    He absolutely is. He's going around saying that Putin would never invade and that all Putin wants to do is protect his border against NATO countries. Sorry, that's bull ****, and that's just the way it is.

    “Carlson has previously sided with Russia over Ukraine, saying in December that Putin was justified in building up troops along the border”
    https://www.businessinsider.com/tucker-carlson-asks-why-us-should-side-ukraine-over-russia-2022-1

    He’s spreading Russian talking points and is openly saying that Ukraine is the same as Russia politically. He’s falling for Russian talking points and promoting them. Hate to say it but he should know better.

    Tucker is cheerleading for a brutal autocrat who is attacking our ally in order to expand his authoritarian territory. That's what he's catching flak for.

    The fact that you are gleeful for the success of a murderous autocrat is priceless. Not all of us share your love to authoritarianism and attacks on democracy.

    Why?

    Your comment is strange. You seem to be the one squealing over the antics of a scumbag.

    Some people value "own the libs" more than they value human life or democracy.

    When you have been radicalized to the point where you see 60% of Americans as a mortal enemy(AKA dehumanized), 'worthy' of your hatred, you have been radicalized. Deprogramming takes too long sadly.

    Exactly. And they praised Bonespurs when he did or said something stupid and "owned the libs", as though it takes the place of sound policy.

    Boo hoo..there are many on here who don't give a care about Ukraine, Russia or you sudden view on what is going on... I can literally turn on CNN and get the same babbling from them that some on here do. Feel free to send your kid off to another war... or join up yourself to ""protect democracy""

    Welcome to America... please change the channel if you don't like what Tucker is saying... it is called freedom of speech

    It may be strange to some folks... but Tucker may be one that actually trust's what the scumbag, authoritarianist , murderous autocrat, Pootin with his brains intact says,

    over what

    dementia ridden crime boss who has lied from day one about his crime family has taken monies from Russia and Ukraine and the fact he and his family is a "bought " man.... the fact Joe and his family is compromised a big deal whether yo want to admit it or not. Biden screwed up Afghanistan and there is a pretty good chance he is about to screw this one up also.

    here is Joe's response

    Yet another example of the Left making accusations where they point the finger at someone else while they are actually the guilty culprits.

    The most troubling part of this post is that Biden made plenty of money off of the kickbacks he received from the Koch-Glitsch Italia deal where US made equipment was used to help finish Putin's pipeline going into the Crimea, in spite of sanctions being in place.

    And the worst part of the situation was the fact that it was US aide money to Ukraine that was supposed to help pay off their debts to Naftogaz.

    Putin loves the fact that Biden is compromised because of this. Hunter was the bag man and watchdog who was able to funnel the kickbacks through Burisma via Latvia and Cyprus.

    Hunter even received some direct "gift" money from Moscow.

    As soon as Biden was elected, Natalia Cherenkova was given her free, no strings attached, green card and is now working in the US.

    Free speech is what I'm using. Is this your first time encountering the concept that freedom of speech allows for debate? Welcome to America, where even the people you disagree with have free speech. Please stop responding to this thread if you don't like what people are saying . . . it is called freedom of speech.

    Any more pieces of mindless hypocrisy you'd like to share to try to defend authoritarianism?

    It might help this person more if he is educated about the reality that the Left has a consistent habit of accusing other of things that they themselves are doing.

    I'll take it that you feel the need to deflect from the topic at hand.

    What Carlson is doing is the logical consequence of Faux's abdication of adherence to the kinds of journalistic practices that should have prevented it from becoming a shill for the thousands of lies Trump told over the years.

    Yes, in the exact same way that the right does.

    No need to project. I'm more than happy to discuss and have been doing so.

    For the record, your claim is pretty weak. But why am I not surprised?

    Then you didn't comprehend the claim. But why am I not surprised?

    I find it rather interesting that Trump was stirring up the nutjobs by vowing to "lock her up" in light of his theft of records from the Whitehouse.

    Just answer these two questions and I will take you seriously:


    1. How did Koch-Glitsch equipment end up being given to Putin for his Crimea pipeline while U.S. sanctions were in place?

    2. Why will the Secret Service not release Hunter's travel records in spite of being lawfully required by FOIA regulations?

    Boy, I really want to be taken seriously by an anonymous guy on an internet forum.

    The reply was not directed at you, but why did you even bother to comment if you personally have no interest in being taken seriously?

    Globalists are getting away with almost anything they want to these days.

    So why is it so hard for anyone to actually talk about what they are getting away with? After all, it won't matter what is said here. It won't impact anything.

    Your screaming about Tucker’s opinion shows you don’t want to hear what he says …. Your instant ad hominem seems to suggests your will not let anyone have their freedom of speech… just because they don’t agree with you. You no more represent free speech than Joe does.
