Congratulations to Tucker Carlson for gaining re-entry visas during a time when Russia has essentially locked down their visitor entry process. Tucker Carlson has announced he is back in Moscow, Russia for an interview with Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov. WATCH:
.
This should be an exceptional interview at a very critical time in the transition of U.S. power.
Below is a transcript of the recent comments made by Russian President Vladimir Putin remarking on President Donald Trump.
[Transcript] ♦ Question: Vladimir Kulagin, Vedomosti.
To what degree should and could the current escalation, initiated by the Biden administration’s approval for ATACMS strikes on Russia, influence the potential for establishing connections with the forthcoming Trump administration? How significant will this factor be in shaping relationships? Or are there perhaps other indicators that complicate this endeavor?
♦ Vladimir Putin: We are unaware of the discussions between Mr Trump and the incumbent President during their meeting. We simply do not know, and therefore, we shall refrain from commenting on it – it is not feasible.
There are various scenarios. If incumbent President Biden believes that by escalating tensions, by intensifying the confrontation, he is paving the way for the future administration to extricate itself from this predicament, allowing the President-elect to say: “It’s not me, it’s others who have lost their senses. I have no part in this. Let’s engage in dialogue.” Certainly, that remains a possibility.
Another plausible scenario is that the current administration seeks to create additional challenges for the future administration. That too is conceivable. However, from my perspective, the newly elected president is both intelligent and experienced, and I believe he will discover a solution, especially after enduring such, shall we say, a significant challenge as the battle to reclaim the White House.
You know, what struck me most, and I think you share my view, was not the fact that entirely uncivilised means were employed against Trump, absolutely uncivilised, including attempts on his life, more than once (incidentally, I believe he is still not entirely safe). So what? There have been various instances in the history of the United States. I believe he is a wise and hopefully judicious individual who comprehends all this. But what astonished me more was that during the attacks on him, during the struggle against him, not only was he subjected to degrading, unfounded procedures, legal charges, and so on, but his family members and children were targeted.
Our gangsters do not engage in such behaviour. When criminal groups clash among themselves, they do not involve women and children; they leave them be, men fight among themselves. But these individuals did involve them, can you believe it? It is so repugnant that it underscores once more the complete disarray of today’s American political system.
Nevertheless, the country remains great, unquestionably. We are open to dialogue with the United States, including with the future administration.
Thank you very much. Have a pleasant day. Goodbye. (LINK)
Bravo, Tucker Carlson!
This cannot stand
It’s crazy
How are the war machine
And the NGO money laundries to continue
If the truth is allowed
And
Both sides want to talk their way to a solution
I suspect Tucker will end up in Romania after he interviews Lavrov.
Be great if he could score and interview with Georgescu.
Tucker, Georgescu and Tate could have a threesome.
And then On to Moldova. Countering the corrupt regime of Samantha Powers & Co.
Don’t forget Georgia, too!
Would love to see a joint interview with Sam and Toria…behind bars.
<Bravo, Tucker Carlson!>
“The Ukraine girls” – they seem to be the only Ukrainians that NATO doesn’t want to be cannon Fodder …
🙁
A St. Petersburg woman really knocks me out!
St. Petersburg, FL?
Beat me to it.
That song was the first thing I thought of when reading the headline: “Tucker Carlson is Back in Moscow…..”
I hope Tucker gets to stay awhile and tour!!
It looks like Russia has already started
with their Christmas Decorations!
There will be more added….
their Christmas is Celebrated on Jan. 7th.
Orthodox Christian.
Christmas Walking tour of Russia! Moscow Nightlife streets Right Now! Walk 4k 2024 – YouTube. ☝️☝️ one day ago. Just a walking tour…no narrative
Putin bad man,so says the uni party and their assassins that Tried to kill Trump.Russian political party criminals can’t hold a candle to our Washington scumbags.
I have always had great respect for Lavrov’s measured gravitas, and no nonsense Russkie.
Mr.Lavrov & VVP ..are best what Russia have since days of prime minister Stolypin about 1907…….
Same here!
Big fan of Lavrov!
Besides Putin, Lavrov and Maria Zakharova are the
two that when they speak…the World listens closely.
D. Medvedev…I always listen to him…just because he
is like a pit bull on a leash.
This interview should be great.
Lavrov is the ultimate diplomat!👏
I like MZ the best! LOL
It is refreshing to read and hear statements from politicians and officials who are both educated and eloquent.
The restraint Russia has shown in response to US/EU provocations has mitigated the unfolding disaster.
The idea that listening to, and researching where Russia stands makes one a “Putin” stooge is dangerously infantile.
Yes, Sergey Lavrov is a true stateman and brilliant diplomat.
That man is the epitome of dignity under provocation.
Thee and me, my friend. A statesman.
Something of which we saw not one in Biden’s incompetent and bumbling State Department.
I dare say messages might be delivered…😎
Dad’s back in the room and he’s calling up his adult friends.
Amazing how that happens when he shows back up.
Dad is back I am proud he is,but dad is calling up some friends best left at home.Pam Bondi / The Kraken Sidney powers, . Then like the old saying. Never trust a dog that don’t bark or a man that don’t talk, and may I add? a man that can’t keep his fly zipped,.Pete Hegseth.
The Putin interview was fascinating. I’m looking forward to this one too. I know…I must be a Russian stooge. 🥴
If President Trump was cheated again out of his victory, you can bet Sundance would have been arrested as a Russian asset.
And, Tucker would have never gotten back into Russia. Didn’t they try to car bomb him, the last time?
The interview is one of the most positive signs I’ve seen for awhile.
You really should him listen on qst.& answers on V A L D A I….
Agreed, but again Tucker repeats the tired chicken little refrain that we are ever closer to a NUCLEAR confrontation that could destroy humanity, (bullshirt!) even AFTER Putin has in quite a civilised and judiscious manner, demonstrated that, should Russia percieve this conflict as an existential threat, he is capable of neutralising that threat with MIRV HYPERSONIC missiles, with conventional warheads, and so no need to resort to Nuclear.
Recall what PDJT criticised, primarily was TALKING about Nuclear, you just don’t DO that.
You could say that Putin demonstrated more restraint that Harry Truman.
Truman had people urging him to use one atom bomb as a demostration, in orde to persuade the Emperor to surrender, without vaporising 100,000 people or whatever, but he declined.
Putin demonstrated his hypersonis mirv missile, on an ammunition facility, 8 stories under ground. Minimal civilian casualties.
Someone (the non existent real reporter) needs to ask some of these asshat warmongers who say Putin is a tyrant, you can’t negotiate with tyrants, etc. that if Putin is such a tyrant, why didn’t he just take out NATO headquarters, in Brussels?
He drew a red line, at the ATACMS, pointing out they would require satellite data for targeting, the Ukranians could only get from US, and any country supplying such aid, was making itself a valid target.
He could therefore have taken out a U.S. Facility or wsrship, and would have been fully justified in doing so.
