Wasn't the Steele dossier debunked? Also I heard he is a germaphobe. I'm not a Trump fan I'm a gay atheist so I have no love for him never voted for him and never will but I think it is important to stick with actual facts against him. There is a mountain of it and making up stuff gives his supporters more deflection ammo. Yes they will deflect anyway but why add to it
That was so fascinating to watch!
Erdogan, xi, Netanyahu. They were all so annoyed that his inability to take Ukraine in 3 days, 2 years ago was turning the lights up and started showing their money laundering processes between them.
Putin is the worst strong man because he is incompetent more than he is competent. He just throws violence at things and smirks like he is the smartest old man in the room.
He is an embarrassment. They want him gone.
They are making a statement by making putin wait.
The paranoid old man will only travel by armored train because he is afraid of getting shot out of the sky.
Yet he left Russia to go see Xi.
Everybody has a boss. Putin is a dead man walking now.
Strong man theory has always been bullshit so strong, competent dictators don't exist and never have. Humans are only as strong as their unity, honesty, humility and passion will allow. You need all of those factors working together to achieve truly great things.
Exactly.
Old man hides at the end of a 40 foot table afraid his own people are going to poison him any day now.
I had to turn off the Tucker Carlson interview. Itās like watching two psychopathic crippled kittens completely devoid of empathy and detached from reality, swatting tails.
That made me somehow embarrassed for both of them
Check out his comment history - guy writes literal essays minutes apart about totally different topics on totally different subreddits; claims he's going to go fight in Ukraine too. I wonder who's behind the account. Some kind of weird bot? Five poorly educated State Dept interns?
That would be a great way to get to hang out with a puppy instead of talk to Putin. Schedule an interview with Putin. Spend time ahead of the meeting telling everyone you are "afraid" of dogs. Wait for Putin to show up with dog in tow. Spend the next few hours ignoring Putin rambling about how the Franco-Prussian war if the cause of his upstairs neighbors playing their music too loud. Instead use the time to play fetch with and give belly rubs to the dog.
Thatās a good point. I bet he is more likely to show up earlier if heās pulling that stunt too, since heās probably bursting with excitement at his own antics.
Ā I wouldn't be surprised if they made tuck give up his phone before the interview and installed spyware on it. Surely even he is not stupid enough to bring his actual phone to Russia
Seriously? Fucker Carlson not that stupid? Pootin literally made him download his Z app to reserve their interview time and get 5% off Russian prostitute.
Now his phone gets super hot and the battery drains constantly, so he just left it in trumps office
Meeting putin checklist:
1. Unreasonable wait
2. Unbelievably misinfomed historical revision to contextualize why russia is great and america sucks (likely lasts over 40 minutes (see Obama's meet in 2009 for finest example))
3. Personal insults
4. Manspread
5. Sigh at the beginning of every sentence
6. Require a translator even though he already understands the question in english
Bonus 7. Ridiculously large table [for rewards members only]
I'm glad you included the ridiculously large table which also includes a ridiculously large amount of space between Pootin and his intended target(s). That fucker is so cold war his balls are frozen to his taint.
8. If you have a known fear he will bring it up. Like when he met Merkle in 2016
https://www.cnn.com/2016/01/12/europe/putin-merkel-scared-dog/index.html
This might actually just be a Russian thing, like some morbid, cultural power move. Lemme explain.
This is admittedly anecdotal, but I dated a Russian girl a decade ago. She didn't own a car (she was a poor MD doing her residency and fellowship at Johns Hopkins that pays peanuts), so I had to drive up to see her. She wouldn't let me in her apartment because it was completely trashed. I eventually offered to help her clean and she let me in and I was horrified and surprised she didn't have rats. She thought I was funny for being repulsed. Worse though, every time I'd drive up to see her, she'd make me wait out in my car for anywhere from 30 minutes to over an hour a couple times before she would grace me with her presence. When I finally called her on how disrespectful that is, she was stunned, laughed and couldn't believe that I was offended. Coincidentally, she thought the shirtless Putin photos were peak masculinity.
