Putin did a 2 hour interview with Tucker Carlson which will be mostly misunderstood. This video offers a nuanced explanation of what's really going here behind the smoke screen and beyond the "bed time stories" being told to you.

Vladimir Putin gives an interview to Tucker Carlson to sit down for two hours and now the video of that interview is making rounds across social media. Taking the Internet by storm in this video. I'm going to give you my breakdown of the interview, my analysis, and I'm going to show you what's going on behind the smoke screen, not the Bedtime Stories Mr Putin was telling during the interview. Now this video isn't to bash Tucker Carlson I Don't think he deserves any traitor allegations whatsoever I Don't think he's an anti- Us agent I Also, don't think that the interview should be blacklisted or banned I Think people have brains.
they can think for themselves I Personally will not be showing any clips of that interview because I don't feel comfortable monetizing Russian propaganda. but I'll give you my two cents and my opinion, which is what you're here for now. As far as the interview itself, it was disappointing. It lacked depth and it was somewhat of a Mickey Mouse piece.
I Didn't see any hard-hitting questions, nothing interesting, nothing new. Putin Got to take shots at the US political system, making fun of all the presidents that got replaced and he is still around. He didn't really answer the tough question of will he be okay with just taking the dawn boss or he wants more of Ukraine He didn't really say how the war would end by just saying. Well, the US just needs to stop funding Ukraine and let us beat it up and then the war will be over.
A lot of self-contradicting there, not a lot of questions about war crimes, alleged war crimes, so the interview on itself was very weak. but that's not the point of this video. The first of all, I think a lot of people will mislabel what Tucker Carlson did in this interview. They're going to say it's treason.
It's anti- us. He's being a traitor I Think none of these things are correct I don't think so I think the more correct labeling of what he did here is being a useful idiot now. I'm not trying to insult his intelligence because he's clearly a very intelligent guy. very smart guy.
A useful idiot is something that's been coined by the KGB from back in the 60s and I'll explain a second what it means. I Think he's essentially selling his integrity and selling his name in order order to get clicks and attention and money. and in return, he's giving a lot of stage and a lot of outlets for the Russian propaganda to spread into US media and to the US population, which is exactly what the exchange is. I Don't think there's any sort of treason going on I Don't think he's a Russian agent and I don't know if he actually likes Pu or not.
It doesn't really matter whether he's a Putin fan or he hates Putin It doesn't matter, it's a transactional activity. He gets clicks and attention. Putin gets to spread his propaganda. Now you may like or dislike what he did here, but I don't think it goes to the level of treason or betrayal.
Now my thoughts on this are not going to be popular because a lot of people believe what Vladimir Putin wants to say to the Western media and to the Western population. And that's fine. I'm not trying to win a popularity contest. If you think that I'm being an for sharing my own opinions in my two cents without any filters, go ahead and unsubscribe. I Honestly don't care. That's not why I started this channel. But first of all, what is this useful idiot? What am I talking about? Because I just said that Tucker Carlson is being used as a useful idiot I Want to make sure that you understand this is not an insult. This is not a shot that I'm taking at Carlson.
In fact, I'm talking about the other side. Most useful idiots came from the direction of the KGB. This is a term that was coined to explain somebody who's being used for Russian propaganda without knowing that they're being used or at least not directly understanding how much they're being used. That's why they call it the useful idiot.
The idiot part doesn't talk about the intelligent of that person that talks about the fact that person is serving Russian interest without knowing it unknowingly unintentionally. I Don't think that Tucker is doing anything to help Putin or to help Russia Tucker is doing Tucker views money, attention, he's in media. That's what any Savvy smart media person would do. He's milking the attention for money and Views and growth.
I Can't hate him for that, but he is a valuable tool right now with this interview for the Russian propaganda machine. and this is something I want you to understand before or after you watch the interview Because if you understand these Concepts and then you watch the interview, a lot of things that are going to go over your head are now will be absolutely clear and I want you to understand the concept, the framework and what you're seeing right now with this interview. And that's clear for anybody who's done any sort of research on the KGB or the good old USSR days is a Playbook that is being used right now by Russia the same way like it was used by the KGB it's the same plays it's the same Playbook The idea here is very simple: Attack the US value system, attack the military missions the US undertook, and create demoralization inside the US Society by creating fud fear, uncertainty, and doubt which is exactly what this interview is trying to create inside the US Society Now we have a lot of documents from the 80s from the '90s from defectors. In fact, one of the biggest defectors from that block was Mi Pppa from Romania who actually revealed that Andropov, who was the head of the KGB came up with this whole Playbook saying we have to create a Nazi style hatred towards the US in order to convince their own people that their government is evil and working against them.
