Russia, and prepare yourselves because this is the global headline, Russia is actively considering the use of nuclear weapons against Europe. Not against Kiev, against Europe. Specifically, the UK and Germany.
Just taking out the UK and Germany with nuclear weapons. That's a fact. Now, we're going to explain why we know that that's true in a moment.
And at the end of this open, we're going to play an interview we did a few hours ago with a man called Sergei Karnagov, who is a longtime political advisor to Vladimir Putin and one of the most famous public intellectuals in Russia, been around for about 35 years, advised Boris Yeltsin, you know, 30 years ago, more than 30 years ago. And in that interview, he says point blank, yes, if the Ukraine war continues at this tempo for a year or two more, we, speaking apparently on behalf of the Russian government, on behalf of his friend Putin, or at least someone who's very familiar with President Putin's thinking, we, Russia, will eliminate the UK and Germany with nuclear weapons. Now, that's a headline.
No one wants to see Qatari gas wellheads blown up. No one wants to see killing of any kind or destruction of any kind. But taking out the two most important countries in Europe, both of which have big American bases, lots of American personnel, of course, international banking, Germany being the economic engine of Europe, London being the banking center of Europe, really of the West, along with New York.
And of course, these are two ancient countries with which we have close ties, history and kinship and genetics. We're going to take them out. We're going to eliminate those countries with nuclear weapons, saying that right into camera.
So that's a pretty big story. Have you read that story? Has anyone mentioned that to you, that the most famous public intellectual in Russia, a close friend of Vladimir Putin's, exactly the same age, the two were born a month apart, have known each other a long time, is saying in public that Russia plans to use nuclear weapons against Western Europe, Russia is going to blow up the UK and Germany if things don't get resolved soon? You probably haven't heard that. It hasn't actually been on the front page of the New York Times.
I don't think the Times of London has mentioned it. No one seems to be paying any attention at all to the biggest story of our lifetimes, potentially. And that's very odd.
I expect the number of comments to skyrocket, just as soon as the Putin Fanbois decide whether to denounce this as Globalhomo propaganda designed to stampede the rest of the world into opposing Putin, or cheer for nuclear war, because it is all part of Putin’s Cunning Plan ™
Now how could that be possible? Thought Ukraine had been "wiped out" weeks ago, months ago, years ago, etc.?
I’m giving you only 8 more guesses. Does that work with your schedule?
“No one is nuking anyone.”
I wouldn’t count on that 100%…. Maybe 88%.
Something’s going on with this stall in dealing with Iran and Netanyahu, the Saudis and others telling Trump not to piss off Iran.
Did Mossad find out that the Ayatoilet has a nuke warhead from the Norks?
This isn’t normal behavior for Netanyahu who wanted to kill the Ayatoilet!
What super secret clearance in Moscow does he have that he would know this. Sounds like he’s taking every day Propoganda. But will it be surprised if nukes go off somewhere in the next year or two, honestly. Nosy wishing for it but it will not surprise me, no one is even trying to talk peace, it’s all escalation.
Video Transcript Summary
The transcript is a monologue and interview from a January 14/15, 2026, episode of The Tucker Carlson Show.
Tucker Carlson discusses global events and foreign policy risks, framing them as major developments under the Trump administration, then interviews Sergei Karaganov (a Russian political advisor and intellectual close to Vladimir Putin).
Key points from the monologue:
You are much better off if you just ignore Texas ‘Tater.
“I’m giving you only 8 more guesses. Does that work with your schedule?”
Nope. Standing with my first and only.
It's the only way for him to remain in the social media conversation.
It would be the last button they would push !
Putin and his generals have to know IF they were to do this the UK would respond in kind....possibly with the US.
There would be so many people pushing so many buttons so fast you wouldn't have time to pound out a keyboard warrior rant.
It became a running joke on X, much like the Iraqi Information Minister was during the Gulf War. One Cuthbert Shaw on X used to track all of Russia's threats. After two years he gave up on it as the point was made. Russia makes threats to intimidate the West that Putin will never back up.
Another threat by a Putin ally to Carlson changes nothing, adds no more weight or gravitas to what has been said dozens of times over the last four years.
“Tucker Carlson reports Russia is actively considering using nuclear weapons against Europe.”
Well, the Globalist European leaders have all but PROMISED to start their war against Russia in about 5 years. Perhaps if they don’t want to find out whether Russian nukes work, they should STFU.
there in lies a problem, any nuke, anywhere used in anger might well trigger actions and re-actions that there is no turning back from.
True. But I think if the Ruskies limit targets to the UK and Germany, France does what it does best. Nothing.
Agree. Once the Jeannie is out of the bottle all bets are off.
Another threat by a Putin ally to Carlson changes nothing, adds no more weight or gravitas to what has been said dozens of times over the last four years.
This is the dumbest thing I’ve heard in a while, but you do hear it from time to time.
Militaries make war plans; that’s what they do in their spare, not fighting, time.
Russia has had nukes aimed at western Europe since the Cold War. So they are updating their plans, whatever.
I’m sure if you searched the Pentagon you would find plans on a shelf somewhere for invading, I don’t know, Greenland of all things. Or Canada, or Barbados or whatever.
Tucker did a great service by allowing Putin to explain his reasons for going into Ukraine, but this sounds like propaganda for Davos-NATO-Globohomo.
Isn’t that the reason they made all those nukes.
