Genie Posted February 7 Share Posted February 7 This should be interesting Quote Former Fox News host, Tucker Carlson, says he will "soon" interview Russian President Vladimir Putin in Moscow. In a video posted on X, formerly Twitter, Carlson said he wanted to do the interview because "Americans have a right to know all they can about a war they are implicated in". It would be Mr Putin's first one-on-one interview with a Western journalist since he launched his full-scale invasion of Ukraine in February 2022. The Kremlin has not yet commented. The 54-year-old's visit to Moscow has been reported on voraciously in Russian state media, with near-constant coverage of his every move. link Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even the wrong ones. I think an interview with Stalin or Hitler would be a great historical piece. But this is just going to be a propaganda BS hour of nothing. It is literally James Franco in "The Interview". What a funny world we live in. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh for sure. It will be framed that Biden is a warmonger and The US should pull out to save their buddies in Russia from the evils of Ukraine. Trump will be the man to save the day. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chindie Posted February 7 VT Supporter Share Posted February 7 (edited) Carlson has migrated from right wing mental word removed into flirting with Alex Jones style truly evil elites and demonic aliens (as in literally aliens who are psychic demons from Satan) talking points since being binned by Fox, so don't be shocked if he starts praising Putin as the second coming of Jesus and sucking his toes during the interview.

Genie Posted February 8 Share Posted February 8 If it wasn’t so serious it would be funny Quote Russia's election commission has rejected anti-war challenger Boris Nadezhdin as a candidate in next month's presidential vote. Mr Nadezhdin has been relatively critical of Vladimir Putin's full-scale war in Ukraine and few dissenting voices have been tolerated in Russia. He had tried to challenge claims by the election commission that more than 15% of the signatures he submitted with his application were flawed. But the commission rejected his bid. Refusing to give up, Mr Nadezhdin said on social media that he would challenge the decision in Russia's Supreme Court. "I collected more than 200,000 signatures across Russia. We conducted the collection openly and honestly." The Central Election Commission said that more than 9,000 signatures submitted by Mr Nadezhdin were invalid. That left 95,587 names, meaning he was just short of the 100,000 required signatures to register as a candidate, commission member Andrei Shutov said. Russia's presidential election is due to take place from 15-17 March, although the result is not in doubt as only candidates approved by the Kremlin are running. link Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain_Townsend Posted February 8 Share Posted February 8 Tucker is probably more useful to Putin as a stupid, partisan, Trump loving Democrat hater than he would be if he was a genuine fully paid up double agent. If he was on the pay, he would be far more subtle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mic09 Posted February 9 Share Posted February 9 Anyone listen to the interview yet? I am 30 mins in (it's available on Spotify so easy to listen to on the move). So far it's a history essay from Putin. I would give the essay a C- at the 6th form level. Lot's of info, much irrelevant, much missed out, it's a speech to pro-Putin Russians more than anything. But then, what did we expect. Let's see what the other 90 mins are like! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

magnkarl Posted February 9 Share Posted February 9 (edited) I just love Putin's arguments. Ukraine is a false state. What about Kaliningrad and Karelia Putin? Or anything East of the Volga and south of the Don. It's like he chooses which time his arguments work and totally neglects the times after the times where newly acquired territory suddenly is 100% Russian. No one can use Putin's arguments against him, because he says so! Nursery-argumentation. Tucker might as well have just given Putin the mic and left the room, he didn't even ask one question that wasn't licking Putin's boots. Jesus.
