Putin negging Cucker about how he applied for the CIA and was rejected for being too stupid.

Basically a in-Cucker's-face "We have plenty of kompromat on you, don't forget that during this interview."

He actually said that? I always thought the Republicans and Trump worshipping Putin was down to kompromat

The Kremlin called the American propagandist they keep in their pocket to interview Putin. Vlad wanted to peddle his ridiculous justifications to an American audience directly.

The same stupid sound bites we get around here all the time from the tankies, putting to rest once and for all whose hand is up the puppet’s ass.

48 minute rant about Russian history, wizards, Tucker Carlsons CIA career and Putin going on long winded no where stories not involving the interview...

Yeah bc I am not watching that first-hand:-).

The MAGAs won't actually watch it either, of course. I wonder who will?

I suspect it will be a bit like NYT Best Sellers where they have the asterix referencing that it only made it to the best seller list due to a bulk-buy of the books.

It's just bots all the way down.

^ This - they will reference that it exists, therefore blah blah whatever they want to say after that as if somehow the former had even the slightest relation.

Example: Jesus says "love people, especially those you disagree with". Translation: Civil War time muddafuckers!

I've heard his segments get rebroadcast on Russian TV fairly often.

Idk man. Saw that shit pulled up on my dad’s pc and I still can’t believe he’d watch that shit.

Another Fox News host sucking up to the Russians.

Regardless of how bad Putin's actions are, it never hurts to listen to what he says as he still dictates what happens.

Don't worry, it is a load of bullshit on Ukraine indeed, starting with vague historical references, but you better know what kind of crap you deal with. On a positive side, it adds some valid critique of the US - not of Biden or Democrats, he goes through with no respect to exact party, and mostly back in history, but related to modern situation.

It never helps to cut yourself from information, and it doesn't validate his position if you listen to it. The best approach to critics is "checking out and then reasonably confirming it's crap".

I hope he is ready to fade away into obscurity now. Delaying the inevitable. A fox news host is only suited for one thing, suckling at the teet of Murdoch.
