I would think his main intent was to give insight into Putin's perspective. His opposition to the US's current level of support of Ukraine is obviously a factor.
So why do the pro-Russia propoganda bullshit? Because that's what it looked like to me. The idea that he didn't realise that $107 is worth considerably more money in Russia than it is in the US is hard to swallow unless you believe that he's an imbecile.
I think it was a throwaway comment, a stupid one, from what you've told me about it. His intent was to say something nice about Russia, probably to offset what he sees as an imbalanced negativity in America. This is a completely common rhetorical device. There's probably someone saying something nice about Gaza in a mainstream news outlet as we speak, because they feel it's important to do so. That doesn't mean they're in love with Gaza.

He actually said it radicalized him against the American leadership. That isn't saying something nice about Russia, it's saying something bad about America.
I don't believe for an instant that it was a throwaway remark.
Radicalized? Assuming he doesn't mean he was penetrated by a root vegetable during the interview, that's a pretty strong word for a throwaway remark.

I did listen to a long form interview with him after he got back from Russia, and he did not strike me as radicalized, and the word was not used. I am comfortable that it was a throwaway remark. It presents an easy target for sneering / giggling at him, but I don't buy that anybody is really disquieted by him saying that.

Not sure you see it's possible for anyone to (a) not like Tucker Carlson and (b) not be a giggling woke.

@Doctor-Phibes said in Hannity Offers:
As far as Tucker is concerned, the phrase much loved by conservatives during the cold war, to wit - "If you like Russia so much, why don't you go and fucking live there?", springs to mind.
He's very clear in the interview I listened to recently that he thinks Russia is garbage compared to the US overall. He's particularly fond of the free speech one is granted in America.

Is that the Lex Fridman interview?
If it is, I saw the first half hour or so of it. Amusing that FuCa spinning as to how and why he fucked up the interview. He couldn’t fathom why even Putin was less than impressed.
Lex was great though - just slowly letting out line then reeling that FuCa back in like a fish. Still have two and half hours of it to watch.
FuCa is such an ass.

I guess that would make me an imbecile, since there are lots of people here who don't like him and obviously aren't giggling woke.

yes, it's on youtube for anybody to listen to. Tucker's laugh will drive many off, and I can understand that.
-
It’s not just his laugh that drives me off.
I don't think there is such a thing as a world leader who should never be interviewed.
I agree such is important and it is good that Putin granted an
audienceinterview. Just not to FuCa because he didn’t know what to do with it other than look like a deer in the headlights.Ought to have been a real journalist like Stephen Sackur or Douglas Murray.

I'm not giggling or sneering. I think he's an abject cunt.

Whether you like the interview or not, has anybody else from America done an interview with Putin?

Yes, the leftist and, like that FuCa, a notorious conspiracy theorist promoter, Oliver Stone in 2017.

So what’s your point?

They’re unlike the deeply principled patriot that is Tucker Carlson, then.
At least Carlson is consistent. I always have to ask whether Stewart is wearing his clown nose when he says something reasonable.

We know otherwise since the dominion trial. Horace was describing Stewart, but what he said is certainly true of Tucker as well.

Tucker mentioned the texts calling Trump all those bad names. Those were situational, in response to Trump being unable to provide any evidence for the strong claims he was making about election theft, and which Tucker had been credulously reporting.

Uh, that's pre-war, correct?
-
Uh, that's pre-war, correct?
No. The war started in 2014 when Russia occupied Crimea then immediately sent its contract mercenaries and arms into the Donbas to stir up trouble there. Fighting has been going on ever since. Don’t try to spin it to be otherwise.
Besides, you asked, “has anybody else from America done an interview with Putin”. Oliver Stone is an American citizen and he interviewed Putin in 2017.
So once again, what’s your point?
Wait, I know. You don’t have one. Stop trying to weasel your way around the facts given to you.
-
Of course I have a point. You're just too drunk to notice it.
The point is that no American journalist has interviewed Putin since this war started. And it is THIS war.
Crimea actually has a thin gauze of credibility, although Putin was wrong. This latest iteration has no rational explanation for invasion.
So, whether you like Tucker's interview or not, whether you think it's all softballs or not, Tucker did interview Putin. Putin gave out his side of the story, even if he lied his ass off.
Maybe now it's the job of American media to dissect Putin's answers and show where he's wrong.
-

Really now? I seem to recall having last had a Guinness or two well over a month ago but that’s neither here nor there. Pretty much teetotal as far life goes the past several or so years. But I get it, that’s how you roll.
But to the discussion at hand; THIS war to which you referring started in 2014.
You have just proven once again that you have no point to make in this discussion.
Well, you just go right ahead and believe what you want. It is of no consequence.
-
So now you say it’s about the consequences of your tax dollars.
Here, all along, I thought this particular conversation was about Americans who have, in addition to Tucker Carlson, interviewed Putin. At least, that was your question and I gave you a factual answer. Silly me, but I don’t believe any tax dollars went to either Oliver Stone or Tucker Carlson in the production of their interviews.
Again, all you’ve demonstrated is that you have no point to make on the matter of interviews with Putin.
