Tucker Carlson is interviewing Vladimir Putin

[Smitty]

This makes sense. Let's do nothing until it explodes in your face.

Instead of spending a fraction of the military budget on Ukraine, let's waste it all and wait until we have to commit the entire population and economy to war. Sounds like a plan!

Short-termism is idiocy. It's for people hit in the forehead who can't plan.

You went straight for the most extreme, worst-case scenario. Of course, that's the only way to make American involvement make sense. I just got done saying Europe could wage this war themselves, and they could. They have the wealth. They have the manpower. And don't tell me they don't know how to make war. If Russia is the threat everyone says they are, this is Europe's job, not ours. Your side would have us sit here like a psych ward paranoiac, swatting increasingly impotently at every potential threat ten degrees removed from us. That's a good way to bleed us dry, and that's been precisely the plan for some 70-80 years.

The full video title is "Sharri Markson calls out Tucker Carlson for tapping into 'isolationist' American sentiment".

It raises a question. What the hell kind of paleoconservative are you?

I'm a conservative populist, but not a paleoconservative, because the U.S. can no longer afford a foreign policy of rigid isolationism. America is not a country that exists by itself on another planet; in that case, no known weapon system could reach us there. Of course, in reality America dwells on the planet Earth. Furthermore, ...

...
... since both countries can launch nuclear weapons that can reach the U.S. in minutes or hours, the U.S. can't afford to be isolationist when it comes to Russia and China. Prior to the end of World War II, there were no intercontinental bombers, no ICBM's, and no long-range cruise missiles [the V-1 had an operational range of 250 km (160 mi), according to the Wiki article about it]. If we lived in a year prior to that war, I would be an isolationist; but I would still be a good neighbor to Europe, and keep track of how well it was doing.

Really disappointed when Putin said he will not invade Europe.

Europe is a total lost cause and needs to be re Europeanised.

Like how Russia said they were absolutely not going to invade Ukraine?

Once again, I will repeat, people like you were busy for months mocking Russia to be backwards, outdated, fighting with God knows what equipment and weapons, claiming and explaining with enjoyment how Russia will never win in Ukraine. Now you and similar people claim that Russia wants and CAN invade NATO countries. How? Just tell that you wish it, you need it as reason to continue proxy wars against Russia and fear mongering of own populace, not that you are really scared of real Russian invasion which will never happen for objective reasons, even if Russia wanted it.

You wish further confrontation at all levels, just admit it.

FYI, I am scared of Russian invasion. If they succeed in Ukraine Putin will use the momentum to connect with Kaliningrad.

Total failure of a interview. Embarassing.

[Insuperable]

I didn't watch the interview. But I know that Carlson asked him did Russia felt threatened by the USA or NATO as a reason for the invasion of Ukraine. And he ended up giving a 20 min history speech. If so... so much about NATO and stuff.
