Tucker Interview with Only American Reporter Embedded with Russian Troops
Posted on 4/28/25 at 2:08 pm

To inform myself, I appreciate being able to hear all sides. Patrick Lancaster's wife is from eastern Ukraine.
From the comments, it sounds as if many people have really appreciated his frontline reporting since the fighting started in 2014.
Among the many things he claims are that:
1) The vast majority of Crimeans wanted Crimea to rejoin Russia in 2014
2) Most people in the occupied areas of Ukraine want separation from the rest of Ukraine
3) Western assistance was the only thing to have stopped Russian advances.
Is he accurate about conditions in Eastern Ukraine? Watch the first few minutes and see what you think.

Lancaster talks about the fighting in Eastern Ukraine starting in 2014 as being a civil war. Can't attest to its accuracy, but others liked this comment:

Tucker has essentially become a useful idiot for Putin at this point

This is key. He really does report from the front. The "active front" and actually talks to the people that live there, as best he can with his limited Russian speaking skills.
Not like the MSN, that either pretend they are under fire, or report from the safety of some studio, like those 2 clowns Charlie D'Agata, (CBS) and Clarissa Ward, (CNN).

Tucker's latest show should be a doozy.

Think about all the enormous stories that seemed inconceivable, even utterly ridiculous, until they wound up being true.
A government operation dedicated to spying on American citizens? That could never happen. Then the Edward Snowden leaks hit the press.
The establishment forcing the country to take a drug that doesn’t actually work, eventually realizing its ineffectiveness, but never apologizing? Our leaders wouldn’t do that. Then COVID hit.
Even something seemingly small, like selling oil from America’s Strategic Petroleum Reserve to China during an energy crisis. That’s far too absurd to be real, right? Wrong. Joe Biden did just that.

Today’s Tucker Carlson Show presents another story that could wind up joining that list. According to guest Catherine Austin Fitts, world leaders have built a secret and sophisticated network of underground bases to prepare for an extinction-level event. We’re not joking. Click the image below to watch and learn details on that, the secret plans of central banking, global money laundering, and more.

From the Lancaster Family - The Story of an American Reporter Who Settled in the DNR, Was a Friend of Givi, and Uses Morgue Bodies for Fake News
LINK /
A month later, as the war raged, Lancaster reportedly found himself trailing a Russian soldier through the burnt-out remains of a Mariupol school that had allegedly been used as a base for Ukraine’s military. In the basement, Lancaster’s footage showed the body of a local woman who the Russian soldiers claimed had been raped by members of the Ukrainian military and had a swastika painted in blood on her chest. “It was a base of the National Guard and presumably the fighters of the Azov Battalion,” a Russian soldier told Lancaster on his YouTube channel. But the explosion on the Russian border turned out to be a fake, concocted by the Kremlin as a way to justify its imminent invasion. And evidence suggests that the soldiers who painted the swastika on the woman’s body were from Russia.
It was no surprise that Lancaster, a former Navy intelligence officer from St. Louis, was the one sharing these stories. Over the last eight years, he has embedded himself with pro-Russian separatist forces in Donbas, spread pro-Kremlin disinformation about the downing of Malaysian Airlines flight MH17, worked with numerous Kremlin-backed Tv stations, and most recently appeared on Alex Jones’ Infowars spreading pro-Kremlin narratives about the war.

A small network of pro-Kremlin content creators have seen their audiences grow dramatically in recent months while spreading disinformation about the war in Ukraine, evading social media platforms’ efforts to curb Russian propaganda and paving a path to Western audiences, according to research published Wednesday.
The creators are self-described “independent journalists” whose reports are often made from Russian-occupied areas of Ukraine and amplify Kremlin talking points and downplay or deny reported Russian atrocities. Researchers say the on-the-ground reports — which come in English, French, German and other languages — have proved effective at circumnavigating commitments from European governments and U.S.-based social media platforms to stop the spread of Russian propaganda.

People, this is how one should post a long video. Don’t post an hour long video and tell us to watch.
Post the video and then some key points if you want us to know what’s in it.
Nicely done OP.

What we’ve all known all along, NATO and Ukraine STARTED this conflict. Putin just reacted.
Posted on 4/28/25 at 3:10 pm to dnm3305
NATO did not start the conflict nor did Ukraine anymore than Poland started World War 2 by being invaded or America did by being attacked at Pearl Harbor.

Decatur, you have written some intelligent things on other topics. I want to understand you on the fairness of reporting about Ukraine/Russia.
Did you believe intitial MSM and Ukrainian reports that Putin had blown up Nord Stream?

Thanks. I really do appreciate hearing what others think about a topic.
Maybe they know more about the issue. Maybe they're better at analyzing this kind of topic.

Would not be surprised if he is not one of these -

Ann Foley, a part-time real estate agent, lived a middle-class, all-American lifestyle with her husband, Don, and their two sons, in Cambridge, Mass., home of many of America’s most prestigious universities and think tanks.
But the likeable, friendly couple had a very secret life.
Ann was, in fact, Elena Vavilova, a deep-cover spy trained by the secret Russian intelligence agency, the notorious KGB. Don, her seemingly pleasant husband, was actually Andrei Bezrukov, also a KGB agent. In June 2010, the couple, both illegals in the US, was arrested by the FBI.
In New York City, meanwhile, Anna Chapman also worked in real estate, but lived a far different lifestyle than Ann Foley. Voluptuous and flame-haired, Chapman had a reputation for flirting with her potential property clients — the Big Apple’s men of power and wealth.
But the two women, Foley and Chapman, did have one commonality.
Chapman, too, was a secret Russian agent here to spy on America. In 2010, she was arrested with nine other Russian spies, with authorities breaking up one of the largest intelligence networks in the US since the end of the Cold War.

I don’t recall jumping to a conclusion when it first happened. I think the Ukrainians did it based on subsequent reporting. The claims from Hersh and others that the U.S. bombed it was utter nonsense.

Russia tried to take kyiv at the start and couldnt sustain the supply lines long before western support got there.
That bits likely true for the war after that initial few weeks

You might be right, but I don't get that sense. Of course, excellent propaganda wouldn't be easy to spot.
On the surface, there has been a drastic change re American policy on Ukraine from Biden to Trump. Do you think the CIA "has changed" to reflect that?

So you use VICE, NBC "News" and Zaborona which is an independent Ukrainian media outlet to rebuke Lancaster's reporting?
Believe what you want.

Thanks for the answer. I doubt the impartiality of anyone who bought the "Putin blew up his own pipeline" story.
What do you think Tucker would gain from being a Kremlin stooge? Do you think he's literally been bought off?
