Tucker Carlson interviews & ideologies

I was surprised at how fast Tucker spoke at times when interjecting questions or comments, considering everything was going through an interpreter.
I wondered about that too. Perhaps he was wearing some sort of earpiece that provided a more immediate translation than we received watching the recorded interview.

I was a bit disappointed in Tucker's impatience and interruptions, but it was still a great interview. Perhaps not so groundbreaking for those here, but a great opportunity for others in the world to begin to see the truth of the situation.
 
I am guessing that was in context of China being a threat to Russia, which it is not. I also am pretty confident he would not want to live under the Chinese either. China and Russia literally need each other to counter the US. And neither the leadership or Russia or China are stupid enough to play stupid games with nuclear weapons. Say what you will about China, their leadership is quite intelligent - more engineers than the incompetent lawyers who run the United States. And historically China has not been an expansionist power.

But factually speaking, just about every government on the planet is bad. I spent years of research and travel finding the right one to move to - there are not a lot of good choices. In fact only lesser evils. China is definitely one of the bad ones. China might conduct itself well in terms of foreign policy (again, outside of the Taiwan issue), but internally they run a police state. I have actually been to Tibet. Internet access there is HIGHLY CENSORED, much more so than Beijing and Shanghai where they were quiet open (at least prior to Xi, I cannot say after that). I can assume it is the same in the Muslim regions. In Llasa they have this big square dedicated to the Chinese Government that the people there ACTIVELY AVOID they hate the government so much. The people there locally joke about the Panchen Lama is a government stooge (they had a specific epithet, but I forgot it), because basically the choice is all but determined by the CCP.

If you watch the English language version of CTV - their public television, it is striking how absolutely controlled the message is. I remember watching from Hong Kong all these people just agreeing with each other on everything - with no debates or alternative positions. Unfortunately, mainstream media in the West is becoming more like this, just without the civility of the Chinese broadcasters.

These are facts that anyone can verify by traveling there themselves. Does any objective person think that the government should be choosing religious leaders? Does anyone think they should be substantially blocking the information they have access to? How about the way they handled the lockdowns? The West restriction of freedom that we complained about was mild compared to China. And remember, did they or did they not lie to the international community early on about human transmission? Is that something a good government would do? Again these are just facts, not boogeyman stories.

If you were in a group accused of being a cult in China, what do you think would happen to you? Well we know the answer to that. Falun Dafa is a relatively benign practice that has been brutally persecuted. It is not even a political or religious movement. When I was there both 2007 and 2014, they had members prominently in the streets of Hong Kong making people aware of what was going on in the mainland - with photos on posters.

If the people of the Donbass deserve their sovereignty from the Ukraine, because they voted for it, do not the people of Taiwan deserve the same? Would not the Ukraine attacking the Donbass be effectively the same as China attacking Taiwan (which is rumored to happen this spring in April / May) just for voting for the wrong political party - one that wanted the same self determination the peoples of the Donbass wanted? One that would be more warranted since they have been self governing for over 70 years? I get the US is playing stupid games in Taiwan now (and this would not even be so much of an issue now if not for Kissinger and this whole self contradictory Taiwan policy that makes no sense). I think that is because Biden is all but owned by Xi. Look at who paid Hunter big money - the Ukranians and the Chinese. How is it in the US's best interests to make trouble there now? The only country that really has benefited from the conflict in the Ukraine and this noise over Taiwan is China. The Ukraine situation forced Russia to cut ties with the West and made them more dependent on China, and delivered cheaper gas to China. US obsession with Taiwan the last two years will give China the "cause belli" to invade Taiwan (even though it is a weak one), if they in fact do so. And with the conflict with Russia, prompted by Ukraine, and the troubles in the Middle East, China knows the US practically can't do anything about it (they probably couldn't even at full force because this is in China's backyard). Biden is fueling both of those other fires. Taiwan should not suffer because their only security umbrella is run by corrupt and stupid psychopaths.

If China does invade the peaceful country of Taiwan (which I don't think actually happens unless the West does something stupid in the Ukraine very soon - which IS highly likely given what came out of the Polish air force recently) you will have your definitive answer on the Chinese boogeyman.

You're mistaking strife created by the American deep state - designed to destabilize China - for genuine freedom movements. If you wanna keep on believing this bogeyman narrative, which is pretty much pure deep state propaganda, that's up to you. If you're interested in digging deeper, however, there's plenty of sources to look into if you wanna form a more well-rounded and evidence-based perspective.

