Putin's call for peace frightened the West more than a declaration of war

[RIA] “Everyone who is involved in organizing Vladimir Putin’s interview with Tucker Carlson is an enemy of the United States and the West,” the British newspaper Mirror has just ruled. “Well, he’s a useful idiot,” the wife of former US President Hillary Clinton, who did not become president, is indignant. “He (Carlson – editor’s note) is Putin’s useful idiot.” Why does our former Western partners get so twisted? It’s just that the Russian President broke through a two-year information blockade and explained in the first person to a global audience what was really happening in the world, in Russia and Ukraine.

#11  Katagelasticism? I had to look it up. It'd be a good word if only I could pronounce it. Do you have a word like that for short attention span?

#3  Perhaps the lecture on Russian history was simply a cover for a delivered verbal message from the Orange Man.

I remain hopeful.

#2  It wasn't "The sermon on the Mount."

A lot of people still disappointed, disillusioned and in denial about that fact.

#1  "Actually, we would have preferred to have the interview conducted by a proper journalist from Russia and not by such an American frothing-at-the-mouth," confirmed Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov. "But unfortunately we had to realise that all those who could have been considered for the job are either in prison or have died in unfortunate circumstances in recent years."

According to insiders, an accident almost occurred during the interview because Putin had Carlson served poisoned tea out of habit. It was only at the last moment that an assistant pointed out to the Russian president that it had actually been agreed to let Carlson live.
