Putin Appears to Mock Tucker Carlson for Being Rejected from the CIA #shorts

During the two hour interview, Putin repeated claims that his invasion of Ukraine, which Kyiv and its allies described as an unprovoked act of aggression, was necessary to protect Russian speakers in Ukraine and prevent the country from posing a threat to Russia by joining NATO.

It was Putin's first interview with a Western media figure since his full-scale invasion of Ukraine two years ago.

Two journalists working for US news organizations, The Wall Street Journal's Evan Gershkovich and Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty's Alsu Kurmasheva — are currently in Russian jail on espionage charges.

Putin suggested to Carlson that a trade might be possible for a Russian intelligence operative convicted for the 2019 murder of a Chechen dissident in Berlin.

Tucker was like how the fk does he know I wanted to join CIA 30 years ago

[curtcoleman]

In Russia you do not interview Putin. Putin interview you.

[guillaumeladet]

I love the way he makes Carlson understand that he knows everything about him.

[toughspringrolls]

Putin: We know you tried to join CIA. Go overboard with the questions and you'll be surprised what else we know about you.

[jackd]

Russians have everything on Tucker from birth, including his 5th grade paper written in crayon about how cool the CIA is.

[LimbsGoldenGloves]

Putin: The organization you wanted to join
Tucker: 😐 gulp*

[MikeJSilva]

He nodded his head "yes" and all sudden he realized " how the F "

[royalty]

He is not mocking him he is showing Tucker he knows everything about him.

In Soviet Russia, Putin Interviews Tucker. 😂

[rileyfuckingrifle]

Did Putin backhandedly call Carlson unserious? 😅

[Belenus]

“We should thank God they didn’t let you in”
The best complement Tucker will ever receive

[PatriceONeal]

“The further a society drifts from the truth, the more it will hate those who speak it.”

Plot twist: Tucker is actually in the CIA

[donnawilkinson]

Putin does his homework. You can't deny that. I don't think he mocked Tucker, but rather the CIA.

[hattrick]

It’s not mocking. He praises Tucker actually by stating that he’s glad the CIA don’t have Tucker working for them.

[Shrimpwinglet]

The thing I like about Putin is that he never responds emotionally the way American politicians do. That’s what makes him so respectable.

[arthurdark]

Tucker went in there thinking he was gonna interview Putin and Putin was sitting there knowing which organisation Tucker wanted to join back in the day 😂

[billymadison]

A backhanded compliment, leading into a humble brag. Thats basically the nicest Putin has ever been to anyone.

[bmohr]

Putin didn’t mock Tucker, he was saying the CIA would have corrupted him and kept him from being a good journalist

[ZacchaeusNifong]

This isn't mocking. This is Putin congratulating Tucker, and thanking the gods, that Tuck didn't end up in the CIA like his father.
