The Best Putin Takeaway from Tucker's Interview
Superhumans are real & what no one is talking about
"If you know the enemy and know yourself, you need not fear the result of a hundred battles. If you know yourself but not the enemy, for every victory gained you will also suffer defeat. If you know neither the enemy nor yourself, you will succumb in every battle." - Sun Tzu, Art of War
So this week a fourth of my office on Wall St. was laid off via email because these goonish bastards don’t give a damn. That’s all to say a little late on this one. Sorry.
Nevertheless, we have to talk about this. About Putin. About Tucker’s interview.
The reason “they,” as in the media and dishonest politicians, are so scared right now is because Putin speaks with common sense — aka street smarts — and they are afraid it will resonate with people. And it has.
Hillary Clinton called Tucker a “useful idiot.”
John Kirby said, “The American people stand with Ukraine,” directed at Tucker.
Meanwhile, a new bill introduced in Congress this week will impeach any president from now until 2025 who tries to repeal aid to Ukraine. We’re forcing presidents to go to war to satisfy the bottom lines of Raytheon, General Dynamics, and Lockheed Martin. It’s all very democratic.
In that vein, and trying to end wars, here are 5 things Putin addressed with Tucker I don’t hear much about online.
1. The CIA runs America
Putin says the CIA runs America and that he once tried to join NATO, going as far as to ask Bill Clinton directly in the 90s if Russia could join, and the CIA ended the deal.
Later in the interview, he reveals that he tried to form a missile defense pact with George Bush Sr. and Condoleeza Rice against Iran in the early 2000s and was once again undermined by the CIA.
It was great to see Putin hint that all conflicts are propagated by intelligence agencies (aka unelected shadow gov); something that many normies still don’t understand.
It’s like Stanley Kubrick’s Doctor Strangelove.
We have a perpetual enemy in the Russians because conflict creates capitalism. Peace does not.
The FBI, CIA, and corporate media don’t even bother to understand the other side, and yet they act as experts on other countries. They throw shit at the wall and run with what sticks. That’s not to say we don’t have real enemies, but many are spun up, like Iraq (when Osama was killed in Pakistan), Vietnam, or Libya.
2. Who Blew Up Nord Stream?
Tucker asks Putin, “Who blew up Nord Stream?”
Putin said, “You did,” and pointed to Tucker.
“Haha, no, I was busy that day,” Tucker said.
“Ah, you personally may have an alibi, but the CIA has no such alibi,” Putin smiles. Interesting. An important caveat here is that you can believe or not believe anything Putin says. But debate his point, not the drama.
For example, many are claiming the video did not get 150m views as if that matters. This is how beta-tier politicians and effeminate men argue. Instead of actually arguing about the facts and ideas being expressed, they will try and claim that it is unpopular and no one cares and therefore you should not care either.
This kind of argument is only convincing to weak-minded herd animals. If you are strong with a strong mind, then the only thing that should matter to you is what is being said in the interview itself, not how other people react.
3. Tucker Was Almost CIA
Putin did his homework.
He said it’s a good thing Tucker didn’t join the CIA after college—a fact nobody knew about—and it left Tucker stunned.
“We should thank God they didn’t let you in, but it is a serious organization. I understand… a job is a job.”—Putin
Tucker looked afraid during this exchange.
It was as if Putin was saying if you were here to poison me I’d respect that more. Instead, you just want to interview me. How lame.
It was a sinister exchange that revealed a lot about Putin’s character.
4. How the War Ends
I want to bullet point this part here because Putin had many conflicting thoughts on ending the war and addressed several elements of interest:
Sanctions: It was actually kinda eye-opening when Putin said the Americans were fucking themselves by sanctioning trades in dollars. The upshot is it hurts US dollar hegemony as now countries like China are using this as proof as to why to get off the dollar standard. The state of the economy is just a matter of perspective and is defined only by the ruling currency.
Ukraine + U.S.: Putin says he sees Ukraine as a “satellite state” of the U.S. “We both understand what is happening,” he said. Russia doesn’t want to nuke anyone or invade anyone else, according to him. They only want the Western territory they occupy now, as Ukraine’s eastern half spoke Ukrainian and was Ukrainian pretty much forever.
How it Ends: According to Putin, talks were made when Russia took Kyiv that the war would end, and when Russia withdrew its troops, the Western world just reversed the deal and kept fighting.
David Arakhamia, the leader of the Servant of the People party and the head of the Ukrainian delegation in the talks, said a year and a half ago, they could return the Western land to Russia and the war would be over, but according to Putin, Boris Johnson said, ‘Keep fighting Russia’ and the Ukrainian parliament threw it out. Putin also told Tucker something to this effect: “In a war of propaganda, it’s hard to beat the US.”
5. Evan Gershowitz
Every news org including the NYT respected Tucker for this.
Tucker asked Putin if he could take WSJ journalist Evan Gershowitz, who’s been a Russian prisoner for two years, home to the United States.
Putin said “No,” of course.
It was a little more complex than that, the upshot being that "special services” in the U.S. were trying to get confidential information from Gershowitz, and that’s whyhe is being held there. He was helping them. Glad to see Tucker try at least.
Final Thought
If you watch the first 30 minutes of the interview, it’s a boring filler of Putin explaining the history of Russia that has little to do with the rest.
It was Grandpa’s 2 hour schizo history lecture while he told you about how the Kievan Rus went to Shelbyville, and so on and so forth.
Most people just remember this one point, if they watched it at all. But the stuff that came after that was the most interesting. Putin got his point across that the West was the instigators and the ones who continued the war, and he is always ready for negotiations. The history lesson was very weird in how extended it was. He could’ve just named a couple of bullet points like I did. To each his own.
Let me finish by saying none of this means Putin is a good guy.
But we all know this conflict is more than what the mainstream pundits are letting on about. It’ll be another colossal fuck up like Vietnam, Iraq, and Afghanistan in a few more years.
The bottom line is that this is an interview with the leader of one of the most important nations on earth, who very rarely addresses Western audiences directly. That alone makes this interview important to anyone who cares about geopolitics. Anyone trying to claim otherwise is being disingenuous. Thanks for reading <3
Oh, he also talked about superhumans. He said that genetic engineering was already being used to make ‘Specialized humans.” So maybe there’s a USSR’s Monkey Man Super Soldier project out there somewhere or it was a translation mistake.
At end of his interview he said "No one will be able to seperate the soul" ... that was very meaningful to me as it shows a deeper understanding to what it is to be human.
Another great article! As my college history professor taught me, war is always about the money. Putin's history lesson about Ukraine is just a rationalization. He want's a warm water port, and the farmland for grain export. As for the West, war is good for business and the defense manufacturers. The CIA probably did blow up Nord Stream, but Putin is jaded by he former KGB position. The CIA, (and the President), takes it's orders from a higher source.
