[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My takeaway from the parts I've seen so far was that Putin showed both outright and subtle contempt for Tucker and used this platform to try to show the superiority of Russia with a boring, rambling history lesson that went back into antiquity.   Most Americans (including myself,  honestly) operate on a much shorter timeline.

Basically,  it seems like Putin's invasion of Ukraine has a lot of historical context that mostly was inflamed by post-cold war NATO expansion decisions.  I've been reading some interesting George Kennon arguments against NATO expansion back in the late 1990s.  It's depressing to realize decisions made decades ago impact whether my children and my neighbors children will fight in wars. I feel like our political system is so broken it is impossible that there is cohesive long-term effective diplomacy or strategy to keep us out of wars.

As someone who can't tell you my ethnicity beyond some sort of Irish, German, Italian, Greek, English blend, I struggle to understand other people's deep connection and feelings of entitlement to certain swathes of land occupied by long ago ancestors.  That goes for Russia/Ukraine and also for Israel/Gaza.  [/quote]

I was taken aback by how many times he put Tucker down. [/quote]
