  • Live Ukrainian War, last minute

After two years in which, according to the

Kremlin, Vladimir Putin

"has rejected numerous requests" from Western journalists to interview him, the Russian dictator has granted one. The beneficiary is the American commentator

Tucker Carlson,

one of the promoters of the 'replacement theory', which maintains that there is a conspiracy to replace white men with immigrants.

Carlson, who was fired a year ago from the Fox News

network ,

has stated on air "I am with

Russia"

in the invasion of

Ukraine,

and has defended the thesis of retired American lieutenant colonel Douglas Macgregor that

the United States

is a rival of Russia because that "is a Christian country. Carlson has recently interviewed the leader of the British far-right

Nigel Farage

and, two months ago, the leader of Vox, Santiago Abascal.

In his interview, lasting two hours and seven minutes, Vladimir Putin repeats the usual propaganda that he has been launching since he launched the invasion of Ukraine two years ago, by repeating that Ukraine is not truly a country, but rather a kind of entity in hands of "a nationalist elite" that has tried to "create an identity using Nazi figures", for which it has had "the help of the United States and its satellites in

Europe."

The Russian president ruled out the idea of ​​invading Poland or Latvia,

two countries in which Russia "has no interests," in an interview with American presenter Tucker Carlson broadcast this Thursday.

"Can you imagine a scenario in which you send Russian troops to Poland?" Carlson asked. "Only in one case, if Poland attacks Russia," Putin responded. And he added: "We have no interest in Poland, Latvia or anywhere else. Why would we do it? We simply have no interest," says AFP.

In the courtly interview, Carlson, who ideologically agrees with Putin on everything, lets the Russian dictator announce the arrival of a multipolar world, a kind of alliance between

Moscow

and

Beijing

and the end of

the West

as we know it.
