    I watched/listened to it.

    What I got out of it was Putin was saying that early Russian history was the bases of Russia taking back what it had.

    Like Alaska and whatever else might fit in the crock.

    It's all just a big monopoly game.

    Sorry friend, Per the sales agreement the USA owns Alaska free and clear, not considered spoils of war.

    I'm Canadian even I know this history

    The Alaska Purchase saw the Russian Empire transfer Alaska to the United States for a sum of $7.2 million in 1867.

    Some like to cheat at the game of monopoly.

    The debt that the U.S. owes could be used in some way.

    I'm used to seeing what others don't.

    Putin also mentioned the Minsk agreement which he says wasn't being followed.

    The "Great Charter" or Magna Carta" of 1215 are still in effect in this GLOBAL world.

    The U.S. is under the "War Powers Act" That if looked at means many things that most people are not aware of.

    Trans gender, comfort pets, pro wrestling and many other "realities" are what becomes normal.

    The world is VERY VAGUE and the sheeple like it that way as all they have are their dreams, fantasy and fictions.

    Those in charge are just sheeple with another leader.

    Always been that way and always will.

    What did you get from Santa and the Easter Bunny?

    You fail miserably at your claimed profession a, Psychic Seer.

    The American debt rests on the shoulders of the citizens of the USA, people will be enslaved -chained to this debt for decades.

    I kinda disagree. You have to understand the mechanics of monetary inflation to wrap your head around it.

    The cliff notes version of the story is that the higher the debt ... the lower the value of the USD as a fiat currency. It's a form of indirect taxation and ultimately a redistribution of wealth.

    Here's an intro to the inflation tax and how it works:

    The U.S. debt is already chained to the sheeple of the U.S.

    We the people and all we have is the collateral.

    The War Powers Act sees to that.

    VAGUE laws that are not so vague when you understand just how the so called laws work.

    The law of the land is much the same as in the days of the Roman empire for a example.

    You get a thumbs up or a thumbs down.

    All up to those in charge of the so called money, currency and the PROPERTY.

    I'm so thankful that they saw fit to give me a 17 % raise on the job last month. That should cover cost of living increases and even leave a bit left over to represent real wage growth this year.

    The ones that seem to be suffering the most are the retirees living on a fixed income. The buzzword in the US congress a few years ago was that " a rising tide (of inflation ) floats all boats." That simply wasn't true because some boats are firmly anchored to the bottom. This is what you get with Keynesian economics and a center left progressive government that's looking to expand it's social programs. There ain't no such thing as a free lunch. One way or another it all gets paid for through direct and indirect taxation.

    You guys up in Canada are in a better position because you're able to sell off your natural resources .. like oil .. to help fund your social programs. You really don't have to fund any kind of a military because you are under protection of the United States. You can live in relative peace & prosperity because we're the ones doing the heavy lifting.

    Which kinda brings us full circle to Tucker & Putin. There was really no need to watch the interview. There's an easy way to tell when Putin is spinning his lies.

    His lips are moving.

    I don't mean to disrespect our neighbors to the North but i don't think the Avro Arrow would fare very well against Russia's new hyper sonic ICBM's.

    Count yourself fortunate that Canada isn't taken as a credible military threat by anyone. Those missiles aren't pointed at you.

    The Arrow was built on technology developed during the 1950's, after the project was mothballed the engineers went South to join what was to become NASA in 1958.

    I suppose we should be grateful to our neighbours to the South of us.

    It's not surprising that the engineers went to work for what was to become NASA. We imported the best German engineers and rocket scientists after the fall of Germany at the end of WW2 through operation paperclip.

    We've probably got the most advanced military in the world but i'll tell ya .... it costs us dearly. Look at what we're spending on defense in comparison to other nations in the world.

    Domestic or foreign, the southern border is a disgrace.
