I did.

That doesn't make it any less what I said it is.

If you bend over for Putin and Tucker any further, you'll be in danger of breaking your own spine.

To be honest, I thought he would be quite aggressive and ask so-called tough questions.

I was not just prepared for this, I wanted it, because it would give me the opportunity to respond with equally sharp answers, which would add a certain character to our conversation. But he chose a different tactic. He tried to interrupt me several times, but still, surprisingly for a Western journalist, he remained patient and listened to my lengthy monologues, especially when I spoke about history. He gave me no cause for doing what I was prepared to do. That is why, to tell the truth, I did not fully enjoy that interview. But he acted strictly according to his plan, and he did what he intended. As for how informative it turned out to be in the end, that is not for me to judge. It is for the viewers, listeners and possibly readers of this material to judge.

The entire answer reads quite entirely differently to your Twitter post. Which is why as I said earlier, most of what is posted here from Twitter is simply pure misinformation from literal Ukrainian propaganda accounts that are often taking money in the form of donations. They're basically encouraging continued Western support for the war, leading it to drag out costing lives, while they sit at home and profit from running a Twitter account spewing out misinformation

I'm going to respond as though that was a serious post.

Aside from the history of how Putin treats Russian journalists who dare to criticise him, if he "was prepared for and wanted a combative interview" then why, out of all the genuine heavyweight political journalists the west could offer, did Putin pick a renowned anti-Ukraine, pro-Russian propagandist like Tucker Carlson?

I think we all know why, but Comrade Roars answer could be interesting.

The world is a different place now.

It was quite disappointing when the second Iraq war kicked off and there was no sticker album for it :(

I would imagine a great many things.

However in this case it's the fact that less than 12 years ago China had no aircraft carriers, and today they have two STOBAR carriers and are currently completing a nuclear powered CATOBAR carrier. So from having zero carriers it took them six years to go to two and have arguably the worlds #3 most powerful carrier inventory, and in a few more years they will unseat France to become #2.

So yeah, I would say going from unranked to 3rd in the world in six years and from unranked to 2nd in the world in under fifteen years is pretty rapid considering what's being discussed. It took Russia longer than that to drop from #2 to #7 and all they had to do was scrap/sell their carriers :p

Some new footage of the landing craft Ukraine attacked. Once it rolled over it violently exploded. I think it safe to say it was transporting weapons at the time.

That's pretty revisionist.

Not only did Ukraine not have anything near the resources to launch an offensive during the battle for Bakhmut but every foreign adviser and many internal ones were screaming for a withdrawal and to let Russia have Bakhmut. Thankfully Ukraine fought on and succeeded in breaking Wagner so hard they went and marched on Moscow instead.
 
The admiral of the Black Sea fleet has been fired. This week's loss of their 2nd last supplies landing ship was the final straw and he has been axed. Russians on telegram are asking for him to be executed by shooting himself with his pistol


Here is a video Russia made, showing their mighty Black Sea fleet.. fun fact: most of the ships in this video are now submarines

Yes very good thanks.

It's interesting, he's basically saying he was prepared for and wanted a combative interview, but was surprised that he actually let him speak and didn't interupt him which was unusual for a Western journalist - so essentially a back handed compliment using tongue in cheek language. I suppose it depends on your views, some people would obviously want him to go there and basically want Carlson to go there and accuse him of being a war criminal etc, other people just wanted to listen to him speak and get his view on the situation.

normal rational people who want journalists to actually do their job yes, he is a war criminal after all who has committed genocide more than once.

"other people just wanted to listen to him speak and get his view on the situation."

no that is just vatniks and Putin apologists want. "please tell me Vald, what is your view on your forces murdering men, women and children in multiple countries and kidnapping children by the hundreds of thousands? You have a long history of genocide?... no Chechnya was most definitely a genocide" but he didn't ask those questions did he.

Vatnik says what? If he didn't have such a large audience it would be funny but sadly there is no shortage of idiots who believe this professional liar.

Seeing the right wingers of America try to advocate for and establish communism in America is hilarious. I've always said facism and communism is basically the same thing and this show how quickly one becomes the other and how quickly the two get in the bed with eachother

From reports I'm seeing, what's left of Avdiivka seems to be about to fall, so although the numbers are awful Putin and the Vatniks will be selling that as a win on the second anniversary of the 3 day special military operation.

Those tank, APV and artillery losses over the last couple of months have been staggeringly large too.
