  1. I am really thankful to Carlson for letting Putin speak. Rurik from 882 could eventually emerge as the important reason why 400,000 Russians have just died.

  2. Tuck knows his place is to be seen and not heard when daddy Putin is speaking

  3. The really sad thing is that this is what Russian children are supposed to learn in “history” classes…

  4. It’s non an interview. It’s a monologue of the russian Hitler, while you see Tuckers grimaces from time to time.

  5. >Putin, in rambling interview, barely lets Tucker Carlson get a word in

    Because this is not an interview. It was planned and scripted this way.

  6. These historic claims are a form of poison. Who cares about the medieval states 1200 years ago? Ukraine as a nation emerged since then, nowadays they are a distinct ethnic group and as the war clearly shows they do not want to be part of Russia.

  7. Haven’t gone through on the whole “interview” yet, but let me guess. From Tucker’s side:
    – not a word mentioned about huge civilian casulties in Ukraine
    – not a word about abduction of children
    – not even calling the war as is but “conflict”

    The long, one-sided history lesson, presenting it constantly with psycho face, and interrupting it with his own laughs was Putin’s only, and natural option to get through this.

    Honestly, I didn’t expect it, and he delivered it well. He is truly the biggest threat to current civilization. Similarly dangerous than his direct role model Hitler, I’d say, because now Putin has advanced, high speed disinformation propaganda in his hands.

    Thanks to Tucker for reminding us to this, because apparently too many people underestimate this threat.

  8. it’s actually very showing that putin started justification of his war from explanation of what happened in 882, it’s insane but here we are

  9. For two guys who are openly anti-LGBTQ+ it was great to see them engage in fellatio for the cameras. A real leap forward for same sex relationships

  10. In the whole interview Tucker just does his weird face expressions, akward laughing and lets Putin give a “history” lesson for half an hour. Putin was clearly prepared for most of his questions, it would be nice if Tucker would ask more challenging questions, but he is an ex Fox News “journalist” afterall.

  11. Putin, in rambling interview full of disinformation, historical revisionism, and lies, barely lets blah blah blah.

  12. He didn’t think enough of Tucker to get out the big table!

  13. the 30 minute lore dump in the beginning aside the interview was pretty interesting. When Putin talks about multipolarity, geopolitics and trade he makes a fair amount of sense tbh. The denazification rambling and everything Ukraine related and history deep dives are very strange and not sure what audience that is supposed to appeal to in Western media or even at home.

    I had to laugh though when he randomly hit [Tucker with his CIA biography](https://youtu.be/fOCWBhuDdDo?t=2754). That’s such a prototypical Putin move.

  14. Putin’s spin on Kyiv Rus’ history feels like Romania claiming descent from the Roman Empire—except, perhaps, the Romanians might have a more legitimate claim.

  15. Hard question: what’s worse? More words of Tucker or more words of Putin?

    Tucker gets a glass of water, Putin a nice white coffee holder nicked from the Kremlin giftshop.

  16. Interesting that Putin lets him get that close to him. He knows Tucker is an ally and has nothing to worry about.

  17. Regarding the History of Russia and Ukraine, there’s a whole course of lectures from prof. Timothy Snyder at Yale on YouTube. Yalecourses. There’s like 20hrs of lectures on the topic. Reading is also an option.

  18. I doubt anyone commenting here has actually watched the interview, it’s longer than 15 seconds

  19. Don‘t call this an interview. Pure propaganda.
    Sanction Carlson and block his entry into the EU.
    We can‘t speak for America, but WE have to fight against this tool if nobody else does.

  20. Imagine a round table discussion with Trump, Putin, Biden plus a couple of old men from Afghanistan and Iran plus Kim and Xi. Chuck in Assad and some Israeli ultra orthodox leaders and a couple of Hamas types together with a few African ‘big men’ etc.

  21. they see and justify this war from some primitive historical point of view. that’s all you need to know about it. don’t try to find any other logic. oh, add “the right of the strong” because when you talk to the russians who support this war, they often mention it.

  22. One could almost say this interview was a good thing. People need to see that hes a fucking lunatic. And so are his western supporters

  23. Poo Tin interview shortly: I’m trying to pardon myself in anything, we are stronk, westerns please dun help Ukraine, or i will cry

  24. Didn’t want or need to see this lapdog getting sphincter massaged

  25. Neither of them has anything sane to offer. A waste of oxygen squared.

  26. > He **did not** ask a single question about Russia’s attacks on civilian areas or critical infrastructure in Ukraine, which have killed thousands. There was **no mention** of the war crime allegations facing the Russian leader or the forced deportation of Ukrainian children. **Absent too** were questions on Russia’s sweeping political crackdowns on Putin’s critics or the long jail sentences meted out to ordinary Russians staging antiwar protests.

    This is the level of Twitter “journalists”

  27. R U T H E N I A =/= R U S S I A

    Different country, different culture, different language (Ruthenian), different capital (Kyiv)

  28. It wasn’t an interview. It was one liar telling another liar what to lie about.

  29. I think it’s a quite effective interview.
    Tucker asks some relatively pointed questions no Russian journalist would ever ask.

    Putin looks like a rambling lunatic down the pub who gives you a monologue after 4 beers. But instead of being some pedantic fool he’s a the leader of a nuclear powered state with a million man army.

    He looks like a rambling senile autocrat.

  30. This wasn’t an interview and Tucker Carlson isn’t an interviewer.

    This was a propaganda flick full of irrelevanices, outright lies and half truths and thus Tucker Carlson is a propagandist and a peddler in lies.

  31. It went better than expected. Tucker barely get any “west bad”-propaganda and looked really confused all the time and putin,instead of acting like a sexy based dictator, acted like a shizo- from 4chan. I would have mocked this attempts into propaganda *if only Biden didn’t decide for some reason to act like senile grandpa with dementia few hours later seriously why wtf was that*

  32. What is disturbing is how mostly Americans are sipping Putin’s words and falling for his manipulations.

    However, I don’t have high hopes that the Europeans are smarter in this regard.

  33. Putin used a dumb American right-wing propaganda pundit as a puff piece for himself? No way! Who would’ve thought?!

  34. There are so many literally insane claims in the first 10 minutes that go by unquestioned, this is pretty much a speech with Tucker Carlson’s stupid fucking face nodding along for no reason.
