Tucker Carlson’s Controversial Return to Russia Amid Nuclear War Warnings.
Former Fox News host Tucker Carlson has once again found himself at the center of controversy, this time for announcing his return to Russia following a “bombshell interview” with Kremlin leader Vladimir Putin.
In a clip shared on X (formerly Twitter), Carlson boldly declared, “We are closer to nuclear war than at any time in history.” The conservative commentator expressed his displeasure with the Joe Biden administration’s handling of the ongoing conflict between Russia and Ukraine, particularly the president’s approval of the deployment of American-made long-range missiles on Russian territory.
Carlson claimed that the United States is in an “undeclared war” with Russia, one that most Americans did not vote for and do not want. He accused the Biden administration of actively pushing the world closer to the brink of a nuclear war, drawing comparisons to the Cuban Missile Crisis.
Carlson’s announcement has elicited a range of responses, both supportive and critical. Collin Rugg, the co-owner of Trending Politics, praised Carlson, stating that he is “doing more to prevent a nuclear war than our government.”
Carlson further claimed that the U.S. Embassy in Kyiv had prevented Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy from granting an interview on his program.
This, he said, prompted him to return to Russia and speak with Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov to gain the “Russian perspective” and better understand the direction of the conflict.
Tucker Carlson’s return to Russia, coupled with his dire warnings about the risk of nuclear war, is sure to ignite further debate and controversy.
The former Fox News host has long been a polarizing figure, and his latest actions are likely to reinforce his reputation as a fiercely independent, and at times, contrarian voice in the media landscape.
