lol - like he said anything. Vlad slapped him around like the little kgb w**re he is and then spent the whole "interview" spouting half truths (when he wasn't lying outright) and revisionist history. A transvestite hooker can call themselves the queen of England if they want. Doesn't make them a journalist.
You DO KNOW that Tucker's father was the head of the "US Information Agency" (the USIA - jusy two ot three letters away from what thay actually was, all along - the CIA), right? And that as Putin addressed, during what was a fine interview (I say this as a professional journalist - though not an OPERATION MOCKINGBIRD Presstitute, of the sort that you no doubt hold in high esteem), not only his own background in the Russian Intelligence Community - but Tucker's public admission that he at one point applied to work for the CIA, whether as an intern - like Obama did - or as an actual Agent or Asset, like Bill Clinton, or GHWBush41.
If you think that was a "fine" interview or that Vlad wasn't mocking him when he brought up the CIA, maybe we saw different versions of it. And if you think it was journalism, I suppose you also think Fox is a "news" outlet. I've seen very little actual journalism in this country since the fairness doctrine ended and little else than corporate propaganda coming from the right. Nothing so benign anymore.
I bet you can't tell your Left from your Right. Better look down and make sure your shoes are on the right feet.
Where did you get FOX? I was making fun of them, on Pacifica Radio, (back when they had an audience), back before the SHITLIB CIA DEMOCRATS hijacked the Nation's oldest Non-Profit Listener Sponsored radio network, and deliberately ran it into an iceberg.
How "fair" was this "fairness doctrine", to the Black Panthers, or the American Indian Movement - or the Anti-War Protestors being targeted by the (bipartisan) COINTELPRO ? Not very.
It wasn't needed, back when we rallied hundreds of thousands, to get out into the streets, to try and stop the Illegal Invasion of Iraq - that was then being sold to Americans, by the likes of Joe Biden and $hillary Clinton. And boy did that work out... It failed so spectacularly, that they were both promoted to the levels of their incompetence... Now we're looking to start a Nuclear War with Russia. Genius. I hope they have room in the bunker, for all the little Propaganda Sock Puppets that sing their praises. But they probably won't. So we'll get to share the same fate...
And NONE OF IT was necessary. As Russia's leader clearly explained in that interview - HE ASKED TO JOIN NATO. But that wicked witch's alleged husband checked with his PNAC bosses - and they said that wasn't the plan. So Bill told him, "no".
So much for NATO being a "Defensive Alliance" with an "open-door" policy... That only applies to "former" Nazis, apparently.
Why the heck would I worry about shoes when the christo-fascists are well on their way to making barefoot-and-pregnant the law of the land?
Was never exposed to Pacifica - but does sound like they at least aspired to having something of a pro-democracy, we-the-people sort of bent to them. So... not sure what kind of gerrymandered conspiracy theory laden map of left and right you gotta be working off of to get from there to apologizing for Vlad, or to having truck with (let alone admiration for) any of the treasonous pro-authoritarian stooges he has so brilliantly co-opted over here.
But am sure you are right and it is a damn dirty shame the western democracies missed such a golden opportunity by not letting that scheming fascist kleptocratic kgb weasel into the henhouse - because appeasement and legitimization would never have been taken as weakness and exploited at every possible turn. For all the difference any of it will have made either way if the magats are allowed to hand over the entire farm and/or to burn it down trying.
Gots to vote blue till all those dirty magats eats poo.
So by the Law of the Land - you mean - the LAW, exactly as it was for all of time? And if the Democrats has given a damn, they could have prevented that by using their control of Congress. It's a contentious 'wedge issue' - that didn't want to lose, for forcing people to vote for their progressively less appetizing candidates for President. They got caught playing their own game... And frankly, Roe wasn't a strong decision, on the merits. It's one of the few times that the SCOTUS and US Govt acknowledged that the 9th Amendment and 4th Amendment exist.
I don't need to apologize for the 80+% popular leader of Russia, any more than he needs to apologize for reversing the incalculable damage done to his country, by Bill Clinton and his NeoLiberal Fire Sale "Shock Therapy" - which hurt Russia more than the Nazis ever did.
And the FACTS don't lie - but Christopher Steele and Luke Harding and the FBI and CIA sure as hell do. Izzy-Award winning (former Pacifican) Journalist Aaron Maté easily debunked RussiaGate; showing it to be, in reality, "SPYgate". A weaponization of the Intelligence Community against first a Candidate, and then an Incoming President... That's an INCREDIBLY DANGEROUS precedent to set...of course you're going to lie and claim that there's nothing wrong with any of it.
And for what? To get us into what is likely to become a Nuclear war - for Empire. And it makes 0 sense for the people of this country - just for Biden and Pelosi's weapons-maker contributor/pals.
And the Russian leader didn't even mention it - but the goal of putting a CIA/NAZI Coup in place in 2014, was ALWAYS to make Ukraine a NATO weapons platform - just minutes from Moscow, and to steal Russia's Black Sea warm water port. Sebastopol has been a Russian Naval base since the time of Catherine the Great. They weren't going to stand for any of that, any more than JFK could let Russian missiles get into Cuba - or than we'd allow a Russian Coup in Mexico or Canada, to install America hating Nazis or Communists. You need to check these nonsense double standards being pushed by the Imperialist goons that you're simping for.
80%? What a pussy. Trump would never settle for less than 100% given the same position. But he's not the brightest bulb by a long shot either. I think I'm starting to see what probably happened at Pacifica.
The 80+% popularity figures, for Russia's leader come from WESTERN polling sources.
What's Trump got to do with anything? RussiaGate was a CIA DISINFORMATION campaign, cooked up by John Brennan, and which (just like the Iraqi WMDs BS, under Cheney) involved a process called "Stovepiping". That's where you get some unqualified or deliberately dishonest spy or source, of the Director's choosing - and then you take the bullshit from the source to the Director, through a "stovepipe" directly - bypassing anyone who might know what the hell they're actually talking about... In these cases that would be the CIA's experts on Russia, and Iraq. That's why it's better known as "SPYGATE" amongst the people who know better than you, and your NEOCON Amen Chorus pals.
