- If you're absolutely confused, but want a simplified explanation of the 3-hour-long history lesson that Vladmir Putin gave Tucker Carlson, let me break it down for you K-drama style. After poring through the transcript of Tucker Carlson's interview with Vladimir Putin, I realized he was like a Korean ajusshi pontificating on the world. It's really the only way to be able to piece together Putin's historical argument into a coherent whole.

It felt like Putin was running circles around tucker who could not control his interview at all
Unfortunately I have to agree with you - but I don’t see that as a good thing.
@@mac4039Tucker was a fool to think he could control this and as a result used as a tool
Back when he invaded Ukraine, everybody here was asking: Why?
If you listened to world historians at that time, they were giving indepth historical background to the points Putin was making relating to Russian history, NATO countries in Europe, accepting Ukraine into NATO, and how much of a direct threat to Russia that would be. And also the point that he was making relating to Nazis in Ukraine. This also has to do with the flow of oil reserves to Russia and those pathways not being blocked by NATO countries.
This also gives some insight and credibility as to why Putin (from his perspective) feels the need to align with China and N. Korea.
I actively avoided this interview, because I just can’t with these two. So glad you covered it, because I’d much rather listen to your summary.
You are such a good story teller!
I enjoy hearing you talking about anything, you are funny but never disrespectful, you go deep but never boring. Thank you for doing such amazing job and please keep on doing it ❤❤ love, love love your channel!
What Puttin says it's completely delusional. I'm from Europe, Portugal, and by his logic, we couldn't exist as a country. He wants to justify himself for the madness and delusional of his state of mind
😂😂 u dont understand what putin want to say.nato in ukrain is existential threat for russia.russia shared 2000 km border with ukrain.germany to moscow is a invasion highway.putin truly cares about his countries security.
You did an enormous amount of research to bring us your summary / interpretation of the Putin ‘interview’ (well monologue really) and the result was terrific. Good job - thank you!
Didn’t watch the interview, but now I don’t need to, as I got the abridged ajushi version. Great job, in interpretation.
Thank you for your view on this interview. Both sides do need to be heard so that we can move forward intelligently.
Exactly.
This is brilliant, Sean! Thanks so much for doing the work for us because i surely wasn't going to be able to sit through both Tucker and Putin! You outdid yourself on the history! 💜☮️
I am a Finnish person and to give a Finnish point of view on the matter.. (We share 1350 km's boarder with Russia and they have had wars on our land many times in history and even when we finally became independent, Russia attacked us during the 2nd WW and took part of our land, so that 420 000 Finnish people had to leave their homes and everything they owned to Russians and flee to the side of Finland what was still left for us after a bloody war..) So..
When Putin this time attacked Ukraine, it was like history repeating itself. Russians making up a story why they need to invade someone elses land and space and then going with tanks and guns to do that. Untill that day the clear majority of Finnish people were opposing us joing the NATO, to stay in the between and not clearly take parts, trying to have good realtions with both Russia and the US to maintain the peace and stability. But the day Putin decided to go over the boarder and show that he has no respect for legitimate states and boarders, the views on NATO in Finland changed in few days. Putin showed us that the mind of the Russian leaders have not changed during the past decades, they still think they can rule anyone around them as they wish. So around 90% of Finnish people then decided that we are going to join NATO. Those countries will not threaten our indepency unlike Russia has shown to do so many times in history - to other countries and to us too.
So now when Putin is saying that "Finland joined NATO because bad US dragged and tricked them to do so", it is complete BS. We joined because he attacked Ukraine. Had he not done it (or attacked another country), I don't think we would ever have joined. So if he is now crying about it, having suddenly 1350 km's more boarder with NATO, it is 100% his own fault. If you are an attacker and do not respect other nations, then you get what you begged for. So if you ever hear him say, "somebody else dragged or tricked Finland to join NATO". It is a BIG LIE. We wanted to stay out of it, but he left us no other choice.
Well said!
With that explanation, be prepared for WW3
@@sharilsamad9727 We never started any wars and never will in the future. If Russians want WW3 they will start it no matter what we do. They will always find an excuse to start a war if they want one, just like they have done through out the history.
@@sharilsamad9727 ?? We have never started a war and never will. The opposite side will find an excuse to do so if they want one. That is how it has been through out their history. What we do or don't won't matter to them.
Do remember one thing, WAR, won't be on American soil. That war drum calling for war, funny enough comes from across the Atlantic. Being a HERO of a proxy War is not a coveted title! It is actually a badge of honour for FOOLS@kpt002
Always Informative Thank you 💜🙏👏❄️🧏♀️
How can we understand each other if you want to shut the other side up?
