EU rules out Tucker Carlson sanctions - TASS

Thu, 08 Feb 2024 11:12 UTC

The EU has no plans to sanction American journalist Tucker Carlson over his interview with Russian President Vladimir Putin, TASS reports, citing sources. The much-anticipated face-to-face has been confirmed by the Kremlin and is expected to be aired at 6pm EST (11pm GMT) on Thursday.

On Wednesday, Newsweek magazine, citing several current and former EU lawmakers, reported that Brussels could ban the former Fox News host from visiting countries in the bloc. MEP Guy Verhofstadt, who once served as Belgian prime minister, suggested that the EU could look into Carlson's case, given that Brussels sanctions anyone who assists Russian President Vladimir Putin - who he called a "war criminal."

Carlson said he wanted to talk to Putin because it is his "duty to inform people," especially with regard to the Ukraine conflict, since the US provides support for Kiev. He added that many Western media outlets "lie to their readers and viewers" by promoting Kiev's position while downplaying Russia's.

Commenting on the Newsweek report, a TASS source in the EU Council stressed that sanctions against Carlson are off the table for now. He explained that this would require a legal basis proving that a person "is threatening and undermining the sovereignty and territorial integrity of Ukraine."

"We have no serious reasons to blacklist this journalist at this stage," the source added.

The rumors of potential EU sanctions against Carlson also outraged American billionaire and X (formerly Twitter) owner Elon Musk. "One may agree with Tucker or not, but he is a major American journalist and such an action would greatly offend the American public," he wrote. Musk previously promised not to suppress the Putin interview on his platform.

Carlson earlier claimed that the administration of US President Joe Biden attempted to stop him from traveling from Moscow and interviewing Putin. White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre called the allegations "ridiculous."

Comment: We'll see how the EU Council reacts once the interview is released on February 8th at 6PM EST. More from RT:

Conservative American journalist Tucker Carlson has said on Instagram that his interview with Russian President Vladimir Putin will be aired at 6pm EST on Thursday.

Carlson, who launched his own network on X (formerly Twitter) in June 2023, traveled to Moscow for a sit-down with Putin. The Kremlin confirmed the meeting on Tuesday.

The Russian president rarely grants one-on-one interviews to foreign press. Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov has said that Putin has "no desire" to speak to Western media outlets that have "completely one-sided" opinions and "aren't even trying to be impartial."

Here is the NBC transcript of the interview with Putin in 2021. [Link]
I am reading it now. Remember this is mockingbird media that will try to attack Putin, not a friendly Barbara Walters interview.

Dwoods44 · 2024-02-08T14:00:48Z

Dwoods44 In talking about G7 meeting, Putin states "However, I'm inclined to think that despite — all of these niceties, the United States as far as their relationship with Russia, will be promoting what they consider important and necessary for themselves , above all for themselves, in their economic and military interests."

He is correct, though we are discovering that it is the globalist interests that are promoted, since Bribem is destroying the USA>

Dwoods44 · 2024-02-08T14:06:59Z

Dwoods44 The interviewer tries to get Putin to agree to stability and order, and that the West sees Russia as destabilizing. In other words, Putin is not following the Rules-based order.

Quote: "And I believe that on the part of — the U.S. partners, this is something that we haven't seen in recent years. What kind of stability and predictability— could there be there if we remember the 2011 events in Libya where the country was essentially taken apart, broken down ?"

Dwoods44 · 2024-02-08T14:12:21Z

Dwoods44 The interviewer states Bribem said to Putin that he doesn't have a soul. Putin does not recall that, and the interviewer presses it.

Quote from Putin: "Of course, one can and present this for domestic political consumption , which I believe is what has been done in — the U.S. in the last two years, where the U.S.-Russia relationship was sacrificed for the sake of a fierce political strife inside the U.S. We can see that."

What is he saying? The interviewer is creating propaganda.

Dwoods44 · 2024-02-08T14:18:57Z

Dwoods44 The interviewer pushes Putin that Russia cyber attacked America, and states who said it.

Putin answers: "Right. Right. You are conveying information to me as to who said that. But where is evidence that this was indeed done ? I will tell you that this person has said that, that person has said this. But where is the evidence? Where is proof? With— when there is— when there are charges— without— evidence, I can tell you, you can take your complaint to the International League of Sexual Reform."

The mockingbird media is trying to do a hit job on Putin, and Putin does not fall for it.

Dwoods44 · 2024-02-08T14:27:02Z

Dwoods44 Putin tries to include NATO in the discussion, but the interviewer keeps interrupting him not letting him complete his sentence.

Quote: "NATO said that it considers cyberspace an area of— combat. And— it prepares and even conducts exercises. What stops us from doing that ? If you do that, we will do the same thing. But we don't want that. just like we don't want space militarized, in the same manner we don't want cyberspace militarized."

The globalists do what they claim Russia is doing. As I noted, this is a hit job interview on Putin, but he identifies the real problem. The globalists.

Putin: "I don't think that this call by the U.S. administr— today's administration is worth anything. I— it appears to me that the U.S. government will continue to interfere in— in— political processes in other countries."

Dwoods44 · 2024-02-08T14:31:58Z

Dwoods44 The interviewer: "KEIR SIMMONS: What should Americans worry? What might happen next if there's no agreement on cyber?"

What is this setting up? The false flag cyberpandemic that Klaus predicted. It is preparing the ground for blaming the Russians.

This is why we need to understand how propaganda manipulates the people.

Dwoods44 · 2024-02-08T14:35:11Z

Dwoods44 Question: "KEIR SIMMONS: Let me ask you about— human rights— an issue that— President Biden— will raise— Mr. President. He'll raise the— issue of Alexei Navalny, targeted for assassination, now in a Russian jail. Mr. President, why are you so threatened by opposition?"

