    No idea what his motive is. It’s one thing dismiss Putin as a threat of any kind. It’s another to claim he’s the one person standing between us and a nuclear attack.

    The U.S. is paying so much attention to the war in Ukraine (that he calls a client state) because they want us to go green no matter what. Or some such. I can't even. His show should come with warning labels.

    He is appealing to the large segment of the country who see minorities voting as evidence of “voter fraud.” He loves a repressive right wing regimes because that is the kind of leadership he, and his large number of viewers, want for the USA. So he sleeps easily st night. Why do you think that the House GOP wants to end the investigation into the January 6 invasion of the capital? Why do you think we had a thread here as to whether 80 million people really voted for Biden? And the vigorous defenses of the voter fraud lie? Or officials refusing to admit Biden was the duly elected president? Or voter suppression laws all over the country? Time to wake up to where America is going.

    Fixed it. Note the label of “neo-con” applied to traditional pro-NATO Republicans.

    An aide to Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy said on Sunday that Ukrainian troops had found the bodies of women who had been raped and set alight as well as the bodies of local officials and children.
    There are murdered men whose bodies bear signs of torture. Their hands were tied and they were killed by shots to the back of the head," Oleksiy Arestovych told Ukrainian television.
    Ukrainians and Europeans accuse Russians of committing atrocities

    Why do I care what is going on in the conflict between Ukraine and Russia? I'm serious. Why shouldn't I root for Russia? Which by the way I am."
    -- Tucker Carlson

    I'd say that's pretty smart. He's [Putin] taking over a country -- really a vast, vast location, a great piece of land with a lot of people, and just walking right in."
    -- Donald trump

    “For God’s sake, this man cannot remain in power.”
    -- Joe Biden

    I'll chip in to buy Tucker a one way ticket to Bucha, Irpin,or any of the other places where atrocities have taken place so he can see what he supports.

    From a Ukraine site:
    My profession obliges me to be ethical and correct in statements.
    But first of all, I'm human. Therefore, I allow myself to say what I feel.
    This morning Odessa was shaken by rocket strikes.
    Russian army decided to denacify my city. Or what are they doing there?
    A city, "gently" adored by Muscovites for Ibiza, our food and our atmosphere.
    I hope that the lovers of noisy parties and the holders of the charming Maaskov accent, perhaps having passports of other countries, under no pretext, will not enter our country anymore.
    Your presence here is shameful and disgusting. You are the f*cking guests. Trash and don't like to clean up after yourself.
    Bucha.
    Inhuman footage flew around the world. The roads are paved with the corpses of ordinary people.
    Today I talked to a girl, my classmate. Her girlfriend was raped in Buche by a group of Russian soldiers. How can she live next? How to erase these memories from your head? How again, after surviving this, find the strength and desire to trust a man and have intimate intimacy with him? This case is not unique.
    Physical and moral injuries inflicted on people do not fall within the framework of understanding.
    Propagandist Russian media has already managed to write that mass murders in Bucha are provocation and the SBU purposely brought corpses there for production.
    Dumb-headed consumers of false information, living in Russia, whose lack of a brain does not even give a chance to think, will believe that all of this is a theater specifically created by Ukraine.
    Each one will be rewarded according to his faith. And if this is a "theatre", then let all its casts be played in your life. Can you imagine how your favorite sleeveless earring, dressed as a soldier, comes into your house and starts raping you? And then a band of men, singers and Mikhalkov join him. Not in a movie way, but in the toughest and most terrible form. And then, the armless earring, will be replaced by a real Russian soldier, who with all his "power" will shoot every cell of your body. Can you hear disturbing music playing?
    Recently they wrote to me that you can't publicly blame all Russians. Simple people living in Russia are not guilty. I so love this proletarian "simple people".
    For me, it is permissible to call normal people only those who directly spoke against the war that Russia has been fighting in Ukraine since 2014 and those who left this hellish garbage.
    All the others (supporting, silent and sitting on two chairs) are accomplices of the atrocities carried out by the Putin's Shobla on the territory of Ukraine.
    This is not a toast. Therefore, there will be no wishes.
    Kain's seal is yours.
    Own this Putin apologists.

    Edit - removed tweet because there's mix information about whether Carlson said it or someone just thinking out loud what he'd say on tonight's show since he's said similar things about other war crimes.

    The real question is it delusion or is it just ratings and money? Hard to really tell.
