🧵I’m increasingly convinced that #Putin and “Putinism” have been made possible by the accumulation of resentments across the Russian society. #Putinism has emerged from Russians’ inability to accept that they lost the Cold War because the Soviet Union could no longer compete 1/
@andrewmichta - Andrew A. Michta
#Putinism is akin to the Dolchstoßlegende that emerged in Germany after its 1918 loss in Wold War I. It argued that the great German people were never defeated, but betrayed by cowardly politicians-stabbed in the back. That German legend fueled DEU interwar national resentment.2/
@andrewmichta - Andrew A. Michta
Roughly within a decade after WWI the Dolchstoßlegende and the national resentment it fueled gave rise to Hitler and his attempt to re-litigate the outcome in 1918. Only the unequivocal defeat of Germany in 1945 buried the legend, foreclosing the path to empire through war.3/
@andrewmichta - Andrew A. Michta
At a risk of over-rationalizing history, I’d argue that for the past 30 yrs Russia has travelled a trajectory similar to that of interwar Germany. Putin’s neo-imperial aspirations are nested in a sea of RUS national resentment over loss of power & prestige on the world stage. 4/
@andrewmichta - Andrew A. Michta
The Russian story that Putin has been pushing is one of the West, having taken advantage of Russia’s weak leaders (Gorbachev, Yeltsin, etc) robbed Russia of it glory to diminish its “velikiy russkiy narod,” That it is now poised to destroy RUS civilization. 5/
@andrewmichta - Andrew A. Michta
If I’m right, the Russian threat to its neighbors and its neo-imperial drive will not end regardless whether Putin remains in power or not. In the long duree of Russian history, it can only break if Russia is decisively defeated in #Ukraine- in a way that every Russian sees it 6/
@andrewmichta - Andrew A. Michta
That’s why so much is riding on the outcome of the war in #Ukraine. If Russia wins it will see this as a civilizational victory over the West. It will be emboldened to press on into #Georgia, #Moldova and down even breaching the @NATO line. 7/
@andrewmichta - Andrew A. Michta
But if Russia is defeated in #Ukraine, the collapse of the legend of “velikiy russkiy narod” could unleash centrifugal forces in RUS that would foreclose its path to empire. It would be a period of instability & risk but it would offer Europe a path to peace. #ArmUkraineNow End

