Also made and showed people how bad the gov't and the CIA are, if they haven't yet figured it out (HINT: anyone who still only watches Legacy Media programming)!

It’s disturbing to learn the evil reign with the CIA, etc., all these years puts America at the top of the list for corruption and treason! Of course the liberal talking heads are spinning because it just blew up their lies! Putin has been the ONLY a credible one from the beginning! Plus he loves the Russian people…..while our federal government and all the agencies want all of us dead and violent, criminal, terrorist, illegals to replace us.

excellent point! Putin loves Russia, the land and its history, and he loves the Russian people. Our leaders hate us, call us names, tell us we're taking up space and have unacceptable views, want us dead. The difference between Putin and our governments is like night and day.

We haven't been lucky since DJT with a country- and citizen-loving President!

Putin "loves" the Russian people soooo much that he too wants them digitally cattle-tagged & surveilled.

I'd give this 10 stars if I could!

Yes, I found Putin rational, deep thinking, and knowledgeable. Putin did point out how bad our government and CIA are, but I fear that too many folks need a boogieman to blame and hate. Perhaps this interview can open some eyes, reduce the glare of lies and propaganda!?

Agree with Scott. Tucker wasn’t ready for what he got from the Russian President, who in my estimation has acted in restraint given the abusive history from the U.S. expansionist’War Machine” post collapse of the Soviet state and given the circumstances in the region. Unfortunately, I don’t think most Americans have the desire or the attention span to understand the complexities of that relationship and have been sufficiently POISONED by our own state fed propaganda to think about the issue rationally. Hoping I am wrong about that, and hopefully Tucker can get to a point where he ‘gets it’ and is able to use his exceptional communication skills and reach to se through the lies we have been fed change the minds of the American people.

I agree. I read a lot of his speeches and have understood. I recommend people seek out places where his speeches are translated.

A great place to start are the Oliver Stone interviews with Putin. Absolutely fascinating!

Also, there is a professor on YT named Rossi who provides translation. I saved a lot on my playlist.

Thanks for that Chris. It appears that YouTube has buried any search for "Rossi" that might turn him up. Surprise, Surprise! LOL

YES🦅

Also, the works of the late Stephen Cohen are worth checking out. I believe Tucker may have interviewed him (when he was blacklisted by everyone else). If so, I hope he read his stuff.

Of course if you want to discuss real things like the attack on American soil on 911 he'll laugh in your face. Tucker is wealthy as a deep state con artist which is exactly who Americans always vote for and worship.

Believe you're correct re Sept. 11. Let's go smaller; how about the USS Liberty?

I’m afraid with our insurmountable debt we have already committed suicide. The Deep State is either going to use us to start WWIII or throw us under a bus without a way to pay the debt

Putin is a class act, cool, coy, it’s nice to see one world leader master of his faculties. Nato, and USA

Are really the aggressors in this whole historical affair, and Putin scolded us and Europe. He stated Economically how well they were doing in spite of all the sanctions! Loved the line doesn’t america have anything better to do, considering a 33 trillion deficit, and invasion at our own border? Yeah our military industrial complex always needs a bad guy,

Our insane policy in Ukraine is not working. Unless you’re grifting from the war.

This interview needs to be part of every school curriculum. Absolutely none of this history is taught. The history is all skewed to highlight how magnificent the US is.

As a child of Prussian descent my mother spoke often of how the true history had been twisted and distorted .. and the lies that the West fabricated.

Listen closely to what Putin is saying - he speaks the truth.

Guys, the wars are to keep the petrol dollar afloat... bankers wars!!

americans, for whatever reason, are very susceptible to simplified fairy tales about good vs evil. we don't do well with complexity and nuance. i remember in the lead up to the iraq war, there were billboards on the highway of saddam hussein flanked by hitler and stalin, like if we can just get rid of that one guy who is crazy, evil, bad... fill in the blank, everything will be fine.

it's a very childish view of the world, maybe influenced by watching too many john wayne movies? but it makes us prey to master manipulators who sadly, right now, run our government

Expand full comment

I agree. and it's not limited to John Wayne. it's a mindset that escalated with WW2 propaganda needs and of course the blacklisting.