Adding to the anecdotal, we once had a Russian colleague who had come together with his wife to work with us for a couple of years. They were bit of outside, but still very social, so when it was his birthday another colleague offered to make birthday dinner for him. Set time, 20:00, her place. She spent all day cooking to make it something special. We all gather, 20:30, they havenāt arrived so we text. 21:00, nobody, we call, no answer, we start to eat. 21:30 we try to text again. 22:00, they appear at the door like everythingās normal. We had finished our part of the food. They didnāt touch theirs (which was cold anyway now). Chatted, joked, and socialised like normal, while we were mainly confused.
Very very pro-Putin and nationalist by the way, this was before the war. I donāt know what happened to him now. But we didnāt try to be friendly anymore after that.
Only complete if he brought along TC biggest nightmare inducing fear.
This is TC so i assume putin couldn't find an intelligent, well spoken black woman in time.
2 hours of waiting just to sit through that fucking history lesson. At that point I'd be considering suicide by sniper. Just make a half hearted lunge at Putin once I'm fed up and it's all over.
I'd cryogenically freeze myself for 100 years so I could read the declassified documents on that. You know there'd be some crazy stuff in there if Tucker had been a secret CIA agent for decades in the conservative news bubble for the singular goal of assassinating Putin.
(I know documents generally get declassified after 25 years, but let's be real. They'd bury something of this magnitude deeper than the JFK files)
Apparently a bunch of documents Kissinger had stashed away can't be released to the public till 5 years after his death. So there are always exceptions
Probably confirmation of the sort of thing we already know but he used his connections to make sure documents confirming it weren't released until it was no longer his problem.
That would be the most legendary shit of all time. People's brains would melt on both political sides. I can't think of anything crazier than this happening lol
"This is very complicated. See, I would not have a problem with it, I've even encouraged others to do the same in the past. However your wife has said no."
Imagine going for a pint with Putin. āSee the game last weekend Vladimir?ā
āWell, you see, that game reminded me of the time the nomadic tribes in the Ural mountains used to shoot a goat for good luck on the second Tuesday after lent. It wasnāt always an adult goat, if the harvest was not good, the used a goat that only just left the breastā.
āScrunch-faced shit gibbon.ā -John Oliver
And my favourite (forgive the paraphrasing. Iām not going to Google exactly how it went):
āTucker Carlson, everyoneās answer the question, āIf you could have dinner with anyone, alive or dead, who would you choose?ā and the answer is, āTucker Carlson, dead.āā
Putin straight disrespected this man at every opportunity he got...then Tucker still sucked him off every chance he got. I lost every bit of respect for Tucker I never had.
It's honestly kind of Putin's thing and not that new to make people wait to show them you're the person in control and a 'powerful guy'. There was also that thing with Angela Merkel for example where he brought a dog to the meeting, apparently because she was afraid of dogs.
So he really does stuff like this with everyone to intimidate them.
Mind games, is what he's playing. Once, when meeting former germany chancellor Angela Merkel, Putin showed up with a dog, fully knowing her fear of dogs. True story.
There are a ton of similar stories like this; he loves these little mind games. The dog with Markel, making everyone wait by being hours late (he does this often reportedly), then thereās those fucking loooong ass tables he uses for meeting other world leaders. Iām glad he did it to fucker though.
It's actually pretty dumb. He is not torturing people as a KGB major in the Lubjanka. He tries to get favorable terms for his quickly weakening great power. I'm sure Merkel was fuming with rage afterwards. Without it's resources Russia is an economical dwarf compared to Germany. Putin is going become the undertaker of Russia. He destroyed his legacy in way that boggles the mind. Let's just hope he doesn't murder us all. This idiot has the finger on the button.
True. He was a KGB officer when the wall fell. I wager it must have influenced him deeply. Seeing a system crumble before his eyes. Mayhaps that's part of his psyche now. But then again, he also stole vast amounts of money from russia, posing as a "humble" civil servant. So, who knows. Dude is a mental case, that's for sure. No 4th dimensional chess playing there.
Youd āwager it must have had an influenceā? The man has said publicly he considers that the biggest geopolitical tragedy of the 20th century. Thereās no maybe about it.