This should make it clear the interview is a hit job. Navalny was a small time false flag to discredit Russia.

Dwoods44 · 2024-02-08T14:39:05Z

Dwoods44 It is useful to read the transcript, in that way you are affected by the interruptions and emotions.

Quote: "VLADIMIR PUTIN: No. No. If— you muster patience and let me finish saying what I mean to say. Everything will be clear to you. But you are not liking my answer. You don't want my answer to be heard by your audience. That is the problem. You are shutting me down. I s that a free expression —"

Dwoods44 · 2024-02-08T14:41:39Z

Dwoods44 Quote: "KEIR SIMMONS: We only have a limited amount of time, Mr. President." as Putin answers in detail.

...VLADIMIR PUTIN: Look, I am— over my tenure, I've g— gotten used to attacks from all kinds of angles and from all kinds of areas under all kinds of— pretexts and reasons and of different caliber and fierceness. And none of it surprises me. People with whom I work and with whom we argue, we— we are not bride and groom. We don't swear everlasting love and friendship.

Interviewer continues to try to call Putin a killer.

VLADIMIR PUTIN: Look, you know, I don't want to come across as being rude, but— this looks like— some kind of— indigestion, except that it's verbal indigestion. You mentioned many individuals who indeed suffered and perished at different points in time for various reasons at the hand of different individuals.

Dwoods44 · 2024-02-08T14:56:43Z

Dwoods44 The interviewer throws in China in the hit piece.

VLADIMIR PUTIN: The first thing I want to say is that over the last few years, the last few decades, we have developed a strategic partnership relationship— between Russia and China that previously had not been achieved in the history of our nations, a high level of— trust and cooperation in all areas: in politics, in the economy, in the area of technology, in the area of military and technical cooperation. We do not believe that China is a threat to us. That's one. China is a friendly nation. It has not declared us an enemy, as the United States has done.

Dwoods44 · 2024-02-08T15:12:57Z

Dwoods44 The transcript is worth reading to understand how the mockingbird media conducts a hit piece interview.

Would they ever do that to Bribem? To Obama? To Clinton? To Nikki?

It makes clear how the globalist media uses attacks that evoke emotional reactions to attempt to destabilize the person and manipulate the meaning and context.

HashAttack2 · 2024-02-08T16:04:56Z

Dwoods44 Not sure how representatives of the banana republic dares to mention Alexei Navalny given the numerous show trails to try and lock up Trump

joeyborinquen · 2024-02-08T15:11:26Z

“The Russian president rarely grants one-on-one interviews to foreign press. Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov has said that Putin has "no desire" to speak to Western media outlets that have "completely one-sided" opinions and "aren't even trying to be impartial."

This is exactly what conservative/republican politicians should get in their

heads, there are not impartial “journalists” in the main lame media, which

always attacks the person being interviewed if it is a republican, showing for all the world to see their biased opinions. Martha, George, and many others are just democrats hacks which the conservatives should avoid like the blaaack plague when asked for an interview. Trump learned, a little too late, this facts.

Demore · 2024-02-08T15:46:10Z

joeyborinquen Where is the article I saw earlier about the EU thinking about imposing these sanctions on TC? This was supposed to be a stand alone comment... Not as a reply to joeyboringen... My bad? Things are so fked up lately here...

IncenDiary · 2024-02-08T16:40:04Z

Demore The article has been deleted : sott.net/article/488698

Demore · 2024-02-08T16:42:18Z

IncenDiary Ah. So I did not dream or hallucinate it. Thanks.

Dwoods44 · 2024-02-08T16:57:58Z

joeyborinquen Right. An interview like this is not about facts or truth, it is about manipulating the emotions of the audience to try and demonize Putin.

3.1415926535 · 2024-02-08T15:50:13Z

My expectations is that there will nothing new disclosed that we dont already know. It will be a simple confirmation (again), to what we already know, or suspect.

He is no fool, who gives what he cannot keep, to gain what he cannot lose.

IncenDiary · 2024-02-08T16:29:03Z

3.1415926535 Correct; all Putin's interviews and his annual addresses all confirm this IMHO

JohnDukes · 2024-02-08T16:15:08Z

Soft disclosure Carlson attached to Putin’s ass. It’s more about what Carlson didn’t ask.

IncenDiary · 2024-02-08T16:28:14Z

JohnDukes Ah, thank you. Sage, indeed.

Demore · 2024-02-08T16:38:14Z

JohnDukes I am sure he had to submit his list of questions before the interview and if he went off script the segment was deleted.

Dwoods44 · 2024-02-08T19:00:42Z

Here is a link to a bitchute video of the text of the interview. The interview part starts at around the 2:00 minute mark.

Is this all of the text? I don't know. Is it accurate? I don't know. [Link]
Interestingly, Putin says he has met with every president except Joe Biden. He is stating that Bribem is an actor.

VonCraq · 2024-02-08T21:36:34Z

Dwoods44 One always wonders about accuracy and the Bitchute by Tobie Tejas, a replica from another site. Accurate? who knows but... If Putin said this about relations with the U.S. and I quote: "There are STRONG FINANCIAL entities in whose interest it is to keep us adversaries. One of your presidents warned against that. We Russians do not have that problem."

Now that's dead On!!!

VonCraq · 2024-02-08T21:40:15Z

VonCraq Who would have a transcript prior to TC's release 2/8 at EST on X, who? So I agree with my Putin statement have doubts to it's validity.

Dwoods44 · 2024-02-09T14:06:44Z

VonCraq I agree, I probably should have waited for an accurate and complete transcript since the interview was 2 hours long.

Personally, I don't like hearing Putin speak Russian at the same time it is translated. I prefer a transcript.
