Still behind Germany, United Kingdom France and Italy isn't that great - especially that behind Italy part has to burn. Numbers look even worse per capita. Though maybe he's got diffrent numbers? There is a small point here that Russia didn't suffer as much as expected and especially Germany is looking at quite the recession.

[@carlossaraiva8213]

Even that is incorrect as Germany, UK and France - AT LEAST - out pacing russia in economy, with other metrics even showing such countries as Italy, Holand and Spain ahead of russia in the most important economic factors.

[@carlossaraiva8213]

​@@STzim russia is suffering BEYOND what it claims - russia cooks the books - while Germany always has plans for recessions, in factvriding it out is part of the plan as in economy often the path of least resistance can bring better results. Recessions are an inevitability of capitalism and often comes as a plate cleance for the accumukation of economic malpractices caused by neoliberalism. Things only get worse if the neoliberals try to keep everything as it was, basically trying to fit a square in a circle.

The Scythe of Quakes, the Nunchucks of Lightning, the Shurikens of Ice and the Sword of Fire. Weapons so powerful, no one can handle all of their power at once!

A battle between brothers broke out, and the oldest was struck down and banished to the Underworld. Peace returned, and the younger brother hid the weapons, but knowing his older brother's relentless ambition for power, he placed a guardian to protect them.

[@GarrulousHerald]

That's the problem with going up to an egotistical totalitarian maniac and telling him "YOU SUCK, YOU'RE EVIL... Wait why aren't you granting my requests for an interview?" Like so many journalists and politicians are too invested in virtue signaling instead of reporting or diplomacy. Sometimes you need to bite your tongue in order to get to the bottom of things. You can't just run in like a screaming banshee and expect to get the same results as someone who tries to be a bit more tactful. (It certainly doesn't help that journalists that are tactful are attacked and labeled as being traitors because they don't start an argument mid-interview and get kicked out for unruly behavior as a sign of protest... Or maybe it's to eliminate and discredit competition?) Reminds me of one short I saw about an overweight computer guy talking about "we already have a journalist in Russia!" (And he goes into how he's imprisoned, not at all why he was.) Really, we already have a journalist? (A WSJ hired one nonetheless.) ONE journalist? And we can only have one journalist per country? Come on man, that's cope. I don't care if Tucker wants to suck Putin's toes. I want to hear the lies Putin has to say. I don't want some dressed up personality telling me that "it's too dangerous for you to hear, it might corrupt your mind and turn you alt-right!!!" I think they're afraid of people creating their independent thoughts and narratives. Even if it already aligns with their narrative, they don't like the precedent it sets. Could spell disaster in the long run. Especially since it incentivizes people to look at other news sources because the mainstream ones already blew their shot. Being careless and pandery.

[@GarrulousHerald]

Some credit? He actually went up there like a journalist and interviewed Putin. He didn't intentionally antagonize Putin as a form of virtuous protest so that the opinionated people know who to side with and what news sources to "trust" as a circlejerk. Because midwits hate having to think up their own thoughts. Because the mainstream is in the business of propagandizing, there is an actual demand for real unfiltered news. Tucker saw that demand, and whatever his biases may be, took advantage of it. And I will have to say, I'm loving this return to more "traditional" journalism.

[@baneofbanes]

@@RaptorJesusand yet it was the Germans who took the most advantage of that time to rearm, allowing for their initial victories. The British and French on appear had better armies but were unwilling to use them when they could’ve landed a devastating blow against the Germans in 1939 or even earlier. Instead the British ended up skiing much if their gear and France and had to rebuild in sort through lend lease.

