It was just a tactic to control the conversation to get your point across. Telling stories rooted in facts makes a person warm up to you and believe what else one might say. #Putin was a well trained spook. #TuckerCarlson was out of his league.

The West should be thankful for this interview though. Always good to hear and understand the other side's point of view.

Yes. I also think the brainwashing that’s been done in Western media and to have an open mind before watching it is an impossible ask. I do think there’s benefit to watching it as opposed to for many to simply prove Tucker is a “useful idiot”.

Some things I got from interview:

- #Putin sees the #C.I.A. as his main adversary.

- Elites truly run the West.

- Putin really wanted to be part of the West, but that dream is now gone. {Not capitalizing in this has to be one of the biggest western diplimatic screw-ups in western history!}

- Putin wants a negotiated settlement and believes the #Americans do to.

- Putin wants Ukraine east of the Dnieper and won't stop until that is achieved.

- Putin hopes Poland, Hungary and Romania (and probably Belarus a bit) act in their own interests and carve up among themselves #Ukraine west of the Dnieper.

- #Russia believes the West are double tongued and are never again to be trusted.

- Besides Ukraine, #Russia will now focus on trade with the East. He seems particularly interested in cultivating good partnerships with #Indonesia - probably so as not to be too dependent on #China.

- He believes the West shot itself in the foot and their empire / glory days are over.

- Tucker has risen to his own level of incompetence.

I’ve yet to watch it and those are all great points to consider. Thank you.
