My name is Dmitry Ivanov
I’m a senior at Moscow State University
I thought my life was figured out
But now I just can’t see
I was looking forward to graduating soon
I got married late last year
But this “special military operation” in Ukraine
Has filled my life with fear
My post-grad training in Paris, France
Has been cancelled by the school
My wife’s dreams of the fashion world
Likewise are unspooled
Where to go and what to do
Is increasingly unclear
The government won’t tell the truth
And life is changing here
They’ve shut down all independent news
We’re stuck with State TV
It’s fairy tales of Ukraine ops
Propaganda constantly
The only thing I can’t explain
And I take the time to listen
Why do some Americans support Putin?
Who is this Tucker Carlson?
I grew up surfing internet
With information free
Now Kremlin tightens all the screws
They learned from the Chinese
I tried to cash a check today
They told me bank is closed
My credit card’s not working right
My finances getting hosed
I grew up with McDonald’s
First Western business in this country
But now they’ve closed all their doors
No cheeseburgers for me
I love my Mother Russia
There is no doubt of that
But our government doesn’t care for people
Only for fat cats
Now I got no money
And things are shaky with my wife
Thank you, Vladimir Putin
You really fucked my life
Check out Tucker Carlson on two audio clips below:
First is from 10 Nov 2021, where Tucker says we should back Russia, not Ukraine in any upcoming conflict. You must understand, Tucker is just not into freedom and democracy:
Next audio clip is from 23 Feb 2022, the day before the Ukraine invasion begins. Still singing the same pro-Putin song that many Republicans became enchanted with during the Trump years. Putin is not an enemy, it’s Joe Biden and the Democrats:
Following is extract of Mother Jones article, March 13, 2022:
Leaked Kremlin Memo to Russian Media: It Is “Essential” to Feature Tucker Carlson
The Russian government has pressed outlets to highlight the Fox host’s Putin-helping broadcasts.
On March 3, as Russian military forces bombed Ukrainian cities as part of Vladimir Putin’s illegal invasion of his neighbor, the Kremlin sent out talking points to state-friendly media outlets with a request: Use more Tucker Carlson.
“It is essential to use as much as possible fragments of broadcasts of the popular Fox News host Tucker Carlson, who sharply criticizes the actions of the United States [and] NATO, their negative role in unleashing the conflict in Ukraine, [and] the defiantly provocative behavior from the leadership of the Western countries and NATO towards the Russian Federation and towards President Putin, personally,” advises the 12-page document written in Russian. It sums up Carlson’s position: “Russia is only protecting its interests and security.” The memo includes a quote from Carlson: “And how would the US behave if such a situation developed in neighboring Mexico or Canada?”
