Mr. Gage, I haven't watched the Tucker interview, and won't. My problem with all of is this, I trust none of the people in charge, or the people who want to be in charge.
I haven't seen the interview with Putin, don't intend to watch it either although it's now at 200 million views, staggering figures. Americans abroad are highly amusing, I encounter them often in my little corner of North Yorkshire, as they "Do" the UK flitting from place to place, covering the country in a week 😂 Our ancient buildings and architecture seem to strike them the most. I have been known, on encountering them at Fountains Abbey, to remark "it will be magnificent when they finish building it....".. I shouldn't tease, but can't help it 😂
I am a fan of Tucker, so it grieves me to see him make such a colossal blunder. Ive listened to a broad political spectrum of analysis of his interview. It appears to me that his intentions and words are twisted by a media. It's common knowledge that the elites truly despise him. He has made many powerful enemies. Hence, his popularity with the average American.
However, I fear that his meteoric success and freedom has lead him to fly to close to the sun. Regardless of his intentions, he has given the media a powerful weapon. He has been portrayed as a traitor to America, unpatriotic. This can be a poison pill that's difficult to overcome in the minds of average Americans.
“It is so much cleaner and safer and prettier, aesthetically, the architecture, its food, its service than any city in the United States “ was also said about Berlin in 1938
I admit I was impressed with the Moscow subway station but it is only one subway station in one Russian city, and the heroic agricultural worker artwork did not impress me and the glowering portrait of Lenin was nauseating. I have an aversion to Russia and Russians that may be genetic in origin considering my Polish, Czech and Slovak ancestry, and have no desire to listen to Vlad Shortstacky interviewed for 2 hours and spew his Russian nationalist version of history and current events. That said I wouldn't put Tucker Carlson in the Duranty depths of depravity; you may consider him ingenuous in Moscow but not malicious.
Colonel Kurtz wasn't the hero of "Apocolypse Now" -- that honor goes to Robert Duvall's character, Lieutenant Colonel Bill Kilgore ("I love the smell of napalm in the morning").
And, with regard to men of short physical stature, back in 1980s Israel they used to joke that there were three sizes in Jordan: Medium, small, and king-size. (that still holds true, today... 40 years on)
I did know about Napoleon but I didn't know about the Flavor-Aid. Thanks for the article. It vindicates my not ever watching Carlson. I just didn't think it would be useful. I know what I think about current events. I did listen to Rush but he was also entertaining and usually had a unique take on things. I don't think anyone on or formerly on Fox is all that unique even if I agree with them generally. It's clear that Tucker doesn't do the shopping. Every grocery store over here, even the little one in my town of 900 bakes their own bread as I'm sure they do where you are. Tucker also needs to learn that just because Democrats hate somebody doesn't mean they're automatically good. Besides if Putin were the General Secretary of the Politburo of the USSR instead of whatever he is now they and their fellow travelers in the former news media would be drooling over him just like they drooled over Stalin and all his successors.

After covid, why would any thinking person?
Chris. Did you really think the interview was THAT BAD?
I was expecting Vlad to give him much of anything. Somebody needed to interview the man. 2 years into a war and no one’s heard from Putin.
Anyways. It is what it is.
For a good laugh. Go back and watch the guy from NBC INTerview Putin last time.
Don’t have a link. Found it on you tube.
I disagree with you on this one but love you just the same.
All the Best