Anyway, I do not appreciate the way everyone keeps repeating that this conflict in Ukraine is bringing us closer to nuclear armageddon, when the only way I see that happens is if the U.S. resorts to nuclear, as Putin has clearly demonstrated he has no need to.
Putin could cut every oil pipeline in Europe and cut every underwater fiber cable in Europe. That would be enough.
Yes–except we’re doing it already.
Now he just has to send “Hazel” to…
clean house🤣🤣🤣
I love old TV..and that Oreshnik is also translated
to Hazel..I have been chuckling every time I hear
Oreshnik.🙂🙂
I wouldn’t put it past the current US administration…
I think you’re flat out wrong but rather than explain why I think that, Scott Ritter is having an event in D.C. at the Press Club where he’s going to have 3 panel discussions where experts on this question are going to be discussing exactly why we are indeed at the point Tucker outlined. Those sessions I’m sure will be taped and the videos uploaded to Judge Nap’s YT channel and I imagine also at scottritter.com too. So just wait for that to happen and watch those videos. It’s happening in a few days, I think on Dec 6th…
Scott Ritter is a Deep State sabre-rattler Never-Trumper who deserves no respect. Disgusting person.
Dutch, I don’t normally disagree with you but on this one I certainly do. For at least the next 50 days or so we are the closest we’ve ever been. Yes, Putin might only use conventional warheads on a hypersonic missile but if he targets anything with any combination of the letters N, A, T and O on it we are likely to respond back with nukes. These people really are that crazy.
^^^ This.
Pray.
So in this mindset the warmongers in the western coalition deep state are on the edge of nuclear war.
The worse part is no one could be held responsible. For example, the ATACMS into Russia authorization, there is somebody who organized this escalation. They have a piece of paper with Joe Biden signature on it. They will claim they are just following orders from the President.
Just like the NAZI soldiers in WWII. These people have no shame. They will hide behind an old man with dementia for the evil they are perpetrating.
We have such insane psychopaths running our country, THEY are the determining factor. Our world is upside down so don’t consider it improbable they won’t use something nuclear to get a war started. They have proven they will do the most psychopathic things to stay in power…or not go to the gallows.
Remember, there’s a generational hated of Orthodox Christian Russia by certain ethnic groups that goes back to the time before Czar Nicholas II and it appears that the people who own current White House fall into that category. Frankly, I don’t feel that these White House officials have the moral right to use their positions of trust to settle their personal Hatfield and McCoy grudge at the expense of my family’s lives!
Imagine them poisoning the water supply of Philadelphia. 200,000 dead and then blaming it on Russia. That’s the kind of things they will do. No holds barred
Dutch, it is because we have been indoctrinated since childhood that Russia is the big boogie man. that alone is difficult for some to shake off. I admire Putin and listen to him every chance I get. actually many times they have had America’s back.
Trump says the same. He’s been saying it for a long time.
US/NATO are doing their damnedest to provoke Russia into escalating.
Which would give US/NATO justification to escalate. If that escalation included any sort of strike into a NATO country, or taking out a US facility or warship, that would trigger US/NATO full-scale retaliation.
While such US/NATO retaliation might not be nuclear, Russia’s response to US/NATO’s full-scale war might very well trigger Russia to respond with tactical nukes.
Many scenarios could lead to Russia using nukes, even if US/NATO did not use them first.
It’s not foolish to note that US/NATO’s actions ARE bringing us to the brink of nuclear Armageddon. It’s foolish NOT to notice that the neocon/PC-Prog cabal is capable of inciting WW3, as their political ship sinks.
The fearmongering about nukes and HEMP is especially suspect when one considers the signs that the US and Russia (and therefore China and Iran too) are actually coordinating behind the scenes to effect a grand theater.
Some may see that all these events lead to a deindustrialized US being put down under the rising “multi-polar global governance” led by China. A final state of totalitarian control by the Controllers running the US, necessary for the developing global order. Which would explain why the deindustrialized US regime is depleting its military and pushing toward war it therefore cannot win. (Otherwise it doesn’t make sense.)
These realizations call into question Tucker and his ilk, with their fearmongering and “hard-hitting reporting”.
This could also explain how Tucker and his crew were able to get in to Russia and do this interview, if the visa etc. processes are locked down per Sundance.
That is: He is a propaganda organ of the rising multi-polar order including the US.
Have you ever listened to him?
Many times.
Many clues. Here is another:
Tucker interviewed Glenn Greenwald recently:
https://theconservativetreehouse.com/blog/2024/11/20/glenn-greenwald-outlines-the-clear-and-present-danger-as-biden-administration-directly-attacks-russia/comment-page-3/#comment-11323775
1:16:20: Tucker remarks to Glenn on how Trump “is somehow, weirdly resistant” to blackmail by the IC. As part of their conspicuous marvelling at how Trump seemingly cannot be controlled by the deep state.
But Tucker and Glenn are smart men who both know that blackmail is not the only way the IC may control people like Trump.
They know full well that other means may also be used, like “Nice family you got there, it’d be a shame if something bad happened to any of them.” But they chose to veil that possibly with the focus on blackmail only and how Trump is “somehow weirdly resistant” to that.
Its not “weird” if there is a plausible explanation, which in this case could be that Trump is controlled by something else (see above).
The most effective propaganda is veiled as something else – Mockingbird was veiled as ‘journalism”. Do we think Mockingbird ended after the Church Committee?
Tucker and Glenn Greenwald and other figures interviewed by Tucker can also be likewise controlled.
Once we realize these things, we understand that things are not what they seem now.
This is an interesting video giving the, so far, best estimation of the new Russian missile.
The last sentence is exactly why TC & others are talking about it.
Yes Putin shows great restraint, our team however knows no boundaries. I fear a tactical nuke will be set off and blamed on Russia. They did not hesitate to blow up the towers while they had the patriot act already drafted to nullify the Constitution. When they say this is a spiritual battle not one of flesh and blood, you understand that evil has no limits. Even nuclear war is not a bridge too far for the American IC who controls everything in the western hemispheric. So in my view, yes we are closer than ever to WWIII.
It never hurts to maintain lines of communication with opponents or friends.
Great. Saw on X
🤔
The US has no communication with the Kremlin?
No more red telephone?
That sounds like asking for disasters.
In the video Carlson says two years ago Tony Blinken cut off all contact with Russia, all back-channels, all official channels.
Yet it was reported that Russia notified the US about the recent Oreshnik before firing it at Ukraine targets.
(To prevent the US mistaking it for ICBM nuke.)
Whose misleading? Tucker or other reports on this?
It reminds me of BHO telling President Trump that no one had spoken to Kim Jung Un. His first question was why not.
The reason they don’t want communication with Putin is because they want the war to continue…Actblue isn’t going to fund itself.
It is my understanding that half hour before Hazel was
launched, Russia did contact DC and gave them a
heads up.
Understandable, since that was Oreshnik (Hazel) test launch.
