Welcome to c/news! Please read the Hexbear Code of Conduct and remember... we're all comrades here.
Rules:
-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --
-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --
-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --
-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --
-- Mass tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken markov chain bot will result in a comm ban--
-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--
-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --
-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --

He's still not good, but he's a rational actor. The west is living in the world of what plays well in the media; he's at least living in reality.
Absolutely. He spent like an hour with Tucker explaining in detail his whole mental framework and philosophy from beginning to end and most in the west were like "too long; didn't watch"
Like you can absolutely be opposed to his entire world view, accuse him of many of the crimes that he has most certainly committed, but he is absolutely a rational actor on the world stage.
Come on... That interview was crap. Tucker doesn't have the journalistic knowledge or integrity to get anything out of Putin. He just let Putin ramble about old history as if it was a significant part of Russia's reasons for deploying in Ukraine. Denazification also isn't really a major factor in the decision to invade either, it just happens to be a viable excuse to bolster the initiative because Ukraine does have a nazi problem.
I support Russia over Ukraine, but let's not pretend Putin is anything but another two faced capitalist.
The interviews he did with Oliver Stone were better