Alright! The feed for Putin's State of the Nation address has gone live. Speech due to start nowish but it's his country and he'll be late if he wants to. Currently showing the whitest audience since the Republic National Convention. Will live tweet 👇. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AjjQkaKMoTE
@DmitryOpines - Dmitry Grozoubinski
Mixed news for Sergei Shoigu, the Russian Minister of Defense who didn't score a front row seat but is nowhere near a window and thus presumably safe from the world's most deserved defenestration until at least the afterparty.
@DmitryOpines - Dmitry Grozoubinski
Announcer just asked everyone to switch off their mobile phones, and if there's one speech you don't want your Britney Spear's 'Toxic' ringtone going off in it's this one...
@DmitryOpines - Dmitry Grozoubinski
5 minutes late to start the speech, a year late to take Kyiv. Bad form, Vova.
@DmitryOpines - Dmitry Grozoubinski
He's announced like he's entering the octagon to fight Hulk Hogan. "Theeeee Presideeeeent of the Russsiiiiaaan Federaaaation!"
@DmitryOpines - Dmitry Grozoubinski
Admits it's a difficult time, but immediately describes it as a pivotal, cardinal time in the world. "On each of us lies a huge responsibility." Mostly you though, dude.
@DmitryOpines - Dmitry Grozoubinski
Ok, straight into the special operation. Describes the mission as both a defense of the Donbas and a pre-emptive strike against a Nazi regime. Now waxing lyrical about how the Donbas held out against Ukraine, believing Russia would rescue it. Christ.
@DmitryOpines - Dmitry Grozoubinski
Ahaha. "We did everything possible to resolve this problem peacefully." Currently claiming that Western governments were just buying time and pretending to want peace.
@DmitryOpines - Dmitry Grozoubinski
"Ukrainian Neonazis!" DRINK!!
@DmitryOpines - Dmitry Grozoubinski
"Even before the launch of the special operation, the Ukrainian government was in negotiations with the West to acquire anti-air and other weapons" Yeah, wonder why dude.
@DmitryOpines - Dmitry Grozoubinski
Oh my god, he just mentioned Biolabs in Ukraine and claimed Ukraine was trying to acquire nuclear weapons. This is 4chan level conspiracy stuff in a Presidential address.
@DmitryOpines - Dmitry Grozoubinski
Ahaha, there is so much projection in this speech you can see it in space. "The West is used to doing whatever it wants, regardless of what other countries think, and used to lying to its own people."
@DmitryOpines - Dmitry Grozoubinski
Now we're onto the expansion of NATO and the deployment of anti-missile systems. And "hundreds of US bases all over the world." Is he getting this speech from internet memes?
@DmitryOpines - Dmitry Grozoubinski
He claims that the rejection of their proposals in December 2021 proved that there was going to be a massive attack on the Donbas, and waxing lyrical about 2015 fighting there. Thankfully, nothing he's done since then has caused any damage to that region.
@DmitryOpines - Dmitry Grozoubinski
"I want to repeat this, 'it is they who started the war, and we are using force, and expending force, to end it." Good line, shame it's fucking insane.
@DmitryOpines - Dmitry Grozoubinski
"We are protecting the lives of people, but the West's goal is global domination." "They have spent $150bn" which he's now comparing to global aid spending by the G7 of $60bn. Because Uganda really needs HIMARS.
@DmitryOpines - Dmitry Grozoubinski
The audience looks bored as fuck. You can get this shit on Solovyov or RT every day. Also he's clearing his throat and coughing a lot, but honestly he looks reasonably good and his voice is strong so I don't buy into the 'about to die' theories.
@DmitryOpines - Dmitry Grozoubinski
What's interesting about this is that this is supposed to be a "State of the Nation" speech, it's like 12 minutes in and he's basically not mentioned Russia once. It's all just grievance about the West. Currently doing 20th century greatest hits. Babbling about Austria-Hungary.
@DmitryOpines - Dmitry Grozoubinski
Ahahaha, he just said the "Edelweiss" thing. Background - Ukraine renamed one of its mountain divisions Edelweiss, which was the name of a Nazi Mountain Unit... but also the name of everyone's mountain everything because it's an iconic mountain flower.
@DmitryOpines - Dmitry Grozoubinski
"It's remarkable the West doesn't notice that the Ukrainians are Nazis because they don't care as long as they're fighting us." It's so hard to explain to these people how much the West would prefer to never think about them at all.
@DmitryOpines - Dmitry Grozoubinski
"We are not at war with Ukraine. They have become hostages to the Kyiv regime and their Western Backers." Reminder: Kyiv government has an approval rating of like a billion %.
@DmitryOpines - Dmitry Grozoubinski
Currently talking about a regime stripping a country of its natural resources for its own enrichment, which again is projection so bright it will burn your corneas off if you look right at it.
@DmitryOpines - Dmitry Grozoubinski
"The more long ranged weaponry Ukraine is supplied with, the further we will have to push the danger from our borders." Good luck with that, champ.
@DmitryOpines - Dmitry Grozoubinski
He's being very vague about what they actually plan to do. There's a pattern to this speech whereby he identifies a threat and then says, "We will take appropriate measures."
@DmitryOpines - Dmitry Grozoubinski
Now talking about informational warfare. Claims the youth are being targeted. Handwrings over the Church, which absolutely no one in Russia attends services of by the way.
@DmitryOpines - Dmitry Grozoubinski
We're onto culture war stuff. The West is degrading the family. Paedophilia shout out. Gay marriage is in the bible etc. "In Russia, our policy has always been that adults can live how they like... BUT" "Anglican church is looking to explore the idea of a gender neutral god"
@DmitryOpines - Dmitry Grozoubinski
"We are obliged to defend our children against degradation!"
@DmitryOpines - Dmitry Grozoubinski
We are now talking about national traitors. Anyone from the Soviet Union has heard this kind of rhetoric before. "We won't do what the West does and engage in witch hunts." Fucking hilarious when you're dragged off in handcuffs for holding a protest sign.
@DmitryOpines - Dmitry Grozoubinski
"I think we're all proud that an absolute majority support our special operation. In this support is exemplified by the patriotism that defines our country and the indivisibility of our fate from that of the nation."
@DravenNoctis - Noctis Draven
Putin asks the simple but logical and important questions, questions that tell you exactly why the west hates him and would love him to be removed. It's ironic that the countries most responsible for coups, wars, assassinations, displacing of people, overthrowing of governments and destruction of countries and economies are also the ones whom claim to be the moral arbiters. Whom made the west the masters of the world, whom laid the crown at the feet of the west and said, "Rule us, lead us, be the example?" Why is it that every way is wrong unless it is the western way? Americans especially say, "The world hates us!" But never do they stop to ask why? You're bases blanket the world, your troops stationed all over, your policies forced upon everyone, your culture and degeneracy exported abroad and the trail of dead could wrap around the world a thousand times. So to ask the question that Putin asks, "Who do you think you are?" #UkraineRussianWar #ukraine #russia #Zelensky #putin #nato #BRICS #china #india #africa #Trump #biden #EU #IsraeliCrimes #Palestine #Israel #PalestineUnderAttack #Palestina #Gazagenocide #gaza
@Mylovanov - Tymofiy Mylovanov
Putin tells lies, half-truths, and fantasies at his year-end address. This is propaganda, but it works. So, we must resist and refute each point Here is what he said about Ukraine and the West and why it's wrong 1. Putin blames the West for the war in 2014 and 2022 1/ https://t.co/1ho5T45t1x
@Mylovanov - Tymofiy Mylovanov
Putin: How did the conflict in Ukraine begin? It began with the state coup in Ukraine in 2014 Let's stop right here. Even if it were a coup in 2014, Russia or Putin has no right to invade and annex any territories. The international law doesn't allow it 2/
@Mylovanov - Tymofiy Mylovanov
There is the principle of non-intervention. It grants every sovereign State the right of to conduct its affairs without outside interference But of course 2014 wasn't a coup. Pro-Russian president Yanukovych rejected aspirations of Ukrainians to move towards Europe. 3/
@Mylovanov - Tymofiy Mylovanov
Protests followed. Yanukovych ordered to shoot protestors and things unravelled. He fled Ukraine to Russia. Russia invaded and annexed Crimea, then invaded Donbas 4/
@Mylovanov - Tymofiy Mylovanov
2. Putin claims Russia's actions are justified to protect pro-Russian populations in eastern Ukraine that have suffered for 8 years No, they are not. Even the rights of some part of the population were violated by the government, there are courts, international law, and the UN /
@Mylovanov - Tymofiy Mylovanov
Violation of any rights of any people doesn't provide Russia or any other country with an excuse to invade another country. 6/
@Mylovanov - Tymofiy Mylovanov
Putin says: They spent eight years shelling Donbas. They forced us to take these actions No, no one shelled anyone in Donbas until Russians appeared there. They started taking over the government buildings, arresting the government officials, shooting people who resisted 7/
@Mylovanov - Tymofiy Mylovanov
Then, the "separatists" somehow got tanks and artillery (from Russia) and the war started. Most of the shelling and shooting happened in 2014-2015, when Russia military and Russian supported irregular militia were fighting Ukrainian regular army. 8/
@Mylovanov - Tymofiy Mylovanov
3. Putin denies Russia is seeking to encroach on others "We are not creating any blocs. And our friendship is not directed against third countries – it is aimed at benefiting ourselves, but not at harming anyone." 9/
@Mylovanov - Tymofiy Mylovanov
No one cares if you are creating any blocs or not. What I and others care about is that you use Iranian drones to shoot at my city everyday and that these drones and technology kill my friends 10/
@Mylovanov - Tymofiy Mylovanov
4. Putin defends the ongoing "special military operation" to achieve Russia's goals of "denazification, demilitarization and neutral status" for Ukraine Putin and Russia can have any goals they want, but they have no right to use military force to achieve them. 11/
@Mylovanov - Tymofiy Mylovanov
5. Putin claims Russia is successfully "demilitarizing" Ukraine by destroying large numbers of Western-supplied weapons. "We have also destroyed almost 2,300 armoured vehicles of various types. This is what is called demilitarisation." 12/
@Mylovanov - Tymofiy Mylovanov
I don't know if these numbers are accurate, but the cost of this "demilitarization" is "depopulation of Russia". Putin decision to invade Ukraine has killed over 300 000 Russians according to the US intelligence estimated declassified this week. The loss of tanks is over 2K too /
@Mylovanov - Tymofiy Mylovanov
6. Putin warns that Western military aid to Ukraine may end one day: "everything they get is a freebie, and I apologise for such talk. But these freebies may end one day" 13/
@Mylovanov - Tymofiy Mylovanov
It is true that currently the allies are having a tough time getting its act together. But democracies are stronger than autocracies and while the political process is slow and painful, things will get through If Russia starts winning, the West will mobilize again 14/
@Mylovanov - Tymofiy Mylovanov
In any case, Russian economy and military is no match to NATO and the West. Putin is delusional trying to argue that Russia is stronger 15/
@Mylovanov - Tymofiy Mylovanov
7. Putin indicates Russia will dictate the terms of any settlement, not compromise. There is nothing new here. Russia doesn't want to compromise. Most people understand it for now. And this Russian arrogance is the source of its demise. 16/
@Mylovanov - Tymofiy Mylovanov
8. Putin rules out any second mobilization of troops "So what do we need mobilisation for? There is absolutely no need for it today." To me this speaks of a political vulnerability. Remember that 15K killed in Afghanistan plus the arms race brought the Soviet Union down. 17/
@Mylovanov - Tymofiy Mylovanov
Russia has already lost 300K people in Ukraine and is sanctioned. And Russia today is no match to the USSR. It might have already lost and even dissolved, but we just simply don't know it yet. It is like cancer - it will take time to work its way through. 18/
@Mylovanov - Tymofiy Mylovanov
9. Putin describes the conflict as a "civil war between brothers", indicating Ukraine should reconcile with Russian domination. "Russians and Ukrainians are essentially one people. What is happening now is an immense tragedy; it is like a civil war between brothers" 19/
@Mylovanov - Tymofiy Mylovanov
First of all, it is a man made tragedy. This man is Putin. And no Russians and Ukrainians are not the same people. We have different cultures. Russian culture is to tolerate, respect, and obey a cruel tsar. Ukrainian culture is that of freedom and challenge to authority 20/
@Mylovanov - Tymofiy Mylovanov
Russia values the glory of state above the freedom of a human. Ukraine values exactly the opposite. 21/
@Mylovanov - Tymofiy Mylovanov
10. Putin presents a defiant message that Russia is weathering sanctions and Ukraine cannot defeat it militarily with Western help. "Our main objective is to strengthen sovereignty... economic security and sovereignty... and the growing capability of our security component." 22/
@Mylovanov - Tymofiy Mylovanov
it is true that sanctions have limited effect and Russia has sufficient resources to continue to fight the war. It is also a scandal that the world continue to trade with Russia paying it 100s of billions enabling the war. But there are limits to the resilience of their economy /
@Mylovanov - Tymofiy Mylovanov
One day the war will be over, Ukraine will be peaceful, and the future generations of Russians will be ashamed of the atrocities their parents have committed. The world will prosecute war criminals and the international law will be restored. Let's make it happens sooner! X

