Scholz called Putin's interview 'ridiculous'
2024-02-13
Direct Translation via Google Translate. Edited.

Commentary by Russian military blogger Andrey Chervonets

[Chernovec] It is clear that the interview is intended for a Western audience, but it seems that the Russian President took into account the delay in their development and gave out information carefully and in doses. And even in this situation... they are in shock.

The interview did not surprise us, because we know the stated historical facts very well. But we must understand that for a wide range of Western people who are interested in the truth, everything that was said was a revelation!

Perhaps Putin, in an interview, even expounded in too much detail our position, our history on the basis of existing archival documents, cited various arguments that may well seem controversial to them (but controversial only because of their own ignorance) and which it would be most correct to discuss with arguments and facts. But Olaf Scholz, not having anything substantive to say, and not possessing the same intelligence and erudition as Putin, is only able to call (during a meeting with his overlord in Washington) all this “ridiculous.” nothing to answer.

Whatever you say to Olaf, it’s all giggling and giggling. What about the death of Russians in Donbass since 2014 and the alley of dead children, what about Putin’s interview with Carlson. Although, I'm probably too hard on Scholz. What could you expect from the most ridiculous German politician in history? The position of the Germans now is the merit of the German leader, who, to please the Pindos, deprived the country of cheap gas and was not even indignant about the explosion of the gas pipeline, depriving Germany of the opportunity to remain a prosperous independent country with a strong economy.

Actually, all of today's Western hysterics about this interview are due to the fact that this is a unique case in modern history.

This is the FIRST interview with Putin, which a Western citizen can personally, without cuts and without the accompaniment of critical comments, without “cutting” and “cutting.” "Watch in FULL FOR FREE on a resource popular in the West."

Putin previously, if anyone has forgotten, gave extensive articles “for a Western audience” in Western media, and gave quite voluminous interviews to Western media.

BUT, all of this was either published in the media, which had to be paid for reading, and had an extremely narrow audience (well, if several million) and it was all published with bills and each paragraph was dissected and accompanied by “antitheses” of the Western, as they like to say, narrative. And here is EVERYTHING, FREE, AVAILABLE AND WITHOUT CREDITS. It’s clear that the Western elites are clutching their heads.

Therefore, the most important defense for the Western information space is: “Don’t watch the interview, it’s a lie!”, although they cannot provide a single example to support their cries.

In France and Germany they showed a 15-second piece and that’s it. It’s good that there is the Internet, Otherwise, no one would have known about the interview, much less what it was about. Only on Tucker Carlson’s resources the views are off the charts, and it’s clear that no one will cheat him for this unsystematic interview.
The American journalist already has 200 million views on X (Twitter), 15 million interviews were viewed on his Youtbe channel... And how many reposts in various social networks, translations, interviews in Russian, Spanish, Chinese..., plus countless views of individual but numerous clips from him? You can not be afraid to make a mistake when declaring, that a billion views is not a stream for this interview.

With this interview, Tucker Carlson earned a Pulitzer Prize.

But for understanding. For example, one of the nominations in the Journalism section was “For outstanding presentation of sensational material.” Tucker didn't deserve it? Or, at least the nomination “For Service to Society” - Tucker also deserved it, because he was not afraid to convey the truth to his people. Few?

You can also add “For disclosing the national theme” - it was in an interview with Tucker that GDP revealed the full urgency of the national issue, making an excursion into the history of Russia especially for the American people. And the way Tucker did it, and under what conditions and threats to him personally, is quite worthy of the “For Excellence” award. It is also important to note the nomination “For International Reporting”; Tucker created an exclusive here too.

But of course Tucker won’t be given the Pulitzer Prize. It will be given to some Iranian opposition journalist or transvestite journalist.

IN CONCLUSION
Here, in my opinion, it’s time to remember the prophetic phrase of Anthony the Great: “The last times will come, when nine sick people will come to one healthy person and say: you are sick because you are not like us.” words supported by indisputable historical facts - “ridiculous” and “ridiculous”...

The interview is intended for smart people in the West. On those who think independently, and not on liver sausage. Your attempts, gentlemen of the Pro-Pindos Tabaki, to put a face on a bad game are ridiculous and absurd.

Anybody interested in TRUTH could've just looked at Ukraine's record for the 30 years of "independence".
