In a preview of an interview with Chris Cuomo, Tucker Carlson admitted to having more sympathy for Russian President Vladimir Putin than for Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky. He emphasized the need to judge leaders based on their effectiveness for their country. The conversation occurred amidst ongoing tensions in Ukraine, where Russian aggression has been a significant concern. Carlson acknowledged Putin's complex power dynamics in Russia, while also denying being labeled as pro-Putin. The interview reflects Carlson's controversial views on the conflict, especially in the context of U.S. support for Ukraine.
I am definitely more sympathetic to Putin than Zelensky for the following reason: I think it's fair to judge leaders on how they do for their country.
Putin does not have absolute control of his country, and there are all kinds of potential rivals.
I've been accused of being pro-Putin, and I'm not. And if I was, that's okay too, I'm an adult man, an American citizen.
You sound more sympathetic towards him than towards Zelensky.
