So Tucker Carlson is in Russia right now to interview Putin and Kadyrov. At-least, that is the word on the street.
I'm sure the reaction to this here in the US will be totally rational and not unhinged at all.
On a serious note, this will draw intense ire from the national security apparatus/intelligence community. I am sure they would love to lock up Tucker and throw away the key. But I don't think they could manage it.
As for the interview, I'm sure it will be interesting. For people who still have brains capable of rationality and logic, you should definitely give the interview a listen if and when it's released.
In other news, Avdeevka is getting fucked.

It'll probably be the usual softball interview with extra soft question, like, 'why are you such a great and beloved leader?'.

Have you seen the Megyn Kelly interview with Trump? It's kind of funny, in retrospect... knowing what we know now about the Russian's "involvement" in the 2016 election. Putin was quite clear and honest about everything. The questions seem ridiculous.

Megyn Kelly is a corporate stenographer, the typical bobble head pundit.
How does that interview resolve in the claim that Putin was clear and honest about everything?
What a flipping leap

Anyway... He was honest, though... because Russiagate was a fucking hoax.

Putin was clear and honest about everything because only a dozen of Trumps associates were found guilty of collusion?
If all Putin ever said was that trumps staffers colluded, but not his campaign, sure, but that's not the case.

I was thinking about this. It's crazy how the Republican party now worships Russia. Reagan is probably rolling in his grave.

No. I think Tucker Carlson has a very real chance of being held there against his will. Then he’s going to be a hostage. They kidnapped a guy for flying a drone. It’s about the stupidest thing I can imagine for an American with actual fame to go there voluntarily. Like they want to get kidnapped. They’re going to probably try and do another prisoner swap for him. I hope we exchange prisoners for every other person trapped in Russia besides him. He can stay there for a good decade and think about what he’s done.
It’s possible that because he’s nothing but a good Russian PR campaign. They could let him go home and spread more propaganda about how Russia is actually a “super nice altruistic place that wants to help the rest of the world exchange freedom.”
But I think it’d be much easier to just not let them leave and then ask for a bunch of dangerous contractors to be returned.

There is a difference between "worshiping" Russia and giving them a fair shake that isn't rooted in the pathetic, stupid ass propaganda that is constantly blasted 24/7.
But I wouldn't expect the average liberal brain which still believes Trump is a Russian agent among many other retarded narratives to be able to grasp such nuance.
Much like Trump, even the slightest positive comment about Russia is perceived as an affront against God by such people. This is caused in part by propaganda and in part due to the instinctive tribalism that has been such a problem for humans. The propaganda is designed to take advantage of these tribal tendencies.
Hell, there are some here (koods) who would get a hard-on if Biden were to suddenly nuke Russia and kill millions. Because they just hate them that much. It's ridiculous.
You should watch the interview when it comes out, your IQ may go up slightly.

You know it's ironic that the Ukrainians did indeed end up killing Gonzalo Lira and you're still posting these dumb memes.
They beat him and tortured him to the point that he developed a serious infection. Then they refused to take him to a hospital until he was almost dead. Haha, how hilarious.
This is why I always call you out. Like many other leftists you secretly, or not so secretly, get enjoyment out of watching your perceived "enemies" (people with opinions you don't like) have terrible things happen to them.
Sad thing is, you're not the only one. Half the people here would cheer if Tucker were assassinated or imprisoned.

So one of the most conservative presidents in history was wrong about Russia? Is that what you are saying?

You’re the only one around here that blasts propaganda 24/7. Everyone else usually attaches links and evidence to the things they claim here. You never do.
Here’s a bunch of quotes of Donald Trump, metaphoricaly sucking Vladimir Putin’s cock. Enjoy.
October 2007: Trump said Putin's doing a great job "Look at Putin - what he's doing with Russia - I mean, you know, what's going on over there. I mean this guy has done - whether you like him or don't like him - he's doing a great job in rebuilding the image of Russia and also rebuilding Russia period," Trump told Larry King on CNN.
December 2011: Trump praised Putin's "intelligence" and "no-nonsense way" in his book "Time to Get Tough." "Putin has big plans for Russia. He wants to edge out its neighbors so that Russia can dominate oil supplies to all of Europe," Trump said. "I respect Putin and Russians but cannot believe our leader (Obama) allows them to get away with so much... Hats off to the Russians.”
June 2013: Trump wonders if Putin will be his “new best friend” "Will he become my new best friend?" Trump asked of Putin in a tweet wondering whether Putin would attend the 2013 Miss Universe pageant Trump brought to Moscow.
October 2013: Trump says Putin is outsmarting the US
"I think he's done really a great job of outsmarting our country," Trump told Larry King after Putin successfully dissuaded the US from striking Syria by arranging with the US for the removal of Syria's chemical weapons.
If you look back on all these quotes. Every single one of them is factually wrong.