So this whole thing is the KGB fabrication that's now being appropriated and kind of updated to 20124 by this Russian Administration And this Playbook is actually very simple. It has two simple stages. Stage number one is convince the population of the United States its government is working against its own interest, that the government is evil, that the government is lying to create demoralization. Stage two is destabilization. Use that divide to actually create a distrust between two halves of the population to make them go at each other and crumble the society from inside. Now you've seen the beginning of these processes in the United States over the past last few years. I Don't have to go back and give you a history lesson, but in fact, what? you have to understand that the ultimate goal of the USSR is identical to the ultimate goal of this Russia Communism was just a smokes screen. What they really want is the same thing that any regime wants of that sword which is to remain in power and spread its influence and cloud and spreading chaos.
and actually doubting the US Western ideology and way of life is a tactic to ruin the society from inside. In fact, this system that was created back in the 60s and the' 70s works way better in 2024 than it ever did for the Kgp or the USSR because this version of Russia has social media and right now we have daily Russian propaganda across Western social media attacking Western values Western Way of Life, the validity of the entire existence of the United States the Bin Laden letters. All this crap. Now you have some paid actors that actually do this for a living that are being paid actively by Russia and its allies for sure.
But the greater damage here is being done by people who don't get paid by Russia by people who do it not intentionally to destroy the US by people who do it because it serves their own interest, people who shield for Russia not intentionally to help Putin but because it helps their ratings and their Cloud which is exactly what's going on right now with this interview and what's happening with Vladimir Putin He gets to engage in revisionist history to claim that Poland started World War II He gets to joke with Tucker Carlson seem human, seem nice, seem charismatic and then you have tuer Carlson saying on social media that he thought that Vladimir Putin in his interview was sincere. So all this helps. Russian Propaganda Now Tucker's interview is worth billions of dollars if not more for the Russian propaganda machine. He also made a lot of money off it and he's going to make more money off it.
but I don't think he was actively trying to help Russia Although eventually, that's exactly what happened now. I Don't have any issue with people who want to watch this interview. In fact: I Encourage you to do whatever you think is right because I Believe that people have a brain I Believe in critical thought I Don't think we have to baby you and protect you from what may harm your soul I Don't subscribe to that camp. now. If you want to watch this interview, that's fine. Make sure you come into it with the right mindset. Don't let them tell you badtime stories. Come in with a critical mindset.
Judge fact, Check everything that's being said. Don't be gaslit by these put in stories. Make sure you fact check everything and think for yourself because you don't want to come in to an interview with the devil and listen to the devil convince you that he doesn't exist I'll see you in the next one.
Super advice!
We donโt need Putin to let us know the US government is lying to us ๐ Biden did it all by himself when he Said Mary Bara led and it mattered!
I didn't need to watch the interview to gather that the US govern is not wanting the best for the US citizens, it's beyond apparent. LOL, the amended smith and mundt act clearly says it all.
You are entitled to your opinion. And noone is fooled into thinking Putin is some kind of modern saint. But you failed to address the single most significant point Putin made….NATO expansionism since the collapse of the Soviet Union. There are numerous examples and the Ukrainian example is the latest. But, I am sure there are many people…maybe yourself…that will gloss over or ignore this provocation by the USA and the CIA. No surprises.
Bravo, Tom! ๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐ Thank you for the priceless insider information related to Putin's regime!
Finally, someone has seen this interview for what it is. Without understanding KGB tactics, you can easily be taken for a ride. "Active Measures" by Thomas Rid is a good starting point for your education about the ongoing global informational war against democracy, which began after the Bolsheviks' coup and has never stopped since. Thank you so much, Tom, for your insightful analysis! ๐๐๐๐๐
Thank you for being real and an independent thinker, instead of a Putin loving Russian apologetic. You're absolutely right in your analysis on this. Putin used Tucker as a massive platform for his propaganda. If tucker wanted to be fair and balanced he should do an interview with Zelensky too.
You are my brother from another mother i swear
Putler telling the world he has long lost his marbles.
He didn't say Poland started WW2. I am concerned that this is the only factual critique you have and your it is based on something he didn't say. He said Poland werent happy with the deal with the Nazis and they pulled back from it and then Germany invaded Poland.
American society needs no help from Putin to fall apart. And during this interview it was shown that Tucker is intelligent for American standards.
If it's really all lies then history will reveal that they are… But that's not what history is telling us is it?
I think there is more propaganda coming from the US Tom
I believe Putin more than the Evil WEF puppet Biden!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Agreed
I wouldn't say it was all softballs. He asked some questions I'd be scared shitless to ask within Russia's borders.
I disagree , but it was necessary to show American corruption and Iโm an Americanโฆ there are too many people out there that are completely moronic or uninformed
If transacting in propaganda that hurts our country is not treason, I don't know what is. And just because others do it, doesn't make it right.
Thank you for not showing interview clips and for providing your own views.
Smart take. Great channel.
Russian propaganda is not just propaganda. It is full of outright lies. One of my favorite: Putin explicitly said that Poland was guilty that Nazi Germany attacked it in 1939, and he uses it to justify his aggression against Ukraine!
People hate the American government so much that they are now trusting the Russian government. it's insanity to trust any government!
Tucker should be critised, he is expressly pro Putin and anti Ukraine its disgusting.
Well said
100% Tucker got paid and unintentionally he helps Russian propaganda or may be he simply doesnโt care
Nailed it.
Spot on.
I don't think Putin was too heavy on the propaganda, he pretty much pointed out the obvious. As for War Crimes, war is war, no one is innocent!!
