    Of course, you don't mention that later in the show Tucker Carlson said that he was joking on that specific comment "I'm only rooting for America".

    But other people don't post context.

    So tell us at what second mark in the video clip where Tucker says "I'm only rooting for America"? Or link a clip that substantiates your claim. Yeah obviously you can't do that.

    Is Tucker joking now when his support of Putin is regularly broadcast on Russian State TV with subtitles?

    Marco Rubio, who is actually a good source for information on Ukraine right now, is saying the Russian invasion is taking longer and is costlier than expected.

  6. Basically zero chance that they can repel, if "by repel" one means the russians moving in, taking control of the national and sub-national governments and positioning troops and authorities. That is going to happen.

    If by "repel" one means how long will they be dealing with resistance fighters, well, that be another story altogether. I am not exactly up on my Russia/Chechen history but that would be an example of such. Immediate takeover, then decades of resistance. American occupations have had the same problems but the Russians use even more force and still end out with occupation resistance for long periods.

  7. I heard that the Ruskies have already locked up and removed some protesters in Moscow. Can't have that.

    Similarly, they did not allow protests against Russia's AFG war and did not allow reporting on casualties, but the bodies coming back did come back to haunt the Kremlin over time. So the west will have an immediate response to all the casualites, but info about russian casualities will travel much more slowly - much more- in Russia. And when they are reported it will be framed in terms of the Russian soldiers dying in combat with a Ukranian Nazi Unit.

    So noticing the usual suspects are very quiet, how long before they are fed their lines?

    Up to four days waiting for CPAC, less than 24 hours?

    I don’t believe a word from this guy. Been watching Pravda and Tass bulletin, at least the Russians claimed US built navy operation center was destroyed, Ukrainian navy is out of commission in entirety, didn’t mention any causality, fog of war.