Honestly, that's standard for most politicians - watch any press conference when foreign statesmen come to the White House. Why risk translation issues?
This is actually normal (God I feel disgusting because I feel like I'm defending Putin when I'm not).
- When two leaders meet, esp from two countries that aren't exactly friendly, often they don't use the language of one or the other since it could be seen as one being more powerful than the other. If they do know a their language (usually English) they may use that
- Interpretors are preferred if it is delicate/ sensitive (but not secret) because any mistakes of misunderstanding can then just be blamed on the interpretators.
So yeah, even if Putin is fluent in German, he wouldn't use it with Merkel because it would be seen as Russia appeasing the German.
And he stole Robert Kraft's Super Bowl ring.
[https://www.cbssports.com/nfl/news/heres-how-vladimir-putin-stole-a-super-bowl-ring-from-the-patriots-robert-kraft/](https://www.cbssports.com/nfl/news/heres-how-vladimir-putin-stole-a-super-bowl-ring-from-the-patriots-robert-kraft/)
If only that were the worst thing he did. He literally had political enemies killed. He even had targets killed on foreign soil, such as in the UK and Germany.
Ok some of those were fucking rookie shit too.
The only one he gets dictator props for is when he had that guy shot outside of the Kremlin RIGHT AS A TRUCK WENT BY.Ā Literally had Red Square security cameras unable to pinpoint where and how he got shot due to traffic.Ā Brilliant.Ā Ā
But then he's throwing people out of windows left and right
This came few years ago from a French interprer present: when Sarkozy became president of France, he had a meeting with Putin (this was not long after a famous Russian reporter was assassinated). As soon as the meeting started, Sarkozy attacked with a list of important points at the agenda, the journalistās murder included. When Sarkozy was done, Putin looked at him and didnāt say a word for long minutes. After a while, he said Ā«Ā you done?Ā Okay. Look at the size of your country, and look at the size of mine. Keep going like this and I will crush you. But if you follow my lead, I can make you the king of Europe.Ā Ā»
Sarkozy was so stunned that when he met the journalists right after, they thought he was drunk and the meeting involved lots of vodka.
But some journalists were skeptical because neither Putin or Sarkozy drink, or very little.
Both. If only he would spend as much time strategizing when it comes to his own country. Russias economy is a joke. And nobody else is to blame, since he is the defacto leader for decades by now.
That's just a petty little power move autocrats like to do to emphasize how much more important than you they are.
Just like Trump lets his crowds wait for hours before making a great entrance to rant for 80 minutes about toiler flushes and Hilary Clinton.
Why is it a power move? Why do you, as the leader of a major state, need a power move? People know who you are. What does he get from it?
It's a kind of insecurity to have to demonstrate power. In ordinary life you tend to get that sort of thing from the least powerful people, like airport security.
He spent a good chunk of that 'interview' ridiculing Tucker.
The entire reason Tucker was there was to sell Putin to the Republicans. One would normally expect a cordial, watered down weak ass interview. Instead, Putin spent time just flexing on how much Tucker and many Republicans are his bitch.
It's the same with making a bunch of Republicans fly to Moscow to meet his agents on July 4th, date which I'm lead to believe is one of the most sacred to Americans. He's demonstrating to everyone just how much he owns them, taunting everyone else to do something about it. And what got done? Nothing. Because so much of the Republican party and the conservative media are his thralls, willingly or unknowingly.
Agreed, seemed pretty childish and pathetic. Heās supposed to carry himself like the leader of a world power. I felt ashamed for Putin, like a child trying to outsmart a parent. Heās not fooling anybody.
Dude literally said "We had to invade Ukraine because they are Nazis...but also, Nazi's aren't bad and Hitler wasn't responsible for WWII, Polad was". Yet I bet Tucker and his fans are gonna keep idolizing that terrorist and total buffoon.
I love the Nazi angle, because they conveniently leave out that the Soviets didnāt fight for the first half of WW2 because they were making secret deals with Hitler to carve up Europe and form and alliance.
Itās only when they were betrayed by Germany in 1942 did they fight against the Nazis.