[@SC0RCH3er]

​@@RaptorJesus I´ve heard this cope a thousand times and it is simply not true. Chamberlain was not preparing for war, he wanted to avoid it, I don´t blame him, I am sure most of British public wanted as well, but he was just too naive to trust a word from a dictator. Giving a potential enemy up to 3 milion new subjects and criple an ally that would have taken the first strike, not to mention industrial capacity for war and weapons stocks that Germans will invavitably take over when they decide to roll into what was left of CS is something you don´t do if you want to "re-arm" faster than your enemy. Wehrmacht in 38 was a lot weaker than in 39, so was Hitler political position. And to blame France for this is simply not fair when it was mainly Chamberlain who was super pro-active in this regard. I have no problem if you defend his character as someone who just wanted to avoid WW1 scenario but don´t make his biggest L into some 200 IQ chess move, watch his arrival into Britain with the piece of paper signed by Hitler and tell me if he looks like somebody who "sacrificed something to buy time". Please just stop this narative, even if you are British, this does not make UK look better, it makes it look worse.

[@JABN97]

Let’s be honest. If France, Britain and Poland together has said a firm NO at München, as well as asked counties like Yugoslavia, Romania Bulgaria etc to back them up? Then Hitler likely would have backed down from that coalition, or been soundly beaten. But, in Britain and France did not have the public supper, and the others would not act alone

Redacted in the US announced Israelistan 🇺🇲 has ordered ZZelinsky to replace its entire government with western educated people who are LOYAL TO AMERICA this accounts for General Zalhuznyi a UkroNazi his replacement more acceptable to RUSSIA and the WEST. 6, The ploy to take Ukraine and the southern ports failed tbey thought they could fill it with war ships and block Russia's warm water ports. 7, The west thought creating a UkroNazi state yes there is film of an American Nazi explaining how the CIA used US Nazis to create AZOV Shitstain 🇬🇧 created right sector 1 and 2 using UK Nazis other groups KRAKEN etc exist they were handed territories where they ruled like medieval Barons. The war to collapse Russia failed Europe and Israelistan are bled dry of weapons cash and raw materials they hoped to steal via the total collapse of Ukraine and Russia have evaporated theyre broke. And now Africa has cut them off by stopping the looting of resources paying pennies on the dollar. China has stepped in providing massive infrastructure development at low cost instead of the IMF giving loans for mining etc where they set the price they pay. Israelistan or Firestone had a 100 year contract from 1926 where they paid Niger 6 cents per acre for 4 million acres 2,4 million per year. Ukraine is not a democracy all political parties are banned some leaders jailed. There is no free press reporters comply or face execution in the streets. Pablo Lira a US journalist was recently tortured there eventually dieing with no aid from Israelistan. Ukraine has committed thousands of war crines Germany led a commission to investigate Russian war crimes they got 300 all against the Ukraine Military. They have cut up the bodies of wounded UKR and Russian soldiers to sell the parts to Europe run by a female doctor from the Netherlands. They have fired on their own wounded trying to surrender ON FILM in fact the film of UKRONAZIS execution and torture of Russian soldiers was done on the orders of ZZelinsky himself. He also passed an order that anyone refusing to fight can be executed on the spot there is plenty of UKR film of that happening Poland complained when their Mercs were executed for refusing a suicide mission. The only question left given the desperate situation of the population who are being grabbed off the streets and sent to the front is how long before they take out ZZelinsky his own troops are already threatening him.

They try to be argumentative on camera or antagonize, because virtue signalling. Your news can't simply report on something, it needs to have opinions and biases to ensure it has the same opinions as you, therefore you can listen to it. Or else you might... Change your opinion!!! Ooooh scary!! Without strictly defined biases, midwits get scared and panicky about what to think. Because they aren't used to formulating their own thoughts. This interview lets Putin speak to the west, with very few slants put on it. That's why Tucker is labeled a traitor or vatnik. Because simply not screaming how wrong someone you may personally not like is, or refusing to enter petty arguments for publicity... Or not narrating on exactly what to think, because it's not strictly anti-Putin... It's seen as pro-Putin. Not with us, you're against us. That type of thinking. They think that any exposure to any neutral material is biased towards the material getting a platform. Because if you weren't biased towards it you wouldn't give it a platform. Of course, that actually means you are biased against it, but they play with definitions and wordplay a lot. So Tucker isn't being stereotypically defiant in protest and flashing himself to Putin to insult him... He's actually fishing for information. And any information that isn't specifically filtered by the mainstream is evil. And because Tucker isn't insufferable, Putin is lulled into a sense of openness. And we get valuable information we could have gotten decades ago. Even though Putin lies, either intentionally or indoctrinated by his own biases, this is still essential to experience.

