I bet you get IRATE when we have "innocent" professors, students, reporters, businessmen, athletes, and the like get arrested in foreign countries on "trumped up" charges. As if the shitheads in DC don't have legions of spies in every country on this planet.

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.


Ukraine was treating the Russia speakers in the eastern part of Ukraine like shite for years before Russia invaded.

Do you mean this as an insult? I already respected Tucker, but, as an American whose country was spending billions on what SEEMED to be a conflict that didn't involve our national security interests, I was really eager to hear the first thorough interview with Putin.

I was glad that CBS interviewed the Russian Foreign Affairs minister recently. Americans are grown ups who pay the bills and send children to fight America's conflicts. We deserve to hear directly from countries that are allegedly our enemies.

Everybody that doesn’t hold to the narrative is “agent of Putin”.

Why are you spreading Russian propaganda?


I'm trying to determine if it IS Russian propaganda. Listening to the interview it didn't SEEM like Russian propaganda.

From the responses here, I am not convinced that it is. In a free society, shouldn't we be allowed to hear opposing viewpoints?

I'd rather NONE of our media report on this or cover it in any kind of editorial or opinion manner.

Our media had turned an eastern European conflict into a team sport in America, and it is all bad for us.

So a reporter embedded with Russian grunts is promoting Russian talking points?



Are any of those things not true? For instance, do you think that Ukraine could have stopped Russian advances without Western help?

Tucker overtook Rogan last year on spotify. He's got something approaching 20M followers on combined platforms, and is pocketing 3x to 4x what he was at FNC. How do you define "relevant" .... fool!

Thanks for that view. The "team sport" portion is exactly why George Washington warned against foreign entanglements. They lead to distracting and dishonest divisions in domestic politics.

As far as media coverage though, I disagree with you. From the beginning, I don't think "our" government has been honest about the facts on the ground in Ukraine and what the cost/benefit analysis to America would be for our support of Ukraine.

There's no difference between the Dem establishments objective and the reporting of most mass media.

I'm not sure what the answer is, but Tucker coming from the other side isn't helping.

Maybe the FCC should just cut CNN's feed for a day every time they put some bullshite story out.

I thought Patrick was English? I could be wrong but his reporting is war correspondent type shite from the 20th century.

I think that was the lesson from the Vietnam War. Don't allow independent, front line reporting. As a child, I remember EVERY program, Cronkite's evening news would have casualty reports for the day by flag; American, South Vietnamese, North Vietnamese, and Viet Cong.

It might not be good for business to publicize that every night. After a while, people are bound to ask: "Now WHY are these soldiers dying every day?"

Patrick came damn close to getting droned about a month ago. All on video the drone coming right at him while riding in the bed of a pickup and the last sec the drone hits an overhead wire. He was very visibly shaken. This guy has been in the trenches shot at, droned, artillery rounds nearby etc. I'm surprised he is not dead.

He has the "honor" of being on the Ukrainian kill list, like many others that included Gonzala Lira, who was tortured to death in captivity.

Tucker is a Russian asset at this point. Somebody needs to look I to his family and make sure they weren't inserted here by the KGB a few generations ago.

...and yet, I think he still provides more useful informational to Americans than CNN and MSNBC combined.

Without ANY of Tucker's coverage of the Russian perspective, I think that a majority of Americans would still think what I do: America should end its involvement in the war today.

What's the NEXT billion dollars going to ccomplish that the previous dollars have not?

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

As opposed to the majority MSM who are essentially useful idiots for the elite globalists. My whole life all I heard was Russia bad, US government good. And I believed it until they made the “mistake” of Covid. I call it a mistake because they didn’t cover it up good enough. If our government is capable of using our tax dollars secretly to create a virus, expose it to the people on this planet, and then try to gain wealth from it by forcing a vaccine on us that killed many by itself, then I don’t think we can any longer point our fingers at Russia and call them the “bad guys”. I’m sure Putin is no angel, but he can’t be any worse than the demon possessed self indulgent assholes we have representing this once great nation. I’m not going to pick a side between Russia/Ukraine. I’m for peace. Both governments are killing their people and it needs to stop.
