First off, great interview by Tucker. I was on the edge of my seat from beginning to end. Mr. Putin exuded such authority and charisma. He looks very healthy and is very intelligent.
Think of how tough you have to be if you're this man. On USAs hate list for decades. On many other countries hate lists from the West. Call him a president, I call him a king. He's King over the Caucus Mountains, therefore he's King of the White People.
I don't wanna schmooze him too much or I get some sort of unwanted contact from 3 letter agencies but the man is impressive. An all time GOAT Alpha male.

I have to finish this today. Started watching too late and was so tired I couldn’t pay as close attention as I wanted.
I probably got a good 45 minutes in and here is my initial impression. Of course I am not stupid and realize that Putin is wise enough to show the face he wants us to see… BUT - he just doesn’t seem like the typical American politician! He really didn’t sound like he was pandering at all. I think one thing is for certain - the man LOVES his country.
I LOVE the USA. But I have a genuine true love and that means I am willing to look at the failures and even evil acts that the USA has committed. Unless I misheard him, Putin admitted that Stalin had some human rights violations (lol) and I guarantee you 99% of Americans wouldn’t ever expect him to say that.
I grew up in the 70’s and 80’s and the “Cold War” was ever present. We were taught that Russians were absolute barbaric monsters at the top and brainwashed dirt poor lower class that was stripped of every human right. Forced to do work that the state chose rather than their own decision. In one of my businesses I had a sales rep that I got to know very well. She was a beautiful woman that I thought was from the Boston area. I was talking with her and her husband one time and joked that she was pretty enough to fit right in down here and he must have gotten the prettiest girl in the north east. The chick had a legit north east USA accent.
It blew my mind when she said she was raised in Russia (USSR) and after university there she came to America to get masters / PhD. She knew zero English until university and had come to the USA only knowing enough to get by. She also spoke German, Spanish, and one of the Chinese (can’t remember which). At the time she was studying Farsi / Arabic - this was mid 90’s and she could see the coming value.
The thing is that she told me that they were taught the same thing about us as us about them. She was very scared coming here.
We need to WAKE THE FCK up in America!!! It’s no unpatriotic to fckn recognize our faults and shortcomings! It’s unpatriotic NOT to!! The USA was not built on division but we allow the slimy little twinkle toed cock suckers in DC to put left vs right - black vs white - lgbtfsdqrp vs straight - etc etc.. it’s ignorant and weak to allow this. Many of us on here are guilty of “wishing the OTHER’s were dead”… come on that’s like a fckn child talks. “I hate you I wish you would die!!” But those men are not bad men, they are victims of the CONSTANT onslaught of BS. We all have prejudices - it’s human nature. But so is being a smart ass - being a prick when you don’t feel well. It doesn’t mean it’s a good thing. We can recognize and work to improve ourselves.
Many Americans go through life like Hanky or the Dj dude (gdmn I’m sorry for that reference, but it fits). Too insecure to self reflect. Can’t make a GENUINE self deprecating joke or comment. Deluding themselves into believing “WE are right”. Religions do it. We have an innate need to be on the “right side”. Again - it’s human. But it ain’t good.
I could rant more, but I KNOW I’m a fckn moron. My opinions are 100% open to change. Not in a flip flop with the tide way, but hopefully when I can read or hear enough and have some time to let my monkey brain discern from it.
It seems that Russia / Putin was lied to over and over regarding encroachment by NATO. And if I was a skeptical man I might even think was being intentionally provoked. Is it that much of a stretch to think that maybe the military industrial complex would like to make trillions by sending hundreds of thousands of young impressionable men on both sides to their death? Does anyone REALLY believe those mthrfckrs give a damn about the flag draped coffins? Fck no they don’t!!!
