CARLSON-PUTIN INTERVIEW SHINES LIGHT ON NATURE OF U.S. SUPPORT OF ZELENSKY REGIME
BY DAN VALENTI
PLANET VALENTI NEWS AND COMMENTARY
(FORTRESS OF SOLITUDE, MONDAY FEB. 12, 2024) — Indie news host Tucker Carlson pulled off what no other media type in America has been able to do, securing a two-hour+ interview with Russian president Vladimir Putin. Of course, this put Carlson in a no-win position with Democrats and leftists. Since they dominate the mainstream media (MM), THE PLANET expected them to beat up on Carlson. They did.
Tucker got steamrolled. Tucker played ball. Tucker was being used. Tucker’s a traitor. Tucker was seen on the Grassy Knoll with a rifle on Nov. 22, 1963 in Dallas, TX. You get the idea
Putin began with a spin back through the years, giving a long historical overview of the Russian-Ukrainian relationship. The filibuster:
—————————————————–
The net effect of the interview reinforces the need for the U.S. and the West to withdraw support for the corrupt Zelensky, thus taking the biggest, most pragmatic and likely-to-succeed step in bringing peace to the region.
————————————————-
- Allowed Putin to take control of the interview.
- Explained the unalterable historical pressures of more than a millennia as rationale for the current war.
- Revealed that the President of the United States is not running America but the shadowy figures that must approve (or not) every move the President makes.
- Made the case that Ukraine is an artificial state, as are many of the countries in Eastern Europe and Baltics. Those arbitrarily moved borders explain many of the conflicts now plaguing the region.
The net effect of the interview put the biggest question on the line for America: Should the U.S. and the West to withdraw from the Ukraine? THE PLANET says yes to thus take the biggest, most pragmatic and likely-to-succeed step in bringing peace to the region. This would, in effect, call Putin’s hand.
Countless billions in U.S. aid have gone unaccounted for in Ukraine. Zelensky and Co. are playing us for suckers as we support and prop up their corrupt government.
———- ooo ———-
As a head of state, Putin came off as sharp, quick, informed, and in control. Contrast that with the confused old man with a bad memory now in the Oval Office. Slow-Joe Biden can lick an ice cream cone with the best of them, but he can’t lick the rapidly advancing cognitive condition that’s overtaking his physical and mental acumen.
Three times last week he made major gaffes. He referred to recent conversations with France’s Francois Mitterand, dead for 28 years, and Germany head of state Helmut Kohl, gone since 2017. He also confused Egpyt with Mexico. THE PLANET gives him that one. Both countries are on planet earth, and both have one “e” in the name. People mix them up all the time. Yeah?
The matter of Biden’s fitness for the presidency assume extreme importance, as with each passing day we get a day closer to the electing a president in November.
The election couldn’t have come at a more opportune time.
———- ooo ———-
The Democrats look at the current makeup of the ticket in a panic: “a well-meaning, elderly man with a poor memory” (the devastating report on Biden by special counsel Robert Hur) and an incompetent, laughing hyena who’s on the ticket because she “checks all the right boxes” as a “privileged class.” Of color. Of foreign descent. Female. The only thing missing is a Lesbo or Trans label.
Dems are likely to get more desperate as each near November. They realize their only shot at keeping Slow Joe and Hyena Girl in office is to eliminate Trump.
Strategy A: Barrage the former president with lawsuits to make him ineligible to run. If that doesn’t work …
Strategy B: Begin now to rig another election. If that doesn’t work …
Strategy C: “Happiness is a Warm Gun.”
It is a dire time for Experiment America. A tiny group of shadowy figures hold enormous power, making decisions that are blatantly antithetical to a society that well-balances freedom and security.
Historically democracy has been stock best to sell short. Looks like Franklin will be proven correct after all: “A republic. If you can keep it.”
We’re on the verge of losing it.

Putin the propagandist poker player is worse than the predictable Pittsfield politics always raising its municipal operating budget by between 5 percent to 10 percent per fiscal year since the early-1980’s after the misguided and arbitrary Proposition 2.5 state law went into effect in Massachusetts – it is all a financial shell game from Pittsfield to Boston.
