The "friendship" finished when in 1941 the Germans invaded the part of Poland occupied by the Russians, betraying the pact between them. Officially, in Russia History books (and this is not a joke) the WW II started in 1941, the year they started fighting Germany. You can see that in WWII Russian monuments, the dates are 1941-1945, instead of 1939-1945. Again, this is real, I'm not joking.

Actually closer to 50% of the avarage weekly income. Did you notice how empty that store looked compared to your local Walmart? I doubt that many Moscovites are there buying white bread & sugary cereals. They need more bang for their ruble when it comes to nutrition. A traditional diet is more cost effective from that POV. Rye bread, sliced meats, cheese, & fresh/pickled produce are better buys for someone earning only 250 rubles/wk.

[@nesconcen3427]

listen to Tucker's interview with Putin, the part shown on the show is from 13:23-13:40, listen from 11:30 to around 16:30; firstly Putin isn't saying WW2 is Polands fault that Poland forced Hitler to "rightfully" attack them; as is implied. But means, with Hitler wanting to use the danzig coridoor, and Poland refusing, Hitlers agenda would make him attack. It's not his opinion Hitler had the right to do so, it is the analysis of why Hitler attacked. It is what happened in history not that he agrees with what happened. Taken out of context. And also Tucker saying "of course"; he means "of course (Poland refused.)" this would have been obvious, but once the whole clip is shown out of context ; as if Putin was giving his opinion that it was Polands fault, when he was giving the historical context ,and once you decieved people of that, Tucker saying of course that moment looks like Tucker said of course to (so called) Putins opinion. Deliberately out of context. This is a mess. One thing that always gives away propaganda is that, it starts to get too black and white- Nothing to make sense of the other persons point of view. Poland forced Hitler to rightfully attack them; As Stewart put it "What do you do with something like that?" Literally. It doesn't really make sense someone said that, does it?

[@revan22]

Same with Putin's reaction. He said right afterwards the part they cut out that Carlson not being sharp was what made him dangerous as a journalist, because he knew exactly what he was doing and didn't fell for a head on confrontation. They just edited everything to make it look bad.

[@hamster4618]

Interesting way to perceive what was said. I only heard a long winding story by Putin justifying Hitlers attack on Poland, while omitting Russias role in it, with the express intent to justify his invasion in Ukraine. It seemed to me he was telling us that Poland is next on the menu.

[@jediisawesome]

loved that he went shopping in a french supermarket that was nationalized after war started.

"I was paid to watch it, Ari, and not paid enough" Oh bring her back! She needs to be a regular from now on!

[@kurtrauch2920]

It's weird that all these other news outlets have such strong opinions on what should've happened on the interview, yet none of them seem to be interested in doing their own interview.

[@bodil2382]

It's not like they haven't asked. Putin does not want critical interviews.

[@JeffSmith-fu9hu]

@bodil2382 how do you know that they’ve asked? Just like too many others, you say THINGS you couldn’t possibly KNOW.

[@trysometruth]

There's a bit of a difference between interviewing a Russian dictator who's trying to absorb a sovereign country into Russia, and glowing propaganda: oooh look how nice their subways are! oooo shopping carts and store elevators!!! oooo look at _this!_ look at _that!_

[@keithmiddleton7576]

Is there any comparison between the number and frequency of the members of Trumps Presidential Team that he fired or left whilst in Office compared to President Biden’s tenure.

[@no-lifenoah7861]

Make sure to include the amount of people who were arrested as well

[@jasperkoota265]

And standing up for what is right.

[@_TheShowStopper]

John S. & John O. are both funny AF!😏🫡

[@chas4life]

SO Glad you featured John Stewart because he absolutely raked carlson. Excellent breakdown on why the GOP does the SuckUp.

[@df7263]

I dont have my own brain I need msnbc to give me their opinions

[@user-ws1qf7ol4k]

The Tucker Carlson type journalists are not about politics at all. They are about themselves! Narcissists. Very well explained in this show.

[@melaniecortez1423]

😂😂😂😂that interview was horrid my head hurt so bad after watching that 2 hour interview

[@squiddy2688]

In that interview Tucker looked terrified.

[@stephenmanning7376]

Maybe there could be a crime for publicly promoting a country or government that has been officially declared rogue. Free speech should have obligations as well as its freedom.

[@debracarter5576]

That would go for Ukraine also. The most corrupt country that's nothing but a money laundering machine. Not to mention that our weapons that we've sent them are showing up at our borders.

[@clydefrosch]

It's the least he deserves. He shouldn't be allowed to come back.

[@joannejohnson7006]

Thank you Ari

[@HighFlyActionGuy]

This was such a reasonable and thorough explanation.

[@bewitched3912]

I can never unsee that bow tie 😅

[@mikeschwarz4203]

With everything going on we don’t need TC adding chaos.

[@aprildunn3146]

Tucker's grocery store trip reminded me of videos I've seen about tourists going to North Korea. You only see what they want you to see. They have the same well stocked stores just for show that no one can afford to shop in. One guy actually went in to buy something and the employee said he couldn't because it was for display only. He pointed to several items and the answer was the same each time. At least they let Tucker buy stuff. It might have been cheap to him, but he isn't thinking about a Russian salary. Sometimes in winter people have to chose between heat or food. In the country people use old fashioned wood stoves to keep warm. He should have interviewed some Russian families about how far their money goes, or researched some very well put together KZbin channels made by people trying to help the poor and starving in the country, especially the elderly who live in rural areas, literally forgotten. There is so much he could have done with this and he turned it into a parody. He failed miserably.

[@nick_cornew]

He's saying "of course" they refused not "of course" Hitler asked amicably

[@TheDerpp]

my favorite part is Tuckers intro when he says hes interviewing the dictator because hes a journalist, when in court his own team of lawyers said that no reasonable person considers Tuckers segments on TV to be news

[@jasperkoota265]

Thank you Senate Republicans for doing your job

[@plnkfloydian7814]

It’s wild people have such strong reactions to alternative view points.

[@kw4931]

Most disappointing thing is dude misquoting Michael Scott

[@reverendnate2735]

That guy has never watched an episode of The Office in his entire life.

[@timwolters1969]

You all made my day, I'm so over Tucker

[@bigpapi2658]

When the media goes all out to vilify, make someone toxic or look dumb, well that shows how dumb they know YOU are 😂😂😂

[@katharina6865]

Exactly!!!!

[@wickandde]

I live in New Zealand and Australia and we have had staircases that lock grocery carts since before I was born, what is going on in America or does Tucker need to get out more? 😂

[@user-pu6nq8zs4c]

Man made us look crazy For Putin to say he didn't even respect his ability crazy right?

[@user-kd9qh3wf6u]

Barbara Walter's showed how it is done.

[@aleisaetheridge8682]

Oh God Bless Jon Stewart ,he need him in this insane time in the US ,all the scary stuff .

[@ramirezrm]

Not since Jane Fonda laughed with glee while sitting on the anti-aircraft cannon, has an American betrayed the rights of humankind.

[@davefredsberg7854]

Sooooo true

[@lonton_soup]

What are we even talking about people this is just embarrassing

[@aimee-lynndonovan6077]

The economic system in Russia is hellish!!!😩😩😩😩please pray for those citizens, they are suffering. Well, I enjoyed the Tucker interview. Nuvalny forever!

[@sebas2k]

"They oversaw murder, the state assassination of a dissident, they just invaded a country...." Yes please tell all that to Snowden, Manning, Assange and the people of Iraq and Afghanistan.

[@MelindaMc]

Isn't that treason?

[@sid7804]

Jon Stewart came back at the time we needed him.
