Causes, Purposes, Propaganda, Misinformation, and Reality
Most Americans, Canadians, and Western Europeans are poorly informed or have been deliberately misinformed on what is going on in “Project Ukraine.” This has been true for the entire conflict going back not only to February 2022 but to its real beginning in February 2014 with the Maidan Revolution and US-backed coup d’état that removed elected Ukrainian pro-neutrality President Viktor Yanukovych and replaced him with a series of pro-NATO prime ministers and presidents.

Ukraine Is Ruling Out Peace Talks and Cancelling Churches
In Part 11 of this series, Tucker Carlson and Vladimir Putin talked about the future of artificial intelligence (AI) and issues of concern in Russian-American relations. The Commentary included statistics on Ukraine’s alarming population decline and the Ukrainian Army’s heavy losses and severe shortage of manpower. Below, Tucker Carlson begins a discussion on peace negotiations.
Tucker Carlson: I wonder if that’s true with the war though also, I mean, I guess I want to ask one more question which is, and maybe you don’t want to say so for strategic reasons, but are you worried that what’s happening in Ukraine could lead to something much larger and much more horrible and how motivated are you just to call the US government and say, “let’s come to terms”?

AI Technology, Return of Detainees, Huge Ukrainian Population Losses
In part 10 of this series, Vladimir Putin was asked about the nature of Russian Christianity, how it is related to the Russian world view, Putin’s own faith, and his opinion of the rise and fall of great nations in the past. Tucker Carlson continued to probe into Putin’s political philosophies and views on international relations and current issues.
Tucker Carlson: So when does the AI empire start do you think?
Vladimir Putin: You are asking increasingly more complicated questions. To answer them, you need to be an expert in big numbers, big data and AI.
Mankind is currently facing many threats. Due to genetic research, it is now possible to create a superhuman, a specialized human being – a genetically engineered athlete, scientist, military man.

Zelensky’s Dilemma, Russian Christianity, Putin’s Christian Views
In part 9 of this series, we left Vladimir Putin discussing the disparate influences that Ukrainian President Zelensky has to balance in speaking for his country. Ukraine has become a virtual financial, economic, and military vassal of the United States. Yet Zelensky must also be wary of threats by militant nationalists in the Ukrainian Volunteer Army (UDA), Ukrainian National Guard, and its Azov brigades who will not tolerate any compromise of complete Ukrainian victory and Russian defeat.
Tucker Carlson: But do you think at this point – as of February 2024 – he has the latitude, the freedom to speak with you or government directly, which would clearly help his country or the world? Can he do that, do you think?

Russophobia as U.S. Foreign Policy and Media Culture
May 2, 2023, a timely revision April 22, 2024
A few days before Tucker Carlson was dismissed from Fox News, Fox News 9:00 PM host Sean Hannity began his evening show with a statement something like, “We know Putin is evil.” Soon thereafter, Fox News host and contributor Mark Levin chimed in with a few phrases condemning and demonizing Putin. Do we know Putin is evil or is it that we are constantly told by Deepstate politicians and their captive media that Putin is evil? What is the objective basis of such a statement? Would the assumed facts hold up to cross examination and analysis? Given the establishment media’s failure to make the obvious connections between the February 24, 2022, Russian invasion and the February 2014 U.S. State Department-backed coup and regime change in Ukraine, reasonable people have formidable cause to doubt the wisdom and factual basis of such careless and inflammatory language. Moreover, the resulting eight years of continuing war and cultural genocide perpetrated by the new coup-based Ukrainian government against the large Russian ethnic population concentrated in eastern and southern Ukraine gives us a righteous discomfort with such defamation. Both Hannity and Levin also engaged in an episode of this sort of Putin demonizing in February of this year. Moreover, in two previous interviews with President Trump, Hannity had pressed Trump very hard to condemn Putin. Trump, to his credit, refused to engage in such dangerous rhetoric. First of all, Trump is strong enough to maintain his objectivity, and second, smart enough not to make statements that would wreck any possibilities of future negotiations with Putin or the Russian Federation on Ukraine or any other issue.