It lessened the chance of panic at unfamiliar missile and
someone doing something Really Stupid.
Diplomatic conversation doesn’t exist, but it was nice to
know that this happened. 🤷♀️
Blinken may nave cur State contact but Pentagon contact with the Nuclear and Syria crisis reduction hotlines still seem active. Thankfully.
President Trump should make Tucker the Ambassador to Russia.
Purely for the entertainment value …
I LOVE THIS!!! It would be in Trump’s top 10 all time trolls
Thank you Sundance, every time I read statements from President Putin, I am reminded me of you telling us that the Russians in general are truth tellers. It helps to see things clearly and not pretending.
Right! (sarc) Lying is the most popular national sport in Russia. There is a joke told in Russia (in the real Russia, not Moscow or St. Petersburg) about a man on trial for cracking his neighbor’s ceramic pot. The judge asks the man to respond to the allegation to which the man replies, “In the first place I did not borrow my neighbor’s ceramic pot. In the second place, if I did borrow it, I returned it to my neighbor without a crack. And finally, if my neighbor’s ceramic pot is cracked, it was cracked when I borrowed it.” I learned that joke from my Siberian friends years ago and it’s still relevant.
relevant
“Lying for the truth”, is an old marxist joke.
Crossfire Hurricane 4: In Crowdstrike We Trust
It’s funny, this line of Putin’s speech says : “It’s not me, it’s others who have lost their senses.” commenting on what President Trump would say about his usurping predecessors.
In the one I listened to, President Putin said, “Lunatics” which is hilarious and more accurate.
Very interesting. And very evocative.
“Lunatics” == is also a word President Trump has been using alot more lately
Example?
“Leftist Lunatics seeking to destroy our Country”
Coincidence?
Or perhaps President Elect DJT is deploying persuasion/pre negotiation techniques often referred to as “mirroring” and/or “pacing”?
Selective inclusion.
Example
“Happy Thanksgiving to all, including to the Radical Left Lunatics who have worked so hard to destroy our Country,” [..]

One ping Vasili.
Yes Tucker, just one!
Putin understands what’s going on.
I do not apologize.
The above quote by President Putin is consistent with a number speeches by President Putin that I have read.
While I do not seek to alienate my fellow treepers, I both respect and find my self liking President Putin.
I said once before, I find him to be the most reasoned and measured leader in the World today.
If any country had done to the US what the US has done to Russia, we would already be in WW3.
President Putin has endlessly show extraordinary restraint in the face of constant bullying by the US government and its proxies.
It is pretty obvious to me President Putin knows he is in the drivers seat and controls the specifics of any agreement with regard to Ukraine.
Gregg Babb,
Where do you think you are? No apologies necesary, you are among like minded who as you can see from the other comments, are not hostile to Putin or Russia, and have more than passing familiarity with the history of aggression on the part of the US and NATO since the Wall Fell.
Relax, pick out a branch to perch on, have a cup of cofeve, and get confortable.
Thank you Dutch,
I am honored by your reply.
So grateful to see you posting again.
Well sed Dutchman my sentiments exactly be well stay strong
R.D.
right on..he got iron nerves with his restrain…..
Yes, and it is going to pay off in the upcoming settlement with regard to Ukraine.
“he got iron nerves with his restraint”
Definitely.
Ditto, President DJT.
Different countries. Different audiences. Different public personas and delivery styles.
Yet both share the same foundational, heroic virtues .
Consequently, when teamed up, their similarities PLUS their differences creates history transforming synergistic energy.
Bottom line, its NOT one, or the other. Its both. Plus many more.
And they scare the cr@p out of the derp state.
Pray, hope, and don’t worry! Saint Padre Pio
Totally agree with you Babb. I listen to his speeches and have the web site RT to get their perspective. They have their own prejudices but I like to see their point of view.
Yes, I too read RT.
I started years ago after I realized most of what the US government said was gaslighting and propaganda.
I was in search of the truth, just as I am drawn here seeking the truth. RT was much closer to the truth than any other source other than the Treehouse.
Dude! You have nothing to apologize for. I think a huge percentage of people here in the Treehouse feel as you do. Putin is far more stable, honest, and trustworthy than probably any other world leader not named Trump.
And, I believe he is leading the clean up of the US labs in Ukraine and the unholy disgusting abuse of human bodies, especially children.
Thank you Jello,
I do appreciate your validation.
Your last sentence I know to be true.
You will find many of us…probably most…
have always been…Putin Puppets😁
It was impressive-the amount of crowd sourcing
that happened here when the SMO began..and how
quickly we broke the propaganda narratives!
We are pretty awesome when it comes to breaking through
the bs and getting the truth out👏👏
Sometimes it takes a little longer to break some narratives,
but we eventually get there.😏
Rooting for Putin 👏👏👏👏
Thank you for your reply gypsybreeze, and the truth and strength of the facts you present.
Sad as it is, I have been believing Russia and Putin far more than I have this Maladministration and the MSM.
Please allow me to say, I don’t find it sad. I simply find what you said to be true.
As others on this thread have pointed out President Putin tells it like it is, whereas the US government and their propaganda media rarely give the American people the truth. It is mostly gaslighting, propaganda with a tiny grain of truth mixed in.
I have never found a single thing President Putin has said not to be true, therefore I trust him.
Since both Trump and Putin share common end goals, fortunately both leaders realize that who is seen as being in control ie “in the drivers seat” is just part of the psywar optics game they BOTH have to navigate, domestically and globally, in order to achieve those shared goals.
And fortunately, despite the clownishly ridiculous propoganda depictions of both men, NEITHER of them personally cares about who gets credit, and/or how much they get, as long as those shared goals are achieved.
Peace is the prize!

I also find Putin interesting. this started after seeing his speech at the Alexander Solzhenitsyn Monument. Some of Putin’s comments reminded my of Alexander Solzhenitsyn essay, “Live Not by Lies”. Although written to the people living under Soviet Rule, I find this article extremely applicable in todays world. I summarize as Do Not accept or repeat the Lies of the Rulers over you. Today, They tells us that a Man can get pregnant => No! I will not accept it, I will not repeat this, I will not live by this.
I many ways, it is similar to Sundance’s often repeated, “do not pretend”.
We must live by truth. Jesus said this often.
Soo, Back to Putin. One day when I was commenting about Putin from the Tucker Carlson interview. My Russian wife, bluntly told me “There is nothing that I want to hear from that man!”. She immigrated from Russia in 2015. Soo lived under Putin Regime for the entire time. Because of my personal involvement- I am always very clear to separate Russian from Soviet/Communist. They are not the same.
Your comment allows me to deduce we have much in common.
We must reject Satan’s lies no matter who sponsors them.
I am curious who your wife would have preferred to President Putin, without of course involving myself in your family dynamic.
Your last sentence is of critical importance, if one is to see Russia as it is today, and their open embrace of Christianity.
My wife is not political. I am not sure who she would prefer? Although, she nearly started crying when she heard the Alexie Navalny had died, or as she said “they killed him”.