There's the USA's role in Tibetan 'independence' (esp. the CIA funding that creep the Dalai Llama), and also what Tibetan independence originally looked like (it was a violent theocracy):



The USA's role in the Hong Kong protests, via the NED:



The Western backing of Falun Gong:


Taiwan as an American gun pointed at China's head (hint - those weapons aren't there for 'protecting Taiwanese democracy'):



This is just a trickle. You can find tons more sources on SOTT, articles and books by Matthew Ehret and Cynthia Chung, and the YouTube channels of Carl Zha, Brian Berletic, etc.
 
One further observation regarding the translator, if you watch Putin’s gestures and body language, it seems like it was edited to make the English come out in time with his speech, in some instances even preceding it. I’m sure it was synced afterwards, therefore likely the pauses for interpretation may have been removed. In essence, the interview may have in actuality been perhaps a half hour or so longer. This would account for the day passing between the conversation and the airing. So a lot of Tucker’s expressions were probably just waiting and refraining from reacting so that the end product looked cohesive. In a sense Tucker was being stage-managed to a degree, possibly even after it had concluded: give me a look of surprise, we’ll edit it in later. Just thinking out loud here.

One additional thing about the syncing of the translation. There were many words that are common to English and Russian (or different only in their subtleties: a ‘ovich here and a ‘tsky there), and in several instances the English translation is heard before you hear Putin say them.

*apologies to any Russian speakers if my “‘ovich here ‘tsky there” was offensive. It was not my intention to be rude.
 
If this interview brought home something in full force, it's that the west consists of irrational, silly and frankly moronic children.
Scanned some westernized press story reactions, which are not even worth citing - the usual trigger words and words such as Putin 'claimed,' when one would need to be completely blind to see it as a claim. All this was not unexpected, though, just predictable reaction to help keep the consumers of such news sated.

Putin (aside from historical context) walked western viewers through the stages - 2008 Nato, the Maidan, Donbass, agreements signed in pen. Not said if thinking back, were where the western viewers who in 2017-19 were introduced to Azov and all the rest. The press knew, viewers knew or should have known, and then covid did a mind wipe and by 2022 the same people were tattooing slava ukraini on their bodies and raising the flag. All the while western economies were being fleeced by their leaders. The press rolled on.

Tucker did introduce with screen shots and video of the Canadian Parliament thing with Hunka (Waffen SS); short of panning to Freeland mind you. Good for him on that. Tucker overplayed his 'why don't you call Washington' thing a bit, and throughout those questions and others, Putin just smiled, and basically and correctly said, what am i to say to them?

Putin played geopolitical chess, with the interview being a series of reading between the lines.

Was happy to see the talk.
 
I liked the final Putin dialog or punch.

"... They will be reunited. Unity is still there. Why are the Ukrainian authorities are dismantling Ukrainian Orthodox church? Because it brings together not only the territory, it brings together our souls. No one will be able to separate the souls" It looked Carlson initially shocked( looks to recover with little amusement) but went silent. Putin has to be take initiative to end it by saying "Shall we end here?". Carlson simply nodded like a boy saying "Thank you Mr. President". It looked Carlson was not expecting the closing script.

Putin is the "Boss". ❤️
That was my favourite too <3 It shows him not to be like most of the other politicians who seem to don´t think about anything which has to do with "souls" at all. Or about the needs and thoughts of the citizens. And also with his history "lesson" he gave the opportunity for people to understand the whole picture. It is understandable that the mainstream media tries to relativize this.
 
If China does invade the peaceful country of Taiwan (which I don't think actually happens unless the West does something stupid in the Ukraine very soon - which IS highly likely given what came out of the Polish air force recently) you will have your definitive answer on the Chinese boogeyman.
That's the Chinese equivalent of: "If Russia does invade the peaceful country of Ukraine, you will have your definitive answer on the Russian boogeyman" in late 2021.

I hate to break it to you, but Taiwan is China. So is Hong Kong.
 
En roue libre sur les médias ! A écouter et à partager svp. Ils annoncent qu'ils vont inonder de Fake News pour contrer l'interview de Poutine, qu'ils qualifient de scandale !!! Ces gens sont de purs psychopathes dégénérés qui n'ont AUCUN ARGUMENT !

Freewheeling on the media! Please listen and share. They are announcing that they are going to flood with Fake News to counter the Putin interview, which they are calling a scandal !!!! These people are pure degenerate psychopaths who have NO ARGUMENT!

 
If this interview brought home something in full force, it's that the west consists of irrational, silly and frankly moronic children. We are just so used to it that even the best of us, like Tucker, can fall for these ways of thinking. "Why this man so complicated talk! He hurt cause we mean to him!" The whole interview is the perfect mirror for a mentally ill civilization.

