And does he think if he lived in Russia he could say something similar against the government?
No greedy, sleazy corporations using bullshit "supply chain" excuses left over from the Covid Scam to unjustifiably jack up food prices 50%+ like here in the good ole USA. But remember what your corporate media masters and our shit politicians taught you: Putin and Russa=bad, and that's all you are permitted to know.
Have you been to Russia? Travelled to Russia before and after the Berlin Wall fell? While the 'Wall' was up, how many people fled to Russia vs to the evil West? Does Putin forego the evil influence of the West when it comes to consumer goods? Do you think that Carlson did not have a 'guide" while he was there?
In case someone asks, I've been to several times to 'Socialist Heaven' - East Germany, East Berlin, Czechoslovakia, Prague; travelled in Russia - St. Petersburg to Moscow. Used different transportation - know what it is like to have a 'guide' to 'assist' and restrict what you can see or where you can go, minders to watch you, and several AK-47 guards to 'protect' you from the people?
Careful what you say or think in Russia, you may find yourself 'falling" out of a window, even if you are an American. Putin and Carlson - PLEASE!

Here ya go, directly back to you, Mr. Ukrop.
Was anything personally addressed to you? I apologize, I should have known better to post anything with which you might disagree. (Try shoving your head further up Carlson's ass, it might make you feel better, I know he does. It must be where you get your opinions. Don't forget to donate to Carlson's 'fund me'.)
I had to check - Slovenian, eh? And you call me a troll? Nothing better except Russian ethnic slurs, Russian being your native language?
Being a Putin sycophant, are you rewarded for your retorts? Have you even been allowed around to visit another country, that is without permission from your handler? Can't even beat little Ukraine - must be desperate asking North Korea for help; just stay away from their artillery shells. BOOM! Here's your chance, after killing off most of Russia's prison population, Putin is looking for new recruits. Maybe Putin can make another deal like the Molotov-Ribbentrop Pact; we know how well that went don't we? Instead of Ukraine maybe Russia should have attacked those 'nazis' in Finland. Oops, that didn't go so well last time either. Oh, Simo Häyhä's relatives said to say "hello" to visitors from the South...

Do you really believe you have freedom of speech here anymore??
Or ever did?
We just believed the noble lies the govt fed us and now we realize most anything from them is a lie.
Some truth to this.
BTW I can't buy an evil black rifle in my state now.
How's that shit sound?

So because Russians on average make less money then us their groceries are cheaper? Is that what he's trying to peddle? A portion of Russia and Siberia don't even have indoor plumbing. What's the average salary of someone living in Moscow?
Data he presented:
Average annual Income of Russians
How much the grocery bill was compared to their annual income
Then how much that bill would be when compared to the US annual income.
Just presenting the video. These discussions usually become a cesspool.
This topic has too many variables to take Tuckers word for it. I think this is the most baseless inflammatory thing I have seen Tucket do. Showing he is really the enemy on this one (and I am sure I will be met with a ton of argument on that one)
In another thread here recently, someone posted up national average salary in the US. That is also meaningless data that somehow people use to measure themselves. At the VERY LEAST that data needs to be broken out by age range, say every 5 years, and then also by zip code.
Average income in the US is $60k is a very different number than saying the average income for zip code 12345 for age range 40 to 45 is $60k.
What is the average income in the zip code (Russian equivalent) this grocery store is in?
Where is the detailed receipt so I can see exactly what that bag of flour costs?
and so on and so on, need many more details before this video is actually meaningful to anyone.
The way it is published is, you should be angry because REASONS!!!

hence 'modern media' - its a #short right? so that's the audience he is banking on. It doesn't surprise me one bit and I'll take his word for all of it.
Anyone see Trump get fined ~$450M (2024USD)? I can't figure out if the democrats are throwing the election already figuring Trump will win - just setting the table for 2028 instead now. Or if they really are delusional enough to think that this will cripple Trump and send him hobbling to the sideline...
When money, one of their main motivators, is taken they expect him to give up.
A selfish move, one of their core tenets.
As he's proven to have lost monies as a result of his last term they are baffled.
Lawfare.

Yes, you are correct, this is a separate discussion other than the Tucker video and prices in Russia
Shopped Moscow grocery stores pre fall, circa 1988.
They looked nothing like this back in the day.
This is so far removed from the CCCP it’s nuts to claim they have just adopted a new skin with the same internals.
We shopped at diplomatic stores and had food shipped in from Finland.
The bread was very good though if kind of yeasty, very crunchy, kind of sticky outer crust.
Our cook would make big bowls of Argentinian beef tips that were perfect in mini sandwiches using Russian bread.
Let’s talk Kvass buffaloes now with a communal glass.

The bottom line is that groceries in the U.S. are ridiculously priced as is fast food, restaurants, gas, interest rates, auto insurance and basically everything. It wasn't this way under Trump. You wanna blame corporations for this, fine. Still was not this way under Trump. Biden and his weakness has brought all this upon us. By the way there was not a war in Ukraine or Isreal, and Iran had started behaving itself. Basically everything was better under Trump. Ammo was cheaper under Trump too.
Another thing no one is mentioning....
That food is most likely REAL food. Not enriched, enhanced, GMO, preservative, HFCS, sucralose, artificial flavor, artificial color, etc etc etc slop.
The shit we have allowed into our food in the US is disgusting and the vast majority of the civilized world has flat out banned some of the shit we allow.

this was my biggest takeaway from that segment. Putin "banned GMOs in 2018". I don't know what the average Russian makes or if $7 is a lot to spend on that meal, but the possibility thats its real food is interesting at least.
