Tucker Carlson Interview of Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov - December 6, 2024, Moscow

On December 6, Tucker Carlson was in Moscow to interview Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov. Lavrov has been the Russian Federation’s Foreign Minister for 20 years, since 2004. Lavrov was born in Moscow. His father was an Armenian from the Georgian SSR and his mother Russian. Lavrov speaks several foreign languages well and is fluent in English and French, so the interview was entirely in English and later translated to Russian for the Russian public. He graduated from the Moscow Institute of International Relations in 1972 and has been both a Soviet and Russian Federation diplomat since then. Lavrov consistently maintains a deliberately straight forward style of communication. He avoids speculation or exaggeration in answering questions. His knowledge of international situations and their histories is broad and deep. His intellectual, analytical, and diplomatic skills are formidable, and his credibility is highly respected in knowledgeable and objective diplomatic circles.

Neocon False Narratives, Oreshnik Hypersonic Missiles, Truth, and Peace

On Friday, November 29, Fox News national security reporter, Jennifer Griffin, gave one of her famously Neocon biased reports on the Ukraine proxy War. She had some of the straight-forward facts right. On November 28, the Russians had launched close to 200 missiles and drones against Ukrainian electrical infrastructure, knocking out power for over a million Ukrainian homes in addition to military, industrial, and communications targets. However, she made the ridiculous statement that the Russians had lost 730,000 men during the two and half years of war beginning February 24, 2022. She has it almost completely upside-down. This is the usual highly exaggerated propaganda of the Ukraine General Staff aided in its gross deception by CIA and British MI6 intelligence advisers. In fact, part of her presentation was a short clip of MI6 Chief Robert Moore, expounding on his 1938 World War II based analogy that if Putin gets part of Ukraine, then Warsaw, Berlin, Paris, Brussels and London will be next. This ignores the last 35 years of Russian history, 25 years of Putin’s leadership, and common-sense analysis of real facts and realistic long-distance logistical capabilities.

Dangerous Biden Missile Escalation Threatens Global Conflict

On Novembers 21, the Russians launched a new experimental hypersonic missile, called Oreshnik, into eastern Ukraine and hit an industrial military target near Dnipro. The Oreshnik missile was launched from a Russian missile base near Astrakhan in southern Russia. It traveled 772 miles and hit precisely on target, according to the Russians. The Oreshnik missile was armed with conventional warheads but can also carry nuclear weapons. Both the U.S. and Ukraine were given a 30-minute warning. According to Ukrainian intelligence, it was 15 minutes between launch and hitting its target. That would have given it an average speed from launch to impact of 3,087 miles per hour, or over four times the speed of sound (761 mph). The top speed of the missile is claimed to be Mach 10, or 7,610 mph or 1.5 miles per second. This is undetectable and unstoppable by any known anti-missile defense system. The missile impact was filmed by Russian intelligence and is available for view on YouTube.

Hard Truths Spelled Out by Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov

On November 14, in Moscow, Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov was interviewed by Russian reporter Marina Kim for the New World Project, a Russian organization formed to educate young Russians on the economic, social, cultural and political nature of the nations of the world and the formal and informal rules of their interaction.
For more than a decade, the vast majority of Americans and Western Europeans have heard nothing but Ukrainian government, US government, and captive US and Western media propaganda on Russia, Ukraine, and especially the Ukraine War. There is no field of competition—business, sports, military, international trade, foreign policy, or any other endeavor where ignorance is a competitive advantage. The Bible, Sun Tzu, Clausewitz, and scores of others advise that accurate knowledge of competitors and your own capabilities are essential for success. In war, the sure way of tragedy is to underestimate your enemies and embrace self-deceived over-confidence in your own capabilities. In international relations, the only real success is long-term peace. Winning wars may be necessary to achieve peace, but wise leaders know that long-term stability and peace, which bring security and prosperity, are the real goal.

Additional Remarks by Putin and Foreign Minister Lavrov

On November 6, the Russian Foreign Ministry issued a statement on the November 5 Elections in the United States:
“The victory of Donald Trump in the presidential election and his return to the White House after a four-year break obviously reflect Americans’ disappointment in the performance of the Biden administration and the election program of the Democratic Party formulated by Vice-President Kamala Harris, who was hastily chosen to replace the incumbent president in the race.”