If Tucker Carlson interviews Putin how many years will it take for people to analyze what he’s saying in a term that’s even slightly more complex than “good guys vs bad guys?” https://t.co/kOQi55LD5z
@rustyrockets - Russell Brand
So, we agree right? It's OK that Tucker Carlson conducts this interview with Putin and it's OK that we decide for ourselves whether we agree with its contents. On the show today, we took a deeper dive into the significance and context of this interview, the reaction of the media AND its potential implications.
@Twitermytweet - Mr. Bigglesworth 𝕏
Bombshell: Tucker Carlson’s Exclusive Interview with Vladimir Putin in Moscow – Full Transcript Released! TUCKER: What would you tell the people running America? PUTIN: 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. TUCKER: Would you visit Washington? PUTIN: Yes, of course. I’ve been to the United States Before. I enjoy visiting and have met with every president except Joe Biden. If invited I would go. Yes. TUCKER: What is your opinion of President Biden? PUTIN: We’re convinced he is not running the country. Let’s say we have good sources that confirm that but it’s plain for anyone to see for themselves. The US has now entered into a dark period. It has unaccountable leadership. TUCKER: Do you think Joe Biden won fair and square? PUTIN: I would rather not get into domestic American politics but will say my embassy reported your southern border was better run than that 2020 election. (chuckles) TUCKER: One poll in America shows you more popular than Biden – any reaction? PUTIN: (laughs) I don’t know if that should be taken seriously but Russian ideals have support. We believe in traditional values; marriage is between a man and a woman: men are men and women are women. TUCKER: Who would you like to see as the next president of the United States? PUTIN: Once again it is not for us to say or get involved. Contrary to longstanding accusations we do not meddle in your elections. We don’t need to because the same people end up running things anyway. TUCKER: Why did you invade Ukraine? PUTIN: Did we invade or were we invaded? Look at the history. Look at the people living there. Historically it’s we who were invaded and are simply fighting back now. The lands and people are Russian and we will have again what was always ours. TUCKER: How will you fee lol if Trump won again? PUTIN: We had good relations when Mr. Trump was president. There was no war. Our relations were at a high point. That said nothing is predictable or stats the same. We will have to see. PUTIN: I remember laughing to his jokes when he was a comedian in Russia. Let’s go back to laughs. 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, I’m sure you know the names better than us. TUCKER: So are you saying your adversary is not Joe Biden but the people behind him? PUTIN: Exactly. Joe Biden may not even be aware of what’s 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 are championing the BRICS? PUTIN: The BRICS would exist anyway. It’s a natural reaction to the western trading block. It’s a counterweight. When the dollar is weaponized against states there will be a natural alternative to it. That’s what we want. TUCKER: Is that why you and Russia have been targeted? PUTIN: It’s more complicated than that but I’m sure it’s 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 isn’t Russia weaker and more vulnerable economically than the US? PUTIN: When you look at the size of economies we are small. But few people take into account our vast natural resources. Russia has over $80 trillion in the ground. No country even comes close to us. TUCKER What is your opinion of President Biden?
@Twitermytweet - Mr. Bigglesworth 𝕏
PUTIN: We are convinced he is not running the country. Let’s say we have good sources that confirm that but it’s 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 don’t 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 presidents but you do not change those in real power. That is who we have to deal with. Joe Biden is just a facade for this power structure. TUCKER: Let’s turn to politics. What’s your opinion of President Biden? PUTIN: We’re convinced he’s not running the country. Let’s say we have sources that confirm that but it’s plain for anyone to see. The US has now entered into a dark period. It has unaccountable leadership. So who do you think is running the US then? PUTIN: The same forces which have always run it. You may change presidents but you do not change those in real power. That is who we have to deal with. Joe Biden is just a facade for this power structure. TUCKER: Let’s turn to politics. What’s your opinion of President Biden? PUTIN: We’re convinced he’s not running the country. Let’s say we have sources that confirm that but it’s plain for anyone to see. The US has now entered into a dark period. It has unaccountable leadership. TUCKER: But there have been persistent reports you have cancer? PUTIN: I assure you those rumors are false. if I had cancer and beat it I would share the good news and the cure with the world. TUCKER: Thank you for sitting down with us. How is your health?There have been some rumors PUTIN: I’m glad to talk to you and through you to the American people. I’m fine. I feel good. Given my years I’m in the best of health but father time. TUCKER: Let’s turn to politics. What’s your opinion of President Biden? PUTIN: We’re convinced he’s not running the country. Let’s say we have sources that confirm that but it’s plain for anyone to see. The US has now entered into a dark period. It has unaccountable leadership. TUCKER: When you say some fear him are you saying Musk has enemies? PUTIN: It’s clear to see he has enemies within the United States – the way he was stripped of $50 billion in assets – we would call that being signaled out for special treatment. It’s unfair on the face of it. TUCKER: Didn’t you fear Musk when he started supplying Ukraine with Starlink gear? PUTIN: If anyone seriously thinks a few internet dishes can defeat the might of Russia – well what can I say. But no, we did not fear or blame Mr. Musk. The government didn’t give him much choice. TUCKER: Alot has changed in the world. What’s your opinion of Elon Musk? PUTIN: We see Mr. Musk as a businessman – a highly successful one. He’s built a great fortune and a huge following. He’s a unique thinker with a force of personality who cannot be bought. Some fear that. TUCKER: Do you any advice for Elon? PUTIN: I would say continue on. Do not be intimidated. But if the going ever gets too rough there is Russia. We would gladly open our doors to you. We have welcomed American businessmen before and would value someone of Mr. Musk’s caliber. TUCKER: Let’s turn to Trump. First tell me how you feel about the current situation with the likelihood of him being reelected? PUTIN: It would be a bit strange and out of order but we are well prepared. He has promised to end the fighting in Ukraine and we support that notion. TUCKER: How could he end you end the war so fast? PUTIN: For one thing he never insulted us. He has a great respect for Russia. We would start from a position of friendship and trust – then all problems are solvable. We could get it done. Trust me. TUCKER: Are you referring to Biden calling you a killer?
@Twitermytweet - Mr. Bigglesworth 𝕏
PUTIN: We have been the recipients of numerous insults and slurs going back a few generations of politicians. Mr. Trump was a refreshing break from that. He is very popular in Russia. Perhaps that won’t do him any good. Are you in any communication with Trump? PUTIN: No. Of course not. But should he win again our lines of communication would open up instantly whereas right now we have no dialogue with President Biden. TUCKER: That’s shocking to me. No o e from the White House has been in contact with you? PUTIN: That’s right. No one has called since we congratulated Mr. Biden on his election victory. It’s puzzling to us that communications are colder now than during the cold war. TUCKER: How do you think the 2024 election will go? PUTIN: We are just observing. It’s our responsibility to be vigilant since it will impact the world. We are hoping the election is carried out in a way where the results can be believed. In Russia we do not have mail in ballots. TUCKER: Let’s turn to China. What is your relationship like? PUTIN: President Xi and I are especially close. Russia and China are enjoying good relations as of now which is an obvious asset to us sunce they are one of our biggest energy partners. We will continue to be friends. TUCKER: There are accusations China has helped you in the war in Ukraine. Is that true? PUTIN: That is not something I can discuss. Let’s just say Russia isn’t an isolated power. That strategy has failed. We have more allies and trading partners now than before the war started. TUCKER: Do you ever contemplate a situation where Russia and China may join forces against the United States? PUTIN: Do you mean economically or militarily? I would say we want neither. It’s not in our interest to clash with the US because all sides would lose in such a conflict. TUCKER: Speaking of conflicts, what is your take on the Gaza situation? PUTIN: It is really unfortunate. The Palestinians are being devastated. Israel is acting in an unconstrained manner. It shows the terrible double standards in the world. Where are the sanctions on Israel? TUCKER: Is Russia involved in any way especially through your alliance with Iran? PUTIN: No. Of course not. We do not oppose the existence of Israel but at the same time we support the right of the Palestinians to self determination. We want to be even handed. TUCKER: Are you following what’s happening on the US southern border? PUTIN: Actually yes. It’s part of my daily briefing. We Russians find it ironically amusing your Congress will spend billions protecting foreign borders but neglect it’s own. It’s quiet laughable but deadly. TUCKER: Deadly? How do you mean that? PUTIN: Deadly serious of course. People are dying daily crossing your border in an uncontrolled way. It is a free-for-all. The world hasn’t seen anything like it in the modern era – reckless for a country to throw itself wide open like that. TUCKER: Is Russia taking advantage of the border situation in any way? PUTIN: No. Why should we. We don’t have to do a thing. America is self destructing. And as Napoleon said, don’t stand in the way of your enemy destroying themselves. TUCKER: So then you do see America as an enemy? PUTIN: That was just a saying but the current administration is definitely not a friend. TUCKER: Can that be changed? PUTIN: That’s why you have elections. TUCKER: Thank you again for continuing to engage with me on so many different topics. Can we get even more interesting so to speak? PUTIN: For sure. I am open to most subjects. TUCKER Let’s touch on climate change. It’s still being pushed in the United States and Europe. What’s your position? PUTIN: Humanity is not even a Type 1 civilization on the Kardashev scale. If we can’t harness the energy potential of the planet how can we control the climate? TUCKER: Are you at least concerned?
@Twitermytweet - Mr. Bigglesworth 𝕏
PUTIN: I’m more concerned with real issues. Climate change is not one of them. The Earth does a fairly good job of regulating itself. And if Siberia gets a little warmer all the better. More farmland for Russia. TUCKER: But what would you tell the true believers who’re convinced we’re headed for disaster? PUTIN: I’d tell them worrying about climate change is like complaining about the weather. If you don’t like the climate, move. If you are worried about the weather, get an umbrella. TUCKER: Along those lines, how do you see the transgender movement? PUTIN: It’s interesting to me that all the things which use to be a target of blackmail are now badges of honor. In Russia there are no laws either way but we certainly do not force our children into it. TUCKER: Russia has been criticized for its ant gay laws and as being unfriendly to LGBTQ+. PUTIN: We have laws which protect our children. And we do not drape our embassies in rainbow flags. That’s correct. Otherwise we do not interfere in the private lives of adult citizens. TUCKER: Do you follow American sports? We are about to have the Super Bowl. PUTIN: In fact yes. Russia is a great sporting nation. We hosted the Winter Olympics and the World Cup fairly recently. We like all sport. TUCKER: What do you think of American football? PUTIN: It’s an interesting sport. But why do you call it football when the ball is almost always played with the hands? It also seems needlessly violent at times. TUCKER: That’s true. Will you be watching? PUTIN: The game will not be shown in Russia. TUCKER: So you won’t get to see Taylor Swift either then? PUTIN: No. We have been given a reprieve. TUCKER: Thank you President Putin for your time. Text by AMG-NEWS

