Russians give verdict on Putin's interview with Tucker Carlson

Russians interviewed by Reuters on Friday (February 9) in Moscow's city centre said they took a great interest in an interview given by Russia's President Vladimir Putin to conservative talk-show host Tucker Carlson on his channel Tucker Carlson Network.

The interview was released late at night at 2 a.m. Moscow time, but most of the people were aware of the interview and some even said they watched it in whole. The interview became top news on Russia's largest TV channels and was widely covered. One of the channels even launched a countdown till the start of the interview.

Putin's interviews marked the first time the Russian leader has spoken to an American media outlet since before the start of what Russia calls a "special military operation" in Ukraine.

And now Tucker should interview Biden and lets see how that comedy will play out

Mainly I noticed the Russians on the street seemed intelligent and rational and - normal.

In my opinion Putin hasn't told anything new (for Russians). The novelty is that his words has been sounded widely in West.
I was very surprised when Tucker said that Americans had not ever heared voice of our president. It's odd because Russian media shows Biden's speeches, shows leaders of China, Japan, India, EU and so one.

No one should make a judgement without watching the full interview.

I'd love to see a 2 hour Tucker Carlson interview with Biden. I want to hear Biden talk about the history of US for 30 minutes.

i think many American resonate with Putin strongly, when Putin said, "don't you have anything better to do? you have issues on the border, issues with migration..."

[nafvol]

we'll never see a russian journalist interview Biden for 2 hours, that would be comedy gold

[keN]

Can't wait to see Biden's two-hour interview with a Russian journalist

[FazedIMusic]

Make Biden talk about the border between Gaza and Mexico, for 2 hours please.

If cnn and the rest of the media were honest and fair, Tucker would not have had to go to Russia to interview Putin. I appreciate Tucker gave us the opportunity to hear for ourselves and make up our own mind. Bravo Tucker!!

Putin's gonna Putin. It was actually refreshing to listen to a country leader who doesn't stutter.

[waiton]

I like that. I wish we could hear more what the Russian people have to say. If any Russian reads this post “hey from South Carolina wish you the best”.

A US report stated ( from the United States Congress Research Records) that the US launched more than 251 military interventions from 1991 to 2022 and a total of 469 since the year 1798. Yet Russia's military interventions from 1991 to 2022, are only 14 but the United States is 251, it's ridiculous how the United States calls Russia an aggressor and they have 251 military interventions. Half of the United States military interventions were after 1991 (which was the end of the Cold War) but it proves that the United States took full of advanced military invasions after 1991 because of its superpower status around the planet. There wasn't another country that could stop them but during the Cold War, the Soviet Union put the United States on check mark to keep the world peace. So the United States was getting away with its aggression after the Cold War for nobody to stop them in 1991 using the planet as its war playground.

everyone needs to see the full interview before making judgement

The interview was so refreshing. It was good to hear Putin's side of the story. He is a very intelligent man. All we hear on the media is one side of the story in America.

Why can't we just give peace a chance, I'm sure the American Russian, Chinese and Iranian people dont want war only the career politicians who stand to make billions of dollars

[st.altair]

Guys just watch the interview. Don't take other people's word for it.

[parada]

Watch it yourselves and come to your own conclusion like a free thinking adult. Don't let the media conclude for you

Great interview, I like the way he talked about the motherland. Serious smart man. Biden couldn't hold a candle to Putin. I think he gain alot of fans.
