Russian President Vladimir Putin had not been interviewed by an American journalist in almost three years, but this week he granted an interview to former Fox News host Tucker Carlson. That means, of course, that Putin still hasn’t been interviewed by an American journalist in three years. He was interviewed by a former Fox News entertainer.
For about the first half hour of the so-called interview, Putin lectured Carlson on Russian history from the year 862 to now. This was Putin’s way of blaming everyone from Lenin to the Bolsheviks to Poland for creating Ukraine, which he called an “artificial state.” Not once did Carlson note that Putin has killed over 30,000 Ukrainian civilians or that he’s ordered hundreds of missiles to strike civilian targets in the so-called artificial state.
