Servile, if Tucker’s career wasn’t dead before it is now. Slobbering and fawning over a bloody dictator, what do you do for an encore? Interview little rocket boy? Maybe, the softer side of the Iranian Revolutionary Guard or the Ayatollah’s Children’s Hour? Tucker has run himself up a one-way street. Jaundiced his reputation like Andy Kaufman in the professional wrestling ring. A stunt gone wrong.
As forecast, Trucker’s self-immolation was complete and one of the least viewed interviews of modern times. I like many, only watched the selected lowlights and would not subject myself to the entire two hours. Unless I was a felon guilty of a horrible, horrible crime. I saw enough! I saw the cat and the mouse sparring as the cat planned the kill, while the mouse tried making friends with the cat.
The KGB agent and the Fox News agent. Any guesses how this will likely turn out? Any wagers? Mike Tyson vs. Greg Brady, one on one.
From the translation, Putin was mocking Tucker Carlson. Putin was putting on a show for his domestic audience. “Watch me tear this dumbass American a new asshole, live on TV!” The words slithering from Putin’s lips while Trucker giggles and guffaws like the glorified jackass he is. As they say, lost in the translation.
Either Trucker didn’t get it that he was being roasted or he didn’t care. He was just there as Donald Trump’s courier. Oh, what am I saying? I mean, he was just there to do a very important interview with the most infamous character on the world stage today. You know who didn’t think the interview was very important? Vladimir, that’s who.
This was exactly what everyone expected it to be. The Fuhrer’s diatribe about Germans being mistreated in the Sudetenland. Only interrupted occasionally by Trucker softball questions. Like an infomercial, “Tell us more about this exciting opportunity! How interesting, hmmm!”
You see back in the days of Czars and Winter palaces, Ukraine belonged to Russia. Back before Tolstoy and Dostoevsky and Mussorgsky. Before Lenin or Marx, Ukraine was a vassal state inside Russia. Putin believes the divorce isn’t final, and he still has marital rights to the property. His explanations and foundations are so weak. “Well, you see, five hundred years ago… back three or four revolutions ago.”
Some people steal cars and some steal money, but only the truly ambitious steal whole countries. Now you find yourself the ruling dictator over a cadre of oligarchs. They suck up every speck of cash in the economy and leave it stunted and moribund. What to do, what to do? When perchance you happen to notice this big-fat juicy country, right next door. Now pretend you’re a dictator and you need new sources of money to keep the boys happy. So, what do you do?
What other reason is there for the oligarchs to go along with Putin? As he drives Russia back into the 17th Century, if not too wet their own beaks. Is this existential for Russia, are they headed for doom and needed a radical solution quick? We can’t see the books.
In a way, Putin might have shown us too much. In his caustic comedy he is secure and confident. Relaxed with his laser pointer playing with Trucker on the floor. The KGB agent eviscerating the unsuspecting dupe.
No new knowledge was gained, or new information gleaned. A spank the monkey propaganda extravaganza with Trucker holding the lube. The interview was pointless. Putin’s supporters don’t need the rah, rah and his detractors won’t pay any attention to it.
Let me please clarify as there was some new knowledge gained. Trucker asked a question prefaced with the assumption Adolf Hitler is dead eighty years. Putin stopped him and said that Hitler was still alive. Yes, you see through Russian wizardry Hitler is still alive at 135 years old and lives in the basement of the Kremlin. See, Putin is not serious. He was fucking with Trucker. Trying to insult him into standing up for himself. Just how big a whopper will he swallow without comment. “In the basement, huh?”
Why is Trucker Carlson really in Moscow? It all seems a bit put on, doesn’t it? Taking Tucker around Moscow like a celebrity or dignitary and showing him off like a prize pig. “Welcome, we’re so glad you’re here.” (Think: Bram Stoker’s Dracula.) The master will join us after sunset. “Garsh thanks! Why do I feel like I’m being disloyal?” Obvious answer?
What did Putin get from the interview? Nothing really, a chance to pick apart an American fraud and call him so in the process. What did Trucker get from the interview? Nothing really, it’s not like he had that much of a reputation left to lose. This was Trucker’s shot at returning to the big time. The big interview, take that Fox News! Rather than returning Trucker to the top it has sealed his fate. Al Capone’s vaults are empty!
So, it leaves us in a quandary, why? Why would Trucker risk his career on one roll of the dice and why would Putin bother to be interviewed by a gibbering jackass? It all seems like an act without an obvious purpose. So, perhaps there is a less obvious purpose to the visit. Now let’s think; what friends do Vladimir Putin, and Trucker Carlson have to talk about in common? What do you suppose the two talked about when the cameras were off?
Who is it, who always has something to say about everyone and criticizes everything? Yet is mum on Trucker’s interview and trip to Moscow. I wonder if Trucker’s return flight will stop at Mir-A-Lago first before going home? If Trucker’s phone isn’t tapped by now, it should be.
