Trump heard Putin. What matters most in the big interview with Carlson is revealed

In a huge, hour-long and chaotic interview between Russian President Putin and Carlson, an American and anti-Ukrainian journalist and ardent Trump supporter, the main content, a certain framework for which this interview was conducted, can still be determined.

1. By trying to break the information blockade he imposed on the world, Putin tried to change the West’s negative perception not of Russia, which treacherously attacked Ukraine, but of himself. For two hours straight, Putin defended either Russia’s right or necessity to attack Ukraine. Everything from historical falsification to open hatred towards Ukraine was used.
2. During the monologue interview, Putin repeatedly tried to convey to the West, through and at the expense of Ukraine, a proposal to stop the war and a peace agreement with the West, often confusing this with the surrender of Ukraine. .
3. At the same time, it was clear that Putin, who had turned to the West, was constantly running from one extreme to the other. Putin either respected the West and could hardly hide his nostalgia for the times when leading Western politicians accepted him as an equal, even among the seven most powerful states in the world, then he broke down and tried to threaten the “decaying West”. if he had not met her halfway to the Kremlin. Most of the time it sounded like the “abandoned spouse complex” or “green grapes” strategy. It was clear that he envied the West, was afraid of the West, and was angry with the West for rejecting him after the Ukrainian attack. For Putin, it is still not clear why the West sided with Ukraine and did not support Russian aggression.
4. But during the interview it turned out that when Putin needed to indicate something in his claims and proposals to the world, he was no longer addressing Europe, NATO or the United States, but the collective West, but only Trump, whom he perceived as Trump. savior of the world, Europe and Ukraine. That’s why Trump and Putin needed Carlson, who could coordinate the strategy of his fight against Biden and his fight against Ukraine in the 2024 presidential campaign.

And Trump heard him.
