Tucker Carlson interviews & ideologies

RT's editor in chief said according to her numbers, so far there have been over a billion views.
Yeah, plus I would not be surprised if the numbers were messed with using all sorts of algorithms or simply hiding them.

They seem to have a very sensitive program running to prevent that interview from being seen, it just happened to us in the Spanish SOTT radio while it was live. So perhaps there's Tucker's own team making sure no one uses the material unfairly, which is understandable and within their rights, but I think YouTube is using that to push for some extra censorship.

Not to deviate too much from the conversation, but I do think it's interesting that this happened and is happening as it is. It reminded me of the C's once mentioning that the PTB had a success rate of about 40% (if I am not mistaken) in all their machinations, I think this interview happening, and it garnering so much interest from everywhere, was a great display of exactly that lack of success.

Also, on Tucker's YouTube video, there's a comment that says: "Next I would like to see US president Biden being interviewed by Russians for 2hrs."

If you have some time, and are bored, and would like to read a lot of funny comments, do yourself a favor and read through the replies lol, you won't regret it.
 
Yup, the contrast is starking, competence matters and this was a in-your-face reminder of that. There is a longing for competence, for formidable characters and ways of thinking, oriented towards the truth, that have been missing across the board in the West. And in some way this has forced us to incarnate those values, because none else would.

In the West this should envigorate us, motivate us. The responsibility that has been rejected by our leaders should then be taken by us individually and collectively, this is the lesson of these difficult years IMHO.
 
Maybe, the goal Putin had was to leave Tucker and his audience with the following idea at least: "there's a lot more going on than you know." and that in the West is progress.

Well, hopefully it added many questions to western minds.

One thing Putin alluded to when Tucker kept at him on talking to western leaders (go ask them, was Putin's response), is that people who follow these things, anyone in the diplomatic core, know that in most case, despite the headlines and politicians words, there is a constant behind the scenes backchanneling happening. A Lavrov does not go unspoken to, nor do others in the diplomatic core on both sides (both sides includes other countries). What they talk about mostly will never be know unless a leak has been decided upon to gain advantage or reel in some potential. The military is the same, backchannels, although in this case it must be certainly strange - the NATO coalition et al. and they would need to coordinate at the diplomatic level, and besides, they probably don't always do this. Intelligence follows a different path, although they may make contact, yet may just as easily keep their own side in the dark. No doubt, all is highly untrustworthy these days, full of trip wires.

Basically, though, they will never divulge what is being said, which Putin basically told Tucker. Statecraft 101. In that respect, the upfront political western face is just saber rattling for the masses, and this is where the masses might get an unscripted peek at reality, and that is always a good thing. At some levels, a hypothesis only, is that the whole meeting may have had insider western sponsors that we might never know for reasons that things have gone way too far. Thus, I don't begrudge Tucker for doing it, even if he got some of it wrong and he was not really in control against Putin anyway. Tucker will learn and many of his viewers will learn with him. What he does with it all (what he is allowed to do with it) going forward, remains to be seen.
 
Amusing 'fact-check' of Putin's knowledge of Russian-Ukrainian history from the BBC.

Characterizing Putin's history lesson as 'rambling', it itself proceeds to ramble through 'the inaccuracies' and is unconvincing. Even the expert it cited says at one point: "In a sense, he [Putin] is correct...", followed by: "If Ukraine is a fake country, then so is Russia." :lol:

I'm reminded of the rabidly anti-Putin Russian media outlet meduza[dot]io 'fact-checking' Putin's claim (in his long essay about Ukraine's history on the eve of the SMO) that Lenin (briefly) collaborated with the US government to partition Russia. When I read that myself, I thought "nonsense!"

Well, meduza found it to be... TRUE!


Putin isn't just a good historian. He is Collingwood's 'man of history', one who can go deep into history to find solutions to apparently insoluble current problems. Privy to archives both published and as-yet-secret, he knows MORE than 'the experts' about his region's history.
 
