Just watched up to the 50 min point where Tucker is talking about how we’ve hurt ourselves rather than Russia with the sanctions. The behavior of our ruling class is why so many countries are ditching the dollar and disentangling themselves from us as quickly as possible. Not only have they severely damaged America internally but also externally globally. All during the Cold War a top priority of our leaders was to keep Russia and China apart. Since the “Russia Collusion” hoax started in 2016 after Trump won a top priority of our leaders has been to demonize Putin and Russia which has had the obvious effect of forcing an alliance between Russia and China. Not a smart thing to do. Lena Petrova is one of my favorites I follow. She’s very good on financial and economic issues both here and globally. Well worth following.

Big time. It destabilized our whole global economic and financial system when we weaponized the financial system and got into a proxy war on Russia in Ukraine. We could have easily been friends with Putin and Russia. They consider themselves European and wanted to be part of the West. Had we gone that way it would have greatly benefited us and also global stability. Too late now.
I think they do want global stability with them in charge but they’re too stupid to realize weaponizing the dollar against the Russians undermines that goal since other countries realize we could do that just as easily to them. Same with their behavior internally in America. They weaponized immigration by opening the southern border and importing millions of the world’s poor to build up their base but don’t understand that their American base, especially blacks, is very much opposed to this. I live in Chicago and blacks here are furious about the money being spent on illegals which should be spent helping them.
My introduction to Lex Fridman was his fascinating interview with Jack Barsky, which was suggested to me by someone who knows Barsky himself, so I didn't take the recommendation lightly. Even so, it took a while before I was willing to start something three hours long. Turns out, Fridman's interviews are easy to spread over several days' viewing, and nearly always well worth it. I'm looking forward to this one.
Near the middle (1:29:17), the subject of 'denazification' is breached.
I am surprised and more than a little dismayed at Tucker's offhand dismissal of Putin's statement as '...one of the dumbest things I've ever heard.'
AZOD Battalion: he's never heard of that? Bombardment of civilian hospitals, schools, churches, done by AZOD and blamed on Putin. For example...
There is zero ideological difference between German National Socialists circa 1933-1945, AZOD, and 'neo-nazis' across the globe. All are supremacist in their doctrine, brutal and merciless in the execution of that doctrine, and absolutely unapologetic regarding the aftermath. 'Casualties of war'...
Tucker admits himself to being uneducated in certain aspects of world current affairs. IMHO, this is one he should study a bit further before passing judgment on the veracity of Putin's - or anyone else's - claims.
To be clear: I like Tucker Carlson's journalistic integrity, his honest, heartfelt delivery, and his willingness to put himself in harm's way to get at the truth.
That said, this interview is showing me two things (so far): 1. Lex Fridman is not completely an 'unbiased' interviewer (he's not above 'gotcha' questions, however veiled they may be); 2. Tucker is slightly naive about some aspects of the nature of the evil we face.
Fascinating… one of the most interesting things was Tucker’s observations on the fact that our nation is engaged in central planning and Tucker’s NATO discourse. Both are correct.
It is long, but some of us who do desk work can play music or a podcast in the background. I also listen on Spotify during my trail walks. Lex has many excellent interviews on his site. Thanks for the tip.
I’m only 1/2 way through this but I’m struck by Fridman’s defending and idolizing Zelensky as a hero. The guy was an actor, we’ve seen staged footage of some coverage. IMO, most of the political support for Ukraine is a huge neocon money laundering scheme. It was identified as one of the most corrupt countries in the world. HIs comment about Zelensky being a hero reminds me of the saying “It’s better to be silent and thought of as a fool than to speak and remove all doubt.”
I remain pissed off at Tucker for failing to come back to the topic of rigged & stolen elections in this country. Nothing - is more important than that and it must be remedied if we are ever to be the great country we once were.
You’re doing a good deed. Tucker is “can’t miss” and it’s difficult to keep up with everyone I follow.
Thank you again.
Yes, agreed. Thank you Sasha. You are the best
Yes, if three hours is too much. Try six, 30-minute segments. 👍🏻.
Anything to help with ADHD.
Plus this will be broken up soon into 5, 10 or 15 minute clips.
3 hours is not too much. It was great.

Russia Russia Russia has had significant geopolitical costs.

The globalists don't want global stability.

Sundance has the opinion that the sanctions were not to keep Russians out but to keep Americans in. Specifically in CBDC.

Still the most impactful conservative voice
It was very informative and can be listened as segments. Lots of different topics discussed.
What a conversation! You, gentlemen, have turned over every stone, well, almost, e.g. the space aliens were left untouched.

I'm going to give it a try. Thanks!