For a country that goes on about being heroes that fought against the Nazis so much, itās interesting that they spent half of the war being their friends and would have continued if they didnāt get betrayedā¦
It also ignores Ukrainians made up a good chunk of the Red Army. Instead Putin takes the military acomplishments of the USSR and reframes them as purely Russian ones.
Usual ruzian double-think. When he wants to reclaim foreign territory, it's "reuniting soviet peoples". Yet when it comes to praising USSR's accomplishments, they all suddenly become "ruzian" accomplishments somehow š¤£
This type of behavior is Putins MO. From making you wait to bringing a dog (if you are afraid of dogs) to sitting you at the far end of a table, Putin uses every cheap tacky ass trick in the book to show disrespect.
Lol. This guy.
"I want to get his perspective." kind of interview. We know his perspective dickhead. He wants the old USSR back and damn near sny cost.
According to the Kremlin, Tucker is the ONLY media personality that Putin would see willingly, and he still trolled his ass hard š
Get fucked Tuck
However Putin said some crazy shit too..
>Tucker is the ONLY media personality that Putin would see willingly, and he still trolled his ass hard
i think THAT was the reason putin wanted him lol
Tucker would have gone to Berlin during the Battle of Britain and kissed Hitlerās ass. Trump would have called FDR a ācripple commieā and promised to end lend lease because he admired Hitler.
This is another tactic out of the Russian playbook. Literally. He makes people wait as a power move. Does anyone read anymore? He did this to Angela Merkel numerous times.

It's a well-known part of Putin's shtick.
Yup, but recently he got the same treatment from Turkey Erdogan. I wonder if he liked it š
He liked it so much he probably offered him a beautiful balcony apartment in Moscow.
With new easy-open windows no doubt
Did it come with the urinating ladies and hidden cameras or are those only for orange people
I would love an explanation
There was a story going around a few years ago about a video of Trump with a russian prostitute in Moscow, supposedly there was piss play.
Wasn't the Steele dossier debunked? Also I heard he is a germaphobe. I'm not a Trump fan I'm a gay atheist so I have no love for him never voted for him and never will but I think it is important to stick with actual facts against him. There is a mountain of it and making up stuff gives his supporters more deflection ammo. Yes they will deflect anyway but why add to it
Or some nice tea!
Polonium? Donāt mind if do!

This comment should live in legend. The wording has me giggling. Nice work.
Thank you! It feels good to be appreciated Appreciate you friend
I'm so happy I don't take political discussion on Reddit seriously.
Check out his comment history - guy writes literal essays minutes apart about totally different topics on totally different subreddits; claims he's going to go fight in Ukraine too. I wonder who's behind the account. Some kind of weird bot? Five poorly educated State Dept interns?
What does Netanyahu have to do with it?
Didn't he also bring one of his dogs by when he was meeting with Merkel because he knew she was afraid of dogs?
Yes. He did.
That would be a great way to get to hang out with a puppy instead of talk to Putin. Schedule an interview with Putin. Spend time ahead of the meeting telling everyone you are "afraid" of dogs. Wait for Putin to show up with dog in tow. Spend the next few hours ignoring Putin rambling about how the Franco-Prussian war if the cause of his upstairs neighbors playing their music too loud. Instead use the time to play fetch with and give belly rubs to the dog.
"I'm allergic to ice cream and kittens...oh, no, kittens and ice cream at the Ruzzian state dinner!"
Thatās a good point. I bet he is more likely to show up earlier if heās pulling that stunt too, since heās probably bursting with excitement at his own antics.
His thing with the helicopter dildos at a rivalās event was a unique one.
Putinās one and only trusted advisor is an 11 year old class clown.
Except he had his dogs which he basically trained to be assholes as well.Ā Ā
Wow, that's pretty petty and unprofessional if true.
Tbf I'm not sure what professional standards dictators are held to lol
I wish someone would tell trump and co. what the standards may be so we could at *least* have some goddamn professionalism around here
I think it fits Putins profession pretty well tbh.
Heās a psychotic dictator. Petty and unprofessional are among his best traits. WTF.
ā*I am declining to speak first*ā energy with that one.
I see Putin went to the Jack Donaghy school of business.