Soo, my wife is half Ukrainian. Her sister, along with many nieces and nephews live in Ukraine, outside of Kiev. Many years ago, well about 4 years ago. I asked her to ask her sister what they thought of Zelensky. It was a non-answer. I realized then, people are people – no mater where they are at. Most are trying to live there life, and do really care about what the politicians are doing.
On a final note. My wife is Russian Orthodox. She left a protestant church many years ago to attend Russian Orthodox. I am non-denominational protestant. I have studied the theology and history of the Orthodox Church to really understand what they believe vs Catholic or protestant or Coptic varieties. The Russian Orthodox Church is 800 years old! It was a center for learning for all Orthodox in years past. I have english translations of Orthodox Theology textbooks that where originally written in Russian from 150 years ago. What a rich history is there. I have personally talked to Russian Orthodox Priest who describe how the Soviets tried to destroy this Church. The Church is still here, and the Soviets are gone! We always hear how the Jesus’s Church grows during persecution. This maybe part of the reason the Russian Orthodox is soo popular in Russia today.
So, when and where dobwe see the actual interview? (I HATE being teased, and am not very patient).
I should think it will be on Tucker’s TCN.
Assuming the teaser above was just recorded, they have to get back to the US and their offices and then edit the interview. That’s going to take a couple days probably.
“Donald Trump is a remarkable politician acting from his own experience… I am shocked by the impeachment proceedings. The charges brought against him… You can watch and listen to Trump’s video addresses again and again…”

Lavrov interviews get cancelled if they’re not politically correct.

‘We don’t have insane people’ – Lavrov on nuclear war fears
https://www.nbcnews.com/nightly-news/video/russian-foreign-minister-on-nuclear-strike-potential-we-don-t-have-insane-people-134540869907
Hopefully, this will be an interview that plays an important part in everybody’s (US and Russia) understanding of what will bring about peace, what the possibilities are and what they are not.
IMO, Sergei Lavrov is one of the great foreign ministers in the world today. He is wise, shrewd, and he does not pretend. Yet he is diplomatic.
IMO, Tucker Carlson was given permission to interview Lavrov because the Russians are eager to talk to President Trump, to explain to him their concerns and their national security needs. It is very similar to President Trump viewing the opening of Notre Dame. Macron wants to talk to him. This gambit allows President Putin to “talk” to President Trump via Tucker Carlson and his foreign minister who is speaking for Vladimir Putin.
Yup,….
Unofficial envoy😉
I am picturing the splodey heads by
the neo con war mongers.😆😆😆
It should be a fantastic interview!
picturing
neo con
Yup, real statesman/diplomat, respected everywhere in rotw, good sense of humor too, have wished for decades we had some like him, but we don’t. Shame for RU he’ll be retiring soon, apparently he had already planned too in ~24 but smo happened, and Vlad asked him to stay on awhile longer.
smo-social media optimization
(CNN) – When it comes to Russia, the Obama administration has been talking about “pressing the reset button.” It’s meant to symbolize a possible new start in U.S./Russian relations, which “crashed” after Russia invaded Georgia last August.
So when Secretary of State Hillary Clinton greeted Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov in Geneva Friday before sitting down to their working dinner, she was all smiles when she presented him a small green box with a ribbon.
Lavrov opened it and, inside, there was a red button with the Russian word “peregruzka” printed on it.
“I would like to present you with a little gift that represents what President Obama and Vice President Biden and I have been saying and that is: ‘We want to reset our relationship, and so we will do it together.’ …
“We worked hard to get the right Russian word. Do you think we got it?” she asked Lavrov, laughing.
“You got it wrong,” said Lavrov, as both diplomats laughed.
“It should be “perezagruzka” [the Russian word for reset],” said Lavrov.”This says ‘peregruzka,’ which means ‘overcharged.’”
It’s So Childish… THEY SHOULD HAVE CALLED IT A “RECESS BUTTON”
Emblematic of the gang that can’t shoot straight, and an example of what Sundance has been telling us, about how the Russians ARE straight shooters.
She asked, the “diplomatic” (at least in the western sense of the word) responce would have been to say “Sure, you got it exactly right!”
Whereas the Russian view is “Well, you asked so NO, its WRONG”.
Because they like to tell the truth, The Russians that is!
Hillary, and those like her, also “like to tell the truth” as long as they get away with it because people who heard them “tell the truth” assume they were just joking, just made a mistake or people just misheard/misunderstood them.
Good Hearteds, especially sheltered normies, are sitting ducks for NWO Death Cultists like Hillary.
Perhaps Hillary actually did NOT make a mistake when she chose that word?
Lavrov believed that the purpose of their talks was to “reset” Russia’s relationship with The West; a positive “reset”, NOT to “overcharge”he relationship until it exploded.
So to him the word she chose WAS “a mistake”.
And Hillary encouraged him to think so with her out of character,girlish whoopsie routine as Lavrov pointed out her translation “mistake” on live TV.
But did Hillary REALLY make a mistake or was this just another example of her viciously passive agressive, dog whistle deploying, “sense of humor?
With hind sight, my guess is that she knew exactly what she was doing.
Hillary has an overcharged guilty smile in that photo for sure!
Meanwhile, Lavrov realized their lies and subterfuge. He smiled and was diplomatic, but he knew. He knew that Saakashvili (Christina Pushaw was his advisor) was responsible for what happened in Georgia. Even the current government of Georgia has stated that it was the US behind the events in Georgia in 2008.
Always thought it was inappropriate and sophomoric of Cankles to present a device that looked more like a nuclear launch button than a “reset” button. The US couldn’t find a green one or have paid to get one made?
How about a Jacuzzi button?
Oh please do
https://www.breitbart.com/sports/2024/12/03/video-charles-barkley-floats-run-for-president-with-mark-cuban-as-vp/
Barkley may be floating something but it isn’t a run for president! What a bunch of totally ridiculous narcissists!!
One of the famous stories from the Stalinist years is the following. Stalin was notoriously paranoid. He simply did not trust anyone at all. On occasions, he would kidnap the wives of his closest advisors. They must show up to work the next day or the whole family would be shot for treason. I do know if he ever released the wives.
Stalin and Lenin slaughtered up to 25 million Russians. I believe it was Stalin who starved 10% of Ukraine to death.
I do remember when Putin first ran for the office of presidency there were terrorist bombings in Moscow and he ran as a hardliner against terror. It was discovered that it was his people loading explosives into the apartment buildings.
I have no doubt that he loves his people and his country because you can see how strong, wealthy and religious he allows them to be.
But I wish that Putin would stow that holier than thou bullshit.
The US GOVT could have EASILY taken out Stalin and his commie goons after Germany surrendered in WWII.
Yes, EASILY.
Why did it not?
Answer:
The US military had a total of 183,000 in uniform in 1939 when Germany invaded Poland at the start of WWII.
By the time Germany surrendered, there were 13,500,000 (13.5M).
