Imagine being dumb enough to think Tucker should be locked away for asking this idiot questions. Should every American journalist who interviewed mao, Ho Chi Minh, any Russian leader, any Iranian leader, xi, Castro and any other adversary be put in prison?
Meanwhile, op probably has a pic of Jane Fonda in Vietnam on his wall.

Tucker is a grifter. Tucker is a traitor. Tucker is Putin's tool.
The left is so predictable.

Tucker is a grifter who only says what he says because it generates income.
Show me the media personalities you like and I'll show you people that are only saying what they say to generate income (I.e. grifting)
Let wait to see how the interview goes first.
If he asks tough questions of him in a fair manner, which Tucker is excellent at doing, this should be applauded.
However, Tucker has also done a joke interview simply letting someone push their story. Hopefully that's not the case here

Big deal. I went to Moscow in 2018 and elsewhere in Russia and I've spent my whole life more anti-Russian than Patton.
I went to Egypt the next year, does that mean I'm potentially an Islamic terrorist now?
And anybody who still associates Russia with communism needs to give politics a break for a while and go read some books written in the last 30 years. After having been there I can tell you that their under-40 crowd is less communist than our under-40 crowd is at this point. Putin is an evil ****-stain, but Russia as a country is not remotely what the USSR was.

considering that the modus operandi for everything putin does is to 1) strengthen russia and 2) weaken the west, it's hard to imagine he'd agree to an interview like this if he didn't think it would advance those causes.
People also need to keep in mind that Tucker is going into an environment that is not exactly friendly to journalists. Asking hard questions to Putin in his own house could actually be the last interview you ever do. Anyone that interviews Putin in person in Moscow will always be very measured because journalists literally disappear there.BMX Bandit said:

Oliver Stone's Putin interviews were measured and at times came off as Stone's intent was to humanize Putin and demonize America, Stone has always been controversial and isn't shy to display his complete distrust and malcontent of the US Government, and he's also had controversial opinions of Adolf Hitler, Joseph Stalin, Hugo Chvez as well as Vladimir Putin.

I love Tucker but I'll lose a lot of respect for the guy if he sucks up to a brutal thug like Putin and doesn't challenge him near as hard as he did with liberal college chicks on his Fox show.
Keir Simmons asked tough but fair questions. Believe he's still alive. Tucker Carlson can do the same if he chooses.

Tucker would prove a lot of people wrong if he challenged Putin, and pushed back on him when appropriate during the interview.

This is so sad. OMG.
Looking forward to the Texags Putin interview meltdown. INCOMING!
Really disappointed no one was labeled as a "comrade" in this thread. 108 still in bed I guess.

What if Tucker is there to interview Snowden?

Oh yes. It's much better to shut off all information out of Russia and keep that EastAsia mystery intact.Old McDonald said:

We've got to have someone to hate, and God forbid letting someone have an opportunity to explain their position or be humanized in any way.
I'm no fan of Tucker or Putin, but it is laughable how this OP takes a simple fact that Tucker is in Russia and then draws a ridiculous conclusion, and then so many others jump on board.

Yeah I was wondering when all the Ivan accusations would start flying.

But I wish it was Russia/Putin who wanted their male population to be queer and moronic, instead of our establishment/ western governments who promote dependency and weakness.
it's a plum interview
I have to admit, I'd rather see Rachel Maddow, or any number of other mainstream cable news talking heads/interviewers, interview Putin, instead of Tucker,
Tucker triggering the liberals. Love to see it.
I fully expect Tucker to come away with an interview that allows Russia to justify its war with Ukraine without pushing back on it. And maybe even agree with it. And I expect him to agree on camera that the US shouldn't be involved.
I also expect to see him agree on camera with any Russian who says the US is going in the wrong direction or really has anything bad to say about the US for that matter.
His audiences on both sides of the ocean would eat it up. He will use this as opportunity to test boundaries to see what he can get away over here without losing his audience.
I expect the interview to be more about the US than Russia, even in situations where Russia is the topic - allowing Russia an opportunity to pump themselves and drive us down.
An interview like this might be interesting but I have a hard time imagining it'll be informative. It'll be tailor made for confirmation-biased viewers. We already see people here saying they'd rather have Putin than Biden. Or that literally anything is better than a Dem. That will be his target.
At the end of the day, Tucker Carlson is a domestic political pundit and conspiracy theorist - not a geopolitical news reporter. So anybody thinking about this objectively should expect him to go over there and do more of the same. The Russian "guest" will likely be a color commentator.

He'd prove me wrong. But I honestly think that Tucker and Putin align on more than they disagree so pushing back would be quite a surprise.No Spin Ag said:Teslag said:

You're seriously going to compare Keir Simmons going in with the full weight of NBC behind him and their own private security to Tucker going in as an independent with his one producer Justin Wells and one cameraman with nobody backing him, not even Fox. InterestingBMX Bandit said:

ADX Florence for interviewing Putin? Lol no.
Megyn Kelly interviewed him

Better dead than red
Did you just crawl out from under a rock or wake up from a coma? That saying went away with the Soviet Union which happened just over 32 years ago.
So if Carlson, ask him tough questions and survives, does that mean his producer was essentially John matrix? Was able to protect him so well.
You were overplaying the risk of death Tucker Carlson has here. He can ask tough, fair questions, and not be any risk of being murdered.

Agreed. But there's no way Tucker leaves Russia with the film to say anything other than exactly what they want him to say.BMX Bandit said:

Which is probably fine by him so it's not exactly a conflict.
And to be clear, I don't think we will see any hard questions because Tucker won't even care to ask them.
Then you have people like me who think there is not a dimes difference between Biden and Putin... ethically, morally or ideologically.

Disgusting traitor, throw him in ADX Florence with our Russian FBI double agent.
You listen or support this clown you're being fooled
What an utterly asinine take. ESPECIALLY when you realize how thoroughly corrupt our administration and mainstream media are.
Tucker sitting down with Putin allows us to hear *directly* from the leader of a world superpower, without the bias and agenda our corrupt mainstream media absolutely would have injected.
What exactly is traitorous about interviewing someone??
