  1. That was an amazing historic event that could change journalism and politics word-wide for the better. Putin was impressive, yet looked so depressed at having to face endless BS from the US.

  2. What you are saying at the end is not what Putin said. Putin said he was fine with Ukraine having self-determination, but Russia had interests there too. He was trying to work that out with Yanukovych when the coup happened. So far as we know the US has political, military and economic interests in all countries and when a country does something, like for instance Ukraine walking out on negotiations with Russia because of Western pressure. The fear you are talking about are likely from US scare tactics, like we will instigate a war and you will be caught in the middle. Nato can also be looked at like a protection racket. I think Putin's narrative wasn't perfect, but it was about as close to the truth as any country's official narrative including our own.

  3. Ian, I think your whole thesis of "no news made" while correct missed the point that if you stated most of what you call no news during the last two years on a discussion board on the Washington Post you'd get deleted or banned. If one tried to just bring up one or two facts about Ukraine, a swarm of someone's propganda trolls would descend and attack you with insults while posting activity would go up and the whole conversation would run way off the bottom of the page.

  4. The only thing that matters is what Putin said. All the analysis of Tucker Carlson's Putin interview is about Carlson. I've not seen a single piece about the analysis of what Putin said - and that is the only thing that matters. Vladimir Putin is 71 years old. Trump is 77 and Biden is 81. Putin talked coherently for 2 hours and 20 minutes to Tucker Carlson the other day. Could either of our American Presidents do that? It is embarrasing to see that. Putin is sharp. He knows his facts, and he presents them well.
