African Analysis on Carlson-Putin Interview
Sputnik Africa
As the whole world finds itself consumed in discussion of Tucker Carlson's interview with Russian President Vladimir Putin, AfroVerdict host sits down with a political economist and international relations expert to bring some insight from Africa. Why is mainstream media so up-in-arms? What will access to Putin's views bring the world?
The internet community did not expect Putin's lengthy historical backtrack as a response to Carlson's first question about the reasons for starting the special military operation in Ukraine.However, the reasons "deserve serious consideration" as one would want to investigate "the root causes of things", according to Mikatekiso Kubayi, Research Fellow at the Institute for Pan African Thought and Conversation.White House officials blasted Tucker for coming to Russia's capital to conduct the interview with Putin, Hillary Clinton calling Carlson a "useful idiot", and John Kirby calling on Americans not to take what Putin says "too seriously".Kubayi believes that ignoring information from Russian officials prevents people from getting a "balanced view".Presenting biased information could result in a cul-de-sac for the US, according to Prof. Lere Amusan, Professor of International Relations at North West University, Nigeria.To hear what else the experts had to say, check out the entire episode of the AfroVerdict podcast, brought to you by Sputnik Africa.In addition to the website, you can also catch our episodes on Telegram.► You can also listen to our podcast on Google Podcasts, Apple Podcasts, Castbox, Pocket Casts, Deezer, Podcast Addict and Afripods.► Check out all the episodes of AfroVerdict.

African Analysis on Carlson-Putin Interview

As the whole world finds itself consumed in discussion of Tucker Carlson's interview with Russian President Vladimir Putin, AfroVerdict host sits down with a political economist and international relations expert to bring some insight from Africa. Why is mainstream media so up-in-arms? What will access to Putin's views bring the world?
The internet community did not expect Putin's lengthy historical backtrack as a response to Carlson's first question about the reasons for starting the special military operation in Ukraine.
However, the reasons "deserve serious consideration" as one would want to investigate "the root causes of things", according to Mikatekiso Kubayi, Research Fellow at the Institute for Pan African Thought and Conversation.
"For an issue as important as this, punch lines are not what you want. You want an explanation," Mr. Kubayi says.
White House officials blasted Tucker for coming to Russia's capital to conduct the interview with Putin, Hillary Clinton calling Carlson a "useful idiot", and John Kirby calling on Americans not to take what Putin says "too seriously".
Kubayi believes that ignoring information from Russian officials prevents people from getting a "balanced view".
"A Russian perspective had been essentially sidelined, which is unfortunate because it deprives the people of an understanding of what is going on in the thinking of Russian policymakers, and leadership, of what is happening, so people can then understand and make a balanced view," Mr. Kubayi explains.
Presenting biased information could result in a cul-de-sac for the US, according to Prof. Lere Amusan, Professor of International Relations at North West University, Nigeria.
"If America continues [this way, they] will get to a certain level where they are going to meet a cul-de-sac. When they get to that, people will not believe whatever information they are trying to project to their population," Prof. Amusan elaborates.
