Carlson picked up some of his usual, conspiracy-theory-tinged topics and sympathies to the Russian government in the video, calling Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky “sweaty and rat-like” and suggesting without evidence that Ukraine was responsible for the destruction of a major dam on its territory. He also accused mainstream media outlets of suppressing a claim from a former military officer that the U.S. government has secret knowledge of alien spacecraft.
What an absolute shit-stain of a human being and the saddest part is that he still got over 16M views already.

Huh, someone here on lemmy who claims to be a leftist was saying exactly the same thing, down to the same insults of zelenky’s appearance. I wonder if some of the tankies on here are straight up just republicans larping as “leftists”?
@spoonful@hedge I agree with many of his claims but I was surprised to see #TuckerCarlson claim that #Zelensky was a warmonger who destroyed the #Nordstream pipeline. I thought the general line of thinking outside of the #MSM was that it was the #USA who blew up the #Nordstream pipeline and that the reason that aide to #Ukraine has been unaccounted for is because #Zelensky is funneling the money to seedy folks who might be mob bosses. There’s no basis to the claim that #Zelensky is a mere warmonger.
Where are you getting the USA destroying the Nordstream pipeline evidence? AFAIK that shitty blog post has been debunked a thousand times over and if anything all current evidence leads to Russia doing it.
#Nordstream2 is an oil pipeline between #Germany and #Russia; Occam’s Razor would point to either the #USA or #Ukraine being the culprits here, but more money on the #USA of course since it is something that we promised to do.

Blowing the pipeline was unnecessary. The US and Germany could turn it off where it came out of the water. This was Russia’s doing because only they have demonstrated zero regard for environmental damage from their actions.

I wonder what ethnicity uses to be stereotyped in those terms and how they relate to Zelensky… 🤔
As for the self described leftist, if you look closely at a tankie and you’ll always find a fascist.
I’ve been saying that. Scratch a tankie and a fascist bleeds.

@spoonful I didn’t even know there was a blog post about it.
I do know that #JoeBiden promised to get rid of the pipeline if #Russia invaded #Ukraine though.
