Joining us as Hillary Clintons former spokesman, suggesting we worked for Vladimir Putin for daring to ask about nato and montenegro. Its a serious question because Defense Guarantees or serious promises. Why would the United States promise to defend montenegro . Speak out the nato treaty has kept the peace since world war. I dont want your son to fight and montenegro. I dont want him to fight in germany or any of other of the9 nato countries but you are presenting nato as something likely to trigger a war when nato is in fact what has avoided war. While the soviet union has fallen, the russians are incredible tucker the reason i thought of montenegro and suggested there was some putin reason why you did, there was a much more prosaic reason because it just joined nato. Are you suggesting we owe them a Defense Guarantee . Im not looking at montenegro im looking at the full 29 countries. Tucker thats how bad decisions get made, one people to look at the statistics. How many times as the
having to flee their homes in ukraine, people ought to be able to do without some creature comforts in russia. it really is interesting and sort of zelenskyy-ish in their efforts to shame some of these american companies in a way. who is talking to chris wallace? this guy right here now. and, chris, you know, you re one of the few people who looked vladimir putin in the eye, you had a chance to interview putin, what, 2018. i m just curious, what was that like? what is he like? and what insight did that give you into this really remarkable decision he s made to invade another country? well, you know, john, there were a couple of things that from our interview in 2018, it was the day of the summit with donald trump, in helsinki, where trump seemed to fold, and say i believe putin rather than our own intelligence agencies about interference in the 2016 election, he begins this kind of
