Kurginyan: Did Tucker Carlson entrap Putin?

21.03.2024, Aleksandrovskoye.

The interview of the Russian President Vladimir Putin to US journalist Tucker Carlson was a prologue to a preplanned step that Carlson used to knockout Putin’s concept of the denazification of Ukraine, the leader of the Essence of Time movement, philosopher and political scientist Sergey Kurginyan said on March 7 in a new issue of his original broadcast Destiny.

In the person of Tucker Carlson, whom our public believes to be “Trumpist” and a potential situational ally, we actually have a smart enemy who hates Russia, the analyst believes. Without realizing this, relying solely on the global PR tactics through a renown and apparently loyal figure, we can “grip a snake, which will most likely bite,” Kurginyan says.

In general, it [the interview] existed within a concept ‘we need a way to reach to the world with our truth.’ And this Carlson is a rightist, he supports Trump etc., so he in very popular, on the one hand, and on the other hand he will probably not play too aggressively against us. He is a sort of ‘our Trumpist,’ a conservative, and we are with conservatives now!” Kurginyan comments.

In this sense, he continues, Russia has to look rightwards, to the “Trumpists,” because “it has no other way to look” as everything related to the communist left-wing movement in the West has been destroyed.

And this is where this trap appears. Carlson interviews Putin… It is great, everyone is happy, everyone says, ‘What a good job we have done, how we have whipped them!’ And then Carlson gives an interview to some Lex Fridman,” Kurginyan develops the subject.

And who is Fridman?

Fridman is as renown as Tucker Carlson, the analyst says. He is AI scientist, political figure, blogger of Ukrainian origin with billions of views, born in the Tajik Soviet Socialist Republic; his real name is Aleksey Fedotov; he was raised and he studied in Moscow; his informational resource is dominated by such “pro-Russian” figures as Elon Musk, Mark Zuckerberg, and also Oliver Stone etc. Fedotov’s father is a physicist who moved to the USA to become director of the Plasma Institute at Drexel University (a major university in Pennsylvania.)

Fridman asked Carlson, “What do you think of Putin saying that justification for continuing the war is denazification?” And the answer was, “I thought it was one of the dumbest things I’d ever heard. I didn’t understand what it meant. Denazification?”

But the denazification concept is the key conceptual cornerstone in the basis of everything!” Sergey Kurginyan stresses.

So first this Carlson goes to Putin to ensure this connection and to have a PR effect. And then he [Carlson] meets with a comparably powerful person of Ukrainian and other origin and with a genesis in the university with vast collaboration with the US defense industry (Plasma Institute is about what?); he initiates this communication, and this is where attacks on the concept begin. But does Putin exist apart form it? Is this not his concept?” the political scientist wondered.

Kurginyan is confident that Carlson’s interview with Fridman was a preplanned step.

They planned it in advance, and those who suggested that Carlson should go [to interview Putin] already knew that he would later talk to Fridman. And that they will make a knockout blow from the conceptual and other points of view.”

Carlson, the analyst explains, is a nationalist, so the concept of denazification is non-existent for him. Moreover, in an indirect sense, he is complementary to Nazism leaving out solely Hitler, the leader of Essence of Time says. In his interview to Fridman, Carlson says, “I disagree with Putin… calling them [in Ukraine] Nazis, it’s like, I thought it was childish.”

Because he is rightist, there is no denazification for him. And he says directly, ‘Nazism, whatever it was, is inseparable from the German nation.’ Really? ‘It was a nationalist movement in Germany. There were no other Nazis.’ How dare you say this? Are you crazy?” the analyst comments Carlson’s statements.

Further, Kurginyan continues, Fridman says, “Also to clarify, there is neo-Nazi movements in Ukraine but it’s very small.” Thus, Fridman and Carlson are twisting it. In fact, the neo-Nazi movements in Ukraine are not “small,” “they are million-strong, and they are powerful enough to take the people on their throat with the help of the US who gave them [the Ukrainian Nazis] the power in the country. The same way they gave the power to the radical Islam,” the analyst says.

He is the worst and smart rogue who hates us. And you took the bait that he is a Trumpist and so he is supposed to love you,” Kurginyan concludes. We began our relations with Carlson expecting that he is a “Trumpist” and so he should be our ally, even if a situational one.

But when “you have no concept in your mind, but there is only operative actions and PR stunts instead, you can lose the concept and then everything,” the political scientist warns.
