You really should pack your bags and gtfo. You are needed on the front lines

Downvote if you are still supporting Ukranian Nazis in here

If Ukraine falls, you can bet Russia will lick its wounds and go after someone else in a few years. Then what? We let that country fall? It’s literally appeasement.

Only those countries who were historically under Russian rule...

Want to know why countries use propaganda? Because it works. This is just bullet points of Kremlin talking points.

Exactly! Just like Hitler. Putin will make a new reason for invading another country. It’s so funny he says he’s fighting nazis but he’s the real nazi, all he needs is the stupid Hitler mustache.

There's a faction on the left and right who long for a man on a horse to come and fix everything-and just as important, punish those they don't like. Putin fits that bill for the faction on the right, and a few hard core leninists on the left.

I just read this entire thread.

I’m now convinced we should send all of our money, weapons, military personnel, and technology to the Ukrainian Nazis in order to defeat another Nazi who wants to denazify part of his country.

Who are the fools?

The ones who invaded?

The ones who resist?

The volunteers? The draftees?

Best I recall we haven't sent anyone over there to fight. It's the Ukrainians fighting and dying for their country.

If your country got invaded, would you fight?

Was it supposed to be a debate with Tucker or an interview with Putin?

Not trying to be disparaging but have you listened to the full 2:07 interview?

Ultimately he just gave Putin a platform to say what he wanted to say. I don't have any real issue with that because I think if you are sane you don't drill down on Putin in Russia. Best case he just talks around your question like he did the 5 or so actual questions Tucker ask and worst case you never make it back out of Russian airspace.

The thing that I learn about everyone that says it was a great interview is they haven't followed the war. Everything that Putin said today (with one exception*) is something he has said before in speeches to Russia. For example the first 35 or so minutes was a near exact copy of the history lesson he gave the Russians shortly after the war began and almost the entire remainder was bits and pieces from other speeches. People that have followed this thread have heard all of this before from his mouth and reiterated from the various talking heads on Russian State TV like Solovyov, Skabeeva, and Simonyan.

*the one new area of discussion centered around the possible release of Evan Gershkovich which Putin wasn't budging on.



I am not jumping on Carlson for this given the circumstances but he did not do a journalistic interview, he merely platformed Putin. I have no problem with people hearing him even though they could have heard everything a year ago if they bothered. When the interviewer talks 4-5 minutes and the interviewee talks for over 2 hours it really isn't hard-hitting journalism and I defy anyone to argue that. I am also not saying Zelensky hasn't been handled with kid gloves by the Western Press but he has been forced to speak to a lot more painful issues than Putin was in the multitude of interviews/speeches he has been allowed.