This represents a 66X growth, in just 5 years. <— reread that.
Now just think…..if YOU had the govt contract to supply shoe laces to the US DoD in 1939. What happened to your business in those 5 years? Now realize that happened for every contract supplier from bubblegum to bullets.
BUT…..
Had the US govt taken out Stalin and his commie goons, it could have been expected to replace them with a representative democracy. And all of eastern europe would have remained free.
There would have been no need for a NATO, because there would have been no “Soviet threat”.
There would have been no cold war.
There would have been no “arms race”.
What would have happened to the US defense budget?? What would have happened to your shoelace company?
FACT: the US govt ALLOWED communism to enslave tens of millions across eastern europe under the boot heel of the Soviet Union…why?
Because it was PROFITABLE. And because the tens of thousands of newly minted DoD supplier millionaires, who were bankrolling politician campaigns, would not have allowed it.
Yes….our corrupt American govt did that.
And yes, it IS that simple.
That’s crap.
Sadly, it is not.
In fact, Gen. George Patton wanted to do just that. He reasoned that:
A. The west supplied Russia with over 50% of it’s war fighting material. This could be cut off.
B. The US was already at 100% wartime production, with the supply lines and logistics already paid for, in place, and fully functioning.
C. The German army would supply the foot soldiers, while the US would supply the air power and artillery.
D. The west would enjoy almost immediate air supremacy over Russia (we never gave them P-51 Mustangs and B-17 Fortresses).
E. The Russian soldiers were conscripts fighting under threat of execution from their communist slave masters, it was NOT a volunteer army. As soon as they realized the target was Stalin and his goons, and not the takeover of Russia, those soldiers would turn against their communist overlords.
F. Eastern europe was already destroyed. There was very little left to destroy in going after Stalin.
Yes, it would have been over quickly. Very quickly.
What the govt TOLD us all was that “America wouldn’t stomach another year of war.”
HOGWASH.
Whenever they tell you it’s not about the money, you can absolutely 100% count of it being ALL about the money.
Lastly, we have the benefit of hindsight to know all of the above is 100% accurate.
No, it would not have been over quickly. The red army was most battle hardened in the world and the Russian factories were relocated in the east and churning out high quality weapons. Stopping land lease would not have crippled them. The war stopped because Hitler was dead, Japan defeated, and people could not stomach further death and destruction. Three percent of the world population perished by the war’s end. Three percent.
Patton is a brilliant soldier and a great patriot. We were blessed to have him. However, conducting a war, which is now nuclear, on the heels of the greatest conflagration ever seen would have made this country a hated pariah.
Yes, it would have been over very quickly.
Those battle hardened soldiers in the red army would have turned on their communist slave masters, the west would have enjoyed unlimited air superiority over Russia and quickly reduced those russian factories to rubble, and unlike the US Russia could not have successfully fought and sustained a 2-front war from rhe west (europe) and the east (asia).
Moreover, the Russians didn’t have atomic weapons, so there would not have been a “great conflagration” and no…after liberating the world from the Nazi and Japanese threats…the US was at no risk whatsoever of becoming a “hated pariah”.
Stop regurgitating govt lies.
Russians are not communists. They never were. Don’t mistake the ruling regime for the people.
The chinese people are not communists and would choose freedom if they could. They are forced and coerced tp proclaim loyalty to communism. Same for the Iranian people vs. the ruling regime in Iran. Neither “China” nor “Iran” is an enemy to the USA….only their ruling regimes.
The red army would have melted away into the night once it knew we were coming for Stalin and his goons, not their country.
.
GODSPEED TUCKER CARLSON!!
… which is more-or-less what Churchill was contemplating in his “Operation Unthinkable.”
Fortunately, other people also thought of his plans as “unthinkable.” They escorted him out of the picture into retirement, and afforded him no further military power.
Yes, for the incredibly profitable military industrial complex, it was indeed “unthinkable” to eliminate such a convenient threat and the justification for ever higher defense budgets and taxes.
Not true at all and we have the hindsight to know that it would have never happened.
The Russian military were highly patriotic and would have continued to fight. They are still patriotic. They actually celebrate the end of WWII and honor their veterans from that war. The German army was defeated….Hitler put into action young kids with little experience. Do you really think that Germans would have fought under US command? Do you think that US soldiers would have trusted Germans and been willing to fight alongside them? Especially after the Holocaust was exposed.
Our P-51s and B-17s did not have the fuel, resources, and forward bases for any depth into Russia. The railroads for transport, the roads and bridges, the land, water sources, and infrastructure for cover had been destroyed.
Please keep going, seeking and growing.
If what’s believed NOW is mistakenly viewed as NOW Knowing It All, or knowing enough, this truth seeking quest ends before its really begun.
As an homage to “The Odyssey” I often refer to this as a “Land of the Lotus Eaters Test.
Bottom. line, sending bon voyage best wishes.
All of that hidden money laundering was a threat to the hands that took it. Biden pardoned the guilty of treason Hunter and in my opinion is why he ran for president. If he needed help to win you can bet those dirty money hands helped Biden b/c that was saving them too. Now we see through a glass darkly but then face to face. Praise God.
Sundance definitely helps us see the truth as we travel this journey.
Maybe we’ve been living with government crap for so long that the bureaucrats want us to call it ambrosia.
“EASILY”
It would have been super, duper “simple” to do.
Thanks for this bittersweet reminder of my younger me. No wonder I drove my parents crazy back then. As they did to their parents.😘
I think you need to do more research before posting. Just like the depression in the US, Russia went through the worldwide depression, widespread crop failures due to weather conditions, and starvation over the whole of Russia. Communist collectivist policies opposing the landed middle class was a big mistake. The Ukrainians keep spreading the Holodomor story, but that is contested by other sources that tell and give figures that show it wasn’t a Ukrainian-only event, but a Russia-wide starving time. Although most westerners condemn Stalin, the people of Russia consider him a hero who won WWII despite Germans and their allies killing over 37 million people.
Vladimir Putin was named President of Russia in 1999 when Yeltsin stepped down due to the terrorist activities going on in Dagestan and Chechnya. Vladimir Putin ran against 11 opponents in 2000. The Russian military was in disarray and looked like it would be defeated by terrorists and those terrorists were bombing buildings in Moscow. Vladimir Putin had NOTHING to do with the bombings in Moscow. Look at the actual investigations of them. He has spoken of them many times, most recently after the Crocus terror killings, and the terrible events of that time. He managed to bolster the Russian military and defeat the terrorists.
The Dagestan/Chechen terrorists were being funded by the US government. The Deputy Director of the CIA’s National Council on Intelligence, Graham E. Fuller, explicitly stated that their objective was to use Islamic extremists to “destabilize what remains of Russian power”. The purpose was to “balkanize” Russia into smaller states.
He has a lot of reason to be wary of the United States. “Holier than thou”? I don’t see that and have watched many of his speeches over the years. He is knowledgeable, very well read, understands what is actually going on and doesn’t pretend. He puts his people and his country’s security first.
