Putin tells Tucker Carlson that he talked to Zelensky about the Nazis in Ukraine and asked why he was ok with that when “your own father” fought against the Nazis during WWII.
“I said, Volodymyr, what are you doing?
Why are you supporting neo-Nazis in Ukraine today while your father fought against fascism?
He was a frontline soldier.
I will not tell you what he answered.”

Y’know how they say that when there’s a huge story, look around and see what they’re distracting us from? Is the Biden drop/situation/chaos taking the eyes off the Putin interview?? Is it just a coinkidink that Biden had an unprecedented presser less than 2 hours from the airing of the Tucker/Putin interview??

BREAKING: Putin exposes how the West uses Russia fear mongering to collect more money from taxpayers.
Putin tells Tucker Carlson, “They have been scaring everyone with us (Russia) all along. Tomorrow Russia will use tactical nuclear weapons, tomorrow Russia will use that. No, the day after tomorrow. So what? In order to extort additional money from US taxpayers and European taxpayers in the confrontation with Russia in the ‘Ukrainian theatre of war.’ The goal is to weaken Russia as much as possible.”

China and Russia's very close relationship emerges in the interview...
The Great Game in a nutshell...
Russian President Vladimir Putin Putin stressed in an interview with Tucker Carlson that the emergence of a "multipolar" world of increased cooperation and shared responsibility is inevitable.
Putin said US elites have responded aggressively with "force, sanctions, pressure, bombing, and use of armed forces." He said such actions appear as "arrogance" to average people. Putin said that elites must understand that the world is changing, and the right decisions must be made in the right way at the right time to protect the US' position in the world.
Crude aggressive actions towards Russia and other countries "lead to the opposite result," said Putin.
Russian President Vladimir #Putin said Russia has a deep understanding of China, having shared a massive border with the country for hundreds of years.
The Russian president made the comment in response to journalist Tucker #Carlson's concern that China would represent an unforgiving "colonial power" and exercise influence through the BRICS economic bloc.
Putin claimed such fears could represent a "boogeyman story." He said cooperation with China has been good for Europe, Russia, and could be good for the United States. He said the US is hurting itself when it limits contact with the major economic power, especially through the passage of illegal coercive sanctions.

