I can picture the whole interview already.

Tucker: "Mr. Putin, why did you invade Ukraine?"

Putin: "We had many very legitimate reasons. Ukrainian nazis, US imperialism, NATO expansion."

Tucker: "What will it take for you to stop this war? Will you guarantee peace?"

Putin: "We are a very rational and forgiving people. We ask for nothing but the unconditional surrender of Ukraine. We will treat everyone with respect and we won't meddle with any other country outside Ukraine. KGB spy pinky-promise."

Tucker: "Mr. Putin, may I suck your cock?"

Putin: "You may."

*30 minutes of slurping noises*

I need a remindme bot to remind me if this will all come true.

A bot would be nice, but I know it will. Putin will use this interview to sow more division, undermine certainty (whatever is left of it) in an Ukrainian victory and to make himself look reasonable and willing to talk. And Tucker, by virtue of being both part of the new, autocracy-loving breed of conservative and unable to mount any serious push-back against arguments made, will fail entirely in giving proper context to anything Putin will say.

The interview will devolve into pure propaganda for Putin, another link for delusional Russia-supporters to point to and proclaim that the West is responsible for everything and that the whole situation would be fine and dandy, if only Ukraine surrendered.

If you would be keeping up with the news you would've known that, they wanted to discuss neutrality,

but then peace negations have been stalled on the ukrainan side, per request of the Brits.

And after that they forbade em by law.

Hence, no Putin alone cannot stop the war. There is still too much pressure on all sides to keep the war going.

While poor guys on both sides are paying the highest price for someones wallet to be bigger.

Wait you're telling me that Russia can't pull out of the invasion they started because Boris Johnson said it would be illegal?

He can stop the war because he can command Russian army to leave Ukraine.