Expand full comment

The blacklisting was good. There was a threat of Communist subversion (there still is). Leftists and Communists and Jews managed to demonize Joe McCarthy with enormous success, such that even most "conservatives" think Joe was bad.

Scott hit on something that everyone should take to heart. This interview helps lead to understanding. Too many times we are led into a false dichotomy of "either, or" and the nuances are ignored or lost altogether. These situations are complex problems (also known as Wicked Problems), where any change to one aspect alters the relationship and actions of the other aspects, thereby changing the problem fundamentally. Seek understanding of all aspects and all sides, then make your decision about what our "side" should be doing.

Little fun fact: Russia helped Lincoln saved the Union during the civil war. UK funded the south bc UK imported 75% of the south cotton and didn't want slavery to ends and with the helped from the French military. Russia dispatched naval ships along the coast line so UK / FR don't sneak attack. After Russia sold Alaska to US.. UK/France occupied Canada to put a wedge between the two countries so we don't become allies.

Canada is not a sovereign country..it's there to spy on America...ever asked yourself what the maple 🍁 leaf on their flag stands for? It stands and means absolutely nothing 🚫

I like the way you think.

Expand full comment

That Canada was then taken over by the UK and France (Quebec?) makes sense. No Canada isn’t a ‘sovereign’ country is a ‘colony’ of the British Crown.

I wish Scott Ritter was not quite so America-centric. Tucker may be an American journalist but his audience is global.

That interview was valuable internationally and will be translated into numerous languages.

What happened to the video? It seems to have disappeared from Scott's article as well.

Notice [Sputnick] on right upper corner of Scott's vid? Maybe, U.S. has censored and Napolatano got clip from other source website to circumvent.

Sadly (censoring), you are possibly right.

The interview was great. Of course, Putin's intelligence, grace and dignity are very likable and respectable. I have ling had an affinity for him.

That being said, a BURNING QUESTION for me is " What happened to the first Putin?"

This is the proverbial elephant in the room. During the interview when they posted a picture of Putin meeting with Bill Clinton- that was a picture of the old Putin. (There is absolutely no doubt these are different people. Look up pictures yourself if you aren't familiar with this situation.) And the current Putin in this interview talks about remembering his visit with him. Hmmm. My brain stalls out at this. Can't SOMETHING be straight forward nowadays?

Any body have solid information about this?

I don't but I agree that Putin doesn't look the same.

anyone intrigued by Scott Ritter could check out his enlightening documentary, In Shifting Sands: The Truth About Unscom and the Disarming of Iraq (2001).

the film strongly moved me when I saw it. we spoke briefly after the showing and he was so down to earth, I adored him.

if his message here is ham-fisted, I think that's to outflank Hillary and her ilk.

Sounds good but Ritter is going on the theory that Putin is the "good guy".....even Russians don't necessarily share this view and one should never forget that Putin is one of Herr Schwab's "young globalist leaders"....see these thoughts from a young Russian not yet in the gulag for speaking his mind:

must Putin be a good guy from the US point of view? what would that look like? we only like patsies.

Biden ain't a good guy and he can't even finish a sentence, he can't think. I guess Putin makes Biden look bad.

The US is run by demons...trying to figure out their "point of view" is hopeless

People in Russia and the United States have historically been put upon to understand the workings of a tempest of fractal cognitions that come of oligarchic ownership of land, resources and opportunities. There was better ability to cope with and heal from the depredations of savage conquerors when all commoners shared claims to a lived environment on an equal basis. So Scott Ritter anticipates suicide should neocon antics continue unreflectively. This is like the fear of ages since Rome declined. Students of Greco-Roman philosophy understood that humans and nature had aspects of an automatic process that could be marshalled by an intelligence secured in a castle redoubt, and it might be a matter of time before the days of perambulating evangelists would become like knowledge sought in books.
