Tucker interviews Vivek
-
I'm not sure if I agree with everything he says, but his ability to express his views and articulate the logic behind them is pretty impressive.
Make America Great Again!No slogans...I'd be interested to hear what some of our left-leaning members thing about this interview.

He sure can talk. To be honest, what he doesn't sound like is a President. He sounds like the marketing guy in the engineering meeting. I've been to a lot of those meetings. They make everything sound so easy and achievable, but as soon as you leave you know nothing's going to happen.
Check out the bit at 36:10. Tucker's weird. The reaction to the gay question was one of the gayest things I've ever seen.
There's no way on earth he's getting elected.

The tension between gay and trans is talked about quite often by Andrew Sullivan.
A bit like blacks and hispanics?
I was only joking

@Renauda said in Tucker interviews Vivek:
His take on the Russia Ukraine war is just plain wrong. Clueless.
His views on that war all seem based on the notion that the US has little self-interest in the conflict.
Education is extremely important.

But they aren't necessarily mental cases.

Indeed and he is quite mistaken in holding to that notion.

I’d like to see him own it then, in all its implications. Don’t just say “we don’t have an interest in Ukraine”, say “I don’t mind if Russia rebuilds its empire”.

Well-put.

The saying, "Lite is just one damn thing after another," is a gross understatement. The damn things overlap.

He doesn't really talk like he'd just let Russia roll wherever it pleases. He starts talking about it at 30:00.

Listened to him from 30:00 until the yak about populism started. He proposes an armistice along the lines of Korea but takes NATO off the table as means of enforcing or guaranteeing the peace. He also has some naive notions about Russia agreeing to stop meddling in third countries and withdrawing nuclear weapons from the Kaliningrad enclave. I won’t even bother to comment on his thoughts about Sino-Russian relations and Taiwan.
He really needs to be briefed on the reality of the world beyond his corporate offices let alone the borders the USA.
Elbows up!

That is enough for me to reject him.

A bit of a lack of long term thinking, or not thinking along the decision tree of all the consequences. It is then that it is realized that the original idea was maybe not the correct one.

Yes. And it's not just Russia and China. We need to build a world where the international costs of aggression far outweigh the potential rewards.
