    If I were Zelensky, I’d only allow Tucker to visit if he went to a specific location, was stripped completely naked, cavity searched and then brought, blindfolded, to an undisclosed location.

    And then I’d still do the interview over Zoom.

      I like your thinking but I would send him to the front lines instead to interview the commanders in the trenches and make him see what Russia is really doing up close and personal.

        Ooh I like that! You don’t even need to tell him beforehand, just put him in a tent with a laptop for a 30 second zoom call Zelensky says Tata, I have to go. But if you really want to learn about the war interview my troops. Then just leave him for a day
