Tucker Carlson interviews Vladimir Putin in Moscow, Russia. February 6th, 2024. Read the transcript here.

I wanted to give this it's own thread. USA clearly engaging in history revisionism. Putin is clearly no Communist, but anyone claiming he invaded Ukraine for no reason and wants to invade his neighbors have drunk the CIA propaganda Flavoraid. These claims are easily certifiable with minimum search efforts.

If Russia had made any expansionist moves post-Reagan, you may have a point. Am I forgetting any? Refresh my memory.

Lol! Wut? You've apparently forgotten the last 30+ years of Russian history.

Moldova (1992–present)

Georgia (1991–1993)

Tajikistan (1992–1997)

Chechnya (1994–1996, 1999–2009)

Estonia (2007)

Georgia again (2008)

Ukraine (2014–present)

Syria could also be added to that list, in terms of solidifying Russian interests in the Middle East, as well as engaging in hybrid warfare across the EU for the same purpose.

It's weird that you wouldn't know this.

😂😂😂😅Yep. I said I needed rest and had things to do. I was too zoomed in on the immediate subject. I should have rested, done my things and come back with a clear mind. So I will, when things are done, sufficient rest is achieved.

Thanks for the reality check.
