Then stay there Tucker. We all know you’re full of shit, this latest statement just confirms it.
Yeah Moscow is such a livable city, FFS.

Turn him back when he lands in the US and tries to pass through customs.
Hey Tucker now visit the rest of that shit hole country. Similar to North Korea outside of the Capital it’s not so livable.
How likely is it that he was forced to say that?
You suggesting Putin has a history of annihilating any perceived threat??
I would prefer it if Tucker never came back.
just asking how likely Putin said.. say something nice or die, Tucker?
I doubt he was blinking in Morse Code during the interview. Fact is, he probably had a hardon.
Getting Jane Fonda visiting North Vietnam vibes from this guy.
A quick random look at Google streetview in Russia says otherwise. Most of Russia is a shit hole.
I doubt Tucker has the balls to travel into the poor neighborhoods and villages.
Very little to not likely he said that. Very likely it was implied through glares and a tour of the gulag.
got a certified chode on our hands.
Don’t get it. One of the biggest mass murders of this century. And Tucker is treating him as if he was interviewing him for Tiger Beat.
Exactly. What a piece of shit.
OK, my general policy is to ignore Tucker in his entirety, and most of the posts relating to him.
But ... WITAF?!
I've been to Moscow. It is clean (mostly because there's a historic practice of babushkas who will excoriate you if you throw trash around or don't have your shirt tucked in). And the historic era is indeed beautiful (mainly because it's of a style that you really can't see anywhere else in the world). And the metro stations are certainly more interesting than ours.
But it's a dump. Notwithstanding our current penchant for adopting brutalist home design principles here in the US, it really doesn't work that well for large tracts of 3000 unit apartment buildings, as long and as far as the eye can see. A. Dump.
Man, they must really be sending him the good hookers and blow. Which is also a Russian thing.
yeah, the concept of "The Center" is a very real thing in Russia. Unfortunately, it's becoming a thing here too.
Well, we haven't seen him in a Russian anti-aircraft gun shooting down Ukrainian/NATO aircraft so there is that.
I can see it being a cool city- just considering how old it is.
But better than anything in America? Fackoff

There are some countries that I would never visit, if for no reason other than I was a US serviceman. Russia is top of the list. Plus, there is nothing there that really intrigues me.
Brutal.
He's like Charles Lindbergh before WW2.

After what happened to Griner, I wouldn't go to Russia.
What a ****ing tool that guy is. I spent 3 weeks in Russia, including Moscow and in a mining/industrial region called Kemerovo in southern Siberia. It was back in 2002/2003. Moscow was a nice city with a very European feel to it. They poured everything into the city in order to impress visitors and attract Western investment. The moment you left Moscow (or St Petersburg for that matter) you entered a third world country. Buildings were crumbling everywhere. Barely working water and sanitation systems filled with giardia. There were high rise tenements everywhere with multiple families sharing one and two bedroom apartments. In our hotel while we were eating breakfast there were groups of men sitting at tables pouring down bottles of Vodka. It was paradise really.
Tucker seems to be more of a watersport kinda guy.
I'd love to see CIA leak that Tucker was an agent so that his ass could be locked up over there. No deals will be done to get him home.
I get the military sentiment (and of course there are some us persons like my buddy who really can't go back there any more).
But it is a fascinating place, from the Russian-ness of Moscow, to the openness of the steppes (which practically make Iowa like West Virginia in its ruggedness), to Baikal, and to the beauty of walking through petersburg during white nights. As it happens, this weekend i found my travel journal from the months i spent there, and the thing that comes through is that, like here, 95% of the people are just living their lives and are perfectly agreeable. One of the great sorrows of my life is that I think it's highly unlikely that conditions there will change enough that I'd think of going back for a visit. And that's saying something given how the place used to be run.
Any of the people that have volunteered to help libs pack and move out of iowa want to extend the offer to Tucker to assist in his move to russia?
Yeah, way prettier than Chicago.
chicago's architecturally interesting, but I'd hardly call it pretty.Yeah, way prettier than Chicago.

He certainly does his research like most of his kind.
Totally agree regarding the people. Met wonderful welcoming people who back then weren't the least bit hostile towards Americans. I haven't communicated with any of them in many years but I wonder if that same attitude prevails today. My kids were both born in Russia and it is my hope that someday they will be able to return to see where they came from.
Chicago is a beautiful and very clean city. Anybody claiming otherwise hasn't spent a whole lot of time there. If you ever have the time, come out in the summer and take in a lakefront festival and a boat trip on the Chicago River for an architectural tour. It's spectacular.

And it also has dumpy dangerous parts like any city on earth will millions of people and high population density.
Tucker is a moron because he’s obviously only been shown selectively chosen areas.
