    It appears that Tucker Carlson is still in Russia, or at least somewhere in that part of the world. Little tidbits of speculation are all over Twitter this morning about where he is going next.
    Possibly , Tucker is going to interview President Vucic of Serbia, because he was shown enroute to Belgrade , Serbia after leaving Moscow. People are still wondering if Tucker is going to interview Edward Snowden, or if he already did that when he was in Moscow.
    Edit to add:
    Now reading that Tucker did interview Snowden before he interviewed President Putin, so that interview will be showing up before too long, most likely .

    The package that President Putin gave Tucker was supposed to be some old maps from the Russian and Ukrainian history that Putin was explaining to Tucker (and everyone); but Putin already had the packet (with whatever was in it) made up and ready to hand to Tucker before he even started the interview.
    Possibly, it is not old maps at all, but that Tucker is a courier for some information that Putin is sending to someone in the USA (Trump?), and needed a safe delivery person.

    Another interesting thing is that because the Putin interview was shown on X/Twitter, Russia has now lifted the sanctions against X in that country, giving back a huge audience to Twitter, so this has benefitted Elon Musk not only in the number of people watching the interview, but also in having the whole country of Russia opened back up to him again.

    I am wondering if maybe there are negotiations going on in the background, and possibly Tucker will still be able to bring home the Wall Street Journal writer who has been imprisoned in Russia for over a year, that he asked for Putin to release to him ?

    I understood Tucker was already in Serbia. Who knows? The packet may contain info for Trump but since it is not a diplomatic packet, it would be subject to search by customs. Putin may be offering to release the Wall Street Journal reporter if Trump (or someone other than Biden) is elected, in a similar manner to the October surprise of 1980 and Iran. I suspect Putin would wait until after the election though, as he realizes our elections are no longer legitimate.

    I watched the interview. Does Tucker always have that stupid, idiotic look on his face?????? I wish I could have covered that part of the screen.

    I think it was a good interview. I think Putin skillfully avoided revealing anything he didn't want to reveal. I'm sure he was giving his version of the truth. At the same time, I can better understand his position.

    I have always thought that the US was somehow behind the breakup of the Soviet Union.

    The breakup of the USSR was a goo thing IMO, but what we did after the breakup was not good. We became the bully of the world, forcing our will on anybody who was not nuclear-armed. A sad time for the USA.

    Why do you think the breakup of the Soviet Union was a good thing?

    I could have meant peace throughout the planet, and the fall removed the biggest dictatorship of modern times form the world stage. Instead of enjoying the peace dividend, we saw it as a way to have our way and dominate the world. It freed the Warsaw Pact nations from Soviet domination, so Hungary, Romania, Czechoslovakia, and Poland became independent nations again, able to serve their populace as they saw fit without fear of the Soviets marching in and installing puppet governments. Unfortunately, the USA moved in to fill the role of installing puppet governments. It allowed the two Germanys to reunite and become the most powerful nation in Europe again, which so far has served the German people well, if not the whole of Europe.

    In view of what the news media is telling us now, how can we know that what they told us about the Soviet Union was the truth?

    A lot of what we were told was propaganda, just as much of what the Soviet citizens were told was propaganda. It is how nations stay powerful--by fooling their citizens.

    Corporatists and those who often serve as their mouthpieces seem to be rushing into the Biden camp. The funny thing is that Zeihan himself predicted these changes in alignment moving various interests "to the left" in the effort to push back on populist movements. I don't think it's a left-right or even a Party issue, the GOP simply can't maintain their status quo with a character like Trump and his strong backing in existence. So the run toward Biden is probably more about opposing the people than anything else.

    I'm very impressed with Vladimir Putin, and believe all the things that he said to be true.
    He was simply verifying, from his perspective, the same things I've seen the U.S. doing for decades.
    Almost all of them have been quite obvious, as they've been constantly shoved in our faces through the media.

    Carlson did well to organize and produce this important meeting with Vladimir Putin.

    Vladimir Putin's calm, relaxed and thoughtful, but at the same time serious demeanor was refreshing to see.

    I think that “stupid” look was more of a “what the heck is he talking about” type of look.
    Putin had a good reason for giving a full history lesson but like Tucker, I couldn’t understand the value of it at first either. I imagine that my face was somewhat skewed whilst I was silently going, “huh?”.
    Carlson even asked Vladimir two or three times how Russian history had anything to do with the question, to wit, Putin would answer by saying that he would get to that.

    However, I had to admire Tucker’s patience even if he did look a little unprepared for the very long winded answer he got.
    That said, he had no choice but to be patient because after all, there is already one journalist in a Russian prison so why take the chance on making it two.

    If the vaccines interrupt or change our dna, Maybe that is why all the unvaxed people were invited into all the European and N American countries, along with Australia and New Zealand by the WEF through their puppets. Can we still reproduce after getting planned cancers, for example?
