Putin claims Poland began WW2 and CIA blew up Nord Stream

Vladimir Putin‘s interview with Tucker Carlson was packed filled with bombshell revelations.

But equally surprising have been his outrageous claims on a number of controversial subjects that went just about unchallenged by his host.

During the two-hour-and-seven-minute interview the Russian chief bounced from one outlandish declare to the subsequent, together with suggesting that Poland began WWII and that the CIA blew up the Nord Stream pipelines.

His unchecked remarks got here through the hotly anticipated interview that dropped on Thursday night. Americans have been warned ‘to not consider something’ by White House Communications Coordinator John Kirby previous to its launch.

But it appears the recommendation went over Carlson’s head as he refused to probe a number of wild claims. Here DailyMail.com breaks down a few of the misinformation peddled by the Russian chief.

 Poland began WW2

At first, Putin appeared to reveal a radical grasp his area’s historical past, with Carlson even praising his ‘encyclopedic information.’

But when it got here to World War II, his understanding seemed to be considerably skewed.

The Russian chief blamed Poland for beginning the worldwide battle by working with German chief Adolf Hitler. He cited Germany’s invasion of Poland as proof it was accountable. 

‘So earlier than World War 2, Poland collaborated with Hitler,’ Putin acknowledged. ‘And though it didn’t yield to Hitler’s calls for, it nonetheless participated within the partitioning of Czechoslovakia along with Hitler, because the Poles had not given the Danzig hall to Germany, and went too far, pushing Hitler to begin World War 2 by attacking them.

‘Why was it Poland in opposition to whom the warfare began, on 1st September 1939? Poland turned out to be uncompromising, and Hitler had nothing to do however begin implementing his plans with Poland.’

In actuality, historians attribute the beginning of the World War II to the Nazis’ resolution to invade neighboring international locations on account of Hitler’s aggressive expansionism.

His resolution to invade Poland got here after he despatched troops to occupy Austria and annexed Czechoslovakia with out reproach from the worldwide neighborhood, which many really feel paved the best way for his later invasion.

Russia ‘owns’ Ukraine 

One of Putin’s main justifications for the warfare in Ukraine is his elementary perception the nation belongs to Russia.

He cited the creation of the USSR as the purpose of firm of Ukraine.

‘After the victory within the Great Patriotic War, as we name World War II, and all these territories have been in the end enshrined as belonging to Russia, to the USSR,’ Putin defined.

‘As for Poland, it acquired, apparently in compensation, the lands which had initially been German. The jap elements of Germany. These are actually western lands of Poland. Of course, Poland regained entry to the Baltic Sea and Danzig. 

‘Which was as soon as once more given its Polish identify. So this was how this example developed. 

‘In 1922 when the USSR was being established, the Bolsheviks began constructing the USSR and established the Soviet Ukraine, which had by no means existed earlier than.’

In actuality, Ukraine declared its independence from Russia in 1991 after the collapse of the USSR.

Historically the nation has additionally been dominated by Lithuania and Poland, neither of which are trying to train claims over the nation.

However, Carlson’s solely response to the 30-minute monologue – ‘Right.’

Ukraine is a satellite tv for pc for the US

‘Ukraine is clearly a satellite tv for pc state of the US,’ Putin declared. ‘It is obvious. I are not looking for you to take it as if I’m in search of a robust phrase or an insult.’

The Russian chief cited the US’ ongoing monetary assist to the war-torn nation as proof for his declare.  

‘Dozens of billions of US {dollars} are going to Ukraine. There’s an enormous inflow of weapons,’ Putin mentioned.

But whereas Ukraine’s president Vlodomyr Zelenskyy has thanked the USA for its $75 billion in assist, he has emphasised the battle is about Ukrainian sovereignty.

‘For me because the president, simply peace is not any compromises as to the sovereignty, freedom and territorial integrity of my nation. The payback for all of the damages inflicted by Russian aggression,” Zelenskyy said in December 2022.

CIA blew up Nord Stream 

The offender for the Nord Stream gasoline pipeline explosions has been hotly contested since they have been hit in September 2022. 

The attack came as Europe attempted to wean itself off Russian energy sources following the Kremlin’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine and contributed to tensions that followed the start of the war. 

But Putin was unequivocal in laying the blame squarely on the shoulders of the CIA.

When Carlson asked the Russian president who blew up Nord Stream, he responded:, ‘You for sure.’

‘I was busy that day. I did not blow up Nord Stream. Thank you though,’ Carlson joked.

Putin said, ‘You personally may have an alibi, but the CIA has no such alibi.’

Carlson then asked if he had any evidence that NATO or the CIA was responsible for the attack, but Putin refused to provide any. 

‘You know, I won’t get into details, but people always say in such cases, look for someone who is interested,’ said Putin.

‘But in this case, we should not only look for someone who is interested, but also for someone who has capabilities, because there may be many people interested, but not all of them are capable of sinking to the bottom of the Baltic Sea and carrying out this explosion.’

‘These two components should be connected. Who is interested and who is capable of doing it,’ the Russian president said.

Tucker pressed Putin, ‘If you had evidence and presumably given your security services or Intel services, you would that NATO, the US, CIA, the West did this, why wouldn’t you present it and win a propaganda victory?’

 ‘In the war of propaganda, it is very difficult to defeat the United States because the United States controls all the world’s media and many European media,’ Putin replied.

The United States authorities has staunchly denied claims of involvement within the assault on the Nord Stream 1 and a pair of pipelines.

Suspicion has fallen most strongly on Ukraine, where officials had opposed the project for years claiming it would empower Russia by enabling it to sell more gas to Europe.