It is not disputed that the soviets starved the Ukrainians. It was Soviet policy. This is not a controversial statement. It is accepted fact.
I can believe that we funded terrorism in the Balkans.
However, there were bombings in the capital of Russia in Putin’s first presidential run. Bombings in Moscow. That is like saying that there are bombings in DC. How would that be possible? How could anyone possibly pull that off?
These bombings were in residential buildings in Moscow during a presidential race after the fall of the USSR. Putin’s guys were caught red-handed. I recalled reading that at that time in our newspapers and magazines in the nineties.
“I recalled reading that at that time in our
newspapers and magazines in the nineties ”
And that statement of yours is what I would advise
you to think long and hard about.
Then start with researching as many sources as possible.
Find out if those newspapers and magazines were telling
the truth.
🤷♀️
You know what? You are right. I think that I read about the bombings in Newsweek and other places and I am relying on memory. So, i conceded your point and googled it. Let’s see what is out there.
Here’s a link:
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/1999_Russian_apartment_bombings#:~:text=In%20September%201999%2C%20a%20series,triggered%20the%20Second%20Chechen%20War.
I did not see anything about his guys being caught red-handed. A lot of articles were written after Russia invaded Ukraine so bias of interpreting facts against Putin is expected.
But, I remember that the bombings were attributed to him back in 1999.
People in these pages are celebrating him as a bastion of moral correctness and free elections. And, frankly, this man is more moral than the ourregime and his last election is more free than anything we have had since the Kennedy assassination, at least. Trump elections are not free and fair that is why he repeated to big to rig and so forth. Reagan overpowered the fix too.
Unfortunately, the Russian government because of this one man for now is more moral and fair than our entire blob.
I pray that he selects a suitable successor, who is moral and hard as nails like him,for the sake of the Russians and the world itself.
Thank you for doing further research.
If you were my student I would give
you an A+ and 5 gold ⭐️ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️!
My understanding is that US//NATO,
since the “wall fell”, has never missed
an opportunity to paint Putin -and Russia
in a bad light. And the propaganda even to
this day still exists.
NATO needed/needs a villain to justify its
existence.
From what I have heard, there are two young
men that it looks like Putin may be training as
possible future Presidential candidates, or
political leaders. Lavrov has spoken a few times
about retiring, perhaps Putin is sharing his
wisdom with the two young men in hopes
one will replace Lavrov. 🤷♀️ We can only wait and
see.
President Trump and President Putin both love
their countries, and both have always put the
interests of their countries first.👏
😏 😖 There are not many leaders who do the same.
This is congressional testimony about how Purim’s men planted the bomb. The FSB was caught red-handed and it became a national furor in Russia. I remember reading about it back in 1999/2000 timeframe.

“holier than thou bullshit” == a subjective reaction which,for what its worth, I now try to view these self projection reactions as possibly useful info I can use when I’m ready for more self improvement.
In other words, I treat my reaction as an informal iteration of the old Rohrshach Ink Blot (what do I see?) Diagnostic Tests
Bottom line, only best wishes were meant by these words so hopefully that intent was received rather that something that wasn’t meant.
“After the Soviet Union collapsed in 1991, Russia took the responsibility to redeem outstanding debt to USSR’s creditors.”
https://www.reuters.com/article/russia-bosnia-debt-idUSR4N1F102X/
Imagine a new war forward, unburdened by the old war forward.
Wonder if President elect Trump might be using Tucker to relay messages to the Putin government?
Tucker == public messaging
President Trump uses other people as back channels “to Putin’s government” and Putin
Examples of publicly known back channels?
Orban and MbS
I thought the emissary position has been filled.
Since Putin’s recent comments were somewhat positive, my expectation is that Lavrov’s role in the Carlson interview is to play Mr. Nyet, raising the bar before the start of peace discussions with Trump and his representatives. If Lavrov surprises (me at least) with a positive tone, that will be quite an encouraging signal. The Kremlin should have figured out from the Putin interview, that Carlson is not any sort of foreign policy expert, or even a well-educated layman, and he certainly does not represent the US government or the President-elect. However forthright Carlson has been about that, I can’t imagine the Russians finding it plausible that Carlson’s intent really is to be a backchannel or sorts not to the government or Trump, but to the information-deprived American people. I can’t wait to hear this interview.
Are there any heads left in Mordor on the Potomac that haven’t yet exploded?
I’ve been noticing that some inhabitants of “Mordor” have heads that don’t explode. Instead they implode.
Sometimes these mploders are referred to as people with “cooler heads”.
Which reminds me of the old adage, ” looks can be deceiving”.
Well if a head implodes, doesn’t that make it a PINHEAD!
Collusion!!!
🤣🤣🤣
Lavrov is the consummate diplomat and advocate for Russia. I hope Carlson is more prepared for this interview than he was for the interview with Putin.
To my way of thinking: “Lavrov and Putin are consummate diplomats,” and “Tucker is a consummate journalist.” As such, Tucker’s role is to bring out and to develop the viewpoints of those whom he is interviewing – not his own. He will do so again.
Awesome, Mr. Putin!
I noticed you did not mention Tucker as one of the Truth Managers, unless I missed it!
I don’t understand Steve Bannon being a truth minister when he was indicted by the SDNY for felony mail fraud and again by Bragg in New York which is pending trial along with spending four months in federal prison for not complying with the J6 Committee.
Why would anyone continue to carry water for the Uniparty when they’re trying to put you in prison for 20 years? Obviously, it doesn’t provide any protection!
After getting a sense of who is, and is not, a “Truth Manager” and then try to figure out, for whom?
Obviously, President Trump has Truth Managers too. And obviously how dialed in they are, in a Big Picture sense, varies. Alot.
And, as Martha Stewart famously used to say, “that’s a GOID thing”.
Its both OG Sun Tsu ‘Art of War’ and modern day Special Ops PsyWarfare savvy.
I read a couple wks ago we had killed their Soldiers but didnt hear more. I didnt know if it was true, now i do
I think that Putin’s statements were absolutely as level-handed and diplomatic as they possibly could be.
It must be remembered that Putin has seen many American presidents come and go. Years before, he was a Colonel in the Soviet times. So, shall we say, “he has a very broad perspective of history.” He has certainly lived through history at its very worst . . .
His various international opponents, on the other hand, don’t have these perspectives – and also do not seem to realize why such things are actually [vitally …] important. This is why Putin is continually able to “checkmate” them. And, why his people continue to re-elect him.
Russian elections are no more free than ours. I believe that there was a presidential limitations in the Russian constitution and Putin was hitting its limit. Putin arranged for Medved – I think that’s his name- to be elected president and he was. Medved is a very close and trusted advisor. Then, the Russian constitution was altered to eliminate the limit and Putin became president again without any term limits. I speculate that the last Russian election was mostly free because Putin was ahead and expected to be elected. And, he can boast that the elections were free and fair on the world stage. He was telling the truth. But, if Putin was expected to lose then actions to ensure his success would have been taken. He probably learned that trick from our guys.
