Sorry, Boroda. LOL.
As in, he fucking lies right to your face
At the very beginning Putin asks Tucker if he can take "only 30 SECONDS, or 1 minute " to make a "short reference" to history.
Then he goes into a 30 minutes monolog of "history" and when Tucker askes him something about 20 minutes in, Putin tells him - I asked you at the beginning if we were going to have serious discussion - and gaslights Tucker about the "30 seconds to 1 minute" ask he gave at the beginning.
A fucking monolog is not a "serious discussion". When Tucker asks him to elaborate on a couple of things, Putin says it's not a serious discussion.
Putin is a fucking manipulator and a liar about everything, but especially in trying to justify the invasion of Ukraine.
Before Putin invaded Ukraine, he stated stated that he did it because he had no choice. He had to protect Russians who were being genocided, and he had to de- Nazify Ukraine.
He expected the invasion to topple the Ukraine government and to create a puppet state, at the very least. When that failed and turned into this drawn out war, his "special operation" is now retroactively explained with a different justification.
