At the World Government Summit, Tucker Carlson told a gathering of world leaders that Moscow “was so much nicer than any city” in the United States. “It’s radicalizing for an American to go to Moscow,” Tucker went on. “I didn’t know that. I’ve learned it this week, to Singapore, to Tokyo, to Dubai and Abu Dhabi, because these cities, no matter how we’re told they’re run and on what principles they’re run, are wonderful places to live

If you’re wealthy, I imagine, Moscow is pretty great. This is true of most European cities. When you’re an American tourist, you tend to stay in clean and beautiful city centers, eat at the best spots, and wander around the most attractive areas of town. In Europe, you get to see onion domes that were built by serfs dotting the skyline. I’m sure it’s neat.
It is also true that if you’re an average person, Moscow is awful. The average Muscovite is most likely to live in some grim outlying apartment complex, many of which were built during the Soviet era. That’s if they’re lucky. Many Russians live in Novosibirsk, Ekaterinburg, Nizhny Novgorod, Omsk, and Ufa. Russia’s per capita yearly GDP is around $13,000. In the United States, it is around $83,000. It’s around $46,000 in Mississippi, our poorest state. Most Russians are living in what most Americans would consider poverty.
Not everything is about money, of course. Religious commitment? Around 50-65 percent of Americans claimed religion was important to them (depending on the poll). In Russia, it’s at 16-34 percent. The Russian divorce rate is at 74 percent, the highest in the world.

But that doesn’t change the fact that 20 percent of Russian households don’t have indoor plumbing. Or that a third of Russian hospitals don’t have running water.

Try walking across Portland with a MAGA hat. The town is a cesspool.
Zeepers hate Trump, hate Tucker Carlson, hate Americans, and love Biden like good little leftist creeps.
You would think that having Soros, the WEF, Biden, and Romney on their side but no, they are creepy communist Forever War creeps.
No doubt it is. And I love America. And I hate her enemies. Putin is not my enemy. My enemy is the leaders of this country who are destroying my country, knowingly, and willingly. If America could see what I have seen for the last 10 years, and trust me, I know that everyone lives in a bubble, there would be a revolution in this country tomorrow. Why in the hell are we focusing on Putin? It’s precisely because that’s who they want you to focus on while they destroy your country from within. Good Lord.
America is collapsing, thanks to NeoCon wars.
I trust Tucker’s views over those of Mr. Harsanyiiyiyiyiy
You need to see the “real America”.
Your tour could start in Lawrence and Brockton, MA, then move south to Hartford and Bridgeport, CT, then on to Newark and Camden, NJ, then over to Philadelphia, PA etc etc etc....
This is best done after midnight to see these cities in all of their glory.
“a third of Russian hospitals don’t have running water”
Can that be?
Tucker Carlson bashing America and glorifying Russia in a million dollar speech to Arab sheiks at the World Government Summit in Dubai is not a good look,
As I always remind my big brave neocon acquaintances, there are planes to Kiev. Remember if YOU don’t fight them there, you’ll be fighting them here. Your words, not mine. I think that’s BS. You don’t. Is it a question of nerve or expenses that keep YOU from doing your duty as you have described it here. If it’s cash, I’m willing to chip in to help for that plane ticket so you can save America from the Soviet menace. YOU really should.
What exactly do you think you have accomplished here? Do you not understand that your enemy is literally within your country? And you want to take someone like Tucker Carlson and demonize him for making a comment about the fact that American cities are Third World, shit, holes, and that it was all done, deliberately, and that the Grandmarch to our destruction continues. You’re just smart enough to understand that Putin is not a Freedom loving, democratically, elected leader. Boy oh boy are you not the smartest man in the room? What the hell does Putin have to do with the fact that your country is being destroyed every single day from within? What does Putin have to do with anything? You’re either completely disengaged from what happens in your country or you are a tool for the establishment. Which is it?
Some inner city areas in the US are very trashy & unsafe, but most of the newer suburbs will be nice. In Russia, they are more likely to focus on making the city nice & having subways that run on time. Suburbs where the Russian working class live tend to be drab & dreary.

To continue your tour—don’t forget Paterson, NJ, then Baltimore, MD and northern and southeastern Washington, DC.
I will let the southerners here give you their garden spots to visit.
Here’s a source on the Russian hospitals (it’s US propaganda):
The linked source from there, however, isn’t working.
I’m in!
I’ll just say it out loud for the whole crowd to hear- “MarcusMaximus is a tool for the establishment.”

FREEPER FOLLIES PINGLIST!!
(((PING!)))
Join and laugh!!
Marxistmus spams his 45th Tucker article on FR. Mods??
Never-in-uniform Tucker should take his soft hands and mouth to Gaza to service his beloved Hamas, whom he demands be left in power.
All done with this grifter.
You conflate love of your nation and its people with love of your government. They are two different things.
The way you try to wrap yourself up in the flag is disgusting. You are like a red, white and blue communist burrito.
