The US economy is not the Standards and Poor’s Index. I’m pessimistic about where we are headed, but that’s based off my industry.

I’m not asking to dispute or debate. True curiosity. Can you share specifics that lead to your pessimism?
I’m seeing my natural gas and oil revenue shrinking, grains costs more to grow than it’s worth, and after what USDA said today we are headed for a 1980’s type farm economy meltdown. Thank God I have cows.

It was a long debate. Probably not much new disclosed. It was already known Putin wanted in NATO. Putin said that President Clinton was open minded about it but got back with him to tell him it was off, making Putin wonder who controls American presidents.
yeah wasn't anything Nutters in it at all
Poland (Not Hitler) started WWII, CIA blew up Nord Stream: Putin bombshell claims
Putin also claimed the only reason he invade Ukraine was because the US CIA had successfully executed a Coup in the country when the old Govt was run out of town and overthrown.. He said when the old Russian friendly Govt was overthrown he knew at that moment he had to invade them. SO he blamed the US for his reason for invading Ukraine........this is now the 3rd or 4th OFFICIAL reason for the invasion out of the Kremlin
At one point the official reason was to save Russians who wanted be to part of Russia, then he blamed Nazi's in Ukraine saying Nazi's had taken over the Govt and they had to clear out them out.
I haven't watched it but I seriously doubt "debate" is the right word to use.

It just all crap Propaganda....so the UK is responsible for Ukraine war ongoing
Putin reportedly told Carlson that former United Kingdom Prime Minister Boris Johnson "dissuaded" the leader of Ukraine's leading party from signing a document to end the conflict, Knewz.com has learned.
According to The Daily Mail, Putin told Carlson that Ukraine signed a deal to end the war but backed out after Johnson said it was "better to fight Russia."
Putin alleged that Davyd Arakhamia, the head of Ukraine's ruling party, put his "preliminary signature" on a document after negotiations with Russia in Istanbul before changing his stance.
"But then he [Arakhamia] publicly stated to the whole world, we were ready to sign this document but Mr. Johnson, then the Prime Minister, came and dissuaded us from doing this, saying it was better to fight Russia," Putin said. "They would give everything needed for us to return what was lost during the clashes with Russia. And we agreed with this proposal."
Putin said the idea of Kyiv refusing to sign the deal was "ridiculous."
"And it's very sad to me because, as Mr. Arakhamia put it, we could have stopped those hostilities with war a year and a half ago already. But the British persuaded us, and we refused this. Where is Mr. Johnson now? And the war continues," Putin said.
Putin also accused the United States of dissuading Ukraine officials from ending the war.
"We prepared the huge document in Istanbul that was initialed by the head of the Ukrainian delegation. He had fixed his signature to some of the provisions, not to all of it. He put his signature and then he himself said, we were ready to sign it, and the war would have been over long ago. Eighteen months ago," Putin said.
"However, Prime Minister Johnson came, talk to us out of it and we missed that chance. Well, you missed it. You made a mistake. Let them get back to that."
According to The Daily Mail, Maria Zakharova, the Russian foreign ministry spokesperson, claimed that Johnson "banned" Ukraine from signing a truce.
However, Johnson denied the accusation, telling The Times of London, "This is nothing but total nonsense and Russian propaganda."
Arakhamia backed up Johnson's words, saying, "No peace proposals or peace agreement were possible in February or March 2022. Russia entered Ukraine solely for the sake of seizing territories, killing citizens and overthrowing a democratic government."
Despite claiming Russia and Ukraine were near an agreement, Moscow has increased military operations in the latter.
As Knewz.com reported on Tuesday, February 6, the Russian president has amassed 40,000 troops and 500 tanks at the front lines near Kupyansk in eastern Ukraine.
Kupyansk is right on the Ukraine-Russia border, located in the territory reclaimed by the Ukrainian forces right beside Kharkiv.
Capturing the region would spell significant progress for Putin's forces, who have already gained ground in the key town of Avdiivka on the Ukrainian frontlines.
"The Russian Federation plans to seize the entire Donetsk and Luhansk Oblasts and part of Kharkiv Oblast up to the Oskil River by March 2024," the Ukrainian Center for Defense Strategies stated about the latest development, according to the Daily Express.
With the renewed assault, it seems Putin is trying to earn a major victory ahead of the Russian presidential election in March 2024.
While his win in the election is almost guaranteed, something Knewz.com previously attributed to his "vice-like grip on the political system which grew tighter over his 24-year rule," it seems the Russian president intends to garner additional support with the latest operation.
Carlson Interview: Putin Claims He Wanted to End Ukraine War a Year Ago But UK's Boris Johnson Blocked Deal

Tucker Carlson: Moscow ‘so much nicer than any city in my country’
Pundit Tucker Carlson called Moscow “nicer” than any city in the United States and praised Russian President Vladimir Putin’s governing of the massive world superpower.“And the most radicalizing thing for me in the eight days I spent in Moscow was not just the leader of the country,” Carlson said during a recent interview at the World Government Summit, calling Putin “capable.”
“What was very shocking, very disturbing was the city of Moscow, where I’d never been … it was so much nicer than any city in my country,” he said, calling the Russian capital “so much cleaner, and prettier aesthetically — its architecture, its food, its service — than any city in the United States.”
Carlson held an exclusive interview with Putin in Russia last week, which the president used to spread propaganda about the ongoing war he is waging on Ukraine and criticize the American government.
Carlson, during his remarks at the summit, blasted the U.S. government for what he characterized as rampant crime, out of control inflation and overall failure of government, saying similar decline as occurred in European cities such as London and Paris.
When asked if he considers himself anti-American, Carlson said, “No, I am the most pro-American.”

Fine then stay in Russia. What's that you want to come back to the USA? I wonder why...
Serious question we can only guess at. Why is the modern day Republican party aligning themselves with Russia? Is it just because they hate and love the same people/things they do? Does Russia have kompromat on all these people? Has Russian $$ infiltrated the Republican party that deeply? Are they just trying to install a Russian style dictatorship here in the US? Some combination of all of the above?
Tucker Carlson Tries to Walk Back Defense of Putin’s ‘Killing’ After Navalny Death
Former Fox News host Tucker Carlson paused his charm offensive on Vladimir Putin’s behalf to express outrage over the death of Russian opposition leader Alexei Navalny on Friday.
Navalny was poisoned by Putin after years of activism against his authoritarian regime back in 2020, but nevertheless returned to Russia the following year where he was promptly thrown in prison. The Russian prison service reported that the 47-year-old Navalny collapsed and expired after a walk on Friday, but its word is to be doubted since it is under the control of Putin.
Carlson interviewed Putin last week and has also released a series of videos from his time in Moscow in which he marvels over everything in sight, from subway stations to grocery carts.
Additionally, at an event in Dubai on Monday, Carlson defended Putin’s penchant for ending lives he deems a threat, or even just inconvenient to him.
After it was pointed out that Carlson didn’t challenge Putin on his human rights record and body count during his interview with him, Carlson explained that he “didn’t talk about the things that every other American media outlet talks about.”
He continued:
But Carlson struck a different tune after he was contacted by the Daily Mail about Navalny on Friday, saying, “It’s horrifying what happened to Navalny. The whole thing is barbaric and awful. No decent person would defend it.”
Carlson has long been criticized for his defenses of Putin’s Russia, which he has suggested is despised by American policymakers because of its respect for “Christian precepts” and not Putin’s public vows to end America’s global influence.
