Carlson traveled to Moscow to push the Kremlin’s Ukraine propaganda in public, but what was he doing in private?

Summary

Tucker Carlson’s recent interview with Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov in Moscow has sparked speculation from Kremlin insiders that Carlson may be serving as a secret back-channel between Vladimir Putin and Donald Trump.

Carlson’s questioning aligned with Kremlin narratives, urging the U.S. to withdraw support for Ukraine to avoid nuclear conflict.

Russian state media figures suggested Carlson’s visit could involve delivering messages about potential negotiations between Putin and Trump.

Carlson’s interview was criticized for failing to challenge Lavrov’s denials of war crimes and misrepresentations of Russia’s role in the Ukraine conflict.

    So just curious, if there’s actual treason occurring by our officially elected president with a foreign adversary, who fixes this? The military? Or what? Seriously curious.

      Before the inauguration, I’m pretty sure it’s basically on Biden via some sort of official act (I could be wrong about this, I am not a constitutional scholar). After the inauguration, it’s on Congress and boy do I have bad news for ya there.

      Well but who decides that they’re our adversary, if not things like the president and the state department and other elements of the executive? Congress could put up a stink, but they certainly haven’t yet and they’re even more tilted in trumps favor right now. The president also commands the military, so Trump could literally just say, we’re friends with Russia now and we are turning our back on NATO and Ukraine and that would now be the paradigm. Kinda fucks my brain over but honestly who’s a friend and who’s an enemy is something very fluid and can simply change…