Also doesn't sound very Prussian. They were more like "Potential is irrelevant - what counts is Actions". (i.e.: "Put up or shut up")

[@stevesargent8731]

It's a paraphrase but otherwise correct. It was a common theme with Bismarck that the external perceptions of your country are guided by its potential to undertake warfare, actual or economic. The section from the interview is: "The West is afraid of a strong China more than it fears a strong Russia because Russia has 150 million people, and China has a 1.5 billion population, and its economy is growing by leaps and bounds -- over five percent a year, it used to be even more. But that's enough for China. As Bismark once put it, potentials are most important." When questioned over his "Blood and Iron" speech, Bismarcks response was : "The importance of a state is measured by the number of soldiers it can put into the field of battle" Bismarcks speech to the Reichstag in 1888 again emphasizes dictating the attitudes of others (most importantly the French) through the increased potential of a unified Germany: "We must, to put it briefly, be as strong in these times as we can possibly be, and we can be stronger than any other nation of equal numbers in the world...if we do not need our full armed strength, we need not summon it. ... By nature we are rather tending away, the one from the other. But the Franco-Russian press within which we are squeezed compels us to hold together, and by pressure our cohesive force is greatly increased. ... But we must respond to the intentions of providence by making ourselves so strong that the pikes can do nothing but encourage us." All of this is about unifying Germany to increase its potential.

It demonstrates the complete lack of curiosity on the right; more obsessed with vacuous culture wars than real working policies.

[@TrokgornyBall]

Honestly, I looked at how Russian historians reacted to the interview with Putin and Carlson and learned a lot of interesting facts. 1. Putin said that the southern lands of Rus' (Ukraine) themselves began to move away from the general culture of Rus'. In fact, they were captured by Lithuania, and Ukrainian culture began to take shape even before the Mongol invasion. 2. Putin said that Ukraine promised to be a neutral country and not enter into any alliances. In fact, there is nothing of the kind in the act of declaring the independence of Ukraine, and Ukraine, like Russia, could freely form or join existing military or economic blocs. 3. Putin said that the Russian leadership initiated the collapse of the Soviet Union, only Putin himself at that time was part of this same Russian leadership and, in fact, Putin blamed himself for the collapse of the Soviet Union. Idiot. 4. Putin actually admitted his defeat in the war, but he is not going to give up the conquered territories, and therefore Putin is waiting for the West to make concessions, that is, to begin negotiations on the Korean scenario. As a citizen of the Russian Federation, I am very angry with our president and, unfortunately, I have no other options for influencing the authorities than to ask to invade my country, but this means the third world war. If anyone believes that the upcoming elections in Russia will be fair and transparent, then you are naive. I'm tired of living in a country where the head of state uses power as a means of his own entertainment, and not for the benefit of the country's population. I remember Putin once said: *Why do we need a world where there will be no Russia?* I also want to say something: *Why do we need a Russia ruled by Putin?*

[@StrawHat83]

The right hand isn't talking to the left. Russian propaganda has two flavors - one for Russians and one for the West. The messaging is very different between RT exported to the West and the internal news programs in Russia. The problem for Putin in this interview is that both audiences would watch. So Tucker softballed questions to coax answers that would satisfy pro-Rus Westerners. But Putin couldn't give those answers because they contradicted what he told Russians. It was a glorious lose-lose. I now use reaction videos to this interview as a litmus test for who is smart enough to recognize what happened. I've unsubscribed from half a dozen channels that I was concerned were vailed pro-Rus or slowly changed positions from the beginning of the war. I'm happy to see I can stay subscribed here. Thanks for all the excellent work you do.

