Tucker Carlson's Tourism in Russia is Undermining Trump
Tucker is back in Russia venting his theatrical fear of the consequences of American weapons being used in Russia to Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov. In doing so, he is amplifying a Kremlin campaign to make Western leaders fear a nuclear war and hold back in aiding Ukraine. He is also limiting President-Elect Trump’s negotiation options.
If Tucker is looking for information on whether Russia will use nukes, he would be better served going to Beijing. Xi Jinping, who is sponsoring Putin’s war, has repeatedly told him not to use nukes.
The propaganda campaign Tucker is promoting has been a key component of Putin’s propaganda war. Documents hacked from the Kremlin email boxes prove this. They show messages from April 2022 from Putin’s first deputy chief of staff authorizing the creation of a propaganda campaign to create a “nuclear psychosis” among western leaders
