โšกTucker Carlson was called to Washington because of a possible interview with Putin.

Former Fox News host Tucker Carlson said the US National Security Agency hacked into his Signal account and read correspondence about a planned interview with ๐Ÿ‡ท๐Ÿ‡บ Russian President Vladimir Putin.

According to the presenter, he received a call and was summoned to Washington to clarify the situation. When he arrived, the question was asked if he was planning a trip to meet with Putin.

โ€œHow did you know, I didnโ€™t tell anyone. Not at all. Not to my brother, not to my wife, not to anyone at all. How did you know? Because the ๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ธ NSA hacked into your correspondence with another person with whom you discussed this,โ€ Carlson said.

The day before, RT editor-in-chief Margarita Simonyan said that Tucker Carlson wants to interview Russian President Vladimir Putin.

in contrast to the Murgin-5 and larger, metal-constructed aircraft, the albatross-sized wooden SYPAQ, an aircraft light enough for a man to pick up easily, is according to military media reports effectively invisible to most if not all Russian air defense systems, which were designed to locate and intercept combat aircraft constructed almost totally out of metal with weights in multiples of tons.

โšก๐Ÿ‡ฉ๐Ÿ‡ช Olaf Scholz about his conversations with ๐Ÿ‡ท๐Ÿ‡บ Vladimir Putin:

๐Ÿ‡ซ๐Ÿ‡ท Macron: Ah, hello Olaf, how are you? What was your discussion like this morning? โ€œ

It won't be better.. says Scholz. Something depresses me more than the conversations: He (Putin) don't complain about all the sanctions. I don't know if he did that in conversation with you. But he didn't even address the sanctions. โ€œ

Macron replied: Not with me either.โ€œ

Scholz, however, tried to get a summit. When I asked him if there might be a meeting on ๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ฆ Ukraine, sooner or later, with you, me, Zelensky and with him, ๐Ÿ‡ท๐Ÿ‡บ Putin, he did not completely refuse to do so. But he mentioned two conditions. First, there must be no reason for a ceasefire. Then he only spoke of the three of us, you, me and he. Without Zelensky.โ€œ

Like Pansophist rightly stated. The longer they wait, the tougher the conditions Putin gives.

They want to dump Ukraine and focus on China. They've seen that Ukraine was a bad geopolitical mistake, and it has triggered global dedollarisation.

You know that they've admitted defeat when Nato secretary Jan Stoltenberg is advising Elensky to forego the annexed territories and sue for peace.

But Russia is not the real threat, it's China. China has global interest, from the BRI, to Petro Yuan, couple with their economical might and being the leader of Brics.

If they defeat China, then Russia will be less powerful and confined to Europe/Central Asia only. So they have to act fast because waiting is dangerous.

China grew so big in just few decades, they can't afford to waste time to make China more stronger and harder to slow or defeat.

There won't be any petrol-yuan.

China is actually not interested in lording over the world but...

The Chinese are smart people, they stayed in the shadow for a long time learning, observing and perfecting the ways of the world.

They'll control the world (Not lord) without any forced friendship by making sure you can't have a working economy or country without their inputs (Goods, services, technology etc).

It's already late for them. They can't stop China. One thing is, China will not fall for their trap of going to war. I read somewhere that 10 of the most deadliest war in history by death toll took place in China in total, they had over 100m human casualty. Then I understood that China became peaceful or chose peace because she has witnessed first what war would do. I believe China will deter the West diplomatically whilst growing. She has amassed so many allies and trade allies even among tbr West. Just like the USA, China will be very hard to deal with.


Also was it Scot Ritter's video or Donald Mcgregor with Redacted that said the reason Ethiopia was admitted into BRICS was not just SA wanted her, but because China wants to leverage the population and cheap labour and build factories in the country. Although China has cheap labour, but they want to achieve even cheaper labour too.

Ethiopia's admission into BRICS is a statement of inclusivity, unlike G7 which is a club of wealthy, old, colonial countries. Ethiopia being in the same round table with alpha dogs like UAE, Saudi Arabia, Russia, Brazil, Iran, and China, only goes to show the kind of world Brics is building.

And yes, I also wrote on Nairaland a long time ago, that many of the top ten deadliest wars in human history with the highest death toll was fought in China, by the Chinese.

Hence I said also that what Russia is doing in Ukraine is just child's play. If the Chinese want to kill, they kill in such a number that even God is shocked. China is peaceful because if it flips, it can not be reversed.

I only pity Japan, the Philippines, South Korea, and other countries that have agreed to be used as puppets to fight China. China will just make them extinct. Not one person will be speared. I only hope we don't experience this in our lifetime.