Putin’s own Russian people do NOT all support Russia’s authoritarian dictator. Just like Pittsfield’s taxpayers do not support the city soaking them with excessive municipal spending. Interestingly, if Russia had a real democracy, then Russian voters would vote out Putin, but Pittsfield’s pseudo-democracy sees voter turnout at around 20 percent in local elections, which means that around 80 percent of voters know that the fix is always in when it comes to Pittsfield politics.
Where I now live in Southern New Hampshire, I hear stories from local people I know and have talked to about local Russian families who live in the area that I now live in who are split and fighting with each other about the 2-year-old Russian invasion of Ukraine. It does not look and sound to me like the Russian people are all favorable of Putin and his militaristic actions in Ukraine.
Lastly, around 21 years ago, Joe Biden – along with billionaire John Forbes Kerry and Hillary Clinton – voted for the second Iraq conflict whereby the U.S. Government invaded Iraq, which holds the 2nd largest oil fields in the world second only to number one Saudi Arabia. Putin’s Russian Government invaded Ukraine. Xi’s Chinese Government plans to invade Taiwan. Joe Biden is the pot calling the kettle(s) black!

C’mon Man!! You know that Russia is the boogey man….just ask the rabbit! On another item I found it funny that you thought the council met last Tuesday instead of this week. It is very fitting that the city’s government meets on Fat Tuesday, it fits them like a glove, they won’t be acquitted because the glove fits! They have the waste and the waist to show for it! Unfortunately us Kapanski’s have to pay for all of it:(
Biden is the puppet of this small group of “shadowy figures”. If this group continues to control Joe Biden and/or Kamala for another 4 years, this country is finished. Michelle Obama or Gavin Newsome would bring similar results. Only a moderate Democrat would be acceptable to save this country, but remember that the country was sold the lie that Joe Biden was a moderate. We quickly found out the truth about just how far left he is within a few days of him becoming president. At this point I think only Trump can be trusted because even some Republicans are caught up in the corruption that is currently happening in this country. Nikki Haley is all for sending billions more to Ukraine and I agree with you Dan that we need to stop transferring our wealth to Ukraine. Chucky Schumer and the Senate is preparing for us to send billions more to Ukraine and we have no way to track where this money is really going.
The Demented Fraud hasn’t ever been anything but a disposable puppet for the criminally corrupt
Democrats.It’s an election year – the lies will keep on coming from those in power that created this mess.
Hillary’s first term.
It would appear she shared it with Obama.
Clinton and Carville are a busy pair.
I have a similar take, Dan. Tucker rang the alarm bell.
. “A Republic, if you can keep it” depends on a population educated and informed of its founding.
An educated American would recognize Putin’s historical narrative as conventional Socialist Realist mythology: : the panorama of mythology like Siberiad; Putin on a horse in the wilderness or wrestling a (drugged) polar bear.
Utter nonsense. Carlson is a quisling who posed no tough or difficult questions for Putin. Putin has separated thousands of Ukranian children from their parents to brainwash these poor kids into hating their own country.

Carlson is the epitome of a “useful idiot,” long used by Communists to spread their propaganda.

The US Senate has voted for ZERO BORDER SECURITY, but has just approved 98 BILLION pieces of Judas silver, for money laundering in Ukraine, Israel, and Taiwan.
This shows where the true priorities of Chucky Schumer, the far left, and even some Republicans are, and it’s not the safety and security of Americans. They will tell you, or should I say lie to you, that by sending billions to Ukraine, they are protecting Americans which nobody can prove, but our open border is killing Americans everyday with Fentanyl and other drugs, diseases, and the strong potential of violence from terrorists crossing our border, overcrowding conditions in the big cities, and Americans competing with the invasion of illegal immigrants for housing.
Yes. Dems have spent billions to help Ukraine secure its borders (eventually a losing effort, with all that $$ thrown away) while demolishing the USA southern border. On that basis alone, Biden-Harris (the “border czar,” remember?) not just lose but get crushed.
It’s your border now Dan.You need to fix it.Chaos
If you insist.
Not hard to do. Doesn’t even need legislation.
Typical liberal progressive far leftist you are.You blame everyone else but where blame should be placed. Joe Bumble’s on day one opened the border wider for all to come more than anytime in border history. To boot Bumble Joe sent out invitations to them to come.