Strange as it is to say, I think there's also such a thing as 'good guys' in the CIA. Larry Johnson and Ray McGovern come to mind.
I think there are good guys keeping under the radar in a lot of powerful institutions etc. Doing what they can in the meantime but biding their time too for the right moments. As once they are 'outed' all their good works, and time invested, cannot continue.
If we remember, Caesar had to do the same. He had to get the openings, and the respect/kudos, in order to get into the best position to do the most 'good' for humanity.
I have just come home from an in-depth discussion with my avocat here. Truly aware thankfully, a rare breed. I told him he was heaven sent as it is very isolating, but I was grateful that my dad had signposted me to him.
Unfortunately he felt very sad and angry/frustrated that he could not change the status quo, as ever there are too many interested parties to keep it as corrupt as it is everywhere. (Choose your country).
However, he did say that my grasp on the situation, including politically, on who is who and why, was 'spot on'.
A total kindergarten of corrupted, dumb, imbeciles of power hungry, greedy puppets.

So we persevere with our case files, but do we see justice, fairness, and transparency? (Again, choose a country near you) :-(
 

LIVE: Tucker Carlson on US & Russia Relationship | World Government Summit, Dubai | Ukrain | IN18L​


Apparently this is "live" from a Dubai summit, and so you cant go back and forward. Just listen from where it starts you, and we can go back later when its complete. Ive listened to 10 minutes or so, and its pretty good. God, Religion, World leaders, Media conjoined with government tyranny and other things are discussed. He is being applauded, by those gathered in Dubai.


 
I have started the above video of Tucker in Dubai many times, and always I'm started somewhere different. And noticing there is no beginning and no ending and it appears that issues Iv seen discussed earlier are now missing. So, if anyone can find (later today) the whole thing please post it, and i will do the same.
 
LIVE: Tucker Carlson on US & Russia Relationship | World Government Summit, Dubai | Ukrain | IN18L
It is from a Forum which runs from the 12-14th of February. Tucker's timeslot only allows for 20 minutes and like you, Adobe, I have problems with seeing it from the beginning. What I have seen, approx. 10 minutes is interesting though the interviewer is not the sharpest knife in the drawer and sees things black and white. The interviewer wanted Tucker to have asked Putin about Navalny, about media repression in Russia etc. and also has the belief that it was Russia which just invaded Ukraine in 2022. So if the interviewer watched the interview, which it appears, then he didn't understand what Putin said.
When one sees this interviewer, then one is happy that it was Tucker who did the interview and not this guy.

Klaus Schwab also talked at the Forum in the morning and WEF is one of a number of strategic partners of this forum. The whole list is here.

I noticed that is seems to have no end also, as while I was watching it, I thought, hey, he already said this! :-D So it must have started over again without being obvious.
 

the conversation lasts about 53 minutes, and it is possible to include automatic subtitles for those who have difficulty following English.
Thank you Kika. If it is 53 minutes long, then it appears as if they extended it, which is likely due to the attention the interview got worldwide. There is a camera shot at the audience and it appears well attended.
Here is a screenshot of the original programming:

Good one! I think probably his visit to Russia was an eye-opener for him. The only thing I didn't like was at the every end, where Tucker says that he's never heard a single leader say they don't have an answer to a question, that they simply don't know something (paraphrasing). Except that, just the other day, Putin DID say that twice or three times, if I remember correctly!
 
The last 5 minutes was extra good, and the audience broke into applause a couple of times. Those statements should grow some legs and walk:-)

A leader of a county is like a father to his children and how he/it can become illegitimate through immorality.

Two kinds of people: those that believe in God, and those that think that they are God.

As a jab I think to "someone" who spoke before him that day, he states "if you think you can create a better human being through technology then you are very dangerous, and you will get a lot of people killed."

The last 5 minutes starts at 49:30
