Two years ago Tucker Carlson asked, “Why do Democrats want you to hate Putin? Has Putin shipped every middle class job in your town to Russia? Did he manufacture a worldwide pandemic that wrecked your business? Is he teaching your kids to embrace racial discrimination? Is he making fentanyl?” (Tucker Carlson Tonight, Feb. 22, 2022). More recently he could have added, “Has he flown a spy balloon over the center of your nation, over several military basses, violating your airspace? Has he sent over 30,000 military-aged Russian males to invade your country whose purpose here has not been explained.” No! But China did all of these things and Democrats do not hate it. Hillary Clinton, even engineered the fake Russia Collusion story to effect a coup to prevent Donald J. Trump from being elected in 2016 and when he was, thereafter in 2020, a coup d’état to overthrow him and install Joe Biden.
The two most hated men by Deep State Democrats in the world are Trump and Vladimir Putin. Carlson went to Moscow to ask Putin himself why? The Deep State media went biz-irk over the Carlson / Putin interview—here’s why. The hate Putin “bogeyman” narrative is central to hiding all their sins in Ukraine especially their coup d’état about to be revealed by Putin to Carlson. Nothing that LibertyUnderFire has not previously revealed in the couple dozen columns it published on the subject, but confirmation of these was more fully established.
In the first 25 minutes of the interview Putin covers basic Russian history since 862 which explains the relationship of Russia with Ukraine and other nations surrounding Russia for 1,162 years and thus, his rational for their interest in Ukraine and why. Putin explained that “every third person there had some kind of family friendship ties, common culture, and common history. Finally, [a] common faith coexistence with a single state for centuries, and deeply interconnected economies.” Hence, “more than 90% of the population in Ukraine spoke Russian.”
The border after World War II between Russia and the West left a corridor of states similarly tied to Russia and formerly a part of the USSR, between they and the West, according to Putin. He named Bill Clinton in particular as promising not to expand NATO. Putin identified five times NATO was expanded into what previously was their USSR. As expansion got closer to Russia it felt more threatened (“Did NATO push Ukraine into War,” April 8, 2022, LibertyUnderFire.org).
Then in 2014 Viktor Yanukovych won the Ukrainian election. However, his opponent did not accept the election. The US supported the opposition in a coup d’état. Ukraine was taken over by America’s CIA, led by Victoria Nuland with Barack Obama and Joe Biden playing key roles. It became a Deep State country totally beholding to them and Volodymyr Zelenskyy became America’s Deep State puppet. Putin spoke of this coup d’état many times but used the word CIA instead of the Deep State but did not mention any American names associated with it as LibertyUnderFire.org) did in “It’s a Matter of Trust, Biden or Putin on Ukraine?” Mar 2, 2022. Now an American state (Russia’s enemy in World War II), borders Russia, and Ukraine was requesting annexation into NATO. This could never be.
But Putin spoke of another offense to Russia—Nazism. The group that the CIA backed in the country were Nazi. Nazism, under Adolph Hitler, had been responsible for World War II killing millions, it could not remain in the country. Nazification, the prohibition of all kinds of neo-Nazi movements, must be completed. Ukraine, once governed by Russia as a part of the USSR, was now bordering it with its threatening 13 American-financed bio-labs placed almost on the Russian border. “The US political leadership [the Biden Administration] pushed us to the line we could not cross, because doing so could have ruined Russia itself,” Putin told Carlson.
Putin also spoke of the CIA admitting that they “have been working with the opposition in Russia.” Tucker responded, “So you’re saying the CIA is trying to overthrow your government?” Putin answered yes “in that particular case.” He was probably referencing Yevgeny Prigozhin and his Wagner militia group’s attempt to do so last August 23, 2023.
In another interview exchange Putin spoke of having near agreements with presidents of the United States that were eventually nullified by some force. Carlson countered, “So twice you’ve described US Presidents making decision and then being undercut by their agency heads. So it sounds like you’re describing a system that’s not run by the people who were elected.” Putin responded, “That’s right. That’s right. In the end they just told us to get lost.” The CIA is the only organization Putin identified, it is a major part of the Deep State.
Both Carlson and Putin agreed that Biden is “funding the war that you’re fighting”—its lead funder at $72 billion. Putin unequivocally denies any expansion inclinations. “It is absolutely out of the question. …It goes against common sense to get involved in some kind of a global war. And a global war will bring all humanity to the brink of destruction.” Then he asks Carlson, “Do the United States need this? What for? Thousands of miles away from your national territory, don’t you have anything better to do?…You have issues on the border, issues with migration, issues with the national debt, more than $33 trillion. You have nothing better to do, so you should fight in Ukraine? Wouldn’t it be better to negotiate with Russia?”
We end our coverage on a humerus note Tucker Carlson asks Putin, “Who blew up Nord Stream?” Putin answered, “You, for sure. Carlson, “I was busy that day,” Putin, “You personally may have an alibi, but the CIA has no such alibi.” Again, the Deep State CIA. He added later, “In the war of propaganda, it is very difficult to defeat the United States because the United States controls all the world’s media and many European media. The ultimate beneficiary of the biggest European media are American financial institutions. Don’t you know that?”
This is why Deep State Democrats want you to hate Putin and remain ignorant on Ukraine. Because of Tucker Carlson the people now have the non-Deep State side of the story.
