Hamas is almost a tool for Israel, Waters says Ukraine should give into Putin, and denies the Uighur genocide.
Israel did help prop up Hamas, but not sure if I would label them as a tool.
Waters says that the West and NATO caused the Ukraine-Russian War, he is pushing for peace.
I suggest to rewatch this, I found a shorter video of what Roger says, if you can bare Joe Rogan:

I am not sure if what China is doing to the Uighurs could be labeled as a genocide.
I make sure to also read and watch non status quo information about China, I suggest to rewatch this if you can bare:

I might see it later, but let me guess:
according to Waters, Putin was concerned about NATO expansion, and the supposed coup in 2014, and Putin only wanted a buffer zone where ethnic Russians could be protected.
He ignores that much of East Europe isn't so fond of the Kremlin, that speaking Russian doesn't make one an ethnic Russian—Zelenskyy is a Russian-speaker—and in his interview with Tucker, it didn't seem to be about NATO but of Russians like Putin not respecting Ukraine as an actual nation.
Perhaps too I'm biased against Waters: this rich arrogant know-it-all who AFAIK hasn't released a decent song in over 35 years—David Gilmour seemed the more talented one—also Waters's Wikipedia page seems to indicate a streak of antisemitism—no offense to the British, but they haven't faced an existenttial threat in 100s of years and might have killed more Arabs since 1948 than have Israelis.
What is his solution for European Jews—stay in Europe so they could be slaughtered more?
Fucking arrogant asshole, that Roger Waters.