And how do you build a relationship with someone who can’t be trusted to tell the truth? There are plenty of political pathological liars out there. What is to be gained when the truth is missing in action?
@mac4039 I never said building a relationship.
How do we know the mind of a seriall k!11er? How do we know what makes them tick? How are profilers able to understand what kind of monster they are looking for in order to catch them?
Monster that are caught are interviewed. They do not sit with them to build a relationship. They do it only to extract information for humankind's sake.
@mac4039 I never said building a relationshiphip. Profilers sit with people who do away with others in order to understand their minds. This helps them see what kind of monster they are searching for. As for building a relationship, hey, you'd never know if you are able to change minds by talking.
@@TheProudWife515 Where do the profilers come into it? My opinion (and that’s not something I want to force on others) in this instance is that we don’t need to understand Putin to know what sort of monster he is. Political opponents ‘fall’ from windows, get poisoned, or have an explosion on their planes. We can’t trust HIS WORDS - they are far removed from the reality of his actions. We could listen til our ears fall off to no avail.
Putin is now saying he wants talks with Zelensky towards peace … but no trust can be built to establish peace unless a genuine relationship and commitment is established. (That’s where a relationship comes into my comment).
Talk is cheap but action shows what is truth. (If you care to, watch a UA-cam clip called ‘History of Vladimir Putin’ on John Coogan’s channel. It sets out Putin’s recent behaviours very clearly and is well worth watching).
@@TheProudWife515 Do you really think a man like Putin will have his mind changed by talking?? We are talking about someone who ensures any political opponents are removed. How many recently have fallen out of windows, been poisoned, or been in a plane that exploded mid air? Dictators aren’t men who will allow others to change their mind by having a heart to heart. And we can judge ‘what sort of a monster’ he is by his many damning previous actions. Talk is cheap.
This video deserves more views! Good work!
Your dissection and explanation of Tucker's interview with Putin is so important. I lived through the Cold War where the events you mentioned were current events in my history class. One thing about history, the ghosts of the past continue to haunt when there are unresolved issues. They key to having a position or reaching a resolution is an educated citizenry. Unfortunately, citizens place all the power and decision making into the hands of leaders.
Russia acts the victim but their main objective is to expand beyond Ukraine which presents a threat to the European states, and also Asian countries with the help of China and North Korea.
Russia joining NATO is like a wolf having access to the chicken coop. Trump's latest comments align with Putin's lecture to Tucker. Cooinky-dink? I don't think so.
I'm now a history teacher. Folks, learn history. It's pivitol to your survival. There are other parallels situations happening in the world today.
Thank you for taking the initiative in going through this transcript.
It all sounds like gobbledygook to me but it's truly important that I, actually us all, listen to the entire interview so we'll begin to be in the know. I can't speak for everyone else but I've lived in the dark for too long!
Sean, you are a man of many facets, there's no topic that you can't tackle!! I truly appreciate you❣️
Hey Sean- thanks for doing the legwork on this one- very interesting to hear the historical background - and your delivery, as always, is priceless! 💜
Brilliant assessment, as usual, Sean. Appreciation from Houston...
I think it’s great that you did this video. So many young people don’t realize they need to know politics, history and K- Pop as well…. You really got the point, using parallels to Korean societal concepts. olive branch with a bullseye shot to his detractors.
Thank you Sean ❤ I really enjoy your storytelling.
Thanks for this summary. Once I heard Putin’s first twenty minutes were a history lesson Putin style, I did not want to watch. Thanks for doing the hard work for us.
I think everyone should remember that Tucker was not on his home turf, and mindful that he was interviewing the President of Russia, who runs a tight ship. I also believe that Tucker wasn’t expecting Putin to directly answer any tough questions, but certainly not a class in Russian history. Under the circumstances, It wasn’t a matter of Tucker having circles being run around him. He couldn’t get too aggressive, after all. The current U.S. Administration hates him, and if Tucker ended up in a gulag for aggressively criticizing or pressuring the macho leader for answers, I think he could conveniently be “forgotten”, and he would become very fluent in the Russian language after a few years.
Now that the interview is over, Putin is claiming that he expected more hardball questions from Tucker, which, in my opinion, is a typical response. Tucker presented what questions he could, but there’s no way he was going to be flip enough to demand concrete answers. I commend Tucker for having the guts to go for the interview, and allow people to see this side of Putin. One that some of his harshest critics would have given their eye teeth to get.
he said Russia is the victim???? looooool
"Papa Putin "😂😂😂your funny
Keep up the great work!
