Tucker Carlson at the Bolshoi Ballet (threadbans in op)

I guess the part about Germany having the right to invade Poland was something new from Putin. But everything seems to have been stuff that he's been saying for years that has been reported.

Thing is, it's been a misrepresentation that's been going around for years. He warned against trusting Russia but the decision was always with Ukraine. I loath Boris but he wasn't wrong in this case. He didn't prevent them from doing anything.

Pretty telling that this is your first appearance in the thread since the interview aired. No comment on Putin saying Germany was justified in invading Poland during ww2? Wanna point to any new piece of information that hasn't been out since the start of the war? Something material that justifies invasion for example.

Russia claims that Johnson rejected a deal. but I have heard other sources that Putin did.

A bad deal would have rewarded Putin. Remember that at that time, they were occupying large parts of Northern Ukraine and were in Kyiv region and the Chernobyl nuclear plant. They were surrounding Sumy and Chernhiv and nearly surrounding the city of Kharkiv. Freezing the conflict at that time would have allowed Russia to hold onto twice as much territory as they do now.

If what they are talking about are the talks that were going on in Belarus in 2022, I would point out that members of both delegations became ill, possibly from poisoning. There were suggestions at the time that hardliners in Moscow were responsible.

I think it’s good to allow Putin to have his say, doesn’t mean we have to believe him but neither should we automatically believe the things our western leaders say. If ever there is a more apt use of the term 3 sides to every story it is with regards to war propaganda. Your side, my side and the truth.

To be honest. I am also opposed to the Putin regime itself, and would be delighted if one outcome of this war were its fall, and replacement with a democratic government.

We can wait to hear what the American response will be. We can be sure they’ll tell us the truth.

Well, they also say that you should judge a man by his actions, and not by what he says. If you apply this rule to Putin, he is the complete opposite to what he claims to be. And as to that, he's a proven mass-murderer, and a liar to boot. He has brought nothing but death and destruction to the world.

That's all you hear about is that Ukraine rejected the deal because Johnson interfered and persuaded them not to take it. You never hear what the deal entails though. Neither do you hear about why Ukraine accepted Johnson's advice. Could it have been that they were going to refuse it anyway, Johnson or no Johnson? The Ukrainians are not stupid, especially when dealing with Russia.

It would have just been another Budapest. Neither the Ukrainians nor the West trusted Putin to agree to the deal. Johnson (and it wasn't just Johnson saying this) just reinforced what then Ukrainians were already thinking, and that Western support would be forthcoming if Ukraine did not accept the deal.

This was just after news emerged of Russian atrocities such as Bucha. There was no belief on the Ukrainian side that Russia after breaking previous deals, and committing such atrocities could be trusted to act in good faith in negotiating and honouring the agreement.

The Russians presenting that as Johnson torpedoing the deal is simply a lie.

Here's a debunking of all the Putin lies in the 'interview' rant at lapdog Carlson in case it fooled some people...

Just some genocide, assassinations of political opponents and journalists plus some modern day gulags. You seem to be fine with ignoring all of this though.

Edit .... Was going to make a joke. But it's not worth the effort..

Yep he has and by the looks of it, the Carlson interview hasn't had the intended effect.
