      That’s pretty unlikely unless he’s doing a big pivot in his branding, he quite literally has said the US should team up with Russia to fight/oppose China.

      Carlson’s dissenting line on Ukraine policy has to be understood in light of his obsession with fighting China. As he outlined back in 2019, his dim view of Washington’s Russia strategy came from the fact that he viewed China, not Russia, as “our main enemy,” and that “the United States ought to be in a relationship with Russia aligned against China to the extent that we can.”

      He reiterated this point three years later: because “China is the preeminent threat to the United States,” and because it’s impossible “to engage meaningfully simultaneously in Europe and in Asia,” the US focus on Ukraine only “detracts from our attention to China,” while at the same time pushing Moscow “into an alliance of convenience of necessity with the Chinese government.”

        “the United States ought to be in a relationship with Russia aligned against China to the extent that we can”

        Sad to say I agree with the broken clock, as China is truly a bigger long-term threat… but never to the extent of appeasement or allowing Russia to invade other countries.

      That would be great, I see no issue in journalists interviewing anyone. The converse is MSNBC that literally wouldnt show a trump speech for some contrived reason.

        That reason being they are under no obligation to give airtime to fascist insurrectionists? (or anyone at all, really) I don’t watch MSNBC, but is Trump going to say something that’s going to suddenly change my mind about him? We’ve already determined that his supporters won’t change theirs no matter what he does, so they didn’t really need to see it, either.

        You think dictators aren’t controlling every single aspect of the interview? It is a glorified publicity stunt.

          You think presidents arent controlling every single aspect of the interview? Putin was not going to make Tucker disappear if he asked the wrong question.

            Psh, Putin would Merk Tucker for looking at him wrong. Do you have any idea how many journalists Russia has put down?

              Putin can kill as many journalists in russia as he wants, if he disappeared on of the top 5 most popular journalists in the US, that would be an international incident.

          He shouldnt be, but the media sucks so bad that he is now one of the most influential journalists. He actually questions things, as opposed to the shameful journalists we have now.
