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.

If there's any doubt left that Russia is behind the MAGAts, this ends it.

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.

I mean, he's a fascist collaborator, so the visit is on Brand.

On Brand you say?

Maybe Russel will join him.

Ukraine may have the opportunity to kill two turds with one drone!

Is there any possible reality where his passport is revoked and he is not allowed re-entry?

I realize this is probably not going to happen, but god it would be funny, and he totally deserves it.

I've said it before and I'll say it again: Ukraine is the Sudetenland.

[-] [email protected] 6 points 5 months ago* (last edited 5 months ago)

The comparison is an apt one.

But to be pedantic, the Donetsk, Luhansk, Kherson and Zaporizhzhia regions are the equivalent of what the Sudetenland were to Nazi Germany.

The whole of Ukraine being the equivalent of the whole of Czechoslovakia which was Hitler's first target after convincing Europe to hand him the Sudetenland.

Sudentenland

Part of Czech lands that were heavily populated by native Germans. Germany wanted the land to protect those native German speakers so it invaded in 1938 .

It all went to shit around this with WW2. There were rumblings in 1900's prior to, during and after WW1.

So Russia is to the Ukraine Donbas as Germany was to the Czech Sudentenland.

It will probably get far worse.

This has left me at a loss for words. I wish Tucker the worst, I truly do.

[-] Imgonnatrythis 6 points 5 months ago

No better place for the worst than Russia.

Can't we airstrike on him now that he's a free agent? Take that garbage OUT