Medvedev is his name. That is the close, trusted, and loyal advisor.
“Russian elections are no more free than ours. ”
And yet the Russian President is enjoying a far higher approval rating than any US President in living memory.
We seem to be laboring under the fallacious assumption that the majority of Russians would like to see the back of him., hence our desperate belief that if Putin is ousted, a victory over Russia is assured.
We have some very dumb people, in very powerful positions, playing very dangerous games.
Jake Sullivan for example, is an unserious person, and wholly out of his depth.
Scheming isn’t a synonym for intelligence.
“Never attribute to malice, that which can be adequately explained by stupidity.”
He’s also been explaining the US’s FP DState to us in public since 2015 and the Stone interviews, he knows all to well how potus’s come and go but the policies and actions almost never ever change no matter how much a potus may want too.
Ditto DJT.
Although,for most of his life, when he interacted with world leaders, DJT was a world famous billionaire donor rather than an employee ie a donor depedent political figure.
Which may be one reason why PDJT has a far freer way of being in the world than Putin.
Fwiw I hold both in high regard and appreciate both ways of being.
Tucker and Medvedev would also be fun.
Nah, Medvedev is for comedy relief and for playing ‘bad-cop’. 😉
Is Tucker an emissary?
Unofficial as best we can tell.
Russia sits on incredible amounts of energy and they have no qualms about retrieval and usage.
The U.S. also has the same capacity…possibly more.
but…
We have let children drive our energy policies, and thusly, we have been tortured by the leviathon adminstrative state and globalists…
This will now change under Trump
and thank God for that…
Here is an excellent palate cleanser from a scene from a movie that just came out….
I will not steal the thunder…
Watch and enjoy…
Trillions at stake: When people attack “the oil industry” or “fossil fuel”, remember that neither the oil industry nor fossil fuels are unities. They are all divided into factions. Old money owns majority stakes in existing production.
When regulation attacks “the oil industry” returns on existing producing assets INCREASE as new entrants are blocked from bringing new production online.
When a war blows up fields or disrupts [sanctions!] access to fields, the value of other assets producing goes up.
Shutting down coal and nuclear drives up the value of other assets.
Coal owners and nuclear owners are natural enemies of each other because they compete to supply steady baseline power demand. Natural gas owners try to supress both.
Think of the destruction of Libya, funding the Mullahs to take over Iran, The Iran-Iraq War, both Iraq wars, ISIS, and the current Ukraine war through this lens.
There are no children involved other than as props. The SOBs doing this know what they are doing.
Competion between monied factions is as red of tooth and claw as anything in nature and much more devious.
ALL OF THE ABOVE energy production and peace are good for the rest of us because they channel that competion into production rather than destruction and produce wealth rather than merely concentrate it.
This war will END when Russia gets what it has been repeatedly asking of the West………….and figures out a way that it will be seen as the west own idea so they can BOAST about defeating Russia.
Something only the Russians have the intellect and diplomatic ability to do.
This sums up the mentality and egos of western leaders.
Sorry, but Lavrov is way above Tucker’s pay grade though hopefully he can come down to Tucker’s level and provide good answers. But since the Russians these days love talking down to Americans, most of whom are historically illiterate, and since most of their translators do a fairly poor job, chances are they will talk across from each other but not with each other. Which happened to a certain extent with the Putin interview.
Under selling Tucker’s acumen – smarter than you or I…
Wouldn’t it be better to wait for the interview?
In the Putin/Tucker interview, do you think that it is possible that Tucker deliberately asked stupid questions that reflect the stupidity of many in the US? Was he possibly a deliberate foil to: 1) accurately reflect common US beliefs; 2) draw out Putin?
Possible, but doubt it. Tucker is an odd duck. I’ve read one of his books and often enjoyed his broadcasts and both admire and respect him. But he also has a way of appearing dumbfounded in the face of new information that may be partly an act but also is partly real. I don’t know what it is, some sort of clinging to normalcy/naivete despite all he’s been through. I find it phony in some way, and a little irritating. Again, though, for a public figure in broadcasting in the States, he’s one of the best and bravest.
Lavrov is fluent in English. It will be interesting to see if he will talk to Tucker in that or in Russian.
Indeed.
Though my beef with Lavrov is that he combines gravitas with ponderosity at great length. And he often repeats himself. (He might get Tucker crawling the walls!!)
And maybe this time Tucker will have prepared himself a little better so Lavrov doesn’t have to spend thirty minutes going through the Maidan coup in 2014 and such.
I hope he gets Lavrov to articulate what about America the Russians find most infuriating and blameworthy so his audience can learn how others see them. Lavrov can deliver such criticism forcefully and from a well informed perspective.
Many folks will naysay Tucker, he’s a this or a that, but there’s something we don’t notice; we don’t notice it because he’s so good at “going grey”.
He’s a beachhead for MAGA. Wherever there’s a “place” or position that’s just a little too controversial for President Trump or his team to touch on, Tucker is there to break trail a bit, to set up camp and tidy things up, making it acceptable for the public to approach.
I’ve never forgotten a Tweet by a Russian academic historian about Lavrov: Something like “Ah, the face of a man who wanted to retire in 2015”
I’ll probably have other thoughts but thought I’d throw that out there quickly
I often see & hear expressions like “We’re not REALLY THAT CLOSE to nuclear war! Why won’t everyone chill out!”
That’s Freudian. It’s called a defense mechanism. Part of our psyche tries at all costs to protect us from having to think about dangerous or unpleasant things, that nonetheless are real
Some of us, when confronted or bothered by thoughts of danger, will talk a lot. Obsessional neurotic people are prone to talk non-stop, jumping from one thing to another, saying whatever comes to mind, b/c what they fear is an uncomfortable silence (I’m like this)
There are many defense mechanisms. It’s in everyone’s interest to become aware of them, which ones you’re most prone to, & just a little awareness can diminish their power & allow you to think more clearly about things that crowd in on our minds
No doubt, China is watching carefully.
Tucker Carlson is great. But we have to ask, why is Russia doing this. Trump’s base is Putin/Lavrov’s target audience here. We would be fools to assume good faith or honesty.
It looks like Russia is doing a fantastic job of projecting that they are a moral government fighting against Western amorality.
Not far from the Truth…
For me, the name of the rag–“The New European”, explains the front page picture and intent quite well.
Tucker, much respect for you!
Tucker has come along way into his personal and professional evolution since his first visit with Putin.
I find this a little tedious.
Putin does need to be engaged
and I expect Trump will do that.
But the respect for this killer Putin is overdone.
Putin is only impressive because we have had a senile puppet fool
for President and an ignorant and callously manipulative media
and political class pushing the Ukrainians to fight on our behalf.
