I've said it before and I'll say it again, Tucker Carlson is a traitor and a Russian asset.

    The only way this might be worth Zelenskyy‘s time is if he silently beats Carlson to a bloody pulp.

    The man has REAL problems to deal with. He doesn’t need to be “interviewed” by some fascist bootlicker.

    If I were Zelensky, I'd only allow Tucker to visit if he went to a specific location, was stripped completely naked, cavity searched and then brought, blindfolded, to an undisclosed location.

    And then I'd still do the interview over Zoom.

    Tucker Carlson remains dedicated to "both sides"ing even to the point of giving a soft ball interview to a dictator.

    Of course he will; they coordinated this together. Now I'm not claiming I have proof of this, but tell me this doesn't smell 97% probable.

    I hope they're meeting in a skyscraper so Tuck Tuck can get a good view of Moscow.

    The “interview” is just cover.

    My bet is Putin is vetting Tucker Carlson for Trump’s running mate.

    Once Tucker kisses the ring, and likely commits a crime (or other misdeeds) on Putin’s orders (to serve as puppet-string kompromat for Putin’s plans), Putin will give the blessing for Trump to announce Tucker Carlson as his VP running mate.

    Then, just imagine a 2028 Presidential bid from Tucker (win or lose in ‘24)…

    Maybe Zelenskyy can agree and put him in jail until the war is over.

    Maybe while travelling from Russia to Ukraine, he'll become a casualty of a genocidal invasion he supports.

    Inb4 Tucker Carlson dies in the next few weeks, and everyone in close contact with him suffers serious illness, all in an attempt to get at Zelenski.

    Check your underwear, Carlson, that's more of a risk to you than any window.

    Well, he is probably trying to get Putin to invade Canada, because he couldn't get the US to do it.

    I know it would probably start world war 3 but it might be worth it to just bomb Moscow. He's that much of a tit.

    If you think the Tucson isn't interviewing Putin to show his "good" side, then you don't know the Republicans.

    It would shock, but not surprise me if this interview comes out and all it's nothing but softball questions and avoidance of the war crimes Putin is committing.

    Putin wouldn't agree to be interviewed if it were anything but that.
