Fox News Channel’s Tucker Carlson argued against the possibility of engaging in an armed conflict with Vladimir Putin’s Russia.
Russian forces are positioned along the Russia-Ukraine border, making some draw the conclusion Russia is poised to move into the former province of the Soviet Union.
Carlson told his viewers he saw no upside to the United States being involved.
Transcript as follows:
CARLSON: Here is something all of us need to begin to internalize. Just because something seems farfetched or it seems crazy or it seems totally destructive to core American interests doesn’t mean the U.S. government won’t do it. That’s the main lesson of the moment we are leaving in.
So with that in mind, do not discount no matter how farfetched it may seem a hot war with Russia. Yes, that is a lunatic idea. There is nothing we could possibly gain from a military confrontation with Vladimir Putin and there is very much we could lose, including of course many thousands of American lives, but that doesn’t mean Joe Biden won’t do it.
Biden is unpopular. He is incompetent and he is desperate, but more than anything Joe Biden is weak. He is a pawn of his staff and the hard-eyed ideologues who surround him. Russia is currently involved in a border dispute with neighboring Ukraine, and many of Biden’s closest aides are pushing the United States to get involved militarily.