@RealAlexJones The real reason they don't want Tucker interviewing Puťìñ. Putin on ideological differences between Americans and Rusšìans. https://t.co/pH25DSzlB0
@DravenNoctis - Noctis Draven
I finished the Tucker/Putin interview and I must admit, I never grow tired of hearing Putin speak. It is refreshing to see a leader who obviously makes his own decisions able to speak and explain them. In the west you will never see a president or any leader for that matter give an interview for over two hours and still do most of the speaking. Western leaders are usually highly unqualified and don't know enough about their area to speak for long, read from scripts or if they do seem competent they are usually lying so they keep questions and interviews short on purpose, so this was refreshing. In summary, Putin revealed he has a very encyclopedia like knowledge of Eastern European history while explaining that technically Ukraine isn't even a sovereign country but more allowed to exist independently by Russia and Poland. This explains of course why Ukrainians and Russians share not only a language but much more. It was a long winded history lesson but important for western audiences to see so that they understand that Russia is not invading Ukraine but instead keeping NATO from expanding on its borders and rooting out Nazism that was being cultivated and nurtured by the west so that the west could turn it against Russia via proxy wars. Putin also explained why the Nazism that makes up a large part of Ukrainian culture is a threat to Russia and not simply a belief system Russia wishes to control. Common sense dictates that over 30 million Russians died fighting to defeat the Nazis, so of course allowing Nazi culture and society to spring up literally next door is dangerous and sensitive for Russians. Pair that with the fact that the US and west are all too happy to take the Nazis in Ukraine and point that rage and anger at Russia and you have yet another reason for the SMO. Ultimately Putin echoed what most of us already know, that Ukraine had been fine and peaceful on its own for many years up until the 2014 coup instigated by the CIA and collective west to install Ukrainian leadership who would better play ball with western interests. Unfortunately that new leadership would be the neo-nazi regime we know today that Russia fights against. From 2014, 2016 and on the new Ukrainian leadership would begin to punish and purge Russians living in Ukraine by violent and deadly means. This was also explained in depth by Putin to Tucker along with the many promises the west and its various leaders made to Putin and Russia that they would NOT expand NATO further onto Russia. However the once peaceful Ukraine had now begun preparing to receive NATO bases and was already receiving training. What was taking place was the west was building an army, a proxy NATO army. Between training, arming and cultivating the Nazi ideology they would have all they needed to launch their attack at Russia 🇷🇺 A last ditch effort for peace was made with the infamous peace deal that both sides had agreed upon. Boris Johnson however, came to Kiev and convinced Zelensky to tear up the agreement and stand against Russia. Thus between the cries for help by Russians being murdered by the UAF and the reality of NATO but a stones throw from Russian borders Russia knew action was needed and the SMO began and continues. Putin also talked in depth about economy, about BRICS and the Orthodox Christian beliefs. Tucker tried to talk to putin about the imprisoned American reporter as well and Putin agreed to wanting to find a solution for this. It was a much needed interview that would at long last allow westerners and Americans to hear Putin in his own words without being censored and filtered by the owned and controlled western mainstream media. I do not think this interview will change courses already charted or change events to come but at least it allows people to hear both sides of a very complicated issue. All in all, I'd highly recommend people watch it. #UkraineRussianWar #ukraine #russia #Zelensky #putin #nato #TuckerCarlson #PutinInterview

This is the most impactful excerpt from the entire interview and perfectly summarizes the insanity of the current US foreign policy. “Do the United States need this? What for? Thousands of miles away from your national territory. Don’t you have anything better to do? You have issues on the border. Issues with migration. Issues with the national debt. More than 33 trillion dollars. You have nothing better to do, so you should fight with Ukraine? Wouldn’t it be better to negotiate with Russia?” Putin is correct. The US should be concerned with our own issues and not funding wars on the other side of the planet. Sounds kind of like “America First”.

A 🇨🇦 perspective on Putin’s #TuckerCarlson Interview Putin started off with a story of deep historical and cultural knowledge of Ukraine, however as I am of Ukrainian descent myself I noticed he conveniently left out Holodomor. This was a brutal starvation and socialist re-education of Ukrainians just prior to WWII by Stalin, which was overshadowed by the holocaust and events of WWII, even though it was an equally brutal genocide. To me this was a red flag that his account of history was not entirely honest, and certainly one sided. One thing that separates Holodomor from other genocides is that is was done purely in the name of the communist ideal, not territorial, religious or racial division. It was an ideological persecution, the same type we see from Trudeau and the #woke authoritarians in North America. Join the socialist ideal …or else. In his time as president, Putin expressed he felt US Presidential will was repeatedly undermined by US administrative will (the swamp) in his face to face negotiations with multiple US presidents. It seems to me Putin is in a position of advantage diplomatically due to dealing with multiple negotiations and administrations, learning from mistakes and gaining experience over the years whereas every new president is starting out more or less from scratch. In Putin’s eyes the war was not started in 2022, but an attempt to end a war which was initiated by the CIA and NATO. Ukraine’s invasion is a response to repeated rejection of Russia peace initiatives after the fall of the USSR, and NATO’s promise not to expand eastward which was broken 5 times with expansions eastward. This was brought to a head by the CIA initiated coup of Ukraine in 2014 and the military fallout in the Donbas region, and finally triggered by Ukraine’s invitation to join NATO on 2022 forcing Putin’s invasion. In short, Putin sees NATO as repeatedly rejecting Russian attempts at co-operation, followed by NATO claiming territory which is in his view is both historically and culturally Russian, suddenly becoming a NATO member state and posing a direct threat to Russia. I also infer he felt USA was weak under Biden and it was Russia’s first chance to respond from the primary aggression that occured in 2014. Putin claimed he has no territorial aspirations outside of Ukraine, and in order for him to consider an end to the war if will require the “De-Nazification” of Ukraine. Embarrassingly, the Canadian liberal govt has antagonized the situation with their incompetence and attempts at virtue signalling via the invitation of Yaroslav Hunka to Canadian parliament and the stupidity of our politicians to applaud him. He cited this blunder as a recent provocation and example of whY Neo-Naziism needs to be eliminated within Ukraine. Canada must to get rid of Trudeau. With respect to Nordtsream he says responsibility lies with someone who had the will and submarine capability to blew it up. (USA) and claims there is an alternate route for gas to be supplied to Germany from Russia through Poland, Putin is willing to help germany out, but Ukraine refuses to allow Germany to regain energy stability. Putin says the worlds security should be shared and is not meant for the “golden billion” and that is the only scenario the world could become stable, sustainable, and predictable and the world is going through a period of severe disease. Putin then pointed to the US dollar as a tool for foriegn policy abuse as one of the biggest mistakes of US political leadership. By freezing assets and restricting Russia’s transactions they have driven Russia to embrace the yuan, and scared other nations into downsizing their US reserve funds. He alluded to Russia and China’s border to be stable and peaceful, from my perspective it seemed that it is a similar situation as the US-Canada border. Their trade has surpassed 230 billion yearly and is rich in hi tech, energy, scientific research and development
@YukonStrong - Yukon Strong 🇨🇦🇺🇸
In regards to global economy Putin assessed as so: In 1992 the G7 was 47% and BRICS 16% In 2022 G7 is 30% and BRICS has finally surpassed it Putin claims this shift will continue due to US aggression, sanctions and currency control, while the rest of the world focuses on trade, cooperation and growth When posed with the question if a new administration could change the war in Ukraine he responded it would Come down to US foriegn policy stopping sanctions, restrictions, bombing and power abuse He touched on AI, genetic and cybernetic enhanced humans and how they will change the future forever, and as there are no current rules surrounding this fields things are growing dangerous. He alluded to the rise of the global nuclear threat being Akin to the rise of AI, genetic & other fields destroying humanity that an international treaty will be needed to prevent global destruction. When asked if he would release Even Gershkovich from the WSJ as gesture of good faith, Putin said he is open to it, but it will require good will on behalf of USA first. Putin is definitely using him as a hostage bargaining chip, but insisted he is not an innocent reporter and was in fact engaged in espionage, caught seeking classified documents in secret while working for US Special Services. When pressed on Ukraine conflict leading to larger global conflict, Putin sees Ukraine as a US satellite state and that the aggression is coming from NATO, Europe and the west and it will require Ukraine to come to the negotiation table to end the conflict. He claimed the war could have been ended 18 months ago but former UK president Johnson interfered with a Ukrainian treaty signed in Istanbul. He says there is also an element of civil war to the conflict and in some cases even Ukraine’s own troops identify as Russian, and continue to dismantle the Ukrainian Orthodox Church in solidarity.
@YukonStrong - Yukon Strong 🇨🇦🇺🇸
After listening to his statements here are my conclusions, Putin is thoroughly enjoying the fact NATO can’t stop him and will not bend the knee to western will. He sees this all as payback for decades of foreign policy abuse by USA From a Canadian perspective I’ve never felt Canada to be so absurdly weak on the global stage. We are 100% reliant on USA for our survival, yet the USA is losing dominance every year simply due to competing nations having a larger population, bigger economies and better manufacturing. I think western support for the Ukraine war hinges on fears the world is abandoning US dollar reliance more than anything else, and ideological stupidity and naivety by the likes of the current Canadian govt and woke EU nations. I am starting to also view the push for digital currency as not just a tool for power abuse, but as a desperate last ditch effort to combat rise of the BRICS economy. Trust is waning in the US dollar and might globally. Biden’s incompetence and weakness will have decades long consequences. Trump must be elected in 2024. I also view China as the biggest threat globally, including to Putin himself. He is naive to think China is not actively undermining his nation too. I also see our social strife with respect to the #woke UN agenda driven policy, socialism, transgenderism and emasculation of North American men as direct result of Chinese influence to exploit and weaken western society. It is highly likely that China is infiltrating both the west and Russia through technology / espionage and IMO the best thing the west could do would be to completely cut ties with China and out innovate them on our own soil to regain global superiority economically and militarily. To do this 🇨🇦 and 🇺🇸 should enter into long term military, Energy, resource, manufacturing and technology initiatives to compete with BRICS nations before it’s too late. We must get both our nation’s borders and immigration under control and Instill a competitive and extremely hard work ethic in our society I also advise everyone reading this to prepare for the worst, prepare for it now and pray that war does not escalate globally. Canada’s embarrassingly reckless govt and its incredibly petty goals leave me feeling the danger to our nation to be extremely high after watching this interview Is Putin a good guy? Bad guy? I leave that to the reader but I say this with all seriousness, 🇺🇸 and 🇨🇦 are going down unless we change course immediately in almost every aspect of our culture.

