The first half of the interview was Putin's monologue that was mostly about Russian history. However, Vladimir Putin stated, "I have no interest in Poland or Latvia,'' and denied any intention to expand the invasion of NATO countries. Russia reiterated its readiness to negotiate a ceasefire in Ukraine and urged the US to put pressure on Zelensky's government, which has banned negotiations with Russia. Putin further said that in order to achieve a ceasefire, the United States would need to stop supplying weapons to Ukraine, saying, "Then the hostilities will end in a few weeks.''
I was expecting tough questions like these but Carlson had no time to squeeze them into the two-hour interview.
Alaska:
TUCKER: Do you see the United States as an enemy?
PUTIN: No. Categorically no. We were allies in WWII. Russians helped settle Alaska, California and we were in Hawaii too. Our people are not enemies but those in DC are certainly not our friends.
Elon Musk:
TUCKER: A lot has changed in the world. What’s your opinion of Elon Musk?
PUTIN: We see Mr. Musk as a businessman – a highly successful one. He’s built a great fortune and a huge following. He’s a unique thinker with a force of personality who cannot be bought. Some fear that.
TUCKER: Do you any advice for Elon?
PUTIN: I would say continue on. Do not be intimidated. But if the going ever gets too rough there is Russia. We would gladly open our doors to you. We have welcomed American businessmen before and would value someone of Mr. Musk’s caliber.
