There are two issues so far unexplored. The first is, who is spreading western tropes (and I don’t mean only Tucker Carlson). I mean who is spreading western lies about Karaganov? Funny that this is not mentioned. Second, is why is is that people do not understand how Karaganov works… Read more »
And there was even a few letters of commendation from Mr Putin

Re: A. Martyanov’s comment on the interview with Prof. Karaganov: It is Prof. Karaganov intention to instil fear in the European population in the hopes that they will abandon political idiocracy and turn against their unruly rulers. He does not need to be a military expert for that; the designation “Putin’s adviser” is adequate… Read more »
For Karaganov to be a Putin adviser, he would have to be shown as an adviser. On what Security Council or Kremlin body does he sit? I’ve offered advice to Putin in Open Source. Does that make me an adviser? There is no indication that Karaganov serves anyone beyond his… Read more »
No rage here. Words matter. Definitions matter. Titles matter. The man is not an advisor. He is apparently a resource. Like Sergei Glaziev with things economic. We’ve read and heard Glaziev for a dozen years and Putin has yet to act on his “advice”. The issue is accuracy in describing… Read more »
Please ride your own horse Larch. Leave Andrei’s horse alone, because in reality you do not have the experience yourself to assess such matters as to where he finds himself and where he lives and what it is like to live outside the country of your birth. I do. Andrei… Read more »

Regarding Martyanov’s latest piece on Professor Karaganovโฆ This is very sadโฆ While I have often admired Martyanov’s views on military aspects, I am disappointed and astounded that he would write such a slandering piece about Professor Karaganov, Sergey Alexandrovich. He obviously knows nothing about Professor Karaganov and may have some… Read more »
Something about the American interviewers – they have one interest and one interest only. That interest is “When is Russia going to missile us?” It is an abject fear that is being displayed one interview after the other. Karaganov clearly sidestepped that one, with sweet words, and kept within the… Read more »
Come to think of it, maybe my question should’ve been more about Tucker Carlson’s interpretation of Karaganov’s words than about Karaganov himself. I was shocked when the news came out last night, I was afraid I wouldn’t sleep a wink.

A new low point in TC’s behaviour – much like his globally televised interview with Putin, where he tried to make the entire interview into a Trumpfest. Putin gave him a much-needed history lesson, making mincemeat out of the cackling fool. I agree with AHH – there’s not much happening… Read more »

Has anyone seen this? https://smoothiex12.blogspot.com/2026/01/tucker-karaganov-is-not.html Tucker, Karaganov IS NOT …… and never was “political adviser” to Vladimir Putin. He is mentally deranged boy from Soviet nomenklatura with zero military experience, let alone in nuclear weapons and everything he spews is the result of his deranged mind. Utterly militarily incompetent. He… Read more »
Oh joey_n – (read cussing words here, not at you …) Now, I am going to ask everyone to ignore this. The next long form written interview with Karaganov is in the hopper. Previous ones we’ve posted. More I will not disclose. Larch? no problem, I promise you. So, please… Read more »
Yes! Update to this comment. I was waiting for agreement on what can be disclosed. In the hopper is a real historical picture of Prof. Karaganov – just to answer the Great Rant. It may even in future be a visual presentation and if it develops – I will most… Read more »
The endlessly stupid inflammatory warnings from Russian experts that are translated immediately by the west as aggressive threats. had to be with Tucker right? ho hum
Tucker has a world record in the number of racial and cultural slurs he can spew while making his otherwise truthful enough argument. what a sleaze bag. Mr Karaganov gives the US a free pass, but this is in line with all Russian foreign policy they blame Anglo Saxons for… Read more »

Well, perhaps I simply happen to know something you do not.
In any case, there is no need for the rage.

Agreed Tucker ain’t brightest bulb in ceiling, but he’s useful presstitute with reach.
Karaganov’s VIP: he moderates plenary sessions at SPIEF. MFA features his reports on Russia’s approach to GS, and regularly invites to policy reviews.
If reasonableness doesn’t register with Orangeutans, one’s gotta rattle cages, no?