@KanekoaTheGreat - KanekoaTheGreat
Vladimir Putin sheds light on Russia's complex relationship with the West following the collapse of the Soviet Union, detailing aspirations for collaboration with Presidents Clinton and Bush, concerns about NATO expansion, a CIA-backed coup in Ukraine, the Minsk Agreements, and the onset of the War in Ukraine in 2014. Russia's Post-Soviet Optimism Putin revisited the Soviet Union's dissolution, emphasizing Russia's initial hope for collaboration with the West. He highlighted Russia's voluntary acceptance of the Soviet Union's collapse, expecting the "civilized West" to view it as an invitation for cooperation. Putin recalled Russian President Boris Yeltsin's praised speech in front of the United States Congress, famously saying, "God Bless America," while expressing optimism for acceptance by the West. Putin's Missile Shield Plan In 2007, Putin proposed a joint U.S.-Russia-Europe missile defense system to President George W. Bush. While the U.S. claimed to build a missile shield in Eastern Europe to counter threats from Iran, Putin suggested a collaborative approach to avoid threatening Russia's security. Despite initial interest, Putin's proposal was rejected, leading to Russia's development of hypersonic missile systems. "I suggested working together: Russia, the United States, and Europe. They said it was very interesting. They asked me, "Are you serious?" I said, "Absolutely". I said, "Just imagine if we could settle such a global strategic security challenge together. The world will change. We'll probably have disputes, probably economic and even political ones. But we could drastically change the situation in the world." He says "Yes, and asks, "Are you serious? I said, "Of course". "We need to think about it." I said, "Go ahead, please." Putin describes how Secretary of Defense Robert M. Gates and Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice visited him in Moscow in 2007 to decline his proposal. In response, Putin explained that Russia would be forced to take countermeasures. "We are now ahead of everyone, the United States and the other countries in terms of the development of hypersonic strike systems. And we are improving them every day. But it wasn't us. We proposed to go the other way, and we were pushed back. Now, about NATO's expansion to the east. Well, we were promised no NATO to the east, not an inch to the east, as we were told. And then what? They said, well, it's not enshrined on paper, so we'll expand. So, there were five waves of expansion. The Baltic states, the whole of Eastern Europe, and so on." NATO Expansion Concerns Putin describes Russia's grievances regarding NATO's eastward expansion, emphasizing the breach of promises made during earlier negotiations. He recounted the diplomatic efforts to dissuade NATO from encroaching on Russia's borders, illustrating a growing rift in relations, particularly in the aftermath of NATO bombing Yugoslavia in violation of the United Nations charter. Putin recalled asking President Bill Clinton about Russia joining NATO. After initially expressing interest, Clinton said it would be impossible after he spoke to his advisors. Putin also mentioned the CIA's involvement in supporting opposition parties in Russia. "The promise was that NATO would not expand eastward. But it happened five times. There were five waves of expansion. We tolerated all that. We were trying to persuade them. We were saying, please don't... We are a market economy, and there is no Communist Party power. Let's negotiate." "In 2008, at the summit in Bucharest, they declared that the doors for Ukraine and Georgia to join NATO were open. Germany, France, and other European countries seemed to be against it. But then, as I was told later, President Bush exerted pressure, and they had to agree. It's ridiculous. It's like kindergarten. What kind of people are these? We're ready to talk, but with whom? Where are the guarantees? None. So they started to develop the territory of Ukraine." CIA's Role in Ukraine Putin took a deep dive into the Ukrainian crisis, particularly the contentious events surrounding the Orange Revolution in 2004 and Viktor Yanukovych's removal from power during the Maidan Revolution in 2014. He asserts that the United States, with a particular focus on the CIA and State Department, played a significant role in the 2014 Ukrainian crisis, characterizing it as a coup orchestrated with American backing. Putin explained that Germany, Poland, and France signed an agreement between Yanukovych and the opposition that would guarantee a peaceful resolution through an early election. Putin criticized the decision to resort to violence instead of allowing an early election, asserting that the CIA's actions were a political miscalculation. "He had no chance of winning, frankly speaking. Everyone knew that. Then, why the coup? Why the victims? Why threaten Crimea? Why launch an operation in Donbas? This I do not understand. That is exactly what the miscalculation is. CIA did its job to complete the coup. I think one of the deputy secretaries of state said that they cost a large sum of money. Almost 5 billion. But the political mistake was colossal. Why would they have to do that? All this could have been done legally, without victims, without military action, and without the loss of Crimea. We would have never considered even lifting the finger if it hadn't been for the bloody developments on Maidan." "The armed opposition committed a coup in Kiev. With the back of the CIA, of course. They have always been our opponents. A job is a job. Technically, they did everything right. They achieved their goal of changing the government. However, from a political standpoint, it was a colossal mistake. Surely, it was political leadership's miscalculation. They should have seen what it would evolve into." War in Donbas 2014 Putin discusses the events leading to the 2014 War in Ukraine, attributing it to NATO's open doors for Ukraine in 2008, the subsequent coup, and the persecution of those opposing it. "In 2008, the doors of NATO were opened for Ukraine. In 2014, there was a coup. They started persecuting those who did not accept the coup. They created the threat to Crimea, which we had to take under our protection. They launched the war in Donbas in 2014 with the use of aircraft and artillery against civilians. This is when it all started. There's a video of aircraft attacking Donetsk from above." "They launched a large-scale military operation. All this against the background of the military development of this territory and the opening of NATO's doors. How could we not express concern over what was happening? From our side, this would have been a culpable negligence." "We addressed the leadership of the United States and European countries to stop these developments immediately and implement the Minsk agreements." The Minsk Agreements Putin explained that current tensions result from Ukraine's leadership's refusal to implement the 2014-signed Minsk agreements. He highlighted Ukraine's reluctance to adhere to the agreements, with leaders openly declaring their refusal. Putin also mentioned former German and French leaders admitting to signing the agreements without intending to implement them. Despite the complexity, Putin expressed readiness to implement the agreements, criticizing Ukraine for favoring a military solution and accusing them of starting the war in 2014. "It was they who started the war in 2014. Our goal is to stop this war. And we did not start this war in 2022. This is an attempt to stop it." Why did the United States and the West refuse to collaborate with Russia after the collapse of the Soviet Union? What do you think about Putin's interpretation of events that led to the War in Ukraine? Do you agree with Putin's assertion that NATO expansion and a CIA-backed coup in Ukraine led to the War in Ukraine?
@wendyp4545 - Wendy Patterson
So I have mad respect for @TuckerCarlson going to Moscow to interview Putin. As Tucker said, watch it and decide for ourselves and I knew right away when he started his history lesson that he was going to be full of bullshit. I'm not posting this to change your mind. But I always stand on the side of evidence over words. I have 2 receipts that fit in with the facts as we know them. Fact 1) We know that Obama and Putin got along great. So much so that Obama's Secretary of State sold Putin our Uranium. So much so that Hunter Biden who hung around with Russians rolling them for whatever he could get, Diamonds, cars cash, was given $200 million dollars 6 days after Putin took control of Crimea. 2) That Jante Yellen gave Putin $18 billion dollars out of the covid fun to soft invade Ukraine. 3) That even after Putin Invaded Ukraine, the Biden administration used Russia as negotiating partners to negotiate a deal with Iran. 4) That Joe Biden himself came out and said a "soft Incursion" by Russia was ok as long as they didn't go to far. 5) That Russia entered Ukraine in the border areas that have been at war with Ukraine since 2014. 6) That after 2+ years neither side has gained any ground but have virtually been in a stalemate since Russia entered Donbas. 7) Zelenskey used the soft incursion as an excuse to call off elections, adopt digital currency immediately, banned the media, locked up Journalists and canceled elections. 8) That Zelenskey is a New World Order liberal who embraced communism, the same way that our leaders here are trying to force our country into aligning with the Russian Federation and not the EU who understands this and is not helping Ukraine fend off the Russians. 9) That even Poland under the recent last administration closed it's border to Ukraine and stopped aiding Zelenskey. 10) Victoria Nuland had a part in hand picking Zelenskey who said F*ck the European Union in favor of the Russian Federation. Receipts: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wiMDmtcQEEM https://t.co/QvSRvpVN1z 2015 leaked recording of US State Dept official Victoria Nuland discussing how Washington handpicked the post-coup Ukrainian government. https://t.co/ewF4owP0wo https://t.co/dI4GAAfcjC

