Andrew Tate, interviewed by Tucker Carlson, dismantles the U.S. media’s unquestioned support for Ukraine, calling it a power play over morality—dissent risks punishment. He mocks Putin’s "COVID cure" timing before pivoting to his late father’s CIA-linked predictions (LGBTQ+ shifts, energy wars) dismissed as fringe until now. Tate argues Ukraine aid fuels elite interests, not democracy, framing conflicts as chess moves by players like his father’s alleged Twitter persona, Tate Terrific, ignored until geopolitical trends aligned with their claims. Carlson agrees, linking the debate to a generational distrust of media narratives. [Automatically generated summary]
Why do you think support for the war in Ukraine, support for Ukraine's side in the war against Russia, support for a war against Russia in the West, is kind of the bottom line issue for the people who run the U.S. government and for the American media.
Why, I mean, I guess you could argue about it, but there isn't an argument about it in the United States.
There's a position and anyone who doesn't hold it is attacked and punished.
But I understand very well, I like to believe what's happening with Ukraine and Russia.
And what I will say to the people who are watching this at home is that if you are naive enough to believe that there are good guys and bad guys in wars, and it's as simple as good and bad, and that the bad guys are crazy and the good guys want freedom, then you need to do a little bit more investigation into what's really happening.
And when you look at the vested interest of any country or any person...
And I remember asking my dad saying, why do the Taliban even fight and resist the American war machine?
They don't stand a chance.
Like, why are these terrorists even fighting against the American war machine?
And my dad said, they're fighting for their way of life.
They want their wife and they want their children and they want their society and their language and they don't want pride flags and they don't want American bullshit and they don't want to be told what to do.
And they're fighting to be a culture and be a people, which is independent in and of itself.
Like they're not the bad guys you think they are.
They're people who are like, why are you here?
What do you want?
We don't agree with that.
That's against our holy book.
Fuck off.
Right?
So even there's no such thing as good and bad in any war.
He worked for the CIA when he was a linguist for the CIA.
And then he was American.
He was discharged for a story I won't tell.
But he was a chess master.
And he, it's very interesting.
I encourage people to look at his Twitter.
He still has Twitter at Tate Terrific.
And everything he was talking about 11 years ago is so important now.
11 years ago, no one cared about, we had the Don Bass in 2014.
People cared a bit.
But he was literally, he predicted the future.
You want to see how chess players can see the future?
Read his Twitter.
Everything from LGBTQ, why they need your kids because they can't have their own, to the war that's coming and how Europe's going to have an energy crisis, to the letter.
It's all on his Twitter.
It's amazing to read.
It's like you could tell the future.
10 years ago, no one talked about any of this stuff.
