Russia has informed the Brazilian aviation accident investigation authority that so far, the latter will not investigate the crash of a Brazilian-made plane which killed Yevgeny Prigozhin, financier of the Wagner Private Military Company (PMC), as they are normally allowed under international rules.

Tucker Carlson who use to be on Fox News and very much liked by many Republicans in supporting Trump with much fake news and half truths in his reporting, he has redeemed himself since leaving Fox News by appearing on various Social media drawing huge numbers of viewers on the topics one cannot find the truth on Main Stream Media, and the subjects on the war in Ukraine is a perfect example.

Carlson’s popularity and name recognition is helping getting the truth out on Ukraine by interviewing guests who would never be allowed to appear on most MSM because Freedom of the Press does not exists in the collective West, one of the cornerstones of Democracy, so the many has been brainwashed to believe. Thanks to previous Duschebags like Tucker Carlson who are now able to make use of their platforms to allow the truth to be broadcast to the masses.

Tucker Carlson does well reinventing himself as someone who now wants to get the truth out in Ukraine. No doubt he will be targeted as being a propagandist for Russia by the ignorant and the useful idiots in the collective West.

Probably that's the future of journalism...
On the other hand, Carlson having 2.2M subscribers, 77K views on just this one, is obviously making a lot of money from Youtube. Notice he is dealing with a lot of issues not only the war in Ukraine
So...he now got financially dependent on YT so the dilemma is still hanging of what will he do, when they try to force terms on him or else ban him.That's what they did to Scott Ritter.

Great interview with Mcgregor anyway.

Ukraine says it has manufactured and fired a long-range missile

https://www.washingtonpost.com/world/20 ... ufactured/

https://www.eurasiantimes.com/super-ata ... le-in-its/

Probably that's a cover up story to divert attention for the attack at the Pskov airbase in Russia(700 Km from Ukraine, only 70 Km from Estonia's territorial waters).

Financially Tucker Carlson is very sound because of all the years he has been on TV. He doesn’t need the money from YT, much like Scott Ritter perhaps. As far as I know, Carson is still getting paid from Fox News despite being fired as his contract is still valid. No, I believe Carlson has decided to respect the truth in the topics he covers now. He doesn’t want to remain a Duschebag all his life.

Hope for others yet! :wink:

Tucker Carlson net worth is estimated to be $380 million as of 2023. Tucker Carlson earns a $35 million salary from Fox News annually, making him the highest-paid and richest television host in the world. Tucker Carlson is an American television host and conservative political commentator who has hosted the nightly political talk show Tucker Carlson Tonight on Fox News.

This Guy bored the hell out of me in the first 5 minutes with his so called, “rebuttal”, and that’s all I gave him, Just 5 minutes!

I hope you haven’t sent him the $5 bucks he has requested up front, Warrior, because I don’t think he has earned it! :wink:

Well this time I decided to follow Rw's advice and form my own opinion rather than skip it after reading your comments. After all RW does a lot of work in providing what he thinks is useful information.

I agree he is boring up to the 5th min advertising himself.

At about the 9th minute he starts discussing the casualties and he talks nonsense. The number of casualties can be estimated with +-15% accuracy, indirectly as I mentioned before.
So MacGregor was right, and he is wrong.
cyprus47975-11510.html#p937202

At about the 10th minute he starts discussing the claim that Russia presumably has 300K troops waiting at the back. He doubts that, as I personally doubt it too.(Link above). The only valid point I found so far.

Between the 11-16 minute he tries to counter the argument that the US would be defeated in a conventional war with Russia. This is irrelevant, both from Macgregor's side as well as his, because such war will escalate to nuclear very quickly anyway.

At the 16th minute he starts talking about Russia's concerns regarding nuclear weapons already positioned around her territory plus flying nuclear bombers like B52 near her borders, and claims that Russia's concerns are not serious for various reasons. He sprouts too much nonsense in his argumentation.

He then returns to the issue of comparing Russian and American weapons as e.g. the Bradleys, Abrams, and Javelins to claim that what Ukraine got was not the latest version, so the American weapons are superior iho.

I watched it until the 23 minute...

A tit for tat show without providing his own evidence, but still grading everything as very unlikely.
Well if Macgregor was the only one with the exact same argumentation, then I could accept the "very unlikely" grade. However he is not the only one...