The real reason the Putin interview terrified mainstream? Because the US backed a Nazi coup of the democratically elected president in 2014. The US and CIA started the war in Ukraine and they knew exactly what they were doing. https://t.co/O2q7IroXng
@WarClandestine - Clandestine
In case you didn’t hear, the MSM are now admitting that Ukraine is a CIA proxy. Meaning Putin’s invasion of Ukraine was NOT unprovoked, and that the US are the expansionists, overthrowing sovereign nations for geopolitical gain. The US brought war to Putin’s doorstep. Meaning that every single thing Western media told you about the war in Ukraine, was based on a lie. All the analysis you heard from pompous MSM talking-heads, was based on the presumption that Putin did this unprovoked, just because he is “literally Hitler”. None of it was true. Turns out, Putin’s accusations of Western intelligence controlling Ukraine were correct, therefore his attack is more than justified. Just imagine if Russia funded Nazi militias in Canada, started a civil war, overthrew the government, then installed their own puppet regime, then put Russian intelligence bases and biolabs all over our northern border. Every American would be calling to flatten Canada and Russia. Well that’s exactly what the US did to Russia, and they are pissed. Russia tried to join NATO, they were denied. Russia tried to negotiate non-violent means to resolve the conflict, they were denied. Russia tried to present their grievances of US bioweapon production and espionage to the UN, they were denied. Russia tried to go the diplomatic route, and the West just cried “Russian disinformation”, while they were the ones pushing disinformation. The West also went out of their way to censor independent journalists like me who have been telling you this from day one, because if the public knew this detail the entire time, they wouldn’t have supported sending our tax dollars there. This is going to be a tough pill to swallow for many Americans, but Russia are not the bad guys in this scenario. The West are, and it’s not even close. The sooner we all recognize this, the sooner we can clean up the mess.
@ivan_8848 - Ignorance, the root and stem of all evil
MUST WATCH! ENJOY! Piers Morgan vs Jeffrey Sachs What is your view of Vladimir Putin? Well, I think he's very smart, very tough, and I think he says what he means. In 2007, he said, don't do this. At the Munich security conference, famously, he said, all right, you went violating what I know to be true, by the way, which was not an inch eastward for NATO, promised by James Baker II and by Hans-Dietrich Genscher to Gorbachev in 1990. I know that's for sure the case. The United States expanded NATO to Poland, Hungary, Czech Republic in the Clinton period, and then to seven more countries in 2004. Latvia, Lithuania, Estonia, Slovakia, Slovenia, Romania and Bulgaria. And then in 2007, Putin said, stop. All right, stop. No more. Not to Ukraine. So what does George W do in 2008? In Bucharest, of course. What does he do? He says, guarantee Ukraine and Georgia. And this is Palmerston's playbook from 1853. So we're going to surround Russia in the Black Sea again. Exactly that. Okay, just to interrupt, though, I just asked you what your view of Putin is, and so far, you've just said he's smart and tough. I told you. Any negatives, professor? I believe that the big mistake of both sides is we should talk this out. And now let me say a word about talking it out. In 2008, when Bucharest happened, european leaders called me because I'm friends with them. They said, what is your crazy president doing, by the way? Some who are in power right now, I won't name names. What is your president doing? Why is he destabilising things? He promised he wasn't going to push Ukraine. That's what european leaders say in private. They don't say it in public. We avoided the negotiations. Then 2014 came, sadly, Piers. I saw some of it firsthand. It was ugly. The United States should not be funding overthrows of governments. We did. I know it. Okay. So I happened to be there soon afterwards with the handpicked government, handpicked by Victoria Nuland. We didn't talk then. Then came the Minsk agreements. And then the United States said privately, even though the UN Security Council has backed both Minsk one and Minsk II, you don't have to do this. And so with Poroshenko. Don't worry about it. Then we heard, of course, Chancellor Merkel say afterwards, yeah, we weren't taking it too seriously, even though Germany and France were the guarantors of that. Then, on December 15, 2021, Putin put it down in a draught. US Russia security agreement. I read it. I called the White House. I said, you know what you can negotiate on this basis? Avoid the war. No. There's going to be no war. Mr. Sachs. I said, just tell them that NATO is not going to enlarge. You'll avoid the war. No, we're never going to say that. We have an open door policy. So. What kind of open door policy? We've had 200 years of the Monroe doctrine. Some open door policy? No, Mr. Sachs. Then the war breaks out. Then immediately Zelensky says, okay, we can be neutral. We can be neutral and negotiations start. As you know, Naftali Bennett, informally, the prime minister of Israel and Turkey with its very skilled diplomacy. I actually flew to Ankara to discuss with the turkish diplomats what was going on. The US stopped the agreement. Why? Because they thought we'll win. We can blade sanctions, you know, cutting them out of the banking system. We're going to bring them to their knees. It's a bunch of terrible miscalculations, is what it is. It's a game. Listen. A terrible game. I hear you. What I'm fascinated by, though, is I've asked you to say what you think of Putin. And so far, like I say, you've only called him tough and smart. This is a guy that kills his political opponents. This is a guy who. This is a guy who rules his country like a gangster. I'm struggling to understand why you can't find any negatives for the guy. He's a dictator. Because I'm trying to find peace, and you don't do it the way that Biden does. Biden said, okay, he's a thug. Biden says he's a crazy sober. That's real good, Joe. That's really getting us to where we want to go. That's hundreds of thousands of Ukrainians dead. Can you not find anything negative to say about Vladimir Putin? I don't think that what I say about Putin negative has anything to do with anything. What I'm saying is, as I know. Well, you were ready to call him smart. You're ready to call him smart and smart and tough, but you can't find anything. I wrote a book about the cuban missile crisis and its aftermath. Kennedy didn't go name calling Khrushchev. He tried to save the world to stop the war afterwards. He didn't insult Khrushchev. What he did was sat down with him and negotiated the partial nuclear test ban treaty. We're not in a game. We're not in name calling. We're not in a cage brawl. We're trying to actually not have the world spiral into nuclear war. So it's not that game. The game is sit down and negotiate.

Many Republicans seemingly defend Putin and Russia by claiming that Putin doesn't have any goals to rebuild the Soviet Union and instead it's NATO that is forcing his hand. Recently former President George W. Bush completely debunked that ridiculous myth. We all know what Putin wants. He wants to rebuild Russia. He wants to build his nation by invading former Soviet territory and getting it back. That's his main goal. If you pretend otherwise, you are being disingenuous.