Sean, Excellent coverage and insights, as always. Mr Tucker Carlson's combative questioning, as seen during his Fox News days, was nowhere to be found. It wasn't a hard-hitting interview. We have seen and heard all of this before. Nothing new. The interview started with over 25 minutes of a revisionist history lesson. Mr Putin's calculated charm and dominance counted on Mr Carlson's lack of historical knowledge. Mr Carlson never fact-checked the state-centred and revisionist history, nor did he help his position by comparing the Russia-Ukraine war to a "border dispute." He could quickly have challenged Mr Putin's narrative by using historical facts such as:
1. The old narrative that Russia as a state began its development in the 9th Century is established mythology by Muscovite tsars, who allegedly traced their lineage back to the Rurik Dynasty to justify their imperial hold over Ukraine. Ukraine also began its development in the 9th Century, precisely with the same evidence and documents.
2. It may be true that Russians, Ukrainians, and Belarusians "came from the same stock." They, through time, developed into different people. Using a 20th-century concept based on protecting a defined nation as something that goes back is misleading. Mr Putin claimed that areas in the south and east of Ukraine "had no historical connection with Ukraine whatsoever," which serves his interests, as they are precisely the areas that Russia is attempting to conquer in a decade-long conflict with Ukraine. Conquered from the Ottoman Empire by the Russian Empress Catherine the Great in the 17th Century, the Russian president stated that these lands were rightfully Russian. He later called them "Novorossiya" (New Russia), an 18th-century term. The "Novorossiya" area includes Crimea, annexed from Ukraine in 2014, Kherson, Mariupol and Bakhmut, which Mr Putin declared part of Russia in 2022. However, when Russia conquered these lands, the inhabitants of these lands were neither Russian nor Ukrainian but Ottoman, Tatar, or Cossacks. Slavic peasants who had fled to the frontiers.
3. Mr Putin claimed that Ukraine is an artificial state because it received lands to which it had no historical claim; it was created by Stalin and the Soviet leadership in the 1920s and is not a real country because it was formed in its modern form in the 20th Century. He is correct in that the Soviet leadership drew up the borders of Soviet republics just like the Western colonial powers drew up borders around the world. Nevertheless, that doesn't mean that Ukrainians did not exist. Countries are created due to historical processes. Russia was created by the Russian tsars, who colonised Siberia, Central Asia, West Europe, the Caucasus region, the Ottoman and Persian empires. The reality is that if Ukraine is a fake country, then so is Russia and other countries. Similarly, Mr Carson could have mentioned Mr Putin's 5,000-word thesis, "On the Historical Unity of Russians and Ukrainians," published on 12 July 2021.
4. Mr Putin claims that Poland collaborated with Hitler, and by refusing to surrender the Danzig Corridor, Poland pushed Hitler to start World War II. This is untrue, as shown by historical records. While there were diplomatic contacts between Poland and the Nazis, the first treaty Hitler signed after coming to power was a non-aggression pact with Poland in January 1934. In August 1939, the Soviet Union also signed treaties with Nazi Germany, the Molotov-Ribbentrop Pact, and secretly divided the countries that lay between them. One week later, in September 1939, they invaded Poland according to the terms of the treaty signed earlier that year. Mr Putin has merged diplomatic outreach to a threatening neighbour with collaboration.
Mr Putin's "divide and conquer" tactic was prevalent. The interview was laden with jabs and assigned blame against the USA, Ukraine, and the West, loaded with propaganda to create doubt-an attempt to undermine the USA's, the West's and its supporters' faith in democracy. Furthermore, the interview's timing was critical for Ukraine as, on Wednesday, a multi-billion USA aid package that was critical for Kyiv was blocked. This interview was a Kremlin public relations stunt. Mr Putin steamrolled Carlson with finesse and remained unchallenged during the whole interview.
INDEED a serious real K DRAMA...😮
Russia has requested we return Alaska just recently. They said it’s sale was not authorized by the Russian government.
I lost it when you said that is what I'm here to do... yes it was long. 😂 thank goodness you could downsize.
I liked your buffet. I would like to introduce the Triggernometry podcast to you. They have a dialog and one of the men is Russian.
Good analyzer 👍
I imagine how confusing the history of these lands is for other people... Let me bring some more confusion!
The roots of nowadays Russia are in the Principality of Moscow, that was founded later then the original " Rus' " principalities (Novgorod, Kyiv, Polack, etc.). It was subjugated by the Golden Horde and inherited its power structure - the leader and his subjects. Original " Rus' " principalities had some form of a medieval democracy and weren't conquered or subjugated by the Golden Horde. Then the Principality of Moscow destroyed Novgorod and Tver principalities with their semblance of a democratic rule and incorporated them. As Novgorod was originally one of the " Rus' " principalities and an older entity, Moscow stole the name for themselves for prestige and further stupid claims that Putin adjussi is spouting now.
