Great conversation. I had to laugh when he said western diplomats behaved like children, avoiding him at summits. Not surprising unfortunately.

Tucker scores again. Must be a Russian commie spy🥴

It sure seems to me that Lavrov can run circles around our state dpt. And I don’t see our own state dept sitting down with Tucker to tell their side. Oh wait. That’s what the MSM propaganda machine is doing for them. Swallow those lies people - we are righteous! Just ask Blackrock.

We are in maximum chaos mode as a set up for Trump

Anthony Blinken needs to send Tucker a thank you card for doing his job for him...

Is the Russian Federation seeking to rebuild its dominion and Communism along with it? The UN is run by socialists and totalitarians. Erdogan is the Muslim Brotherhood in a suit and definitely no friend to Christians. So what is the end goal with all of these players?

It is in their interest to Make Russia Great Again. But Putin's objectives strike me as remarkably modest, given that "Kievan Rus" was the first Russian state, and that the linguistic basis for an independent Ukraine is dubious.

I have seen no interest in rebuilding Communism. No one knows better than the Russians how well that worked ...

Power is a massive incentive… the UN seems to be signaling it wants the world run under the China model. God help us all if they have that power.

The UN is and always been a sinsiter globalist organization. The eugenicist Huxley family had a hand in beginning it.

Notice all the NGOs which have been covers for gaining unelected power.

Even the Demos, or at least their Far Left "Thought Leaders", seem to regard China as the model. That is why I regard them as truly evil. Given that by far most Demo-held seats in House are non-competitive, as are many in the Senate, it is sadly predictable that Far Leftists will continue to win primaries, and so will automatically win elections.

Sadly, there are ‘Republicans’ who just want to ride the gravy train that near forced labor in China provides for profit. So, it is both sides.

I think we should force all federal elected officials and "political" appointees to "divest" from China.

So much here… the dark money, all the lobbyist writing proposed legislation, etc.

Frankly, I think they should be forced to divest from everything. No trading, at all, during their term. This has multiple benefits: they would have little incentive to manipulate markets to their benefit; they would be forced to invest in more static vehicles, like CDs or Treasuries (no getting rich that way, but they'd pay a whole lot more attention to interest rates), and best of all, the would have a great incentive to get the heck OUT of office.

"So what is the end goal with all of these players?"

One Word...Power.

That is certainly the easy answer, and the most probable. Whether it is the US, Israel, Islam, Rome, China or Russia… there are downsides to all of these choices, depending on how they treat ideologies and religions they do not agree with.

The SCARY part is near the end when Lavrov essentially says....

[Don't assume that the United States would be exempt from a nuclear attack in the unfortunate event that nukes get used.] 😲😰

OMG.

Yeah, that was downright scary.

If you take his word as gospel sucker is a light term for you.

No one is saying that Lavrov is speaking 100% truth, but he is speaking some truth. The skill is to figure out truth from propaganda. Just like everywhere else

Most people speak "some" truth at least the good liars that's how they can keep lying.

Been waiting for this. Thanks for posting Sasha!!

Great interview of a very articulate guest--but, Ronalds Regan's 'trust, but verify', still holds true... Our 'guard' has not only been let down--it is nowhere to be seen. January 20th can't get here soon enough--although, Team Trump, it appears, is already running things to an extent...

I struggled to keep my mind on this interview, mostly because it lacks the back-and-forth of most of Tucker's interviews. What I did take away is that the ineptitude (at best) of the Americans that are supposed to be working on our relations with Russia are idiots. It's nice to have my opinion validated by Lavrov.

Sad that Russia behaves more honestly, ethically and morally than we do.

"Troodo will send confiscated firearms to Ukraine, aid war effort"

Troodo has made many types of guns illegal in Canada. He is conficating these from Canadians, and sending them to the Ukraine.

That should tell you something.

As much as we need their opinion viewpoint also do not trust it as gospel just as much you don't trust the MSM.

Ukraine Opens Talks With Trump To End War, & Moscow's Billion-Dollar Money-Laundering Network

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LV-FVmsqvOI

Dec. 6 2024

In this episode of The President's Daily Brief:

• First, senior members of the incoming Trump administration have begun holding high level talks with leaders from Kyiv, seeking to narrow large differences in their visions for how to bring the war in Ukraine to a close ahead of Trump’s return to the White House in January.

• Later in the show, Iranian-backed Hezbollah militants have declared their intention to fight against rebel insurgents in Syria on behalf of the Assad regime, as Israel warns that the regime’s defenses are at risk of collapse.

• Plus, authorities in the U.K. have taken down a sprawling billion-dollar Russian money-laundering network used by foreign spies and Russian elites seeking to bypass international sanctions.

• In our 'Back of the Brief' segment, a tragic update out of Israel, as a long awaited probe by the Israeli Defense Forces has found that six hostages whose bodies were recovered from Gaza in August were likely killed by their Hamas guards back in February as Israeli forces closed in.

Sure would like to know what justifications Lavrov & Putin have for Russia attacking a supposedly sovereign nation.

If NATO and the US supposedly have their arms tied in defending Ukraine then one might reasonably wonder why the UN isn't picking up the ball. And if they can't -- or won't -- then why can't other supposedly "unaligned" nations do so? Particularly since Russia has roped the North Koreans into their game of high-stakes chicken.

Lavrov stated it 3 times, violations by the West and its "partner" Zelinski, of the previous agreements made over NATO expansion, Ukrainian unity, and Western interference in the nations bordering Russia.