🚨 WATCH: Jeffrey Sachs tells the cold, hard truth how the US and NATO provoked war in Ukraine in 4 minutes "It started in 1990, when US Secretary of State James Baker said to Mikhail Gorbachev that NATO would not move one inch eastward... The US then cheated on this, starting in 1994, when Clinton signed off on a plan to expand NATO all the way to Ukraine. The expansion of NATO started in 1999 with Poland, Hungary, and the Czech Republic. Then, the US led the bombing of Serbia in 1999. That was the use of NATO to bomb a European capital for 78 straight days to break the country apart. The Russians didn't like that very much, but even Putin started out pro-European and pro-American. He considered whether to join NATO when there was still the idea of some kind of mutually respectful relationship. In 2002, the US unilaterally walked out of the Anti-Ballistic Missile Treaty. What it did was trigger the US putting in missile systems in Eastern Europe that Russia views as a dire, direct threat to national security, by making possible a decapitation strike of missiles that are a few minutes away from Moscow. In 2004-2005, the US engaged in a soft regime change in Ukraine, the so-called First Color Revolution. In 2009, Yanukovych won the election and became president in 2010 on the basis of neutrality in Ukraine. In 2014, the US participated actively in the overthrow of Yanukovych. Nuland and the US Ambassador to Ukraine...talked about regime change. So they made the new government! The US then said 'now NATO's really going to enlarge.' Putin kept saying 'stop, you promised no NATO enlargement.' Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, Bulgaria, Romania, Slovakia, Slovenia, seven more countries in the 'not one inch eastward.' In 2021, Putin put on the table a draft Russian-US security agreement. The basis of it was no NATO enlargement. The special military operations started, and five days later Zelenskyy said 'okay, okay, neutrality.' And then the US and Britain said no way, you guys fight on. We've got your back. That's 600,000 deaths now of Ukrainians since Boris Johnson flew to Kyiv to tell them to be brave. Absolutely ghastly. We're not dealing with, as we're told every day, this madman like Hitler. This is complete bogus, fake history that is a purely PR narrative of the US government. We're playing games here. So God forbid a nuclear power comes at us. I don't know what's going to happen, but we came at them."

Neocons and NATO shills insist that Gorbachev denied that the US promised not to move NATO eastward, and he did...at times. At other points, he said the opposite, like in this quote. Thankfully, we still have the minutes from the conference to prove it was indeed promised. https://t.co/hUQEEsil2d
@dbenner83 - Dave Benner, Nemesis of Neocons
Thanks to a document that resurfaced in 2022, we know that the German diplomat made clear that the Western alliance promised not to move NATO beyond the Elbe and excluded "Poland and the others." This destroys the claim that Baker's comments pertained only to Germany. https://t.co/Hw8rOKHBzq

This fact was widely acknowledged until recent years, when the corporate media swept it under the rug or called it "disinformation." There was a time when the top diplomats and the coldest Cold Warriors in the US warned against NATO expansion. https://t.co/0wxFeS553n
@dbenner83 - Dave Benner, Nemesis of Neocons
Even the head of NATO at the time, Jens Stoltenberg, admitted that Putin drew up a draft treaty insisting on no NATO expansion eastward. Then he bragged about how NATO defied his wishes. Basically what they call us "conspiracy theorists" for saying. https://t.co/nAcZLAVNQi

🔥WOW. Putin tells Oliver Stone during an interview that he believed that Cold War was over but then reveals that our United States OPS were supporting the MUSLIM Chechens to destabilize Russia. When he brought it up to George Bush w/ names & proof he said Bush was upset to find this out and said he would look into it. Instead he got a letter from the CIA that told him to kick rocks lol. He then goes on to criticize Gorbachev for never getting in writing the agreement for NATO promising to stop expanding. One of the most telling parts is at the end when giving a speech in Munich in 2007 to Security Conference w/ European and American leaders he highlights the desire for implies essentially the U.S./NATO/EU to have ONE UNIPOLAR CENTER OF AUTHORITY, FORCE & DECISION MAKING…ONE MASTER..ONE SOVEREIGN… This is why I firmly believe there are many forces trying to Prevent President Trump making peace. And it also underscores why they hate populism and Trump represents a threat to the elite cabal. Nothing else explains WHY he has been treated this way for decades. He also represents US and our freedoms and liberty. President Trump will go down as our greatest President & I believe he learned so much from his first term that we will make peace despite the forces against him. Anchorage is going to be a historic summit and we are WALKING IN HISTORY.

