Related: About this forumJust saw a bit of the Carlson-Putin interview, if you can call it that
since Tuck was sitting passively and just nodding his head often enough to signify he was still alive. I admit I couldn't stomach much, my bullshit detector was pinned to the point the pin was bent, don't judge me.
Putin was justifying the war with a stack of copies of ancient and hoary documents from ancient and hoary Ukrainians asking for Muscovy help in repelling whatever empire was threatening them at the time. Carlson was too awestruck to say that their relevance was as dead as the ancient and hoary Tsars who collected them, that the only relevant document in the modern world was the Budapest Memeorandum of 1994 in which Russia pledged to guarantee the borders of its neighbors Ukraine and Kazakhstan in exchange for the return of nuclear weapons on their soil. It was a great deal for Russia, Ukraine was the third biggest nuclear superpower after the US and Russia.
But I suppose Tuck's never heard of that and he probably wanted to get out alive, so that's when I quit. It was about what I expected: Putin is bonkers and no one is willing to call him on it.
It's on YouTube if you haven't eaten anything recently.

(112,992 posts)I didn't see that happening. Tuck was in the presence of his Fearless Leader, it looked like he didn't dare move many muscles.
I am sure it is a horrible shit-show but I will attempt to watch when my stomach is up to it.

(112,992 posts)and I'm listening to a podcast by someone who soldiered on through the 2+ hours of it and who said it was just more of the same for the whole time, Tucker afraid to open his big mouth for the first time in his wasted life.
I don't usually take one for the team, but you're welcome.
