Tucker Speaks

He's got a cheek saying they're unpatriotic after that dreadful puff piece he did on Putin's Russia.
I was only joking

So boring. Russia bad is almost as boring as orange man bad. It's probably a little bit more nuanced than that.
Personally I don't give a f about Russia or Ukraine, but it sure is weird to watch the Manichean attitude towards that from a bunch of Westerners who don't know jack shit. If one has a personal connection, then they get a pass.
Even if there's an aggressor, whatever, you will still choose to throw your sons' lives at it interminably rather than accept new borders. Whatever. It's not as if the next generation will actually care, until you tell them to care.
Education is extremely important.

He placed his bets on the better bet. I mean, who knows who he'll be "supporting" next, but I'm sure Trump was the better bet than Kamala. He says that even now.

Maybe. He sure seems to dislike Trump and the Republican party. I haven't voted Republican since Romney... so I'm holier than Tucker.

At some point every thinking person chooses never to vote again, and then they think again, and they submit to the voting process. Or not.

Sure, Russia is complicated. On the other hand, there's not much nuance that I can see to Vladimir Putin.
However, Tucker Carlson becoming outraged on our behalf by how cheap supermarket food is in Russia is beyond stoopid.

Having grown up in the post WWII glow, the 60s and 70s - the US was still the envy of the world - with the biggest and bests. We watched films of WWII that told us how our "industrial might" could be matched by no other nation. Our institutions were set the standards for the world.
That influence has lingered in our consciousness though less true - and in some cases, completely false.
Depending upon how one wishes to rate things, many nations have higher standards of living, better healthcare, higher citizen satisfaction, and even better image in the world.
Tucker's amazement that Russians aren't living a life like Ivan Denisovich isn't too far off from many American's perceptions - folks who visit China are amazed to see a country that seems a decade or more ahead of us in technology - a kind of culture shock when compared to our self-narrative.

I so want the likes of Fucker Carlson and you to tell me what life in Russia is really like.

I won't tell you anything, nor will you tell me anything about my personal life.

I'm pretty sure that's not an accurate framing of what Tucker was saying. I think he was saying that Russia ain't that bad.

He actually said he was 'radicalized' by the experience of finding you could buy a week's worth of groceries for $100. He didn't seem to realise that the reason they were so cheap is because that's all Russians could afford.
Incidentally, my Russian emigre friend despises Carlson almost as much as he does Putin. Take that for what it's worth.

No need to and besides, that’s not what I asked in the first place.
I know full well you and Carlson have no real life experience of Russia. It’s pretty obvious too.

I find watching this bloke wandering around in his preppy attire being amazed at the concept of paying a deposit for supermarket carts so funny. Presumably they don't have such things down in Boca Grande.
Radicalized, my arse.
