You can decide for yourself whether or not there's any useful information in the interview.

Personally, I've always thought it's a good idea to know as much as you can about any avowed adversary -- even if what he reveals is a lot of deceptive 'spin', designed to create FUD (fear, uncertainty, and doubt), and, a favorable, 'reasonable' impression of himself.

I've been keenly interested in Vladimir Putin for over 20 years and I've read quite a lot about him. Without creating a long, wearisome 'opinion-piece' about Putin, I'll just say that whether you hate him, fear him, or love him, Putin is not (NOT) someone we should underestimate! Whether he's an 'evil genius', or just a fairly ordinary one, he seems to have more sheer mentality than all four of our 21st-century American presidents put together....

 

I agree with that.
The ability to manage adversarial relationships effectively requires knowledge of those involved. It also requires a civil condition, where discussion can take place. Being polite to an adversary is not a surrender or a sigh of weakness- it's wise strategy.

 

Carlson flew 12 hours to talk football with one of the worst dictators on the planet.

Nothing about Putin's political assassinations.

Nothing about the millions of displaced civilians +150,000 dead in Ukraine.

But Putin doesn't like gays and Biden.... so he's a friend of Tucker's.

 

Well, the first answer

"Our message is Russia is not your enemy. We don’t want war. We’re ready for peace. Your leaders seek conflict. This is not what we want. Russia stands for its own people. We do not want what is not ours."

already is full of B$. If HE (not Russia) wanted peace, he'd never have invaded Ukraine.

Of course, Putin knows his US audience, he knows what Tucker's RW viewership wants to hear, and that's what he is giving them. No surprise there. An AI bot trained on US RW media talking points would have come up with very similar answers to Tucker's softball questions.

 

Of course Putin is putting on his facade. Unfortunately, a lot of the people here do exactly the same thing. If you are a savvy person you recognize that.
And if you are a savvy person, you don't turn it into a pissing match, you learn what the situation has to teach, and come away better informed.
The people who don't know how to be civil when they are on opposite sides- are the fools in the game.

 

There are an odd number of verbatim repetitions of some of the questions and answers -- and also a number of misspelled words (?). This makes me think that the transcript was unedited and "raw". Whatever the reason, it is noticeable and distracting.

 

Word is that this transcript is fake. We'll see the interview soon enough to verify or not.

 

If the transcript were a fake then surely the Russians would be quick to point it out! I say that because they were quick to dispute it when it was said that nobody had even tried to interview Putin since the start of the Ukraine war but Tucker Carlson. The Kremlin didn't waste any time saying that statement was not true:

Dictatorial Heads of State set up the rules of the interview before it takes place. What questions can be axed, what topics can be covered.

 

Do you think Russia’s invasion of Ukraine was unprovoked?

 

Who the hell cares?

Maybe the National Enquirer. To run it in their rag mag.

 

Unprovoked enough for the invasion to be condemned by all UN member countries.... except Eritrea, Iran and North Korea.

 

A couple of thoughts, Dairy... "Knowledge is power" -- but, ignorance is... well... simply ignorance. And in the case of Vladimir Putin, what you don't know CAN hurt you.

When it comes to autocrats who possess an arsenal of weapons that can, in theory, kill you, me, and every other American, it's far better to have knowledge, even if you have to sift it and probe it for errors and 'spin'.

 

Correct. Knowledge is power.

Carlson is a hack and conspiracy theory promoter. His knowledge is a joke and dangerous. Lying is not knowledge.

He got fired from his last job for lying.

It's more dangerous to have bad info, ie fake knowledge. It leads to wrong decisions.

 

Specious conclusions are specious. If she didn't want that black eye she wouldn't have given me lip.

The pathway to peace is forged through the observance of both perspectives. You can go with the perspective you imagine your foe holds, or you can attempt to communicate with your foe to find out their actual motivation. If you only project your own understanding of the situation on to your foe, peace will likely be out of reach because your foe will have little motive not to give you a black eye in an attempt to get you to listen.

 

I do see your point, and can't disagree with all of it -- but -- if all Americans know about Vladimir Putin is what they get from the mainstream media in 'the West', then we'll never develop a comprehensive, fleshed-out understanding of the man.

The simple-minded understanding that most of us have about Putin (and other very powerful people in Russia's government) is simply that "they're bad". But believe me, there's a great deal more to it than that!

Probably fewer than one American in 1,000 know that Putin has a Ph.D. in Economics, among other scholastic achievements. And, probably fewer than one American in 10,000 even know who the Director of the FSB (successor to the old KGB) is -- a frighteningly intelligent man named Alexander Bortnikov. I wish somebody in 'the West' would interview HIM!

 

I agree the transcript is real, but Putin doesn't answer to any but pro Putin reporters. There is nothing wrong with Carlson doing an interview with Putin, but the ones that have challenged him in the past don't fare so well later on. So it does come with the proverbial grain of salt.

 

I can't imagine a worse analogy. I can't even imagine it was in any way honest. RUSSIA was the aggressor. RUSSIA blacked the eye.

You are literally suggesting we just give fascist invaders what they want.

If someone pulls a gun on you and demands your money, and you have the means to defend yourself, do you owe them an attempt to "understand their perspective"? I love this whole new bleeding heart act!

 

Yes. As does anyone who is honest and educated and spends more than 5 minutes fact checking Putin propaganda.

 

I am, personally, pretty far to the 'Right' of hte political spectrum.

But I disagree, strongly, with those who think Russia is anything but an enemy of everything good and decent in this world.

Russia and Soviet Russia, have been at the center of every conflict of any size over the last 100 years. Even the smaller ones, Soviet Russia was providing the motivation, the revolutioonaries, the weapons and the advisory roles, both military and political to the violence.

Since Peter The Great, Russia has want ed a Warm Water Port near Europe's center. Vladivostock just doesn't do it. The ports in their North are too often frozen. Syria's ports are unreliable and besides..... Russia likes beating up people. ALmost as much as they like murdering them.

Russia is a sick society and the sooner it is crushed into shards and pieces, the btter.

Much of the problemm can be laid at the feet of Billy Boy Clinton. When Russia was truggling to get on its feet after Ronald RayGun so thoughtfully crushed the Soviet Union for us, Clinton F'ed it up. Like dems do almost everything. Soft vs Hard Landing.

Later

 

Lol. Oh brother!

 

I will watch Tucker's interview soon, but I watched all of Oliver Stone's interviews with Putin some years back. His intelligence and love of country is very strong. I'm embarrassed for what passes as "leadership" in the pathetic Gangster's Paradise that is Washington DC.

 

Yes. I guess seeing other people being informed can frustrate some people. Especially those who defend Russia's fascist invasion. I'll bet you believe it was because of NATO, lol, oh brother! Please tell me you didn't fall for one of Putin's dumbest lies.

 

You'd prefer a murdering, fascist, totalitarian KGB agent who is actively attacking an ally? At least we know where loyalties lie. Anyone who prefers Putin over our government is free to leave any time they want.

 

Let me guess, American autocrats who loathe ordinary Americans should be the ones to decide what is "fake knowledge". In much the same way Putin gets to decide what is "fake knowledge" in Russia. The sociopaths in America who decide what is "fake knowledge" are clearly better people than the sociopaths in Kremlin who do the same thing.

In the end, if I get to decide what is fake knowledge, I am 100% with you. If you get to decide what is fake knowledge, I am 100% against you. Where do we go from here? History has shown that the people with the most guns always decide.