Why do the jews hate Putin? Why does the mass media spend so Much time trying to rile up the masses to go to war with him? Why does Mark Levin, Brian Krassentein, and Ben Shapiro do everything they can to tell us opposing Putin is in “our interest.” I’ll tell you why. 🧵 1/18 https://t.co/DWNNXAhn73
@Uncommonsince76 - Uncommon Sense
First we must go back and see the roots of what led to Putins rise to power. Remember that the Soviet Union collapsed in 1991. The process of “liberalization” and turning Russias communist economy into a capitalist economy was left up to the planted Jewish puppet, Boris Yeltsin. As you can see he was president from 1991-1999. 🧵 2/18
@Uncommonsince76 - Uncommon Sense
Here is one Jewish puppet besides another… (Yeltsin/ Clinton) and you can see how they were working together for the “new world order of the west. -discussions of economic prosperity for Russia -American investment -Nuclear arms deals -Expansion of NATO.. Many may not remember, but when Bill Clinton was not sleeping with Mossad spy Monica Lewinsky, he was very much serving Jewish foreign policy with his overrepresented Jewish leadership in that area… (Madeline Albright, Sandy Berger, William Cohen, Victoria Nuland, etc) 🧵 3/18
@Uncommonsince76 - Uncommon Sense
Well what’s the problem? Didn’t the Russian people love NATO expansion, economic liberalism, and de-nuclearization? As usual, the United States “sells liberalism” but what they mean is economic exploiting by Jewish capitalist. And Russia was no different. It didn’t take long for the “Semibankirschina” (7 bankers) to own a majority of the assets, and they exploited the Russian people accordingly. And yes most of them were Jews. 🧵 4/18
@Uncommonsince76 - Uncommon Sense
This led into the Russian financial crisis, and ultimately paved the way for a more nationalistic leader to come in. The people were aware of who their exploiters were. They also saw how chummy Yeltsin was with these Jewish oligarchs. Yeltsin was nervous he would be killed during the political unrest, so he needed a strong leader to take over for him, that would also agree to “pardon him.” That politically savvy, and strong leader, was Vladimir Putin. 🧵 5/18
@Uncommonsince76 - Uncommon Sense
One of the first things Putin did as president was meet with 20 or so of the rich men in Russia. (The predominantly Jewish oligarchs.) He told them flat out, the days of exploitation are done. They could still be rich, but they would have to stay out of his way, and the people would be served first. 🧵 6/18
@Uncommonsince76 - Uncommon Sense
Now, these Jewish billionaires did not take to that too kindly, but they shortly found out that Putin was not someone they could simply buy with money, or blackmail with Jeffrey Epstein schemes. Putin started dismantling these Jewish oligarchs from power one by one… -Vladimir Gusinsky -Jew ✡️ -Mikhail Khordorkovsky- Jew ✡️ -Boris Berezovsky- Jew ✡️ -Mikhail Prokhorov- Jew ✡️ This isn’t to say, he randomly singled out Jewish oligarchs. There are still Russian Jewish oligarchs today, but they respect the power that Putin holds. He only went after the ones that were undermining him and Russia, and in doing so he was able to return some assets to the state, and take control of some Of the media companies. 🧵 7/18
@Uncommonsince76 - Uncommon Sense
Now some of you are thinking, well those are dictatorial actions. And “he should allow those oligarchs to exploit the people since you know that’s what democracy works.” But you still believe that democracy is “rule of the people.” It is not. Our modern day democracies are rule by media bosses with a mixture of lobbyist during the political process. (Rule of money rather) As such, the interest of a nation are ground down, and the nation is ran by “oligarchs” or in the case of the United States we call them Jewish billionaires. In 2007, Putin lays out his criticisms of NGO’s, the U.S. abuse of power and continued military intervention, the need to refrain from “nato expansion”, and called for a multipolar world. Effectively, after turning Russia around, he told the Jewish led west, he was not going to be pushed around. He also opposed their Talmudic new world order goal, and he has been correct about the detrimental effects of foreign intervention that the U.S. continues to engage in at the behest of the jews… From then on, our Jewish media bosses, state department, and war lords, had it out for Putin.. and they have been trying to overthrow him ever since. 🧵 8/18
@Uncommonsince76 - Uncommon Sense
In 2008, Jewish puppets John McCain (funded by the bronfman family) and Barrack Obama both have the same foreign policy and talking points when it comes to dealing with Putin. He’s a dictator, and the “west” needs to stand up to him… Meanwhile they slyly discuss how more Eastern European nations need to come under NATO (world Jewish control.) A no go for a nationalist like Putin. 🧵 9/18
@Uncommonsince76 - Uncommon Sense
In 2012, when Hillary Clinton and our state department was lying to our faces about what Assad was doing and why, Putin and Russia were backing Assad. Saying that if Assad fell, Syria could fall into a perpetual civil war, and that they didn’t believe the reports of Assad using “chemical weapons.” Fast forward to now where Syria is a mess and the only country that benefited from Assads fall was Israel. Now it’s easy to see why the jews in our government wanted to get rid of Putin. 🧵 10/18
@Uncommonsince76 - Uncommon Sense
In 2014, the U.S. state department led by jews like Victoria Nuland, staged a coup against the duly elected president Victor Yanukovych. What was Yanukovychs crime? He was too pro Russian, and was not necessarily going to push the boundaries for NATO expansion. So you can see the international jews went to work, with George Soros funding dissidents, the Jewish American media machine saying Yanukovych was not elected properly, and Jewish state department rep Victoria Nuland even handing out cookies to Ukrainian dissidents. This led to Putin invading and annexing the Crimea. 🧵 11/18
@Uncommonsince76 - Uncommon Sense
Remember the “Russian Collusion hoax” of 2017? Did you know that research was funded by a Jew named Paul Singer?? 🧐 Obviously Trump was acquitted, but the intended effect was missed by many. It was to be associated with Russia, is a crime. Remember that Trump ran on “warming relations” With the Russians. Well that was pretty much iced by this fake scandal, and so it worked. 🧵 12/18
@Uncommonsince76 - Uncommon Sense
Then we have the 2nd impeachment hoax. Also involving Ukraine/Russia, but what was the crux of the matter? That Trump was going to withhold weapons from Ukraine…. A no no for our Jewish oligarchs. Thus this scandal provided the same effect yet again. Trump affirms his support of Ukraine, and distances himself from Russia, and everyone is afraid to tell the truth about Russia, or they will be labeled a “foreign agent” because Ukraine is our potential NATO ally. Well it’s not our ally. It’s manufactured state created by NATO and currently ran by a coke head Jew Zelensky …. Did you also know that the guy that “leaked” scandalous phone call for Trumps 2nd impeachment was also Jewish? What are the odds…. 🧵 13/18
@Uncommonsince76 - Uncommon Sense
Never forget how Zelensky came to power in Ukraine and who funded his rise… Before he was killed in Ukraine, American journalist Gonzalo Lira laid out exactly how Zelensky was manufactured and funded by Israeli Jewish billionaire Kolomoisky. And that same billionaire Kolomoisky, was the Jew who had a controlling interest in Burisma… the gas company that was paying Hunter Biden 50k a month. Oh a tangled web the Jews weave to blackmail/ buy influence… 🧵 14/18
@Uncommonsince76 - Uncommon Sense
After the Jews had their Zelensky puppet installed, and they their Jewish Secretary of State Anthony Blinken, they finally pushed Putin to the breaking point. He then invaded Ukraine in 2022. And the lying Jewish controlled mass media tells us, “Putin is crazy” and he is slaughtering Slavs. But he’s not. He’s been very strategic in trying to limit loss of life. And our lying media leaves out the fact that this was a totally Jewish provoked war, for NATO power expansion. They also always leave out the fact that the jews and the U.S. state department (one and the same) overthrew the Ukrainian regime in 2014…. 🧵 15/18
@Uncommonsince76 - Uncommon Sense
And if Putin is such an oppressive awful leader, like our Jewish media tells us, why then is Russia still allowed to be Russian? Putin has outlawed Gay Marriage, Transgender madness, and no one is going to jail for being proud to be a “White Russian.” In other words, Putin has shielded his people from the pernicious Jewish influence that is destroying the west right now. Under Putin, the Russian economy has done quite well from where it was in 1999. Also the debt situation and natural resource situation in Russia is great. Further the Russian Orthodox Church has done exceptionally well under Putins leadership. Meanwhile many brainwashed Christians in the west are serving Jews for the expansion of Israel while our nation fails. Putin even allowed for Edward Snowden to seek Asylum in Russia and has protected him against our blood thirsty government and its Jewish controllers… 🧵 16/18
@Uncommonsince76 - Uncommon Sense
Is Putin an out an out antisemite? No. He is not. He even has Jewish friends and the like, but clearly he is a nationalist, and he is opposed to the Jewish new world order. While he may not name them explicitly, he names them implicitly…. Like in these 2 clips where he describes the “American media propaganda machine” the “bankers”, and who really blew up Nordstream… 🧵 17/18
@Uncommonsince76 - Uncommon Sense
So the jews and the west will continue do what they can to “pray for Putins death” as Krassenstein says below. But America should see through the propaganda. We need a leader very much like Putin if we are to ever overcome our Jewish overlords. If not, we will continue to see non white immigration, transgender lunacy, and wars in the Middle East (and Ukraine) for Israel… If you enjoyed this thread, Consider subscribing to the page! 🧵 18/18

If you’ve seen the circus at the Munich Security Conference this year, here’s a throwback to a speech with actual consequence: Vladimir Putin’s 2007 Munich Security Conference speech represented Russia🇷🇺 openly exposing the hypocrisy of the post-Cold War ‘rules-based order’ and Russia declaring that it would not tolerate NATO expansion onto its borders to encircle Moscow. As NATO expansion steamrolled ahead with Moscow’s concerns ignored for years, Putin warned Russia would resist the expansion. He criticised the emergence of a unipolar world, where the US abused its power with endless wars and military interventions. He warned that the US’ missile defence plans in Europe were a threat to the nuclear strategic balance, which could trigger a new arms race. Russia’s concerns were ignored or ridiculed for years, the Ukraine proxy war and the current dangerous tensions between Russia and NATO are the consequences.

Bombshell: Tucker Carlson’s Exclusive Interview with Vladimir Putin in Moscow – Full Transcript Released! TUCKER: What would you tell the people running America? PUTIN: 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. TUCKER: Would you visit Washington? PUTIN: Yes, of course. I’ve been to the United States Before. I enjoy visiting and have met with every president except Joe Biden. If invited I would go. Yes. TUCKER: What is your opinion of President Biden? PUTIN: We’re convinced he is not running the country. Let’s say we have good sources that confirm that but it’s plain for anyone to see for themselves. The US has now entered into a dark period. It has unaccountable leadership. TUCKER: Do you think Joe Biden won fair and square? PUTIN: I would rather not get into domestic American politics but will say my embassy reported your southern border was better run than that 2020 election. (chuckles) TUCKER: One poll in America shows you more popular than Biden – any reaction? PUTIN: (laughs) I don’t know if that should be taken seriously but Russian ideals have support. We believe in traditional values; marriage is between a man and a woman: men are men and women are women. TUCKER: Who would you like to see as the next president of the United States? PUTIN: Once again it is not for us to say or get involved. Contrary to longstanding accusations we do not meddle in your elections. We don’t need to because the same people end up running things anyway. TUCKER: Why did you invade Ukraine? PUTIN: Did we invade or were we invaded? Look at the history. Look at the people living there. Historically it’s we who were invaded and are simply fighting back now. The lands and people are Russian and we will have again what was always ours. TUCKER: How will you fee lol if Trump won again? PUTIN: We had good relations when Mr. Trump was president. There was no war. Our relations were at a high point. That said nothing is predictable or stats the same. We will have to see. PUTIN: I remember laughing to his jokes when he was a comedian in Russia. Let’s go back to laughs. 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, I’m sure you know the names better than us. TUCKER: So are you saying your adversary is not Joe Biden but the people behind him? PUTIN: Exactly. Joe Biden may not even be aware of what’s 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 are championing the BRICS? PUTIN: The BRICS would exist anyway. It’s a natural reaction to the western trading block. It’s a counterweight. When the dollar is weaponized against states there will be a natural alternative to it. That’s what we want. TUCKER: Is that why you and Russia have been targeted? PUTIN: It’s more complicated than that but I’m sure it’s 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 isn’t Russia weaker and more vulnerable economically than the US? PUTIN: When you look at the size of economies we are small. But few people take into account our vast natural resources. Russia has over $80 trillion in the ground. No country even comes close to us. TUCKER What is your opinion of President Biden?
