Tucker Carlson interviews Russian President Putin

Tucker Carlson’s interview with Russia’s Vladimir Putin is causing a meltdown in the West. Some even want to sanction Tucker by refusing him entry into their country. It seems that the West is most afraid of losing the narrative if people actually listen to what Putin has to say. The West prefers that the only news they get about Putin and Russia is what they process through their filters.

The interview was scheduled for an hour, but it went for more than 2 hours. In it, Putin does not give a simplified answer to Tucker’s question about why he sent troops to Ukraine in 2022. Instead, he gives a short history of Russia itself and how Ukrainians became Ukrainians. So it is only toward the end that Putin actually answers Tucker’s question, and by this time, his answer can be seen in the context of history, rather than as a stand-alone event.

The current situation properly begins in 1991 with the breakup of the Soviet Union and the West’s promise not to expand NATO eastward toward the Russian border. The new Russia wanted to join Europe and Putin even suggested to Bill Clinton that Russia might join NATO. This was rebuffed, of course, because the West needed a boogeyman and because they were following the Wolfowicz Doctrine calling for the breakup of Russia into about 5 smaller countries—so that the US could remain the only superpower in the world.

With the West threatening to have Ukraine join NATO, preparations for war began in 2008. The West then gave Victoria Nuland of the US State Department a $5 billion budget to orchestrate a political coup in Kiev in 2014, and the Russian people living in Ukraine found themselves being persecuted and marginalized by the new western-backed government.

They protested, and the government sent troops and began bombing their cities. This is when the actual war broke out. The Minsk Agreements in 2014 and 2015, guaranteed by NATO countries, proved to be just a ruse to gain time for NATO to train Ukraine’s army. Russia tried hard to find a compromise but to no avail. The West was determined not only to put Ukraine into NATO but also to eradicate all Russian culture and ban the Russian language.

Even in America, Russian ballet dancers were expelled and sent home, as if they had anything to do with the war. In the end, Ukraine sent a large army to the Donbas area and laid siege to Donesk City from a stronghold at Avdyevka. That is the point where Russia intervened to save the Russian people from being slaughtered.

The West, of course, treated this as a Russian invasion, as if it had no cause or context.

Interestingly enough, today Avdyevka, the most fortified city in the world, is finally being taken by Russian troops. But Putin did not comment on this in the interview, nor did he comment on President Zelensky’s sacking of his top field commander yesterday. There is some chaos in Kiev right now as Ukraine implodes.