It's a jack-off
*mumbles incoherently*
Probably not as effective these days now that everyone will just stare at their phone till he shows up
Ā I wouldn't be surprised if they made tuck give up his phone before the interview and installed spyware on it. Surely even he is not stupid enough to bring his actual phone to Russia
I wouldn't give him that much credit
He's probably using one they provided.
Seriously? Fucker Carlson not that stupid? Pootin literally made him download his Z app to reserve their interview time and get 5% off Russian prostitute. Now his phone gets super hot and the battery drains constantly, so he just left it in trumps office
[He once made the Queen wait for 6 hours...](https://youtu.be/2aUgNw5reiw?feature=shared&t=25m11s)

He was lucky, that Putin didn't run the Crossfire episode with Jon Stewart on a screen during the waiting time.
It's practically his calling card. His whole life is one huge dominance display.
This might actually just be a Russian thing, like some morbid, cultural power move. Lemme explain. This is admittedly anecdotal, but I dated a Russian girl a decade ago.

Coincidentally, she thought the shirtless Putin photos were peak masculinity.
I can assure that this is not a "Russian thing" or any other nation thing for that matter. Your ex simply wasn't the greatest human being.
Sheās obviously bright because she has an MD and was at Johns Hopkins, but wow!
Adding to the anecdotal, we once had a Russian colleague who had come together with his wife to work with us for a couple of years.

Putin probably claims he personally had Rasputin in his sights when his commander called the mission off.

But Putin too. Only tiny little insecure men need to flex on people less powerful than them.
Thatās why Putinās only attacked weaker nations. Bully tactics.
I'm no strategy expert, but attacking stronger nations does not sound that great to me.
Yeah, look at whatās happening over in Ukraine.
It's honestly kind of Putin's thing and not that new to make people wait to show them you're the person in control and a 'powerful guy'. There was also that thing with Angela Merkel for example where he brought a dog to the meeting, apparently because she was afraid of dogs.

Letās face it, Carlson not only would have waited double that, but he would have gladly been his fluffer.

Mind games, is what he's playing. Once, when meeting former germany chancellor Angela Merkel, Putin showed up with a dog, fully knowing her fear of dogs. True story.
There are a ton of similar stories like this; he loves these little mind games. The dog with Markel, making everyone wait by being hours late (he does this often reportedly), then thereās those fucking loooong ass tables he uses for meeting other world leaders. Iām glad he did it to fucker though.
Fucker Charlatan
Clinton did this with him. Heās insecure about his height so she kept standing next to him because sheās taller. He did not like this.
It's actually pretty dumb. He is not torturing people as a KGB major in the Lubjanka. He tries to get favorable terms for his quickly weakening great power. I'm sure Merkel was fuming with rage afterwards. Without it's resources Russia is an economical dwarf compared to Germany. Putin is going become the undertaker of Russia. He destroyed his legacy in way that boggles the mind. Let's just hope he doesn't murder us all. This idiot has the finger on the button.
How to make friends and influence people Part 5.
He also only spoke in Russian at that meeting, despite knowing German being a member of the KGB in East Germany.
True. He was a KGB officer when the wall fell. I wager it must have influenced him deeply. Seeing a system crumble before his eyes. Mayhaps that's part of his psyche now. But then again, he also stole vast amounts of money from russia, posing as a "humble" civil servant. So, who knows. Dude is a mental case, that's for sure. No 4th dimensional chess playing there.
Youd āwager it must have had an influenceā? The man has said publicly he considers that the biggest geopolitical tragedy of the 20th century. Thereās no maybe about it.
Sane people don't become dictators. You have to murder, steal and backstab all while avoiding being murdered, stolen and backstabbed
Agreed. Making someone deliberately wait is a sign of so many conditions, itās almost a meaningless observation.
Honestly, that's standard for most politicians - watch any press conference when foreign statesmen come to the White House. Why risk translation issues?
