Below are some of the top subjects discussed in the historic Tucker Carlson and Russian President Vladimir Putin interview:
Regarding the infamous destruction of the Nord Stream Pipeline, Putin suggested the United States CIA blew it up in a sabotage operation.
The Russian leader also pointed out it’s basically useless for him to present information to the West because the U.S. “controls all the world’s media and many European media.”
Another key portion of the interview was Putin’s declaration that American presidents in his experience are often blocked from doing what they please by advisors apparently more powerful than them.
“So, twice you’ve described US presidents making decisions 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 are elected in your telling,” Carlson said with Putin agreeing, “That’s right.”
One example of a president being controlled came when Putin described asking ex-U.S. President Bill Clinton if Russia could join NATO.
Clinton allegedly said, “I think so,” only to tell Putin later that evening “I’ve talked to my team. It’s not possible now.”
The Russian government head also asked why the U.S. is spending so much money and resources on the war in Ukraine while also slamming American issues such as the debt and open border.