Schnooky Screwme is the devils apprentice whose diabolical work, will always be about making sure his personal coffers are overflowing and his pensive prevarications, always orchestrated to fool the naive and propagandized sheeple
The democrats have drafted a new law (imbedded in the Ukraine funding bill), that will require Trump (if elected) to spend money on Ukraine. And if he negotiates an end to the war, (which he said he would do), and stops the funding, the democrats would in turn argue that he has broken the law. In so doing, this would give the democrats reason to impeach him. JD Vance Sen. of Ohio, sent a memo today warning his colleagues of this nefarious provision. Democrats will never cease in their attempt, via their tenacious and relentless actions, to keep President Trump out of the White House.
Prediction: The Senate will (barely) pass the bill, but it will die in the House, as it should.
Prediction: Trump will sends lots of blankets to Ukraine. Problem solved.
And, if we can’t even find $10,000,000 in blankets, then the Dems could talk about manufacturing again and restoring domestic textiles?
Exacto mundo. It still amazes, even the simpleminded, how so many Senate Republican’ RINO’s will in all likelihood vote for it, they have never wanted a bill passed more than this one for Ukraine. Must be lots of bank accounts of these reprobates being well filled
Weird shit, as GWB would say. A law forcing a President to send weapons to a foreign nation in perpetuity. I’d say it’s not to be believed, but it probably is.
Biden had a good start when he left all the military hardware as gifts to his Taliban buddies
Yes. While it took me a whole day to find a lost dollar in a bank reconciliation, in one hour Biden lost a billion plus some soldiers there.
“Dems…realize their only shot at keeping Slow Joe and Hyena Girl in office is to eliminate Trump.”
Dems most fervent wish is for Trump to remain the nominee because Trump would be much easier for Biden/Harris to beat than Haley.
Tucker is actually being a journalist rather than an actor paid to push a narrative. I watched the Super Bowl with a friend who was surprised when he saw the Kennedy campaign ad come on. He said “There’s a Kennedy running for president?” I said yes, didn’t any of the news channels you watch mention that ? He said “no”. The mainstream media has created a matrix where its viewers are both uninformed and misinformed.
The Kennedy ad was interesting. It was done to mimic Uncle Jack’s 1960 commercials and marketing. B&W, scratchy film, similar graphics. Clever. One of the best among all the ads.
It will get worse this fall.
RFK Jr was disgusted with the fixed Democrat primary process, so he’s running Independent. DNC primaries in 2016 and 2020 were also corrupt.
Main Stream “News” media, is more concerned with who Taylor Swift is currently sleeping with. .
Another anti Semectic shooting in Houston Texas. Yet Israel snipers take out innocent people.
I read a news article that homelessness numbers are expected to increase in early-2024.
https://www.iberkshires.com/story/74414/Berkshire-Point-In-Time-Count-on-Homelessness-Likely-to-Increase.html
If the date affirms the forecast, then Governor Maura Healey should revert her $375 million in state funding cuts to social services agencies and other state programs.
Governor Maura Healey is a failed public manager. She does not seem to understand financial management, too. She is a lawyer instead of a manager. I do not understand why she would have wanted to be the Governor of Massachusetts, which is a financially-based state.
Communities and regions in Massachusetts rely on state funding for social services agencies. Governor Maura Healey is placing people in these communities, which means she should be increasing state funding for social services agencies.
I wonder if Governor Maura Healey is a moron. I wish I could sit down and talk with her to explain why she is a failed public manager. I would tell her that it is her job to deliver positive results for all of the people in all of the commonwealth.

Snow is expected to begin overnight in Great Barrington on Monday (2/12/24) night, and at a good clip. We can expect rapid deterioration of roads for the morning commute, and as our fathers would say a rapid increase of Yahoos on the roads. For those that don’t know what a Yahoo is, it is a person who drives faster than they should, expect their car to react as if it was sunny and 70, and typically end up in a ditch, off the road, into another car, or at minimum have soiled underwear because they had a near miss. Being a yahoo is preventable and curable. Don’t be a yahoo.
The forecasters are all over the place with expected totals, anywhere from 6-12+ to 3-6 has been predicted, either way there will be some shoveling to do.
Huh. The Houyhnhnm Fire Department learnt to type.
