    Most of those in the Crimes aren't Ukrainian.

    Many may be ethnic Russians, but they were Ukraine residents.

    Absolutely right. Putin has turned propaganda in to a weapon of war. Carlson is helping him in the endeavor.

    Tucker Carlson accuses America of “mounting a disinformation campaign” against Russia

    TUCKER CARLSON (HOST): Okay, just get a pen. It is a classic Russian technique to blame on the other guy what they are planning to do themselves, that is what Victoria Nuland said. We almost laughed out loud. So what you are saying, Victoria Nuland, if, for example, you were funding secret bio-labs in Ukraine but wanted to hide that fact from the people who were paying for it in whose name you are doing it, then you might lie about it by claiming the Russians were lying about it. In other words, you might mount a disinformation campaign by claiming the other guy was mounting a disinformation campaign. Is that what you are saying, Victoria Nuland? It's pretty funny. What is not funny is that this is all entirely real.

    It's gone too far now. There's no subtlety to it. He's brazenly, deliberately promoting what Putin's disinformation machine is spewing almost word for word.

    Tucker is right .... you are wrong.... the misinformation comes from the MSM....
    FF 3:50
    Under oath the Victoria Nuland did admit to Rubio Ukraine did have biolabs and they were not secured before the invasion….


    And just to get ahead of your uninformed rebuttal , let me just go ahead and respond to it ..
    You don't know what you are talking about...

    The USA today fact check was siting UKRAINIAN GOVERNMENT UNNAMED OFFICIALS and Biden STATE DEPT OFFICIALS... now there is some trust worthy reporting , being Ukraine is the third most corrupt in Europe and our own administration is the "BIG LIE"

    These labs are reporedly co-run by Fauci’s EcoHealth Alliance and rumor is Russia’s entire military operation right now is unofficially to either secure and/or destroy these labs and gather evidence. Seems the have wiped these file from the web site but they are still archived.

    This one costs US taxpayers USD $1,728,822

    As a disclaimer, I don't know if this reporting has been corroborated.

    Leaked Kremlin war memo instructs Russian state media to feature Fox News host Tucker Carlson 'as much as possible,' says Mother Jones report

    The Kremlin instructed Russian state media to feature Fox News host Tucker Carlson "as much as possible," according to Mother Jones. A leaked 12-page war memo, titled "For Media and Commentators," told Russian media that it is "essential" to use more Carlson segments in their coverage because of his positions on the war in Ukraine, Mother Jones reported.

    Carlson "sharply criticizes" the actions of the United States and NATO and their "negative role in unleashing the conflict in Ukraine," the memo said, per the media outlet.

    He is also critical of the "defiantly provocative behavior from the leadership of the Western countries and NATO towards the Russian Federation and towards President Putin, personally," the memo continued.

    I have no doubt that the Kremlin loves Tucker .. That does not make Tucker a Supporter of Russia - which is the non sequitur fallacy you are committing. That the Clowns over at MJ are spouting this fallacious nonsense .. as if it has some realationship to the truth ..are an anathema to the principles of journalism.

    The Truth is still the Truth -- regardless of whether Russia likes it or not. .. but if the Truth conflicts with the US propaganda narrative ..and Russia likes this fact .. these clowns seek to demonize the messenger .. in full denial of the message .. which is that the US propaganda clown show is alive and well.

    Contradicting yourself in the first sentence of that word salad didn't exactly make for a coherent reply.

    Clips of Carlson are now commonplace on Russian TV, Newsweek reported, noting that he is portrayed as being pro-Russia and sympathetic to Russian President Vladimir Putin. In late February, his sympathetic coverage of Russia led to state TV re-broadcasting his show with Russian subtitles.

    Insider's Mia Jankowicz reported that Carlson, before the Russian invasion of Ukraine, echoed many of Putin's talking points during a Fox News segment. In a now-infamous speech, he posed this question to viewers: "Why do Democrats want you to hate Putin?"


    The Kremlin rebroadcasts what Tucker says because it is in support of Putin. Because it questions US policy towards Russia and Ukraine. Because Carlson's useful idiocy is helpful in Putin's disinformation campaign.

    While this Russian TV news producer shows incredible courage Tucker Carlson pads his bank account by helping Putin spread propaganda among the Russian people. The word for it is treacherous, otherwise known at Faux as routine programming.

    Care to square this^^^ circle? Tulsi is a past or current cult member seeking a platform and she knows full well the gullibility of the far right. Well, maybe she's just coo coo for coco puffs as well.