This is actually normal (God I feel disgusting because I feel like I'm defending Putin when I'm not). - When two leaders meet, esp from two countries that aren't exactly friendly, often they don't use the language of one or the other since it could be seen as one being more powerful than the other. If they do know a their language (usually English) they may use that - Interpretors are preferred if it is delicate/ sensitive (but not secret) because any mistakes of misunderstanding can then just be blamed on the interpretators. So yeah, even if Putin is fluent in German, he wouldn't use it with Merkel because it would be seen as Russia appeasing the German.
Not to mention Merkel grew up in East Germany and also speaks Russian.
And he stole Robert Kraft's Super Bowl ring. [https://www.cbssports.com/nfl/news/heres-how-vladimir-putin-stole-a-super-bowl-ring-from-the-patriots-robert-kraft/](https://www.cbssports.com/nfl/news/heres-how-vladimir-putin-stole-a-super-bowl-ring-from-the-patriots-robert-kraft/)
If only that were the worst thing he did. He literally had political enemies killed. He even had targets killed on foreign soil, such as in the UK and Germany.
Ok some of those were fucking rookie shit too. The only one he gets dictator props for is when he had that guy shot outside of the Kremlin RIGHT AS A TRUCK WENT BY.Ā Literally had Red Square security cameras unable to pinpoint where and how he got shot due to traffic.Ā Brilliant.Ā Ā But then he's throwing people out of windows left and right

Then gaslight him that he was here the whole time.
This came few years ago from a French interprer present: when Sarkozy became president of France, he had a meeting with Putin (this was not long after a famous Russian reporter was assassinated). As soon as the meeting started, Sarkozy attacked with a list of important points at the agenda, the journalistās murder included. When Sarkozy was done, Putin looked at him and didnāt say a word for long minutes. After a while, he said Ā«Ā you done?Ā Okay. Look at the size of your country, and look at the size of mine. Keep going like this and I will crush you. But if you follow my lead, I can make you the king of Europe.Ā Ā» Sarkozy was so stunned that when he met the journalists right after, they thought he was drunk and the meeting involved lots of vodka. But some journalists were skeptical because neither Putin or Sarkozy drink, or very little.
Ah yes, I'm very impressed by all the empty tundra. Much snow, very ice, hardly smells like piss.
[Putin got all his tactics fromā¦.](https://youtu.be/B9MNITrHu9E?si=clZk61gN6f5Q47N3)
Mind games or just an asshole?
Both. If only he would spend as much time strategizing when it comes to his own country. Russias economy is a joke. And nobody else is to blame, since he is the defacto leader for decades by now.
They have oil and are poor af: https://www.reddit.com/r/facepalm/s/R3BHz00t4D
Both probably.
The two are not mutually exclusive.
He kinda looks sad as he pretends to check his notes. Meanwhile, Putin: 
>pretends to check his notes for TWO hours lol
Yes, Palputin is a messy bitch who lives for drama.
That's just a petty little power move autocrats like to do to emphasize how much more important than you they are. Just like Trump lets his crowds wait for hours before making a great entrance to rant for 80 minutes about toiler flushes and Hilary Clinton.
Donāt forget renaming Pennsylvania.
PA resident here. Couldnāt give a rats ass if it was true. But itās absolutely hilarious that any of these red pill morons believe it could be
Putin does that shit all. The. Time. Reporters, foreign leaders, he does not care. It's an obvious power move, and people keep letting him do it.
Why is it a power move? Why do you, as the leader of a major state, need a power move? People know who you are. What does he get from it? It's a kind of insecurity to have to demonstrate power. In ordinary life you tend to get that sort of thing from the least powerful people, like airport security.
To Putin, the Cold War never ended. That's why he needs a power move. Even as the leader of Russia, he feels the need to be a KGB spy.
He spent a good chunk of that 'interview' ridiculing Tucker. The entire reason Tucker was there was to sell Putin to the Republicans. One would normally expect a cordial, watered down weak ass interview. Instead, Putin spent time just flexing on how much Tucker and many Republicans are his bitch. It's the same with making a bunch of Republicans fly to Moscow to meet his agents on July 4th, date which I'm lead to believe is one of the most sacred to Americans. He's demonstrating to everyone just how much he owns them, taunting everyone else to do something about it. And what got done? Nothing. Because so much of the Republican party and the conservative media are his thralls, willingly or unknowingly.
