First of all, two splinters of thought after first viewing Tucker Carlson's interview with Vladimir Putin:
  1. The rifts that have opened up seem to me to be so deep between the different spheres of power that it will probably take a whole generation and a geopolitical thaw to fill in these rifts. It is all very reminiscent of the Cold War. But there clearly is no intention of an attack on other countries as the Mainstream is penetrating. The Neocons and their friends in the UK will have to choose a different level of provocation.
  2. We will have to get used to the fact that there really will be a multipolar world order, which the Chinese, Russians and their allies are working on at full speed. It was not least the expropriation of the Russian National Bank in the course of the Ukraine affair that increased this pressure even further and made everyone involved aware of the necessity of building an alternate settlement system. The end of the Petrodollar will redefine the principles of global trade and the USA will lose the opportunity to recycle Dollars in the world - a big deal if You have the debt spiral in mind.
  3. What will happen to us Europeans? The changing spheres of power bring the central aspect of economics into focus: who controls the collateral of trade. It is really all about collateral, the rest is deduction of it. Fiat money and government bonds based on it are being replaced by gold and energy equivalents in the BRIC countries. The age of commodities is dawning and Russia is the No. 1 producer of raw materials! All that remains for the Eurozone Europeans is a desperate attempt to keep their ''partners'' at the emptying negotiating table. But their lever, the ''net zero policy'', is losing credibility and traction as more and more people see through the naive scam.
The lesson: morality and climate apocalypse are neither economic collateral nor do they serve as a stable settlement layer of a complex economy. A storm is brewing. And it is not a russian attack on european countries as far as I understood Putin.
PS: The meltdown of the mainstream press is all too delicious. Popcorn time!

But there clearly is no intention of an attack on other countries as the Mainstream is penetrating.
Because Putin said so? Putin and other Russia officialls also said they will never attack Ukraine, before attacking Ukraine. In interview Putin especially mentioned two countries he is not interested attacking - Poland and Latvia. So likely they are next targets. Btw, about Latvia he wasn't even asked about. And if you listen to Russian mainstream media, in talk shows they for some time openly talk about attacking Poland and Baltics (check out this YouTube channel - Russian Media Monitor).

There are several reasons why this won't happen:
  1. Putin has the control over the extreme right in his country so far
  2. the Russian leadership is nowhere near as aggressive and stupid as certain other states that are destroying their own country in permanent interventions.
  3. Putin has never pointed out that it is about Russian geopolitical interests outside the Russian-held areas of Ukraine.
4 the primary concern in the Donbass is to secure coal and gas reserves. this has always been the strategic background to all the conflicts in the region
  1. the persistent penetration by the propaganda media that Russia has an interest in invading other European states already makes the argument suspect
  2. Russia could never hold a military position in a European state
reply
You are assuming that Putin isn't liar and is acting rationally from Western point of view, both of which are false.
reply
i look at the world from the greatest possible distance. i am not a party to any war as a free individual. all these state representatives are liars. or do you seriously believe that the numerous wars that people like George Bush Bill Clinton or Barack Obama have started or even this completely stupid current president in any way justify millions of civilian collateral damage?
reply
Not all state representatives and politicians are equally evil. Russia is and has always been more evil than average country. Even under democrat Yeltsin they started and participated in multiple wars (Abkhazia 1992, Transnistria 1992, Chechenia 1994).
reply
Good and evil are not categories in which I judge politics. we do not live in a binary world! that is too simple - things are much more complex and Russia has been deliberately constructed by the western media as the realm of evil. it is the ever-popular foreign policy enemy that the British and neocons from America use to activate their partners in Germany, France and other countries. Russia is the most resource-rich country in the world - that is its problem and its strength
reply
Russia has been deliberately constructed by the western media as the realm of evil
They have been realm of evil since foundation of Muscovy in 13th century. All their history have always been conquering and killing.
reply
okay, if that's the category: then what about the Germans? or the Spanish and Portuguese who conquered half the world? or the Romans as the ancestors of the Italians? Are Italians then also all the bad things in the world? or what about the Americans who were not exactly friendly towards the Indians? or the Japanese at the time of the Chinese war? that is sheer nonsense. And the Brits???
Ok, so not watched it, but read a few reviews, but it changes nothing. So, the main actors get to play geo-political games using the Eurasian Continent as a chessboard whilst Ukraine has become the modern version of the Spanish Civil War, complete with atrocities by both sides and a truly terrible death toll that the 'press' censor, whilst simultaneously flooding our screens with death and destruction elsewhere across the world... And the warmongers across Nato and Russia slaver at the chance of re-establishing the killing fields of WW1&2 across Europe. ... If you think I'm wrong, you go to any place, however small, and find the local war memorial. Look at the names. Entire families lost. Even in the smallest places... And you can repeat that across the Continent, and elsewhere around the world. As for Russia, they lost millions of ordinary Russians in WW2, a fact now conveniently forgotten... Bitcoiners, regardless of nationality and personal politics, need to stay neutral and opt out of this because there is evil on both sides. ... Sorry for ranting but...We cannot allow another entire generation of young people to be wiped out for a third time in modern history because of Europe's history and politics... Not calling for protest which is ignored anyway (and frankly, if you protest you might as well just give your name and address to your local security services given modern surveillance!), just saying in everyday conversation, it's time to stand up and be counted, in a calm and measured way, and call for peace, rather than war, and encourage others to opt out of the madness...

it is not easy for the majority to remain neutral and insist on peace in the face of the unbelievable war propaganda, especially in the Western media

What leads you to conclude this?
reply
There are several reasons for this:
  1. the Russian leadership is nowhere near as aggressive and stupid as certain other states that are destroying their own country in permanent interventions.
  2. Putin has never pointed out that it is about Russian geopolitical interests outside the Russian-held areas of Ukraine.

When Hilary Clinton made those remarks, then i was sure not to miss this interview..
reply
and the best thing is: last night they put Joe Biden in a press conference for the first time in months. what a disaster, this man is seriously ill. what i still don't quite understand is why they are humiliating this man in this way and whoever follows now. he's finished

It's bizarre how some people say they prefer a man with dementia than a Republican. Reddit is having a field day because this interview.

reply
Putin did give his jab to Tucker about him trying to join the CIA.
reply
I really enjoyed Tucker's look of stunned bewilderment as Vladmir traced the story back to 9th Century Russia.
But lols aside, it does speak to the different mindset each side approaches the issue from. For the West, this started in 2022, maybe 2014 if we're nuanced, and maaaybe 1991 if we're being charitable. For Russia, it's more like "Well you see this whole trouble began with Batu Khan's invasion 800 years ago..."
reply
yes that's the point and it's becoming more and more obvious that it was the strategy of the western media makers to completely overplay the Russian background and keep people away from looking deeper into the topic. that's why i think Putin tried to do exactly that: to present this historical background in detail even if it was a bit lengthy
reply
One of my biggest takeaways is Putin hinting that the cia is running the show, and all western leaders, directly or indirectly, are their puppets. Anyway, It was interesting to hear the other side.

At ~ :17 Putin lays his watch on the table At ~ 9:11 He brings out documents from the archives
