Fox News' Tucker Carlson says US 'should take the side of Russia over Ukraine' in defence of Vladimi

Fox News’ Tucker Carlson says US ‘should take the side of Russia over Ukraine’ in defence of Vladimir Putin

TV host doubles down on support for Putin after ‘joking’ about ‘rooting for Russia’ last week

"SNIP......

Fox News host Tucker Carlson has backed Russia over Ukraine for the second time in a week and suggested some US journalists hate America more than Vladimir Putin.

Mr Carlson said the US should “probably take the side of Russia” in a dispute between Mr Putin’s country and Ukraine, even though Ukraine is a US ally.

On Monday night, Republican congressman Jim Jordan denied suggestions that Donald Trump is helping Russia by pointing out that the Trump administration has placed sanctions on the country.

However, the Fox News presenter quickly replied that he “totally opposed” those sanctions.

“I should say for the record, I’m totally opposed to these sanctions and I don’t think we should be at war with Russia… I think we should probably take the side of Russia, uh, if we have to choose between Russia and Ukraine,” he said.

Carlson want the norms, about militarily annexing a less powerful neighbour, undone. Starting wars are fine too. I'm sure that will lead to much hilarity And what a ****ing waste of money and lives, and what grief it will cause everywhere. But Tucker thinks it is a non thing. He must have military stock.

What!!! ANN Coulter wanted to cancel the enlightenment years ago. Those right wingers opinion leaders have interesting and frightening aspirational ideas.

...This is such a symptom of rot."

"Why does anyone pay attention to him? He's a blowhard and a putz" (that was Donny Deutsch, who repeated his assessment when reminded that 3- to 4,000,000 people watch him and he is therefore noticed around the world: "He's a putz!" )

The comment that shocked me was from David Frum: "Russia is the white nationalists' new Israel." That made my jaw drop, coming from the old Neocon.
