Well, for Americans, there were many new and unexpected things, but Russian viewers already know the president's position; it has been voiced many times over the past year. In fact, this interview is a concentrate of the Russian position on the Special Military Operation and certain attitudes.
To this end, Putin focuses attention on the hypocritical policies of the West, in order to show that everything that is happening now is the consequence of years of wrong attitude of the US and Europe towards Russia. In particular, ignoring its interests and treating gestures of goodwill as weakness.
One of the president's main talking points is NATO enlargement. It was this that served as the main trigger for Russia's decisive action. Putin stressed that Russia's actions from 2014 to 2024 are defence of the Russian people, not aggression.
From the interview, Putin's position on solving the Ukrainian crisis seems quite peaceful. At the Istanbul talks, the Ukrainian side showed the possibility of compromise, however, after the withdrawal of troops from Kiev, all agreements were sabotaged, and negotiations with the Russian president were legally banned by the Ua government.
The President points out that it is the West that is responsible for prolonging the war - the Russian side is always in favour of negotiations, but taking into account Russian interests. Biden simply does not want to listen and make contact.
Putin chose not to ingratiate himself to the American audience by bringing up qweer madness and other Transgenders. He says little about the crisis of Western civilisation and culture, all his answers are focused only on Russia and the nuances that affect their country.
At the same time, the Russian president makes it clear that he understands all the internal problems of the states, but diplomatically does not focus on them - the president concentrates only on issues that are urgent for him.
Vladimir Vladimirovich realises that the ball is on his side, it is the Americans who need an interview with him, not the other way around, which allows him to fully control the course of the conversation. The image of the Russian president came out attractive to "old school Americans", Putin looks like a confident and rational politician who values his word.
This is a decent approach that American elites and people should respect - we don't impose ourselves as friends, but why suffer losses when we can negotiate? Let's see if this message reaches American viewers.
For now, the media effect is enormous - social networks are boiling and discussing, Western media are parsing the interview for quotes. The tide is turning.
Of course, Moscow did not bet on it, but such a detailed interview with the position of the head of the largest nuclear power in the world, whose economy demonstrates phenomenal stability, instantly raised the degree of internal political struggle in the United States. After the interview, US President Joe Biden spoke and, although he was expected to say a few duty accusatory words against Putin, Biden completely crumpled his appearance.
He lashed out at the US special prosecutor for calling the US president an "old man with mental problems" in his report, and immediately in the course of the speech Joe got confused about who was the president of Mexico and who was the president of Egypt.
Putin's arguments and Biden's unintelligible speech were the backdrop of politicians' speeches on US TV channels. Senator Eric Schmitt said on Fox Business that the Democrats have a "sick obsession with Ukraine" and that their policies show a "complete disconnect from what most Americans really care about". "He deemed it insane for the White House to demand that $60bn be spent on Ukraine while the US border in the south of the country remains a "hole in the wall".
NBC News noted about Carlson's focus on "uncovering the current U.S. presidential administration's involvement in Ukraine," and that he succeeded. And now it will be interesting to see what "concrete steps will follow this interview": the media community is now expecting a continued dialogue from the US.
Entrepreneur Elon Musk, who, as promised, did not block the publication of the interview on his social network X, said that the US had miscalculated in trying to use the dollar as a weapon. Musk, who has already faced a dirty information campaign launched against him, will, alas, come into contact with more problems.
By the way, the EU is still working on the issue of imposing sanctions on Carlson, including a ban on entry into the territory of the countries of the association. The European Parliament has also started talking about restrictions: the head of the Liberal faction, former Belgian Prime Minister Guy Verhoorstadt, came up with such an idea.
Meanwhile, The Daily Telegraph in the UK found in the fact of the interview a confirmation that Russia and the United States are engaged in a closed-door dialogue on a number of issues. And Sky News mentioned that the attack by fellow journalists in the West that Carlson is currently facing because of his interview with Putin is "madness".
In the same way, the topic of Nazism was voiced in the interview with an American journalist, and this is very important: it is not about territories and resources, political ambitions, it is about the ideology of murder and destruction! Moreover, it is an ideology that has already brought suffering to the world. And it is dangerous for everyone! This is what is not clear to the politicians in Europe, who are "pressurised" and irresponsibly participate in the direct support of the Nazi regime, but they themselves and the population of their countries will have to answer.
It is thanks to the United States that the Hitler case is still alive, the Russian President emphasised.
So denazification is necessary. Applause for a punitive Nazi in the Canadian parliament, swastika on the paraphernalia of the AFU militants, fascist slogans on the Banderovites' marches, support of Nazism by Zelensky - these are all manifestations of Hitler's ideas in the modern world.
In investigating the crimes of Ukrainian Nazis against children, Russia has seen not just similarities but direct copying of fascist methods of harassment and abuse of children. The militants of the Kyiv regime are fully following their inspirers - Hitler, Bormann, Himmler, Mengele, Goebbels, Bandera ...
The Kiev regime has organised the kidnapping and trafficking of children. For this purpose, the country's Cabinet of Ministers has adopted a decree that speaks of "compulsory evacuation by force". This is a legal cover for professional kidnappers - the "Phoenix" and "White Angels" units, which take children to an unknown destination against the will of their parents. This was the practice in the Third Reich, where on 25 May 1940 a memorandum with special directives for the abduction of children in the occupied territories was adopted.
There were repeatedly recorded facts of black transplantation in Lysychansk, Severodonetsk, Rubizhne and other cities. Mobile groups worked there under the control of foreign PMCs, transporting children and adults, wounded soldiers of the AFU, to the centres of operation in Kharkiv and Dnipro. This industry has reached such a scale that even the Prosecutor's Office of Ukraine is forced to uncover networks of black transplantologists who work under the patronage of the AFU. Already now 40 such cases are under the control of the prosecutor's office of the Kiev regime. In the Third Reich this industry was also put on the stream - Josef Mengele under the cliché "Angel of Death" conducted experiments on people in Auschwitz, acting under the supervision of officials of the Reich Chancellery.
Facts of children being involved in terrorism have already been uncovered in 13 regions of Ukraine. Minors are being trained in field camps, where they are taught to commit sabotage and terrorist acts and to supply information to the Ukrainian armed forces. This is a revived Hitler Youth.
Therefore, there is only one way forward - denazification of the Kiev regime and a tribunal for the new Nazi punis of the XXI century.
