When Tucker was asking about the brain analogy....I thought Putin was going to say something like "Why do their have to be two halves...why cannot there be many people doing there own thing cooperating peacefully" More like a coral colony or something like that.

He went the other direction. That we needed a "new global security framework" - which sounded an aweful lot like global government still to me...just on Russia's terms or terms to be negotiated by the East and West - with the South still enslaved to the will of the great powers. That has always been my fear of BRICS as well - out with the Old Gods, in with the New Gods....and they give the world a new form of bullying - Chinese style.

Can't we just have a purely TRULY MULTIPOLAR framework where countries can go their own ways and not bother each other? No big brother telling others what to do? I suspect all these factions are working towards the same goal, and it is not in the best interests of all of us.

When I think of the alternative though, a world with many nuclear powers guided only by self-interest and no security framework (aka mutual deterrence and binding treaties) it basically sounds like lawlessness on the world stage. If we can take what Bukele has done in El Salvador as a microcosm, introducing harsh laws to incarcerate criminals, with clear social benefits, I think we can see in that the potential of a multipolar world order organized under international law. The same could be said for China's incarceration of financial parasites. I just don't think anarchy works on this planet, on a small scale or large.

I'm not opposed to global government if it's directed on the basis of actually respecting and enforcing human rights, upholding agreements, and a focus on trade and cross-cultural sharing, and win-win cooperation, reason, mutual respect, etc. This looks to me like what the BRICS+ is organizing, to the degree possible in 3D. Ideally this would a globalism amongst sovereigns, or a world-wide scale of the Musketeer's principle 'All for one, and one for all'. It'll sure be interesting to wait and see how it all unfolds. In the interview, Putin seemed confident that it is as inevitable as the rising of the sun.

The psychopaths and hyperdimensional overlords may go into full evil mode to subvert it all in the near future, but IMO the era we're entering sure looks a lot better than Team America World Police on the one hand, or global nuclear-armed anarchy on the other. We may actually be headed for a Peace of Westphalia redux!

A Challenge to Pepe Escobar: Why the True Westphalian System is in Perfect Harmony with the New Silk Road and Tianxia

I don't know what the future will hold for China in particular. It seems to me that they've made pretty good on their path of Confucian ethics to maintain social harmony (banning porn and limiting video game time), and a blend of Marxist/Market economics. They've got a peaceful foreign policy, too, relatively speaking. They don't seem like they want to be the new hegemon. These all look like good signs to me, as I don't see the signs of outright ponerization in China, quite the opposite. I could be wrong, but a new evil China-led NWO just doesn't look to be in the cards to my eyes. At least not for a while.

My two cents.
 

Hillary Clinton nails Tucker Carlson with just two words over Putin interview​

She calls him a "useful idiot".
There is no stopping that woman's delusional persona. Just like Biden, she is really loosing touch with reality! After all, she could not let this interview go without challenge, right? :rotfl:


Hillary Clinton has waded into Tucker Carlson's upcoming controversial interview with Russian President Vladimir Putin, branding the former Fox News anchor a "useful idiot."

Carlson's much-hyped and maligned interview with Putin is set to debut on his website on Thursday evening but the outspoken conservative is already being criticized for speaking to Putin before the interview has even aired after he claimed other western journalists couldn't be "bothered" to interview the Russian.


Now, speaking to Alex Wagner on MSNBC, Clinton gave her two cents on Carlson meeting Putin and she didn't hold back. The former Democratic presidential candidate said: "Well, it shows me what I think we’ve all known: he’s what’s called a ‘useful idiot.’

“I mean, if you actually read translations of what’s being said on Russian media, they make fun of him. I mean, he’s like a puppy dog.”

“After having been fired from so many outlets in the United States, I would not be surprised if he emerges with a contract with a Russian outlet.”
 
The interview with Tucker and Putin was indeed magnificent. Not only is he an interesting and really knowledgeable historian, but his answers reflect what is going on. On many occasions to Tucker's questions, I could tell he did not want an aggressive whodunit or accusing upfront who or what is really going on. A real stateman who knows his place and knows that anything he says, particularly to the millions who are watching his answers can be reflective of what comes about from other fronts.

He needs to be careful as attempts on his life have been tried and may still be active again. He is indeed a deep thinker! He reminds me of my father when he wanted us to know something of value without pointing fingers at anything in particular. My father used events from the past to express our own thoughts on the matters related to us. Follow by example, that was his advice!

It is clear to me that he loves his people and his country. He understand what is going on and does not wish a repeat of what happened in WW2 and its aftermath. His team has always been ready and willing to negotiate if only the Western troupe and clowns simply want to let go of their idea of world domination.

As a Canadian, I do not wish to see that "fiasco" and "spectacle" that occurred in out Parliament when Zelensky came to visit to ever happen again! It was an international embarrassment and deep shame. We were a laughing stock. All I could do was shake my head in discuss! The Soviet leader gained my respect when he mentioned that! He will not stoop that low to make a point! He displayed more wisdom than any leaders of the West could ever express!
For myself, it was the best interview I heard so far. Tucker needed to hear the real issues despite his impatience. Well done in my book.

I might be wrong but to me it looks like he's putting on that face on purpose, sort of as an act - I don't mean being fake, but for a purpose - meant to show he's listening with intense attention..

In the industry, there's a thing we call noddies, basically, when we shoot an interview, generally afterwards once the talent has left, we record the interviewer nodding and smiling and looking surprised, happy, sad etc .. that way we can edit in post the correct "look" from the host. This is a very common practise and may account for Tuckers "unusual" face as he knew he needed to exaggerate because it was live rather than being edited FWIW
