Trump and Putin

Putin’s interview with Tucker is precisely why I’m not very worried about Trump siding with Russia if he wins the election. Putin knows that Tucker is on his side, yet he repeatedly mocked the poor dude during the interview. “You are too dumb for a serious conversation, you are just an entertainer, I know your secrets, you have been rejected by the CIA.” That’s just how he is. He can’t control it.

Trump might make some overtures to Putin, sure. Then he’ll get mocked and humiliated, which will make him angry, and we’ll have him exactly where needed.

Trump and Putin are both undisciplined, reactive, and pouty. Such people are bound to aggravate each other easily.

And yes, Biden is half-dead, so that’s another problem.

Also, people keep saying, “Putin had an opportunity to make his case to American right-wingers. Why did he not use this chance?”

The answer is what I’ve been saying for years. Putin’s actions are internally motivated. His audience is in Russia. Everything he does is aimed at saving his life in Russia. Russians enjoy seeing Americans humiliated. So Putin gave them what they wanted. And this is just some boring old Tucker. Imagine the brownie points for humiliating a US president.

  1. “That’s just how [Putin] is.”

    And yet I believe Putin on the CIA thing, but why?

    So much of that interview was total cringe for C-C-Cucker Carlson.

    I get the tendency to go long, hey, I want that 20 minute version like P Diddy (that only two people in the world understand) as well, and yet couldn’t an interview like this be served by “so many fewer words”?

    Of course C-C-Cucker is an Intel Community Fantasy Camp reject!

    It’s obvious to a lot of other people, so why isn’t it obvious to him?

    “Hey man, I’m just the bag man for the counterculture part of The Agenda.”

    Yeah, that’s the ticket …

    1. I’m glad the interview took place. Tucker was humiliated. Putin got another chance to show that he’s a weak, confused old coot. It’s all good.

      I don’t know why people were so worried about the interview taking place. They must have believed the hype that Putin is capable of saying something persuasive. Bought into the propaganda that he’s capable of producing something beyond confused, boring word soup.
