Because an American media person interviewed Putin, the Democratic Party and its propaganda mouthpiece broke the defenses.
According to the global network, Kremlin spokesman Peskov confirmed on the 7th that Russian President Putin has been interviewed by American media person Tucker Carlson.
Not long ago, American conservative media personality Alex Jones said on social media that Carlson had completed an interview with Putin, and promised that the two-hour interview would be "released soon", and the content of the conversation between Carlson and Putin would not be edited and would be published on his personal website for free.
Putin and Tucker Carlson
At the same time, Elon Musk, the owner of social media "X", who is not a big deal to watch, also claimed that if the interview video was uploaded to the X platform, he would not block it, but would let more Americans see it, but "biased media do not want Americans to hear the voices of both sides" because "they are the spokesmen of the military-industrial complex and the political establishment in Washington." ”
Carlson's interview with Putin can be said to be a "bombshell" that detonated US public opinion. After Musk promised not to block the video, American public opinion was immediately swept by what he called "biased media", Carlson was accused of "not being objective and impartial enough", and CNN and Wall Street Journal reporters even claimed that they were more qualified than Carlson to interview Putin on behalf of the American media.
Carlson has long since resigned from his old club, Fox News
Obviously, after learning that Carlson had successfully interviewed Putin, the reaction of the American media can no longer be described as "breaking the defense", because since the outbreak of the Russian-Ukrainian conflict, these so-called "objective and impartial" American media have not tried to interview Putin, but the Kremlin would rather accept an interview with right-wing conservative media like Carlson than respond to the requests of those American mainstream media.
The different attitudes of Russian officials towards the American media actually reflect the position of the two parties in the United States on the Russia-Ukraine conflict. As mentioned above, Tucker Carlson is a typical right-wing conservative media person, he is close to Trump, and what Trump's attitude towards the Russia-Ukraine conflict is, needless to say, he has more than once declared that if he were president, he would end the Russia-Ukraine conflict within 24 hours.
Trump's statement actually represents the consistent proposition of American conservatives: since Ukraine failed to achieve the established strategic goals of the US government, the Republican Party believes that it should stop losses in time and devote more resources to US internal affairs, the Middle East and the Asia-Pacific region.
Carlson is also an ally of Trump
This is also reflected in Carlson's interview preview, "The Cold War is long over, and Russia is not an enemy of the United States...... If a choice has to be made between Russia and Ukraine, the United States should be on Russia's side."
The Democrats, on the other hand, are the opposite. Whether it is for the purpose of preserving Biden's political achievements or continuing to "bleed" Russia, the current political platform of the Democratic Party actually represents the trend of neoliberal thought in the United States, which is most intuitively manifested in international politics as the "Washington Consensus" based on maintaining the global order and hegemony of the United States.
But some people rejoice, and some people are sad
Guided by this principle, it is only natural that the Democratic Party and the media controlled it will put a cloak of legitimacy on the United States' "confront" Russia, which is, in Carlson's words, that "the Biden administration tightly controls the flow of information, and most Americans do not know what kind of war they are involved in, and they have never heard Putin's statement." ”
After all, in the 60s of the last century, it was precisely because Seymour Hersh and other journalists exposed the crimes committed by the US military in Vietnam that the United States set off a vigorous anti-war and affirmative action movement, and finally the anxious US government had to withdraw from Vietnam.
Now Biden is facing a worse dilemma in Ukraine than the US government back then: this year is still a presidential election year, and the long-delayed Russia-Ukraine conflict has made American voters lose the patience to continue to "pay money".
