Powerful Putin Interview

There’s a great thread over at AskHistorians about this: https://www.reddit.com/r/AskHistorians/comments/1amcn5e/what_is_true_and_what_is_false_in_vladimir_putins/

TL;DR: Putin isn’t exactly lying, but like any politician he’s not averse to stretching the truth and only presents facts that support his argument.

Since being fired from Fox…

Why was he fired again?

It doesn’t seem to have triggered much deep thought today though

You given the BBC article ELShalimo Linked much thought?

It hasn’t generated much opinion (OP) as it’s just a rehack of a delusional dictators  personal reading of history.

Why – he wants to influence American policy. Why Tucker – others have covered that well

Don’t feed the troll 🤷‍♂️

Powerful?

He has an ear piece in for the translation, obviously his scripted history is getting fed to him through it.

Did they stop for a piss break?

Tuckers face is amazing. I genuinely thought the video had glitched with the audio still going until he finally blinked.

Pretty sure he needed to have a good sh*t about 30 minutes before the 2 hour lecture started.

Tuckers face is amazing.

This is a hilarious shit show. Putin is now 28 minutes into his history lesson. This is the 3rd time Tucker tries to interrupt and Putin mocks Tucker for just being an entertainer and not a serious journalist. Tucker tries to fake laugh it off while Putin emasculates him. pic.twitter.com/ABLG3sVz0Q

Russian troll 😂

O.K. would you prefer “Useful idiot? At least Putin’s troll army are smart enough to be getting paid.

Why was he fired again?

They have never said why.
It was reported that a bunch of messages from him were revealed as part of the Dominion lawsuit which made the fox news bosses realise he wasnt just playing the part of an arsehole on screen.
Almost certainly didnt help that in the unredacted messages there are some of him insulting the network bosses.

Polite reminder what he said about The Orange Shitgibbon

“We are very, very close to being able to ignore Trump most nights,” Carlson said in a text on 4 January 2021, two days before the riot. “I truly can’t wait.”

He also wrote: “I hate him passionately … What he’s good at is destroying things. He’s the undisputed world champion of that. He could easily destroy us if we play it wrong.”

Full member, joined 2009. That’s some sleeper cell.

Putin.

Isn’t that Russian for: virile, muscular, intellectual, strong:

Somewhat coincidentally, it’s found in the OED as part of the definitions of:

– imbecile

– insecure

– impotent

– petty.

There’s more to be gained from watching an episode of this.

Putin taking the piss out of Tuckyo Rose without him being able to do anything about it was enjoyable, but that’s about it.

If he had responded to any of the jibes or (perish the thought) tried to do any actual journalism then he’d have had to spend the rest of his brief life avoiding high windows and glow in the dark cups of tea.

BBC have produced a ‘fact-checking’ guide if you fancy an alternative viewpoint @buttonmoon?

Though I suppose it depends on whether or not you believe ‘mainstream media’ over Tucker.

Poots wasn’t holding back though, and had some interesting historical perspectives that shed light on his current strategy.

Putin: "Poland forced Hitler to invade it".

Tucker: …

If Tucker was a real journalist he would have pushed back on this literal debunked Nazi propaganda, but Tucker isn't a journalist, and this wasn't an interview, but one big KGB brainwashing circus. pic.twitter.com/IpZ2Zoypxz

I am not seeing a downside here.

Depends on whether you’re about to board a flight and see him in the queue ahead of you.

Pretty epic eh? He’s siding with Hitler over Poland yet he’s invading Ukraine to de-nazify it?

Just how dumb does your average American have to be to believe this sh*t?😁

Yet again I fail to understand the American right wing’s fascination and fan-boi behaviour regards Poo-Tin.
These are the same people that use “socialist” as a mighty insult.
At the same time the leader of a huge communist country trots (!) out discredited Nazi crap.
What a time to be alive!

Putin is a fascist. They like the idea of fascism/authoritarian government.

Russia is not a communist country. It is a right-wing corrupt kleptocracy run by a dictator.

Remember this:

^^ That’s great!

Original Tucker beats this **** American clown any day.

No idea

Good “interview”.

At least I can listen to the other side of the story.

Slight diversion.

I am curious why do you think Buddha will say that?
Why bring Buddha into this topic in the first place?

Little surreal but I’ll answer honestly as I’m watching Peep Show.

2 reasons, humour firstly but not at the expense of Buddhism, at the expense of Tucker.

Reason 2, Id like to think a wise man, irrelevant of religious affiliation if any, would objectively think Tucker is a F****, and does indeed suck, as North wind alluded to.

Right, now I’m off to see if Jez really is young, dumb, and objectively, full of cum.

The implication is even Buddha would find Tucker a challenge.
