MODERATORS
I can picture the whole interview already.
I need a remindme bot to remind me if this will all come true.
A bot would be nice, but I know it will. Putin will use this interview to sow more division, undermine certainty (whatever is left of it) in an Ukrainian victory and to make himself look reasonable and willing to talk. And Tucker, by virtue of being both part of the new, autocracy-loving breed of conservative and unable to mount any serious push-back against arguments made, will fail entirely in giving proper context to anything Putin will say.
The interview will devolve into pure propaganda for Putin, another link for delusional Russia-supporters to point to and proclaim that the West is responsible for everything and that the whole situation would be fine and dandy, if only Ukraine surrendered.
