Why should the EU sanction Tucker Carlson?
Is an EU sanction being discussed today because the EU has always been the aggressor punching the Bear when it can? Is it because the Putin interview doesn't fit the bullshit EU narrative which explains why nazis in Ukraine should be funded with my money?And why is there an EU? What is NATO good for besides taking my money with no plans to repay me. What does it mean “ in the name of democracy.” How do I benefit sending my money to nato.

It seems like the bear is being punched by other aggressors, like you.

If member countries, or the the EU’s diplomatic arm, the European External Action Service (EEAS) together with the EU Commission want to sanction someone they have to bring a proposal to the Council of the EU, back it up with evidence and if all 27 countries agree, then the decision is adopted.
Maybe the EU countries don't think Tucker Carlson is all that and a bag of chips, eh?

MEP's play no role in the EU's sanction process.

An observer pointing out where she may have contravened revenge porn law and where she may be protected by immunity is not the same as a body considering charges, or a verdict.
If there is insufficient evidence to bring to the bureaucratic process a motion is frivolous regardess of how much an observer says someone might have done something.

BRUSSELS — The European Union is not planning to sanction American far-right pundit Tucker Carlson for interviewing Russia’s President Vladimir Putin — or at least not yet.
“Currently there are no discussions in the relevant EU bodies linked to this specific person … the American person who is in Moscow,” EU Commission spokesperson for foreign affairs Peter Stano told reporters in Brussels on Thursday.
However, the spokesperson said, the EU can sanction “propagandists” who have a “track record” of manipulating information to “undermine the sovereignty and territorial integrity of Ukraine and to promote the illegal and brutal aggression by Putin.”
I would say that if this is not worse than we can entirely focus on TC's character-
then we are far enough from a ww3 to be very worried.
Maybe people realise deep down there is no chance in hell
Putin can or even want to broaden the conflict.

I'd really like to believe your remark regards Putin's intentions but nothing comes guaranteed Grand.

But to make you understand he may be a bit less vile than presented.
Why is that important? Cos I want us to be sober when the day comes...
when we have to decide if we wanna send own troops, own jet fighters,
own laser guided 'mother of all bombs' etc, that evetually could lead to a nuclear wipe out.
I want it to be clear to all westerners that Putin is again and again showing that he has that one guarantee for peace- those large rockets.
Ok- I want us to be careful here.

Was it really to denatzify or was it to demilitarize the area to stop it joining N.A,T.O.
I look at the World as a whole and we are all part of it,so no I don't hate Putin,Trump,Biden, Xi Jinping or any other upstart wanting to take control, all I see is the futility of it all and the loss of so many innocent lives and for what.?
Rant over
Was it really to denatzify or was it to demilitarize the area to stop it joining N.A,T.O. No doubt you have the answer.Just what do you consider that this long drawn out conflict is proving.? It's time people in power stopped trying to be "top dog". This East /West divide is pointless and I get heartily sick of people condemning other countries when frankly all I see is a bloody great power struggle for dominance.

Do you have to be a guy to understand this?
There was two reasons for this conflict:
1) the roughness of Kiev towards the Donbass region, where Putin was swinging in and out with limited military support to the socalled Rebels. And the Nazi Azov batallion was part of that.
Usa had no porblem with this Azov by the way. Then came Nato/Usa interests in the area. So yes both.
I hear you are tired of the whole thing. I don't blame you.
-
Now the way it stands, Putins Russia has already won this war.
The question now is what will happen now- will Nato go in themselves to reverse that outcome (unlikely) or will the two parts, with Amaricas blessing (order to Kiev) head for the negotiation table. Likely.

Prof John Mearsheimer: Reaction to Tucker Carlson's Putin Interview
I'm not interested in what people think of Carlson's interview .Opinions are like a'holes everyone has one.
But let me ask one more time (before we leave it, cos who really cares anyway) do you think I'm right in my assessment that a large group got to watch Putin present his side of the story that otherwise would not have. In that sence Tucker had a function, whether one dislike him or not.
Anyways hope you'r doing fine there Lou. Wish you only the best.

In his waffing introduction Tucker instructs his audience twice that Putin is sincere, implying he should be accepted regardless of his opinions. Personally, I'm not that easily manipuated, but of course many a Tucker fan is: Carlson's brand rides on his intense, yet notably affected sincerity.
Tucker's first rambling, repetitious question lasts for a full 50 seconds. He's either an appallingly unskilled interviewer, or it's a deliberate technique, maybe to imply some kind of intelligence, or sincerity. A proficient interviewer has well prepared, precise and incisive questions which is especially important when the content is being translated as it is spoken. I struggled to translate Tucker's gabble into English, so goodness knows what the Russan language reproduction turned out to be.
As for the translation of Putin's monologue, it was like an 11 year old boy's composition homework. I only read the first five minutes of his projected 30 second to a minute history lesson, but it was not presented with the audience in mind. As is typical of naturally self-centered small boys, Putin told the story in a muddled format for the purposes of self-indulence.
How anyone could think that this is a golden opportunity to hear Putin's side of the story after he has wreaked a bloody war on Ukraine and his own citizens, is beyond me. It appears to be little more than two aging narcissists engaged in mutual and public ego masterbation.
I feel like an unwitting voyeur of grubby exhibitionists.
Our (norwegian) prime minster said Tucker ws like a mic stand... lol, but I don't mind.
