Tucker Carlson’s Interview of Vladimir Putin - Part 4 of a Series
Commentary: In Part 3 of this series, Vladimir Putin spoke about the U.S. bombing of Serbia and its capital city of Belgrade in 1999. Former Russian Federation President Boris Yeltsin had strongly objected to this bombing. but the U.S. and NATO ignored his protests. Over several years, the Serbian province of Kosovo had been overrun by more than 840,000 Albanian Muslim migrants. Much of Kosovo is sacred to the history of the Serbian Orthodox Christian Church. Serbian President Slobodan Milosevic finally ordered Yugoslav/Serbian security forces to expel the migrants. U.S. President Bill Clinton decided to intervene in what was becoming a humanitarian crisis, deciding to bomb the Serbs into submission. About one thousand Serbian security force members were killed as well as at least 489 civilians, including 89 children. The result was Kosovo independence. Kosovo is now 92 percent Albanian and over 96 percent Muslim. Most of the Orthodox Christian Serbs were forced out of their former territory. Kosovo is now less than four percent Serbian Orthodox Christian, concentrated only in the northern edge of the formerly Serbian province.

Tucker Carson Interview of Vladimir Putin - Part 3 of a Series
In Part 2 of this series, Putin had explained to Tucker Carlson how most of southern and eastern Ukraine were part of the Russian Empire and were both culturally Russian and Russian-speaking before the Soviet Union was formed in 1921. Nevertheless, the Bolsheviks placed these still culturally and ethnically Russian oblasts (states) in Soviet Ukraine. These included Kharkov, Lugansk, Donetsk, Zaporizhia, Dnepropetrovsk, Kherson, Mykolaiv, and Odessa.
Commentary: The Soviets sometimes used a strategy of preventing loyalties other than centralized Soviet loyalty by shifting borders and peoples as necessary to strengthen and maintain highly centralized national power. They were not states-rights advocates. They were centralized power advocates.

Tucker Carson’s Interview of Vladimir Putin - Part 2 of a Series
Russian Ethnic dominance in Eastern and Southern Ukraine.
Commentary: Only 60 percent of the citizens of pre-2014 Ukraine consider Ukrainian their native language. About 25 percent are ethnic Russians, and another 15 percent are of mixed Russian-Ukrainian culture. Three of 27 Ukrainian oblasts are for political purposes 80 to 90 percent Russian: Donetsk, Lugansk and Crimea/Sevastopol. Six more are 60 to 74 percent Russian. These are all connected in the eastern and southern regions of Ukraine and include two of Ukraine’s largest cities, Kharkiv and Odessa, and the entire Ukrainian coast of the Black Sea. These have been culturally, ethnically, and linguistically Russian for centuries, yet all but Crimea/Sevastopol were arbitrarily made part of the Ukrainian SSR in 1922. Crimea/Sevastopol was in an arbitrary political deal given to Ukraine by Khrushchev in 1954. It is less than 15 percent Ukrainian and has never been more than 25 percent Ukrainian. It has crucial military and naval importance to Russia’s Black Sea Fleet. Following a bloody February 2014 presidential coup in Ukraine, backed by the U.S. State Department, CIA, and British MI6, the Russian ethnic minority was subjected to severe cultural and ethnic cleansing to erase Russian cultural and political influence in Ukraine. This caused a civil war that was still ongoing, when Putin decided to intervene against Ukrainian military actions against Donetsk and Lugansk militias and civilian centers. Moreover, Putin and almost all Russian Federation leaders, motivated by Russian national security concerns, strongly opposed Ukraine becoming a member of NATO.

Why It is Important to American Security - Part 1
Chinese philosopher General Sun Tsu advised that good military and political leaders must know both the nature and capabilities of their potential enemies and also their own nature and capabilities. The two most common mistakes in war are underestimating your enemy and overestimating your own capabilities. The best victories are won without conflict.
On February 6, Tucker Carlson interviewed Russian Federation President Vladimir Putin within the walls of the Kremlin, the seat of Russian government power in Moscow. Moscow is a city of 13 million residents, the largest city in Europe. Its metropolitan population is over 21 million, also the largest in Europe. It has been the capital of Russia several times in Russian history, most recently since 1918. Tucker Carlson was surprised at how beautiful and clean Moscow has become in the last 20 years. The population of the Russian Federation is approximately 145 million. Geographically, it is the largest country in the world and according to WorldAtlas ranks fifth in natural resources, depending on how you rank the value of various strategic commodities and their diversity. The U.S. ranks seventh. Russia is not “a gas station masquerading as a country,” as John McCain once derisively asserted.

America’s Existential Immigration Crisis

Securing the Border—Absolutely Essential—but Far from Enough
A Warning to Republican Primary Voters
According to the Center for Immigration Studies, the Biden Administration released nearly 1.4 million illegal immigrants into the United States in fiscal year 2023 alone. Nearly a million of these were processed and aided by the U.S. Border Patrol. Other agencies processed about 400,000. This amounts to a separate Biden immigration system with outrageously inadequate or no documentation and little regard for national security, public safety, and economic impact. Moreover, Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas has admitted that another 600,000 entered the United States without apprehension—the “gotaways.” Illegal immigrants entering across our border totaled nearly 2.0 million. Another 850,000 overstayed their visas and blended into the economy. A frequent example of this is when an agricultural guest-worker violates their visa and disappears in order to take a higher paid job for an employer that does not require E-Verify immigration status. These forms of illegal immigration are totaling 2.85 million per year, almost three times the 1.0 million legal immigrants issued visas in 2023.