And one of the things that comes across clearly through the interview is how puzzled and confused Putin is about the actions of the moronic collective West. Given who he is and how he is, to him, the US and its allies don't even seem patriotic at all, as they continually act in ways that are clearly against their own, and their citizen's, interests. Being one of the few real adults in the room in the world's political sphere it must be really frustrating (perhaps even terrifying) to him to see these deranged children running around waving nuclear weapons against him while their diapers need changing.
 
Putin thinks we can now genetically engineer people? 😳

Woah, that was the bombshell for me. Super soldiers? Are any operating in the battlefield?

Putin looked quite personable and healthy to me. He even laughed / smiled in places during the interview.

Russia isn't backing down so essentially if we end up in a human extinction nuclear war is down to how far the West wants to take it. I think that was the bottom line.
 
I wondered about that too. Perhaps he was wearing some sort of earpiece that provided a more immediate translation than we received watching the recorded interview.

I was a bit disappointed in Tucker's impatience and interruptions, but it was still a great interview. Perhaps not so groundbreaking for those here, but a great opportunity for others in the world to begin to see the truth of the situation.

I listened to the interview on Spotify and during the introduction to the interview Tucker said:
One note before you watch, at the beginning of the interview we asked the most obvious question, which was- why did you do this? Did you feel a threat, physical threat and that's your justification, and the answer we got shocked us. Putin went on for a very long time, probably half an hour about the history of Russia going back to the 8th century and honestly, we thought this was a filibustering technique and found it annoying and interrupted him several times and he responded that he was annoyed by the interruption.

But we concluded in the end for what it's worth that it was not a filibustering technique
, there was no time limit on the interview, we ended it after more than two hours. Instead, what you're about to see seemed to us sincere, whether you agree with it or not Vladimir Putin believes that Russia has a historic claim to parts of Western Ukraine.

So our opinion would be to view it in that light, as a sincere expression of what he thinks.
So that explains the impatience and interruptions you noted.

See imathatis' links on this. In order to understand Tibet, I think you need the historical context.

As it so happens, I also was in Tibet, and lived in China for one year. I came away with a complete different view from yours. The locals were not hostile towards the Han, and they were perfectly bilingual, and able to preserve their culture. That is not something that happens everywhere, where ethnic minorities are just "disappeared", their languages banned, etc. At first I thought "this is horrible, internet censure", etc. But the more I understood the culture and their background, the more it made sense. Is it ideal? No. But I definitely don't think that what the West says about it is accurate, FWIW.


These are facts that anyone can verify by traveling there themselves. Does any objective person think that the government should be choosing religious leaders? Does anyone think they should be substantially blocking the information they have access to? How about the way they handled the lockdowns? The West restriction of freedom that we complained about was mild compared to China. And remember, did they or did they not lie to the international community early on about human transmission? Is that something a good government would do? Again these are just facts, not boogeyman stories.

But the Chinese government is straightforward about its goals quite often, and it is more honest to its people, whether you like and understand their tactics or not. The West just lies and brainwashes people with paramoralisms, while selling them the BS that they live in a democracy. You can't apply Western standards to understand China, I think.

If you were in a group accused of being a cult in China, what do you think would happen to you? Well we know the answer to that. Falun Dafa is a relatively benign practice that has been brutally persecuted. It is not even a political or religious movement. When I was there both 2007 and 2014, they had members prominently in the streets of Hong Kong making people aware of what was going on in the mainland - with photos on posters.

I met two members of the Falun Gong when in China. They were Westerners, and I could tell even without knowing much about them that it had nothing to do with the movement, but with having been told to hate and badmouth the Chinese government.

Again, see trails for funding and who may be behind it.

Same with the Uygur issue.

Does repression happen? No doubt! But again, look at the society from the inside, and at the outside threat that is always trying to meddle with other countries. It's not so easy to separate them.

If China does invade the peaceful country of Taiwan (which I don't think actually happens unless the West does something stupid in the Ukraine very soon - which IS highly likely given what came out of the Polish air force recently) you will have your definitive answer on the Chinese boogeyman.

Again, look at America's meddling there. These are the same "people".

Just to be clear, I'm not saying that the Chinese government is great or impeccable. Just that if you want to understand it, it's best if you first pay attention to those who threaten it. Maybe that is one of the reasons why China and Russia get along? Both are "giants" geographically speaking, and have focused on national unity and defending from outside threats. Some may see that as repression, others as the best they can do in such vast territories to prevent Western powers from interfering.
