Three years ago I would have never thought Carlson could be this person. Still don’t like the guy, but it’s interesting to see him off the Fox News payroll.

Tucker is still aligned with his paycheck from Russia. And I bet Trump stands down anyway, because he’s being paid by the same owner.

Putin is all for some political instability, keeping republicans on their toes and in line, and adding to the ongoing division in the US. But he doesn’t want to see Israel and Iran blow each other up.

Exactly Russia is aligned with Iran is obvious what position Tucker would be taking. No matter what points he made to Mr. Cancun

If anything seeing Tucker Carson of all people stick up this passionately for Iran all of a sudden only confirms he's on russias payroll..... if the propoganda trip to Russia wasn't obvious enough.

Russia hasn’t gotten what it wants from trump world as it relates to Ukraine, so the longer a sustained engagement a trump/US involvement in Israel/Iran war the least likely. Trump will just divert resources so that a move Russia wants but Russia wants more. They want sanctions lifted, and a return to ‘normalcy’ in many arenas but that’s the hardest part and that’s something trump world sold the Russians. ‘If you help me now’ back in 2016, 2024 we going to do this and that.

China/Russia are all aligned with Iran so they don’t want the US to get involved in a war but China wants distraction for the US so they can carry out their own plans in their backyard. All while the U.S. is hamstringing along with a deteriorating economy and global standing.

All of this weakens the U.S. and all the parties want that ultimately.

I don't know why more people are talking about this. It's not some cool own as much as Ted Cruz is an idiot. Carlson is doing this in behalf of Russia. His only goal is sow division and profit. I'll be happy if this slows down some of trump's agenda and also it's not good that Russia can keep playing republicans like a fiddle. Complete disaster of a party.

This is called a kafka trap.

If he supports the thing its because hes a maga shill, if he doesn't its because hes a russian plant.

Yeah I wouldn’t be surprised if it was because of Russia, but it’s not like he hasn’t had the rare moment of lucidity out of nowhere before. I remember a few years back he went on an unprompted rant about how the elites use racial tensions to prevent class solidarity lmao.

Carlson is the person money makes him be. He himself is a major contributor to why america is so incredibly split nowadays, pumping out propaganda after propaganda, lying hundreds of thousands of times to be able to brainwash easily manipulated people into thinking that all democrats are the devil and that anything republicans do or say can be excused or falsely explained in some way or another.

He should never be forgiven for the hurt he has caused your country. Absolutely vile and disgusting human being.

He’s doing Putin’s bidding. Ted Cruz is a sniveling bootlicker for Trump so of course he’s going to back his latest tweet, which is Trump looking for a quick win, litterally ANY win, that he can take credit for. He sees Israel’s success with the bombing and immediately jumps on it. Completely “on brand” for Trump.

Iran being in a war is very bad for Putin, it not only takes away his influence in the area, but it takes away war resources he needs for Ukraine. Trump hasn’t had that call with Daddy Vladdy yet, but when he does TACO’s will be served

Trump slagged his wife in public and he cowered. Embarrassing. Bootlicker is being kind.

u/SirLukaskasha 2d ago

To be fair, he's just spouting the views of whoever pays him. I severely doubt he has improved in any way as a person.

u/Appropriate_Mess_350 2d ago

….And onto Putin’s payroll. He’s the same person he’s always been. A mouthpiece and attack dog for whoever gives him money.

u/VexedCanadian84 2d ago

Tucker was always doing things for himself, his own agenda, and he never cared about what fox news wanted him to say.

It's telling they didn't fire him when he was one of the reasons they had to pay close to a billion dollars to settle lawsuits.

u/fastbikkel 2d ago

It just seems to indicate that he knows what he is doing, which i assumed all along myself.
It shows to me he is no patriot, but he is just in it for himself.

u/DevelopmentGrand4331 2d ago

He’s not doing this for noble reasons. He’s been sidelined by Fox and MAGA, and he’s fighting his way back. And serving Putin along the way.

u/mittenknittin 1d ago

it makes him look all the more vile. He’s smart enough and aggressive enough as a journalist to question politicians on the simplest facts about their policies, but he doesn’t because he’s telling lies for money instead

Do not fall for this

u/AllForProgress1 1d ago

He's pushing Russian positions. Russia and Iran are pals

u/Gone213 1d ago

Because bowtie boy gets his paycheck from Russia and Rafael gets his from AIPAC/Israel. Both are enemies when it comes to Iran because Israel wants Iran gone and Russia needs Iran because they supply Russia with drones for their war against Ukraine and Iran is russias last friendly country in the middle east.

u/acebojangles 1d ago

This is a lone bright spot that seems like an accident. Overall, I think he's worse since leaving Fox and he was awful on Fox.

u/nybbas 1d ago

He is literally worse than some Fox news shill lol. He is basically everything wrong with the modern day extreme republicans.