Thinking over the histories of the various European nations, and especially the IndoEuropean mix of Russia- not really European, not exactly Asian, I see the reason the USA is singled out for defamation and extinction. OUr history is really one of success over adversity. From the crushing weight of the most supreme military tyranny of the land and seas, Americans had won both ideologically and militarily. There were countless wars since, wars with native tribes which saw terrible losses for both, people transplanted from Europe into the deadly environment of the Dakotas where cold snaps could kill a village within an hour, civil war, and depressions. Throughout all that, the US continued to grow, prosper, and continue its political and ideological traditions.
Compare the map of the USA today to that of Europe 1820, and then tell me, which is the ‘artificial state.’
You PV bloggers are doing the bidding of Putin and the Russian propaganda machine. I would suspect that some of the anonymous posters to this blog are actually Russian bot hackers who are spreading the view that is not in the interest of the US to support the NATO alliance.
So as not to remain anonymous myself, my name is Jerry Packard (you all know me as Kindergarden – google Jerome Packard and you’ll see who I am); I went to grammar school for 9 years with Danny and went to high school with Chuck Trzcinka. I volunteered at age 17 for the USAF (AFSC/(MOS) 20630/20450) serving 4 years as a combat intel specialist in SEA (incl VN) and Langley acting as a classified courier briefing soldiers on enemy threat and capability and SERE. I got out and finished a BA magma cum laude in Chinese in 3 years and then an MA and PhD in Chinese linguistics at Cornell University, paying my way with the GI Bill and by teaching Chinese as a TA. I taught Chinese and Psycholinguistics as a professor at UPenn and then the University of Illinois for 36 years, training thousands of undergrads in language and hundreds of grad students in Chinese linguistics and experiment design. I retired 4 years ago and now split my time between Massachusetts and Florida.
Kindergarden is intended to trope the garden of the kinder (i.e., the children) and my hope for a kinder America.
We disrespect and withdraw from the NATO alliance at great peril to our solvency as a nation. We do need the help of our alliances to remain safe. You PV bloggers don’t know who your true friends are, encouraged by your fearless leader who continues to egg you on for his own self-aggrandizement.
By supporting Russian propaganda you all are doing our country a grave disservice. I didn’t put a uniform on at age 17 to defend against our foreign enemies so that you bloggers could help take us down from the inside.
You folks had better think long and hard about who your real friends and enemies are before it’s too late.
JERRY
A magnificent post. You have the courage to “out” yourself. Bravo, my dear Friend! For the rest of you, Jerry and I spent 10 years together as classmates and Best Buds. Many a story there!
Thank you for sharing but I believe you need to take a good long hard look at who you are supporting. For some reason you believe the Biden cartel isn’t corrupt even though they admittedly have done crimes and have not been brought before any jury. How come the “National News (propaganda machines”) Outlets have yet to talk about Robert Kennedy, Jill Stein or even our own Jessie Brown who are all running for the Presidency? Isn’t getting the news out to the citizens so they can make an informed decision their role in society? That is unless you are corrupt and trying to keep power aka Russia, China, Venezuela, etc! I have Democrat friends who during the Super Bowl were asking me when did Kennedy start his run for the Presidency,,,I informed them it’s been over a year. These people are loyal viewers of all CNN, NPR and MSNBC. So again I think someone should take their own advice and if you really were a Professor I suggest go back and research all that is happening with the Democrat Party since 1980.
Jerry spent too much time sharing his “wisdom” with adolescents entering college. He thinks posters here should be in awe of his BS like young minds whose brains are not fully formed. Go back to Romper Room Jerry.
Many, many in our military do not support the agenda of Joe Biden and think he is taking our country down from the inside for the benefit of his globalist buddies. More soldiers are dying under the watch of Joe Biden than ever before due to his disastrous policies and shoddy military equipment. We seem to be sending our best military equipment to Ukraine or leaving it behind in Afghanistan. Nobody trusts Russia, but we also have reason to not trust our own government when we see what is being done with our open borders at a time when the world is so dangerous. Tucker Carlson believes that it’s best to keep your friends close and your enemies closer and I think he is absolutely right.
GI Jerry made the world safe for democracy!
Making democracy safe for the Chinese World. Not too much, just enough for a McDonalds and a KFC on every corner.