[@PerfectDeath4]

Having watched the whole interview (I recommend putting the video on 1.5x or higher speed) the historical revisionism is kinda hilarious, the later half is Putin basically dodging the responsibility of declaring war on Ukraine by saying everyone else didn't play ball, therefore it is all these other country's fault. Putin does a lot of lying by omission, which btw is what Tucker rants endlessly about in his usual claims about how we're all being lied to. So, Putin omitted a lot of history that would make his position look bad and I mean a LOT is omitted. Even the thing about Poland "starting WW2" omits things like German demands (they didn't just want Danzig, Germany expected Poland to say no as well), also about how the USSR simultaneously invaded Poland by agreement with Germany. Anyway, Putin is running a pokerface strategy where his hand is crap and thus he has to bluff everything. All of his interview is about showing that he is in a strong and legitimate position, which being a bluff, means he is in a weak and illegitimate position.

As a history geek, then I cant wrap my head around the idea that Poland forced Hilter to invade and start WW2. If that was the case, then what where the false flag operation "Gleiwitz Incident" even for? Im sure Hilter would had other reasons to justify for war against Poland if Poland forced Hilter to invade. And I also like how the discount Hilter saying that WW2 started on the extact date, like it was planned all along. It started on that date because Hilter invaded Poland, and UK and France at the time said stop. The war could in all honesty had started earlier or later then 1st of September. And on the topic of WW2. I dont know if Putin said it during that interview, but I know he claimed before that USSR won WW2 all alone. Which isnt true. USA especially and UK helped to supply USSR with the Lend Lease, and USSR had been on the backbone if it wasnt for the supply of war equipment and vehicles. Also, to point out, it was also USSR leaders at the time that whined that the allied should open up an other front in Europe, which the allied already had planed with Operation Overlord. That is why the Italian front got so messy, because there wasnt time to prepare fully and it was rushed to pressure the germans.

Similar to how most of us love metal or rap music, but we don't play it out loud when family is visiting, or at work. Same for shitting with the bathroom door open; we all do it, but not when family is over, and not at work.

I, personally, was very offended by the obscenity! Having to be exposed to both Putin and Carlson's ASS GRAVY this early in the day is intolerable!

They're premise is that the RF is the legal successor of the USSR. By the same principal, the RF shouldn't have a permanent seat on the UN security council (which is in and of itself hilarious)

Russia also blamed Georgia for bombing Tskinavli (It's own people for no reason), de facto "South Ossetia" This guy beats Zelensky 10 times as a comedian.

Before i watch this.. I watched about 5 minutes of the interview. I just happened to catch the part where he blamed Poland. I laughed/cried and switched it off. I can't even.

[@ironfreddy3192]

He didn't "blame Poland". He explained what was happening, although that topic requires hours of conversation. Poland made mistakes regarding their relationship with Germany prior to WW2, there is simply no denying that. Their refusal to cede territory that they took from Germany after WW1, where mostly Germans lived was also a mistake. They had no reason to hold on to those lands and risk war. They overestimated their allies and underestimated Germany.

The scary thing is that I work in a factory here in the US and I have a number of co-workers that are Trump supporters/Tucker Carlson fans. They are all above the age of 40 and they all "do their own research". What do they know about Russia, Ukraine or WWII? Not much. What did they think of this interview? It was "thought-provoking". They still think Putin is a genius and Tucker Carlson is a journalist trying to save the US, by revealing the truth. I'm seriously terrified for my co-workers and the future of our country.

[@RealAfricanPatriot]

Its always commendable when people do their own research. Its always concerning when it turns out that that research is a bunch of youtube videos or tiktoks :(((

[@M30W3R]

This is not even the first time Putin blamed Poland for everything. Look up TIK's video about it for a breakdown. But in the context of the interview, he's referring to the post WWI wars in Eastern Europe during the breakup of the Austro-Hungarian Empire and the complete political mess that ended up favoring the National Socialists in Germany being directly or indirectly tied to Polish action/inaction. Obviously the entire thing is making a mountain out of a molehill, but you gotta take into account that it's not trying to dissuade you from a Western POV, but rather reinforcing Putin's and, in a roundabout way, Russia's entire geopolitical history and the reason why they have to frame stuff the way they do (Supposed Denazification of a country led by a Jewish president, for instance).
