Professional Propaganda: Tucker Doesn’t Pushback When Guest Sides with Putin, Not ‘Nazi’ Ukraine

There is a white nationalist movement in every European country and in North America. That doesn’t make Canada or France led by “Nazis.” I am sure there were a small minority of Ukrainian white nationalists, “Nazis.” Ukraine, however, is one of the world’s youngest and most determined democracies. So Putin invaded.

But propaganda is a science in the truest sense of the word. Scientists – primarily from Eastern Europe, but some in our intelligence agencies – study the most effective techniques to implement and further specific goals. And yet, writ large, propaganda is not designed to get anyone to believe one specific truth. Propaganda’s ultimate goal is to convince citizens to give up on the idea that “truth” exists and is attainable. Everyone has their angle, everyone has an agenda, everyone will interpret things differently – even video, and so why even bother to learn the truth? It doesn’t exist. Only “agendas” are real and truthful.

Putin justified his invasion of Ukraine based on two premises. First, he claimed that Ukraine was historically Russian. Thus, he had the right to invade and reclaim it. If that were the case, Mexico would have the right to invade everything west of the Mississippi basin and reclaim it. Second, Putin put out the propaganda that Nazis governed Ukraine.

And Putin certainly has Americans that are at least “sympathetic” to his cause (I’m trying to put it nicely and factually sound. There are suspicions of much, much more). Trump has offered to negotiate a settlement. So has Elon. The Republicans closest to Trump want to shut off the money while NATO and Europe are investing more. Negotiations? Putin is a war criminal and monster who has indiscriminately sent missiles into apartment buildings to decrease “morale.” Ukrainians have found “mass graves.” The only “negotiation” that could ever be legitimate is “GTFO now! And forever forfeit your right to be considered a legitimate nation in the global economy.”

Have you ever noticed that Trump has blamed the U.S. for the war but never told Putin to get out of Ukraine? Never blamed Putin? The most Trump has said was that it was a “mistake” to invade, and that was in the first few days of the war.

The message is getting out to mainstream America, primarily through Tucker, a powerful show that is broadcast on Russian State television. (Normally a bad sign.) Tucker was the first to declare that he wanted Russia to win. Now he has guests on his show declaring that Ukraine is a fascist Nazi nation and Putin is doing the world a service… with no pushback from Tucker.

It almost makes one sick to their stomach. This is the United States. There is no “Nazi government” in Ukraine. There is propaganda, however, going out to complicate a very simple war and lead the Right to not care who wins and damn sure lead the MAGAs to refuse to send Ukraine another dime.

Remember, Trump has never said Putin needs to get out.
