Tucker Carlson Interview with Vladimir Putin Scheduled to Broadcast Tonight, 6pm
February 8, 2024 | Sundance |
This is likely to be a very interesting interview for multiple reasons. The โwestern worldโ has not heard much unfiltered or unscripted news about Russian President Vladimir Putin for several years, essentially since the sanctions were imposed in the aftermath of Russiaโs entry into Ukraine and the subsequent war.
The backlash against Tucker Carlson has been extreme ever since his entry into Russia and visibility in Moscow was noticed. President Putin having the ability to speak directly to a western audience is not something any of the western government officials are comfortable with.
There are various excerpts of the transcript that have come out since the original mention by Carlsonof the interview. A segment ofwhat is claimed to be a partial transcriptis below:
Again, I would review any pre-interview release transcript with a healthy dose of skepticism. There are multiple places where edits seem visible and repeated patterns make the authenticity of the transcripts questionable. Letโs just wait and see what Carlson broadcasts.
In an ordinary and stable world, this interview would not be controversial. However, in these times where the modern information war is now the dominant battle in the USA, this interview is considered extreme and potentially a national security threat.
Why is that? What is it about information that suddenly Western governments view as inherently dangerous? Have you ever wondered what is happening behind what is visible. For the โwestern allianceโ to exhaust so much time and effort on controlling information, it reallymakes you wonder what the root of their anxiety is.
From my own research, thepart that President Putin notes about the interests behind the financial sanctions is the most interesting path to follow.
TUCKER: Why is that?
PUTIN: There are strong financial entities in whose interest it is to keep us as adversaries. One of your presidents warned against that. We Russians do not have that problem.
TUCKER: Do you see the United States as an enemy?
PUTIN: No. Categorically no. We were allies in WWII.Russians helped settle Alaska, California and we were in Hawaii too. Our people are not enemies but those in DC are certainly not our friends.
TUCKER: Can you be more specific and name names?
PUTIN: It would be pointless. It is not up to us to solve your domestic issues. Besides, Iโm sure you know the names better than us.
TUCKER: So are you saying your adversary is not Joe Bidenbut the people behind him?
PUTIN: Exactly. Joe Biden may not even be aware of whatโs going on. He may not understand the level of sanctions thrown at Russia.Who put those sanctions together? Those our the adversaries.
TUCKER: Is that why you and Russia have been targeted?
PUTIN: Itโs more complicated than that but Iโm sure itโs a good part of the reason.Whenever the dollar is endangered the United States takes extreme measures. It cannot afford to have the dollar fail.
TUCKER: But isnโt Russia weaker and more vulnerable economically than the US?
PUTIN: When you look at the size of economies we are small. Butfew people take into account our vast natural resources. Russia has over $80 trillion in the ground. No country even comes close to us. (The bankers and the West has wanted to conquer Russia for at least 150 years, the natural resources are actually more than that. The Kiev spat was about the West stealing all of Russia.
TUCKER: What is your opinion of President Biden? {EDIT?}
PUTIN: We are convinced he is not running the country.Letโs say we have good sources that confirm thatbut itโs plain for anyone to see for themselves.The US has now entered into a dark period. It has unaccountable leadership.
TUCKER: OK. Point well taken but donโt you have the same issues in Russia.
PUTIN: Yes. To a degree. But in Russia those interests are more aligned with the thinking of the average Russian man on the street. In the United States that is not the case.The elites have deserted you.
TUCKER: so who do you think is running the US then?
PUTIN:The forces which have always ran it. You may change presidentsbut you do not change those in real power. That is who we have to deal with.Joe Biden is just a faรงadefor this power structure.
