On of the things you really have to take pause with when analyzing Tucker Carlson is his ignorance of foreign affairs, contrasted with the fact that his father was eyeball-deep in covert actions by the US.
He also tried to join the CIA, but was denied because he couldn’t demonstrate cocaine-free blood sample to the Agency over the prior 18 months.
He grew up as part of the 1%, so he never needed to work for a living. Both of his mothers were heiresses to vast fortunes, and his dad was tied-in with banking, intelligence, media, and the diplomatic community. Dick Carlson used to run Voice of America and Radio Free Cuba.
Dick Carlson worked in all of those fields during his career. His life story is absolutely bonkers if you haven’t heard it.
Tucker is decades-late to the party of being aware of the corruption within the US government and media, per his own claims.
He should have been far more-informed with the foreign travel and access to the inner sanctum of decision-makers. To me, I have to question whether or not it’s an act at this point. The fact he didn’t bring up the Holodomor during the Putin interview was a gross error, for example, when Putin painted the history of Russia and Ukraine.
