Historical Participants, The Carlson-Putin interview, a little over 2 hours, is here, and was watched over 60 million times in the first 6 hours or so. https://tuckercarlson.com/the-vladimir-putin-interview/ Carlson, sitting in the Kremlin, then in his hotel room, reflects on the interview for 9 minutes here:
Five years ago I wouldn't have been caught watching Tucker Carlson. Not so any more. He is one of our great interviewers now. Brave, smart, aware, passionate. Fearless. Risk taker extraordinaire.
I'm a paid up premier Tucker subscriber and I get to watch him sit out back in the Kremlin back 40 and cogitate. We watched him, nearly real time, process the 30 minute unscheduled detour into 1200 years of Russian history as a prelude. Who saw that one coming?
How refreshing!
The poor souls who are thankful to Politico for watching the conversation so they wouldn't have to can remain certain in their beliefs and be untouched by doubt, criticism, all the other uncomfortable challenges of trying to be a teensy weensy critical thinker.
I don't know what I paid for my Tucker subscription, but it was paid for in the past day. The rest of the year is freebie.
Read what Tim Kirby ( an American in Russia) had to say about Tucker on Telegram today. " The Russians love him". Even before the interview he has thousands of Russian subscribers. Look for that number to go up.
And foreigners love that, make no mistake. It applies to Trump too, though you'd never know it from the English language media. It's a Mark Twain thing: fresh, blunt, down to earth and with humour.
I watched the Tucker Carslon interview with Vladimir Putin, with a break for dinner. Then reading the news this morning I was disgusted and angered by the coverage and judgment of the US “news”. They are determined to make Putin and Russia the bad guys, when that is not my interpretation of the interview. Are the MSM trying to provoke war?
ps, Thanks for the link to Tucker's afterthoughts on X.

Thanks Sam. Tucker asked questions like an American.
I think he is not just smarter than that, but smart enough to play that particular role consistently.

Tucker seems "so American", but he's relatively nice, and has an expressive face.
"Tucker asked questions like an American. "
Spot on Dr. D :-))

MSM calls everything good is bad . And everything bad is good.
" Woe to them that saith..."
Interesting to learn about Wang.
Oh how the democrat globalist criminals of all institutions have failed a free thinking human
That Wang article was amazing
Thanks, Mate! I thought it paired very well with Putin's history lesson.
I had read it the day before, but decided to save it, which seems like the right decision.
Concerning "dishi: “Emperor’s Teacher.”, the single most outstanding example in the West is Aristotle, teacher of Alexander the Great..
Kissinger? Talleyrand? puh-lease!!
You are such a Dishi-Snob, Eleni, you "mean Greek".
;-)
Thank you reante for this link.
We can remember that the State Department immediately post-war warned Truman of exactly these consequences. And so it came to pass :-(
It is hard for me to disagree with the conclusion you state, Reante. I have not read the piece yet.
I very much enjoyed observing Putin's style of restraint and understatement, as well as the history lessons.
