No, he's a very accurate weathervane.
He knows what his followers want to hear and what will get him ratings and attention.
So, you are asserting that Tucker Carlson is a stooge, a peddler of information, and propagandist, much like those that inhabit FR and incessantly post up pro-Ukrainian propaganda via the propaganda-ridden Western/US/EU/UK/NATO media?
Okie dokie.
Even John le Carre never imagined this mess.
I slightly favor the Russian black op theory over any other, simply because NATO or the USA (or Britain, France, any other actor in that alliance) really gains nothing by blowing up these pipelines. As stated above, Putin does gain a pretext for taking action against western economic interests.
However, since the CIA warned Germany about this possibility, you would have to suppose that they have been watching the pipeline waters and may have some evidence to bring forward. Of course that will lead to more claims and counter-claims of who is lying and who is telling the truth.
People are dug into two different narratives and will not easily be dislodged from either of them. I am trying to keep an open mind without just being an airhead. And I am no big fan of any of the following — Biden, globalism, the EU, or for that matter Putin. If they could all lose this war while the Ukrainian people somehow won, that would be ideal but not sure how that might happen.
