Western rulers don’t really have values; Putin represents Russian values, and the interview highlighted the difference. From Hans Vogel at unz.com:

The interview that Russian President Vladimir Putin recently gave to American independent journalist Tucker Carlson was more than just an interview. In an approach reminiscent of the famous German journalist Emil Ludwig, Mr. Carlson tried to get a real conversation going, with serious answers to serious questions. Therefore, and unlike the style of most of today’s Western journalists doing interviews, he actually listened to the interviewee, without trying to steer him into making statements that satisfy the US imperial propaganda apparatus.
Rather than an interview, what we saw was a master-class in history, skillfully delivered by the Russian President. Needless to say, most of it seemed novel to Mr. Carlson, who admitted to having studied history as an undergraduate. Likewise, most of what Putin said is certain to be news to the elites, journalists and the general public in the “West.” Certainly in the US, but I am afraid also in Europe, which has been under US occupation and incessant, systematic brainwashing for eighty years now.
It should be pointed out that the US is built on the conscious denial of history. In the eyes of both the US public and its leading elites, the US remains outside of history: it is a “shining city upon a hill” that all the rest of the world is looking up to in never-ending amazement, hoping to be able to partake of its wonders. If only for that reason, Putin’s history class was necessary, but if it will be helpful must be seriously doubted.
Who knows why he wants to a part of the Western sewerpipe.
Russia has way more history and doesn’t consider itself as the indispensable nation because there is no need to.
Are they (Russia) the last Alphas?
Found that quote about…Russia is the last Christian nation and must be destroyed no matter what it costs the (F)USA by comrade commissar Jamie Raskin of the CPUSA.
Of course FACT-CHEKA says it is not true.
