Tucker Carlson’s fulsome praise of Russia’s capital city is so far off the mark, it’s embarrassing.
Moscow,” Tucker Carlson announced this week, from his populist redoubt at the World Government Summit in Dubai, “is so much nicer than any city in my country. I had no idea. It is so much cleaner, and safer and prettier, aesthetically. Its architecture, food, and services than in any city in the United States. And this is not ideological. How did that happen?”
The simplest answer to this inquiry is that it didn’t.
I daresay that Carlson did, indeed, have a nice time when he visited Moscow. As a rich foreign tourist who was being carefully minded by the Russian government, he was undoubtedly exposed to the Moscow that its champions wanted him to see. And that city, I’ll wager, is pretty swell. But still. Better than every city in the United States? The idea is ridiculous. I have been to Moscow. I have also been to most of the major cities in America. There is no sense in which Moscow could be placed at the top of the list. There is a small part of the place that is rather pretty, and, thanks largely to the mafia, a few good restaurants have popped up, but the rest of it remains as bleak and moribund and soulless as it was during the Soviet era. It is a museum, and an ugly one at that.

ROFL!!!
Where the execrable Klaus Schwab is hanging out ...
Give me any newspaper over RINO National Review any day.
But even you have to admit, Boise and the surrounding amazing area is not even close to representative of any major urban center in America.
It is notable FOR it’s throwback uniqueness.
Fine here is Oakland......or Newark......or Detroit
Berlin in the late 30’s was pretty safe as well. You know, aside from the Nazis.
Tucker’s producer Justin Wells is married to another man, so Tucker checked the Globohomo box, too.
Gary, Indiana
Detroit, MI
Memphis, TN
East St Louis, Ill

Gary Indiana is really just an extension of South Chicago, No? It used to be you could walk on the streets of Chicago as long as it was downtown or the north side. Not so sure about that anymore.
I’m pretty sure Edgar Allan Poe wouldn’t be worried about Ravens or hallucinations if he was walking around Cherry Hill in Baltimore.
Even robocop wouldn’t go to Detroit these days.
Boise also has an exceptional gun counter at their Cabela’s...seriously worth the drive!
The way to do this is simple.
First, assess Tucker’s credibility, and any likely reasons he would have to give a false report about Moscow.
Then use basic logic.
“Sharles” Cooke has been escorted off Free Republic more than a few times...
Charles C. W. Cuck has been a member of FR?
World Government Forum in Dubai? LOL!
I’ll take Moscow over Baltimore, Detroit, East St. Louis, Camden, Dearborn, San Fransico . . . . .
Much too complex for you Marcus.
And hats. Everyone wore a hat.
And smarter than any ten of us...
I’ve never been to Moscow, but you don’t want to ever find yourself in Camden NJ. Or much of Newark. Or Baltimore. Or DC. Or Gary Indiana.
My wife, daughter and granddaughter traveled without me and made a pit stop in Gary I would have never done that.
They got their business done and hit the road quick the cashier at the gas station behind three layers of glass.
Our resident Ukies should have glowing reports of any Ukranian city.
We need to measure poop on the street to get an excrement to excrement comparison.
