Opinion: Tucker Carlson visiting Moscow is like touring Berlin in 1940 (kyivindependent.com)

Former Fox News anchor and far-right commentator Tucker Carlson recently completed his speaking tour of Canada. Apparently, he wants to “liberate” us from Prime Minister Justin Trudeau. Carlson is now visiting Moscow to convene with the paragon of freedom and democracy himself: Russian President Vladimir Putin.

The last few weeks have somehow gone from terrible to worse for Russia’s dictator. A Mediazona investigation confirmed the identities of over 43,460 Russian soldiers killed in Ukraine. The wives of mobilized Russian troops have begun protesting against Putin. CIA director Bill Burns also stated that the invasion of Ukraine has crippled the Russian economy, left Russia beholden to China, and helped the U.S. recruit spies deep behind enemy lines.

. . .

Putin’s propagandists themselves, the same regime mouthpieces who call for genocide in Ukraine, nuking London, Warsaw, and Berlin, and destroying America, have championed Carlson for standing firmly with Russia against the West. Anyone who watches Russian television is aware of how they adore Carlson, refer to Trump as “our president,” and celebrate every time the Republican party sabotages military aid to Kyiv.

Didn't Tucker admit despising Trump and just playing along for the views? I think this is in a way even worse than actually supporting the man since he demonstrated a complete lack of integrity.

Tucker may despise trump. But the Republican party has had a long, enduring history of fascism since the 1930s. Consolidating their hold on the title a bit over 30 years later when they courted the original influence for Nazi fascism. With the southern strategy.

Putin is everything they desire. It's nothing to do with trump. Trump is just one of the many tools of their idol.