Meanwhile former " Rus' " principalities retained their medieval democracies and minded their own business fighting the Teutonic Order and the Tatars and forming unions with their western neighbors. They were called Ruthenians (with lots of other identities they developed over time which lead to creation of nation states of Ukraine and Belarus). While the people of Moscow were called Moscovites. Until they decided that they were russians
So, Russia - Moscovites, authoritarian rule from the Golden Horde
Ukraine, Belarus - Ruthenians, "democratic" medieval rule from the older " Rus' " principalities
Putin Adhussi😂😂oh dear
I chuckled at that too! Putin will rush out, bare chested on a stallion to prove his vigour, if he knows he’s been compared to an old man. Ouch! So funny 😂
You might find it intriguing to watch the Russian televised version of the interview/speech. Honestly, his speeches /interviews are always interesting but yes, they do usually go a few hrs. Always recall Putin is a lawyer first.
He can be punchy and short but its apparent he thinks people do not know the Russian history. And in America thats true. I think the other thing he is certain of Is that people do not know the history of the Ukrainian conflict. A good documentary to watch educationally is : Roses Have Thorns.
This was a great watch. Its interesting to see you cover Putin. If your going to get into the US election I would very much enjoy your thoughts on RFK.
션님 잘 했어요 👍
I'd like to mention that it's my opinion that since invading Ukraine, Russia's main battle strategy is to fortify their position in the eastern region while AFU and NATO-backed forces attack Russian defenses. Instead of playing an offensive war, it appears one of Russia's main strategies is to deplete Ukrainian forces while holding their defensive ground. Then we hear so much about Ukraine is running out of money... Ukraine is running out of manpower, running out of ammo... Like seriously man, what a clown show :/
C'mon man! You know I might be right... I guess we shouldn't give the plot away or something ;)
Tucker: "Why you didn't take it once you became the president of Russia?"
Putin: "I had never considered even thought about the opportunity where some scenario could have been existed as the country called Ukraine where 95% of the population fought against Nazism together with 14 other USSR republics and had maybe biggest count of Soviet Ukrainian Jews those were sent to Nazi Germany camps of death and the country where the most of population speak Russian like the first language except 10-15 % of the western regions originally Polish could have been declared Nazi Germany Waffen SS murders like Bandera or Shukhevich "national heroes" who were fought for "freedom" in Ukraine and the whole Europe under "liberators" called the 3rd Reich! Mr.Tucker I could not have imagened either the scenario where such country would be sponsored and supplied by the special services of the country which were filmed such movies like "Apt Pupil" or "Saving Private Ryan" or "Schindler's List" and the country which soldiers gave warm hugs to our USSR soldiers on Elbe river in Germany once Eastern and Western allies front had been connected because of it's just another proxy-war. Mr.Tucker have you had any feeling when you aren't sure are you still sleeping seeing terribale nightmare or is it in real?"
I would like to add that once Soviet Union was collapsed ex-USSR republics got huge impact of the western culture including Hollywood movies, music, food, clothes. So the generation of those years went to school and begun to learn English in an elementary school watching Beverly Hills 90210, Sliders TV series, eating hamburgers and reading the guide of baseball rules. Nowadays many of those children have need to protect brotherhood country against same countries those were sent so much stuff to their childhood...
Ludmila Pavluchenko, real national Ukrainian hero was invited to the white house in Washington right before Allies opened the second front in France with a speech so she said there: "I'm 25 years old and I have killed 309 nazis don't you think gentlemen that you're too long hidding for my back?" quite soon the second front was opened in France.
"Nowadays Canadian parliament applaud to a nazi. Mr.Carlson can we say that we completely solved that problem?" said Putin
thanks for you content, great job and analysis!
Look I hate Tucker but I always try to see what the other side has to say because there is always two sides to a story. So I’ll watch intently. The NATO story has been reported on by other non mainstream journalists & it can be verified.
Putin ajussi 😂😂😂😂
Not exactly the history lesson I was taught in school 😅 I don't know what weed puti was smoking but, it was an interesting fairytale. IMO the every country should stay the F out of this war. It's going to create even more casualties, especially if China gets involved. The harsh reality is it's a power struggle over oil.
I just love your style. Lemme go get some hot cocoa.
Thank you for making this convoluted interview make sense. k Drama and a bit of kafka!
Sean, if you ever do a lecture somewhere, I will try my very best to attend it! I love me some history and hypocrisy and you spilled all that tea! That man is crazy! He said ALLLLLL that just to basically say nothing! Just to justify why he’s killing innocent people…..okay!!!!🤦🏾♀️😩
