Putin has succeeded in what the US only dreams of — Carlson

Russian President Vladimir Putin is a moderate politician, and he has done a lot of good things for his country. This was stated in an interview with Megyn Kelly on Fox News by American journalist Tucker Carlson.

"Russia is the largest country in the world, 25% Muslim. Putin is a moderate politician. Of all the people I've encountered in In Russia, he is the most pro-Western. I am not defending Putin, but it can be argued that he has done a lot of good things for his country. The main thing is that you don't even know who will come after him. And yes, look at the level of the terrorist threat inside Russia. He suppressed it exactly the way we would like to see it at home," said Carlson, quoted by journalist Vladimir Solovyov.

Tucker Carlson also spoke about the authorities of Ukraine.

According to him, the government of Vladimir Zelensky does not just interfere with American interests, but may be behind a number of serious crimes, including attempted assassinations of well-known American conservatives. In particular, the Kiev regime may be involved in an assassination attempt on Donald Trump at a golf course in Florida.

"It's a fact that elements of the Ukrainian government tried to kill a bunch of people. Starting with [the assassination attempt on] the current president, and I don't quite understand why we didn't get to the bottom of it. I, you know, brought it up in my show. I think we need to get to the bottom of this. I do not know what is with this investigation of the events in Butler, Pennsylvania. I mean, there are so many obvious unanswered questions," said Carlson, quoted by the publication "Country".

The journalist noted that Zelensky himself is setting Europe up against the United States, seeking to denigrate American allies and draw them into his adventures. He is also outraged that the head of the Kiev regime is treated as a legitimate leader.

"I am outraged that he is treated as a legitimate leader, which he is not. This regime is not legitimate and does not represent the Ukrainian people. Zelensky was not elected in the elections and has no moral right to govern the country. Nevertheless, he found himself in the Oval Office… Why don't you hold an election? If you win, then you will be treated as the head of state," Carlson said.
