Tucker and Putin shook the world:

Tucker and Putin just shook the world.

Tucker Carlson, former Fox News host, just posted an interview with Vladimir Putin, Russia’s leader.

Watch it here.

It’s 2 hours long.

It’s eye-opening.

So much good insight.

So many good questions.

So much learning about a man you rarely get to hear from.

Unfiltered.

Raw.

Honest.

Is he trying to push his own agenda?

Of course he is.

Just like all nation-states try to do.

But the fact an American journalist could interview him is unreal.

You ever think the Americans would let a foreign journalist interview Biden?

They won’t even let their own media interview him.

Buddy can’t even remember where he is.

Meanwhile, Putin spoke so eloquently for 2 hours.

So much depth to his argument.

He’s lived this for decades and understands foreign policy way more than any American president.

He knows the writing is on the wall.

America is failing.

33 trillion in debt.

Border issues.

He knows the dollar is broken.

Using the dollar as a weapon was the stupidest thing they could’ve done when the war in Ukraine started.

It forced other countries to move away from the dollar.

It forced them to do transactions in their own currencies.

Putin said.

Dollar transactions used to be 80% of their foreign transactions.

Now they’re 13%.

Ruble up to 35%.

Yuan up to 30ish%.

Other countries are doing the same.

There’s a reason countries are reducing their US treasury holdings.

Look at this chart.

Putin knows how foolish it was for America to take them out of the SWIFT system and take away their dollar reserve assets.

He also confirmed the US blew up the pipeline in Germany.

Just like Seymour Hersh said.

Why this is not a bigger deal is still beyond me.

The BRICS will dominate the world economy.

It used to be the G7’s world.

Now the BRICS+ are coming.

Russia wanted to negotiate a peace deal.

There was one ready to be signed by Ukraine a month into the war in Istanbul.

And guess what?

Boris Johnson broke it up.

Probably backed by the US.

Crazy thing is I remember reading this a year ago when the former Israeli prime minister said this.

The interview is in Hebrew so no one in the West noticed.

But wow.

This was then confirmed by Lavrov, Russia’s foreign minister, last year in a speech at the UN. 

Link here.

It means we could’ve saved millions of people's lives, hundreds of billions of dollars in tax money and not had a continuous hot war in Europe.

The military-industrial complex in the West couldn’t let that happen.

Incredible interview.

One I would implore you to watch, especially if you’re in the West.

Rarely do you get to hear one of the most powerful people in the world speak his truth, whether you agree with it or not.

We need to speak more.

Be more open.

Talk out our problems.

We need global co-operation more than ever.

With AI, genetics, cyber warfare and nuclear weapons, every day humanity gets closer to mutually assured destruction.

And for what, power and ego?

We’re all trying to do the best we can.

We’re trying to survive, protect our people and create a prosperous future for everyone.

Everyone wants that, no matter where you sit in the world.

But you need to listen to the other side.

This interview feels like one of those moments that could change the course of history.

Well done Tucker.

Hope you continue to let the most interesting people in the world speak.

This was one for the ages.