They have failed to put serious economic pressure on parts of
the Russian war machine, because it might cut into the profits of
certain machine tool makers or to simply free American energy
producers to produce more, drive the cost of energy down and
make it impossible for Russia to finance this war.
Ukraine has not forgotten that Soviet Russia starved 8 to 12 million
Ukrainians after WWI.
This is a forgotten holocaust of the same order of magnitude
as Russian casualties in WWII and the horrific Holocaust itself.
Ukrainians have their own reasons for fighting.
Who in the media mentions this?
And the brutal grinding methods that are the Russian way of war
are front and center in the Donbas / Azov fighting.
Russia has burned up their modern armored forces,
lost their Black Sea Fleet
and taken over a half a million casualties.
Their bridge is tottering.
This is not smart or wise on Putin’s part.
Trump is the only one to say the killing
must stop.
And he has the courage to make it happen.
We gain nothing, if Russia is shattered.
Implacable imperial communist China is the real danger.
Putin has made threats and underlined them with MERVed ballistic missiles.
but his fundamental position is weak.
He is running out of soldiers
and has to import cannon fodder from N Korea.
Putin’s Mediterranean fleet is retreating from Syria.
It is time for Peace, and Trump will be focusing on that in
45 days.
If the deep state or Iran does not kill him.
Brilliant and thanks, that was not tedious.
Apart from a couple of minor claims, I have not read such a comprehensive collection of untruths and bullsh*t before. I shall post it on a Russian site to give them some belly laughs.
I will comment however on one item, the Russian fleet in the Med. You may not have seen but the ‘retreating’ fleet on Monday had a little exercise. Two frigates (using unstoppable hypersonic missiles) a submarine and a shore battery destroyed a target ship off Syria. Just a small reminder to others of their capabilities.
I hear you. But even if one grants that Putin may be the most accomplished national leader and statesman of our times, I find some truth in the assertion that he is weak. I enjoy Paul Craig Roberts’ short, trenchant essays. He has long been a Putin fan, for he greatly admires him, but also critic, for he feels he has been far too reasonable with the Ukraine conundrum, dithering and pussy-footing around instead of taking charge forcefully.
A counter argument, which PCR never makes, is that Putin is playing 4D chess against the Evil Hegemon gradually positioning the World Island (Eurasia) as the dominant player with its multipolar premise being put into practice year after year until its reality holds sway, a condition some believe has already taken place.
And the point that Trump wants the killing to stop is a good one. Though even if he makes that happen quickly, and takes a deserved bow (and no doubt praises himself for doing so!), the underlying structural tensions will remain, for Trump is in deep with the Zionists whose agenda is of no benefit to a single US citizen other than those profiting in the MIC, and it guarantees unending geopolitical conflict. I hope and pray he can find a way through all this to some sort of Grand Geopolitical Bargain with Xi and Putin such that the US becomes one of the civilizations in the multipolar arrangement.
But then again: the Chinese and Russians are all-in on United Nations centralization of world law and governance. Declarations from BRICS frequently reference the UN Agenda 2030, as do documents from the WEF. They are all from the same playbook, aka ‘globalism’. BRICS was first proposed by a Goldman Sachs executive. Trump is for sovereignty and dynamism. Is Putin? Is Xi? Or do their large scale geographies or populations respectively put them at a different civilizational level than the US which is relatively small on both counts? Or are they wrong to push the UN approach because it will just end up with a bureaucratic Swamp which will end up being taken over by a tiny group of Bad Actors as has happened with the republican experiment in the US to the detriment of most of its citizens?
These are all open questions at this point and I haven’t read anyone who convinces me they really have the answers. All sides have dirt under their fingernails, put it that way. I just hope that DOGE is successful in paring away the excessive bloat and rot in DC so that maybe, just maybe, the country can have a shot at substantive reform and restructure some of the elements that allowed it to be so corrupted in the first place. That said, without ending the Fed and taking an axe to MICIMATT, nothing will make all that much difference. I guess we’ll all know in about a year whether that sort of thing is possible or if we are just scraping off the barnacles so that we can take one more passage, now powered by AI, for another one or two generation growth spurt until the whole thing finally rots and sinks once and for all.
That was on the money.
Agree!
I did get a real belly laugh. Hopefully it was just
a case of …they forgot the //s tag!

I just heard about interview Iranian soldier gave—

The Soviets starved the Ukrainians & put the Russians in charge of the country until the fall of Soviets in Russia. The “welfare” of the descendants of those Russians in Ukraine are the excuse for the current war, and the takeover of large parts of Ukraine.
Any peace we help negotiate will require land sacrifices by Ukraine.
This war is to China’s benefit as it weakens China’s peer competitors.
China’s ROI from its Biden bribes [and other bribes] are astounding.
I support dialogue with Russia and if it’s only with Tucker Carlson so be it! I’m looking forward to it! At least there won’t be any phony red reset button! I’m also looking forward to President Trump’s comments on the interview! I wonder if President Trump gave Tucker a private message for Putin? I hope and pray he did! I don’t hate the Russian people or Putin. I want a peace deal tomorrow! Godspeed Tucker Carlson!
How does Trump get a message to Putin ?
enter Tucker stage right… “Emissary”?
Putin understands the danger President Trump IS STILL IN.
Putin obviously does not want war. He understands President Trump does not want war.
Putin also understands if war is brought to him, he has no choice.

“Our gangsters do not engage in such behaviour. When criminal groups clash among themselves, they do not involve women and children; they leave them be, men fight among themselves.”
Yep. Our gangsters in the swamp don’t have the grit. Far too depraved, perverted, cowardly, and sadistic.
Suspicious Cat wonders how dear Tucker got that entry visa?…
I assume he asked. None of our IG run mockingbird msm would be given permission to interview Putin the great satan of our IG/deep state/Democrats/Uniparty! Tucker is the only means Russia has to get out their side of the story to a good portion of the American public and on the internet! One of the main roles of our mockingbird msm is the suppression of truth. One of those truths is our IG/deep state ran a color revolution in the Ukraine and allowed the Ukrainian Azov Nazis to kill ethnic Russians in Eastern Ukraine provoking Putin to invade! It was all intentional! JMO
As a non pretending person, I find it interesting that Tucker Carlson gained a re-entry Visa into Russia, when no one else can. How does that happen, I wonder….
From the Russian Foreign Ministry’s chief press officer Maria Zakharova:
The Lavrov interview is extensive and interesting – the most current topics are covered
Tucker Carlson’s interview with Sergey Lavrov is extensive and lasts about an hour and a half, and will be published in a few days, the spokesperson of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Russia Maria Zakharova announced, adding that it is now being translated and edited.

Cool. Be careful Tucker, The Republic (USA) needs you as we correct our evil trajectory.
It would probably shock lots of folks., if we could run down all the money sent to the Ukraine criminal enterprise . Then who it was funneled back to in the Washington cesspool ,probably even some news outlets are being paid with it, they sure are not serving on advertiser lake Huckabee’s Sleepium those horrid Government health plans and the latest gizmo from China.
