So I watched the Tucker Putin interview and these are my thought, what's yours?
I was sort of disappointed that there was no new information, pretty much everything discussed we already knew about (at least here on this board). But I don't really have a perspective on this in terms of normie people. They have been bombarded with propaganda from US and NATO since day 1.
I almost think he should have split the interview into 2 pieces; Putin went off on a tangent right away with a history lesson of Russia and Ukraine which came off as pretty boring, and I think a lot of newcomers would have lost interest right then and there. Most of it I already knew, and what I didn't already know was certainly interesting, but I think most people would have lost interest pretty quickly.
I was disappointed that they did not even touch on US bio-labs and human trafficking. But I guess I can understand why. They did touch on Nordstream, and who did it, but overall I think the interview was pretty tame. Anything that could be even remotely construed as controversial I think came from Tucker, like "Do you think Zelensky is even allowed to try and negotiate?"
One thing that seemed clear was that US leaders are "not in control". They did touch on possible negotiations between Russia and the US that seemed possible, but then unelected bureaucrats from US agencies put the brakes on that. That was certainly interesting. But other than that, all pretty tame. What do you think?
We know a lot more than normies. This interview laid out a lot of things. 1) Putin thinks the potato is not in charge. 2) He wants peace. 3) He hasn't spoken to the potato at all. 4) Ukraine is more Russian than anything else. 5) NATO is a threat that they take seriously. 6) He loves his country and knows it's history. 7) He thinks the CIA blew up Nordstream. 8) The US sanctions are a joke. 9) Boris Johnson wanted the war and dismissed peace with Russia. 10) We were allies in WWII. 11) Nazis still exist and they are not Trump. 12) He got along with Trump and they could make a deal. I thought it was a good interview, IMHO.
Excellent summation - much better than mine!