China’s brilliance has been the embrace of “the middle way” between communism and capitalism. Not perfect, of course, but it’s been been using a “best practices” approach to engineer the stunning progress made there.
You gone fishing.
I disagree. The Chinese Most Favored status is based on the lie that the Chinese are even slightly inclined towards capitalism. They are not except to distort and destabilize free markets. The CCP did not blend communism with capitalism. they are straight out communism. If you invest in a Chinese business, you invest not in the business, its wealth, its strategy, or even its competitiveness; you strictly invest in the whim of the CCP policy.
There is only one market theory: Smith’s market theory. Capitalism approaches from one end: let capital drive policy. Communism: let government drive policy. The USA, with commerce law, UCC interstate treaties, environmental law and regulation is potentially the blend of gov/capital balance.
They are no more capitalistic than the Pittsfield DPW raking in tax dollars and spending it on bike lanes, dumping piles of salt everywhere on warm wet days, and letting their trucks rot. It looks like capitalism in that much money is spent and accounted for, but it is driven not by any logic other than that which drives theft.
Jerry,
Yet you continue to support the policies of the O’Biden regime which are killing our country.
The world has changed. The globalists want to destroy national sovereignty of all world powers in favor of one world government. O’Biden is handing over our sovereignty to the U.N., giving them total control over our health policies. Do you think the 95 billion the Senate just authorized for Ukraine is going to guard their border? Money laundering, baby.
“Liberalism is a mental disorder.” – Michael Savage
The world has not changed a bit. The ideology of post “Cold War” which never saw a defeat – just a realignment – pretended that the world changed.

Hang Zheng is the first name that attaches. A (now long retired) employee of the USDA spoke of the flood of Chinese CP (what I call foot soldiers) flooding US government agencies. They came to conventions bearing wonderful gifts for our gov emps. “Come to China! We will treat you like an honored guest, all free, what do you have to lose!”
Yes, what would one have to lose indeed.
The employee closed that story with, “They were so friendly, gracious, and menacing.”

Conventional.
A long shot guess: You taught at Swarthmore. Fine college.
You might as well be talking to the Scientology crowd. These folk do not even hear you. Wind blows through one ear and out the other. Trump mush-brained them and they ain’t coming back any time soon.
It’s a shame what Agent Orange did to your mind!
I’ll bet you’ve been all over the world and help invent sand floats . Not to mention the time you taught the Eskimos how to can blubber.
I’ll go along with helping NATO if they pay what they owe and live up to their obligations.
I’ll bet you’re a legal resident of Florida so you can evade the kleptocractic Massachusetts tax system. A true liberal.
Which foreign enemies did you save us from ?
Don Trump is doing Putin work for him.Trup is a traitor and it amazes me the effect FOX and Rush Limbaugh had on democracy. Republicans now support Putin over democracy in the Ukraine and Trump over democracy in America…..White racist angry men support a rapist Authoritarian
>?
Here’s one!
“Jean-Pierre slams Hur, says ‘sharp’ Biden does more in one hour than most do in a day”
He gets up early in the morning, drinks a coffee, gives a message to his aide,and the Soviets invade Ukraine. That’s more than I could get done in 30 years.
Biden called Putin and asked “do I know who I am”?
Biden who?
Or, Joe Biden gets up, writes an EO in 15 minutes, and the Strategic Reserves disappears! How long would you need, 12 G to do that?
I think Jean-Pierre, who is very talented, has reached her expiration date. She’s not helping him.
Why was it O.K. for the U.S. Government to invade Iraq in mid-March 2003, but it is not O.K. for the Russian Government to invade Ukraine 2 years ago in 2022?
Why was it O.K. for the U.S. Government to invade Iraq in mid-March 2003, but it is not O.K. for the Chinese Government to invade Taiwan in the future?
Why is the U.S. Government’s huge military industrial complex the single biggest polluter of greenhouse gas emissions in the world, but it tells the world to adopt the so-called Green New Deal?
Why is the U.S. Government’s number 1 non-farm export to the world arms sales?
Why has the U.S. Government’s post-WW2 military conflicts around the world killed many millions of innocent people and Peoples?
Why does Wall Street make trillions of dollars in profits off of the Pentagon?
Given all of the questions, is the U.S. Government a democracy or a hypocrisy?
