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.

Brit?
You have a link for that ?
Definitely better than almost all the blue run cities...
“I went to Warsaw last year, it is probably the cleanest big city I’ve ever been to.”
I wouldn’t mind going to Warsaw. I have a feeling I have distant relatives from there.
Bottom line, Warsaw has not had the Marxist Democrats in charge of their demise and of the intentional trashing of their cities like we have and still are enduring. For that they have been lucky, because I fear that the worst is yet to come for us.
Man y’all are as uninformed about Tucker as you are Ukraine and Russian context
🔝🔝
I post facts, I also pleaded with you to educate yourself, which only earned me, yet again, your puerile, very EMOTIONAL name calling and smear.
Okay, n00b, from now on I'll just be bemused and laugh at your feeble attempts here.
“Nazis and Communists were two rabid dogs fighting over the same bone.”
And fighting and working for the same master (cue Church Lady here).
“Okay, n00b, from now on I’ll just be bemused and laugh at your feeble attempts here.”
Lolol... and I’ll be laughing at you laughing at me.
“Man y’all are as uninformed about Tucker as you are Ukraine and Russian context”
Well, since this thread probably can’t get any worse from here... please enlighten us on all things Tucker. I’m eager to hear something that might change my current viewpoint on him.
Why did Stalin turn against Hitler?
Because bloody-handed, bloody-minded, murderous totalitarian dictators can’t stand competition.
And we see that same impulse here in America, where politicians seek to destroy anyone who might be perceived as a rival. The destruction here rarely rises to the level of literal killing (so far), but it derives from the same mindset.
As you sit in a corner and drool, while sucking your thumb.
And guess who helped Hitler to kill off the German Communists? Stalin!
Stalin didn't want a Communist Germany that wasn't under the rule of the Soviet Union. He saw it as a potential threat to the Soviet Union's leading role in the Worldwide Communist movement.
Somebody needs to slap Cucker and Candace Oreo across the face.
“Take him to Detroit!”
“The destruction here rarely rises to the level of literal killing (so far), but it derives from the same mindset.”
Rarely... but not exactly unheard of.
We know history; too bad many here no longer do. Thanks for that input.

"Having traveled widely, it seems profoundly obvious to me that far and away the best place to live in the world is the United States, and that far and away the best time to live here is right now. Yes, our president is a vegetable. Yes, the guy trying to replace him is a scoundrel. Yes, we have all manner of problems to address, from inflation to debt to crime to foreign affairs to a rising ride of cultural illiberalism."