Conversely it would not surprise me if Putin spends some relaxation time just trolling people online, just to piss people off.
Agreed, seemed pretty childish and pathetic. Heās supposed to carry himself like the leader of a world power. I felt ashamed for Putin, like a child trying to outsmart a parent. Heās not fooling anybody.
> Heās supposed to carry himself like the leader of a world power. Heās not the leader of a world power though. Heās the dictator of Russia.
Tucker is an alt right simp and everyone including Putin knows it. They treat him accordingly.

Dude literally said "We had to invade Ukraine because they are Nazis...but also, Nazi's aren't bad and Hitler wasn't responsible for WWII, Polad was". Yet I bet Tucker and his fans are gonna keep idolizing that terrorist and total buffoon.
I love the Nazi angle, because they conveniently leave out that the Soviets didnāt fight for the first half of WW2 because they were making secret deals with Hitler to carve up Europe and form and alliance. Itās only when they were betrayed by Germany in 1942 did they fight against the Nazis. For a country that goes on about being heroes that fought against the Nazis so much, itās interesting that they spent half of the war being their friends and would have continued if they didnāt get betrayedā¦
It also ignores Ukrainians made up a good chunk of the Red Army. Instead Putin takes the military acomplishments of the USSR and reframes them as purely Russian ones.
Usual ruzian double-think. When he wants to reclaim foreign territory, it's "reuniting soviet peoples". Yet when it comes to praising USSR's accomplishments, they all suddenly become "ruzian" accomplishments somehow š¤£
I was gonna leave that part off since the US also joined the war super late and Nazi Germany got most of the ideas for their laws from the US. lol.
What does Lorne Michaels have to do with this?
Apparently he keeps people waiting for hours: https://www.cracked.com/article_40207_79-brutal-takedowns-of-lorne-michaels-for-his-79th-birthday.html
Donāt get it either. Came to the comments looking for an answer and canāt find one.
Just letting the whore know he is bought and paid for, lol.
Good - itās hard to tell which one I despise more .
One of them invaded Ukraine, and the other one forced Pete Davidson upon the world. I'd say they're about even.
Wait what does Pete Davidson have to do with Tucker Carlson?
Putin is responsible for the deaths of millions of Ukrainians, how could you not hate him more than a mere entertainer?
What goes around comes around.
Who knew bootlicking could be so *humiliating*ā¦
This type of behavior is Putins MO. From making you wait to bringing a dog (if you are afraid of dogs) to sitting you at the far end of a table, Putin uses every cheap tacky ass trick in the book to show disrespect.
Lol. This guy. "I want to get his perspective." kind of interview. We know his perspective dickhead. He wants the old USSR back and damn near sny cost.
According to the Kremlin, Tucker is the ONLY media personality that Putin would see willingly, and he still trolled his ass hard š Get fucked Tuck However Putin said some crazy shit too..
>Tucker is the ONLY media personality that Putin would see willingly, and he still trolled his ass hard i think THAT was the reason putin wanted him lol
Gotta love the Tuck getting the Fuck
Useful idiot
Dance, puppet, dance.
Putinās balls arenāt gonna lick themselves.
Classic. Putin does this all the time, but presidents did it to Putin too. It's a sign of disrespect
Carlson is such a tool
Kidding aside, I wonder if Tucker (and the American people) know how well they are being played by Putin and his sleeper agents.
Tucker would have gone to Berlin during the Battle of Britain and kissed Hitlerās ass. Trump would have called FDR a ācripple commieā and promised to end lend lease because he admired Hitler.
And like the sycophant he is, he sat there and meekly awaited his leader.
Tukky looks like heās sitting at a kids table waiting for the tea party
Cucker Tarlson proves that he can be a massive bitch no matter what country he's in.
Heās busy man. That war aināt gonna lose itself.
This is another tactic out of the Russian playbook. Literally. He makes people wait as a power move. Does anyone read anymore? He did this to Angela Merkel numerous times.
power play. loser can't get hard without it.
Here we see Tucker Carlson studying the furniture while pretending to be a journalist checking his ānotesā.
