I very much agree with Mr Hahn's take that President Putin's history lecture was lost on many Americans. I even drafted a shorter version that the Russian president COULD have used, crafted for American attention spans:

However there were and are others listening, especially throughout the Global South and even here in America, who welcomed the tutorial. These are people who have not sacrificed their brains to cell-phone scrolling, and thus preserved a normal human attention span, which can assimilate a half-hour history lecture.

I recall Chris Matthews - one of the most overfed maggots squirming about the corporate-media dunghill - screeching that Tucker didn't interrupt Putin's history lesson to attack him over [nonexistent] deliberate Russian attacks on civilians and other war crimes.

Weirdly, I agree with Matthews, since the Ukrainians used civilians as human shields, since the biggest 'Russian war crimes' like Bucha were transparently staged by the Ukrainians, and therefore (unlike Matthews) I know that Putin would have had some interesting things to say about NATO-sponsored atrocities against Russian-speaking Ukrainians and targeting civilians.