TRANSCRIPTS OF VLADIMIR PUTIN'S RESPONSES TO TUCKER CARLSON'S QUESTIONS:
U.S. TRYING TO WEAKEN RUSSIA BUT IS MORE SCARED OF CHINA
“The West is more afraid of strong China than it fears a strong Russia, because Russia has 150 million people, and China has 1.5 billion population - and its economy is growing by leaps and bounds, or 5% a year; it used to be even more, but that's enough.
“For China, as Bismark once put it, potentials are the most important: China's potential is enormous.
"It is the biggest economy in the world today in terms of purchasing power parity, and in the size of the economy it has already overtaken the United States quite a long time ago, and it is growing at a rapid clip.”
YOU TRICKED US
“Let's not talk about who is afraid of whom. Let's not reason in such terms. And let's get into the fact that after 1991, when Russia expected that it would be welcomed into the brotherly family of civilized nations, nothing like this happened.
“You tricked us. I don't mean you personally. When I say ‘you’ of course I'm talking about the United States.
“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 as bourgeois now as you are! We are a market economy and there is no Communist Party power.
WEAPONIZING DOLLAR IS MASSIVE ERROR
“You know, to use the dollar as a tool of foreign policy struggle is one of the biggest strategic mistakes made by the US political leadership […]
“I would not like to use any strong language but it is a stupid thing to do and a grave mistake.
“Look at what is going on in the world: Even the United States' allies are now downsizing their dollar reserves. Seeing this, everyone starts looking for ways to protect themselves. But the fact that the United States applies restrictive measures to certain countries such as placing restrictions on transactions, freezing assets, etc., causes great concern and sends a signal to the whole world.
“What did we have here [in Russia]? Until 2022, about 80% of Russian foreign trade transactions were made in US Dollars and Euros. US Dollars accounted for approximately 50% of our transactions with third countries, while currently it is down to 13%.
“It wasn't us who banned the use of the US dollar. We had no such intention. It was the decision of the United States to restrict our transactions in US Dollars.
“I think it is complete foolishness from the point of view of the interests of the United States itself and its taxpayers, as it damages the US economy, undermines the power of the United States across the world."
CHINESE YUAN IS RISING
“By the way, our transactions in Yuan accounted for about 3% [in the past]. Today 34% of our transactions are made in Rubles and about as much, a little over 34%, in Yuan.
“Why did the United States do this? My only guess is self-conceit. they probably thought it would lead to full collapse. But nothing collapsed.
“Moreover, other countries including oil producers are thinking of and already accepting payments for oil in Yuan.
“Do you even realize what is going on or not? does anyone in United States realize this? What are you doing? You are cutting yourself off. All experts say this. Ask any intelligent and thinking person in the United States what the dollar means for the US. You're killing it with your own hands.”
CHINA IS UNFAIRLY DEMONIZED
“We have heard those Bogyman stories [about China] before. It is a Bogyman story.
“We're neighbors with China. You cannot choose neighbors. Just as you cannot choose close relatives. We share a border of a thousand kilometers with them: this is number one.
“Second, we have a centuries-long history of co-existence. We're used to it.
“Third, China's foreign policy philosophy is not aggressive. Its idea is to always look for compromise and we can see that.
“The next point is as follows: we are always told the same Bogeyman story and here it goes again, through a euphemistic form. But it is still the same Bogyman story."
PEOPLE ARE CO-OPERATING MORE WITH CHINA
“The cooperation with China keeps increasing. The pace at which China's cooperation with Europe is growing, is higher and greater than that of the growth of Chinese-Russian cooperation.
“Ask Europeans: Aren't they afraid? They might be. I don't know.
“But they are still trying to access China's market at all costs, especially now that they are facing economic problems. Chinese businesses are also exploring the European market.”
U.S. IS HURTING ITSELF
“Do Chinese businesses have a small presence in the United States? Yes.
“The political decisions are such that they are trying to limit their cooperation with China.
“It is to your own detriment, Mr Tucker, that you are limiting cooperation with China.
“You're hurting yourself. It is a delicate matter and there are no Silver Bullet solutions, just as it is with the dollar.
“So before introducing any illegitimate sanctions, illegitimate in terms of the charter of the United Nations, one should think very carefully. For decision makers this appears to be a problem.”
PEACEFUL TRADE
“We, together with my colleague and friend, President Xi Jinping, set a goal to reach $200 billion of mutual trade with China this year. We have exceeded this level according to our figures.
“Our bilateral trade with China totals already $230 billion and the Chinese statistics says it is $240 billion.
“One more important thing: our trade is well balanced, mutually complimentary in hitech and energy, scientific research and development: it is very balanced.”
YOU CAN’T STOP THE SUN RISING
“As for BRICS, where Russia took over the presidency this year, the BRICS countries are, by and large, developing very rapidly.
“Look: if memory serves me right, back in 1992, the share of the G-7 countries in the world economy amounted to 47%, whereas in 2022 it was down to I think a little over 30 %. The BRICS countries accounted for only 16% in 1992 but now their share is greater than that of the G7. It has nothing to do with the events in Ukraine. This is due to the trends of global development and the world economy, as I mentioned just now.
“And this is inevitable. This will keep happening. It is like the rise of the sun: you cannot prevent the sun from rising. You have to adapt to it.”
.
US RESPONDS BY LASHING OUT
“How does the United States adapt? With the help of force, sanctions, pressure, bombings, and use of armed forces!
“This is about self-conceit. Your political establishment does not understand that the world is changing, under objective circumstances, and in order to preserve your level, even if someone aspires to the level of dominance, you have to make the right decisions in a competent and timely manner.
“Such brutal actions, including with regard to Russia, and say other countries, are counterproductive. This is an obvious fact.”

President Putin Confirms: The United States is not run by its elected officials.
TUCKER: “So, twice you’ve described US presidents making decisions and then being undercut by their agency heads. So, it sounds like you’re describing a system that’s not run by the people who are elected in your telling.”
PUTIN: “That’s right. That’s right.”

