Thursday, during his show’s opening monologue, FNC host Tucker Carlson speculated why Rep. Jamie Raskin (D-MD) was a vociferous proponent of a war against Russia.
According to Carlson, Raskin’s public remarks showed he was against Russia because it was an “orthodox Christian country with traditional social values.”

You’re RIGHT!!!!
We can have peace and a return of diesel fuel NOW if we stop our political class from trying to destroy Russia!!!!
Just the effeminate ones. He really didn't care about Rohm's homosexuality.
Just look at the explosive outrage the globohomo neoCONs have over Hungary protecting it’s borders and heritage and the vociferous outrage over Italy electing a non-globohomo leader. These people are sick, and they are full of intense hatred for Christianity, traditional values, and European heritage. These people are satanic for sure, and they control most Western nations, including the good old USA through a fraudulent election.
I think Putin is just cynically trying to take advantage of the divide in Western Countries, just as the Bolsheviks did during the Cold War.
The difference is that the Bolshies supported the Left, and Putin supports the Right. But the goal is the same.
Why do you neoCONs always omit the fact that Western globohomos and Soros overthrew the Ukraine government and installed a globohomo puppet who has actually been attacking and killing Russian speaking people’s in Eastern Ukraine? You want people to believe that Ukraine was just an innocent bystander attacked by an insanely aggressive Russia.
quote “You want people to believe that Ukraine was just an innocent bystander attacked by an insanely aggressive Russia.”
because we think people should know the truth, not Russian propaganda.
Majority of Jews I have met over my 62 years in USA do not like anything religious Christian. In my work place, a person would recite a short Christian prayer during a retirement dinner occasion, and my Jewish colleagues would be squirming and get hot under the collar and wanted no such prayer. I am a Hindu and I had zero problem with any nice sounding prayer. My religion teaches tolerance of other religions. Which may be why so many religions began in India, and so many different religion people live in India where the Muslim population is one of the largest of any country in the world.
The commies pushed this crap on our society for years and now the beast they created is biting them in the ass. Too freaking bad.
Milton was the economic adviser to Barry Goldwater during his 1964 campaign to be president. So he was not a Demorat.
I like Tucker and usually agree with him - especially our need to question everything and consider alternatives.
However, this is naive’. Putin is about Putin.
“Christianity” or traditional values have nothing to do with it and I suspect if all of us (I am a Christian) did not feel as if we were under constant attack by people who seek to dominate all of us and push our faith to the fringe we would more clearly see the truth.
Yes, we appreciate the intent to fight off the progressive ideology of the West and it sells well with the Russian people, but in reality he is no different than Hugo Chavez was - he has looted his country and provides a message that allows him to retain his power base. If Chavez had believed he would make more money with a MAGA message he would have been all for it.
Follow the money....... it usually drives the “politics”.
Raskin signed the progressives’ letter asking for a negotiated peace. Then the progressives had to back down. Raskin needed a reason to justify his flip-flop. He went with the theme of the day: LGBTQ+ (with a nod to feminism and nativism and a discrete wink at racism). I don’t see a deep-seated hatred of Russia, Russian Orthodoxy or Christianity involved.
Ukraine is a cess pool of corruption and so is Washington DC. Putin, Biden, democrats, Rino republicans, Ukraine, Soros should all go pound sand. And add all the people in the WEF too!

I don’t consider Putin to be a “Christian” but I also can recognize that his opposition to the New World Order is helpful to my own interests.
However, he is NOT a nice person. Possibly one of the greediest people in the history of humanity and his ultimate downfall might be that he did not “spread the wealth” enough in his own nation. It makes him very vulnerable for a “populist” who will promise the Russian people that he will take back the wealth that Putin and his corruptocrat oligarchs have looted.
I have never understood why people like Putin and the oligarchs on both sides of the conflict are so greedy. You can live like a King with more wealth than you can ever spend and your subjects would adore you if you only siphoned off a sliver of the money and spread the rest......
Castro had this figured out in Cuba but it seems like greed with absolute power leaves most “leaders” wanting more and more.
This can be fatal if you understand Russian history......
By every measure, including church attendance, Ukraine is a much more religious "orthodox country" than Russia.
"The White House banned Russian oil, natural gas and coal. It was our moral duty. Then at the same time, the Biden administration crushed domestic oil production here by canceling oil and gas leases and then, as if that wasn’t enough, the Biden administration sold a piece of our Strategic Petroleum Reserve, maybe this country’s most important resource, to China. None of this hurt Putin in any way. All of it impoverishes the United States.
So what could possibly be the justification for doing that? We’ve wondered. Anyone who is paying attention has had to have wondered that.
Well, this week, Congressman Jamie Raskin of Maryland, of Bethesda answered that question. Russia is an orthodox Christian country with traditional social values and for that reason, it must be destroyed, no matter what the cost to us."
Okay, so who the hell appointed Jamie Raskin to answer on behalf of the entire country the question posed by Tucker? Oh, I know -- Tucker himself did. That is just incredibly dishonest. Tucker personally anoints this one guy as speaking for everyone who supports Ukraine, because he know that one guy's motivations would spark utrage in Tucker's target audience. Mission accomplished on that point, it seems.
And then, he rips apart this one guy, and by extension everyone who supports Ukraine because they all want to destroy an Orthodox Christian country. Because that's what motivates all of us, doncha know.
Tucker is too smart a guy to not know exactly what he is doing here, which just makes it that much worse. It is ridiculous, fraudulent, and insulting to the tens of millions of other people who support Ukraine for reasons that have nothing to do with LGBTQ crap in either Ukraine or Russia. But Tucker does it because it advances his own agenda against supporting Ukraine, and provides red meat to his target audience to boost his ratings.
He is a despicably dishonest commentator.
Raskins may be a lunatic, but Ukraine is a Christian country.
Putin is employing muslim fighters to kill Christians.
No one is planning to destroy Russia so yeah Tucker is way wrong.
Putin isn’t trying to preserve Christianity. Not even close.
Doesn’t Russia have a right to its own values and culture? However the war in Ukraine turns out, that right does not change, whether a putz from Maryland likes it or not. Ukrainian Orthodox and Catholics should be on the side of Russia on the issues about which Raskin wants to wage actual war. Are they?
The only war of aggression in Ukraine is by Russia.
Try opening a Baptist church in Russia and then get back to me about the glories of their state-sponsored and state-imposed Orthodox church.
