We&#8217;re in journalism. Our duty is to inform people. Two years into a war that&#8217;s reshaping the entire world, <strong>most Americans are not informed<\/strong>. They have no real idea what&#8217;s happening in this region, here in Russia or 600 miles away in Ukraine. But they should know, they&#8217;re paying for much of it in ways they might not fully yet perceive. <strong>The war in Ukraine is a human disaster. <\/strong>It&#8217;s left hundreds of thousands of people dead. An entire generation of young Ukrainians. And has depopulated the largest country in Europe. <strong>But the long-term effects are even more profound.<\/strong>&#8220;<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Carlson notes that the Ukraine was has &#8220;utterly reshaped the global military and trade alliances&#8221; and &#8220;upended the world economy.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><strong>He also hits on the dire state of the Post-WWII (Bretton Woods) economic order, <\/strong>noting that it&#8217;s &#8220;coming apart very fast,&#8221; along with &#8220;the dominance of the US dollar.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><strong>The failures of corporate media<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Carlson notes that Ukrainian President Volodomyr Zelensky has been the beneficiary of softball, curated, Western interviews which he calls &#8220;prep sessions.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;That is not journalism. It is government propaganda,&#8221; said Carlson.<\/p>\n<p><em>&#8220;At the same time,<strong> our politicians and media outlets have been doing this<\/strong>, promoting a foreign leader like he&#8217;s a new consumer brand, <strong>not a single Western journalist has bothered to interview the president of the other country involved in this conflict, Vladimir Putin. <\/strong>Most Americans have no idea why Putin invaded Ukraine, or what his goals are now. They&#8217;ve never heard his voice. That&#8217;s wrong. Americans have a right to know all they can about a war they&#8217;re implicated in, and we have the right to tell them about it because we are Americans, too.&#8221;<\/em><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.zerohedge.com\/political\/contempt-press-freedoms-us-officials-bar-tucker-carlson-interviewing-putin\">Tucker previously<\/a> relayed a story about trying to set up a Putin interview, until a Washington, DC source briefed him about how the NSA spied on him:\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><em>&#8220;The NSA broke into my signal account, which I didn&#8217;t know they could do,&#8221; he previously said.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>&#8216;&#8221;I got a call from somebody in Washington.