I watched a 2 hr 7 min interview and never heard one of these exchanges. What is going on here??Bombshell: Tucker Carlson’s Exclusive Interview with Vladimir Putin in Moscow – Full Transcript Released!
By Medeea Greere Updated:February 6, 2024
Medeea Greere, an independent publisher, is now on Telegram at AMG-NEWS and exists only on reader support as we publish Truth, Freedom and Love for public awareness. Thank You for your support!
In a stunning turn of events, renowned journalist Tucker Carlson has embarked on a mission of historic proportions. With the fate of Ukraine and the world hanging in the balance, Carlson has arrived in Moscow, Russia, determined to interview none other than President Vladimir Putin. Can this audacious move be the key to ending the war in Ukraine and preventing the looming catastrophe of World War Three? Read on to delve into this gripping tale of courage, journalism, and the quest for peace.
Tucker Carlson’s Exclusive Interview with Vladimir Putin in Moscow – Full Transcript:
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.
TUCKER: What do you think of Mr. Zelensky and what would be your message to him?
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?
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.
TUCKER: 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?
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.
TUCKER: 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?
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.

Watched the entire fascinating, 2 hours.
I think Putin was very magnanimous, intelligent, strong and very much a strategist; a great world leader, without a doubt and is an able President who did the most fascinating ballet tonight I’ve ever seen. He knows who is who and where a lot of the bodies are buried. The delicate tap dance he did surpassed that of Gregory Heinz. Being President for 20 years he knows who the evil ones are, but when Tucker asked him to name names, Putin generically labeled them the CIA and told Tucker to investigate. He smartly didn’t name the evil ones from other countries because he has to deal with those countries, especially China.
I'd love to know what Boris Johnson told Zelensky to get Zelensky to back off a peace treaty.
I loved the history Putin Gave on Russia, which is a history lesson that hasn’t been taught here and it’s about time people learned; or at least heard it for the first time. Western bankers funded the bolshevik revolution, then JP Morgan and Armon Hammer asset stripped Russia, condemning the citizens to 72 years of tyranny. When the Berlin Wall fell unexpectedly, the western bankers selected political puppets and organized crime figures to asset strip Russia again. This is what what Putin faced coming in as president.
When Tucker asked how Putin would go about de-Nazification, I was hoping he’d say “We just need to nuke em.” There are more countries currently with more pro-Nazi politicians than just Canada than people would imagine. There a wonderful resource/series on how this started and how they crept in everywhere which can be read here , where the first installment starts at the bottom of the page on November 4, 2021. Will Zoll | Substack (This should be required reading for everyone and especially home schoolers).
I was glad he named Bush Sr. first as a president he got along with well before he mentioned Trump (or just Trump). Very smart move. It was obvious that Putin has more common sense than the entire assemblage of DC bureaucracies put together. Putin is far less dangerous to the United States than Biden, McConnell, Obama, et al. I would rather have Putin in my foxhole than 99.9% of the bureaucrats in DC, especially those who are in Congress.
Tucker did his job as a journalist very well.
BTW: Anyone else think that pouch Putin gave to Tucker didn't really have Russian history documents in it? And on the same day the report comes out that Biden mishandled classified documents but is too old & mentally unfit to be prosecuted?

While the world was panicking for the interview to drop, someone took advantage of the desperation and got a little satirical during the wait.
Often called the WEB of Lies - so much of the "news" is just made up - by both individuals and state actors.
Only going to expand. One reason I liked this interview - 100% no edits.

Funny, I didn't hear that.
I heard him say that they had negotiated, had an agreement, and were rebuffed.
I did hear him say he was willing to discuss, and that there was already an agreement in place that could be implemented.

Saved, to glorify God.
From watching the whole thing, I say if you only watch the
"Highlights clips" you will NOT get the BIG PICTURE.
But if you can't read between the lines you will not see it anyway.
Putin thought when RUSSIA got rId of the USSR and embraced Democracy, Christianity, our Corporate business model and dumped communism that they would be accepted into the Free Western nation's alliances.
Because Putin is well aware of the threat to Russia of Communist China, a bigger threat to Russia than to any nation on earth. He cannot defeat an attack by China, alone. Putin knows this, China wants to conquer Russia because it would double their territory and resources, and most importantly put the border of China on the doorstep of Europe! Putin NEEDS THE WEST on his side!
He is pretending to be "friendly" towards China, because thats his only option right now.
But the USA NEEDS an "enemy boogieman" and has
worked to stifle any normalization of other nations with Russia. China doesn't want Russia as part of the free Western Nations. But, that only strengthens China's hold on Russia. Could it be that, with Chinese control of BIDEN, that China is actually making the USA's decision to keep Russia out western Alliances? China doesn't want Russia and America, Europe, as well as Japan, South America, Canada and Australia allied and supporting each other against Chinese aggression.
