Already pretty funny that the US guy is baffled by a country with over 200 years of history, that someone would know or even care about such history and that it's being told at all. :doge_laugh:
As someone whose IRL friends tell has a tendency to go back a lot to put context on a story, this looks great already. In fact, I hope Putin never actually addresses the war in Ukraine and just talks about the history of Russia for two hours. :0580:
Holy crap, Putin knows AND told Tucker how Poland was attacking Germans, causing Hitler to start the war. Is this enough for a "shut it down"? :shutitdown:
And it's only been 15 minutes. :0060: What do they talk about for the other hour and 45 minutes?
@ChristiJunior@Rasterman@EdBoatConnoisseur Poland is nowhere near Vegeta level though. At best they're Krillin tier. If they didn't fend off the Muslims way back when they'd probably be Yamcha tier.
@Rasterman@EdBoatConnoisseur Poland is the Shonen Rival who desperately wants a rematch against the guy who humiliated him 200 episodes ago no matter the cost to himself and others. Yes, despite almost surely losing such a rematch.
It's not rational, but I of all people should be able to relate :vegeta_buusaga:
Then I started to notice Polish bloodlust against Russia. A literally genocidal rhetoric. Hearing these explanations from Putin makes me think maybe Poles actually DO know it was the jews who oppressed them during the USSR; but just don't care, as they really just hate Russians.
Then again, he does make a good case for the things Poland has done over the centuries and how that shaped today's conflicts. I wonder what the Poles have to say about that.
He's now mentioning the collapse of the USSR, Russia's hope of getting integrated into the West, the betrayal of NATO, the bombing of Serbia, &c. It all makes sense.
Meanwhile NAFO gaylords were adamant that people should not watch the interview to "hear Putin's lies". Then again, they think geopolitics are like a Marvel movie.
Anti-Usonian sentiment growing. Not quite at the level of when I celebrated 9/11, but Putin's propaganda is working on me. :0010: Damn Putler!
He's now talking about how Western Ukraine has parts inhabited by Hungarians... I think the man is making a case for returning to the old borders. Which would also mean Ukraine ceases to exist as an independent country. :thinking:
Whoa! Putin asked Clinton if Russia could join NATO. Bill said "yes", but later that day he said no after the kike puppeteers found out. Russia wanted to join NATO even after all the betrayal. Putler tried! 🤯
Tucker: "Why did they say no? You're clearly bitter about it. Understandable..."
Putin: "You said I was bitter. It's not bitterness. It's just a statement of fact".
The interview is too masculine for Tucker's journo jargon. For a moment I thought Putler was gonna bitchslap him for that remark.
Two times Putin spoke with a US president about Russia cooperating with the West as friends, and two times the president later changed his mind after his advisors told him to. It's like he's talking about the deep state, and Tucker hints at that without naming it.
Putin seems like he was baffled by the way US politicians behaved, where he'd talk to them, leader to leader, but they didn't seem to be really running things.
Putin: "What kind of people are these? Who are they?"
@spiral_power I'm seeing that. Though I understand why he chose that angle of attack. If he invokes nazis, no one can tell him no. Those are the rules of globohomo.
The one flaw is that he takes the approach of defending Russian lives from nazis. Defending any kind of White lives won't fly with jews. :pepe_newspaper:
@spiral_power@Rasterman Tucker is one of the smartest journalists in America, which says way more about how retarded American journos are than anything else. Could you imagine Don Lemon trying to interview Putin?
