Tucker Carlson has claimed the United States 'hates' Russia because 'it's a Christian country' - amid claims in Moscow that he's trying to land an interview with Vladimir Putin.
The former Fox News star told MCC Feszt, a social, political and cultural festival in Hungary, that Russia is like Hungary in that both are nations 'built on Christian precepts'.
'That is enough to incite our policy makers in the United States and that is exactly why they hate Russia,' he said.
Carlson told the audience at the festival - which ran through the final weekend of July - that he is 'not a fan of Russia'.
He added: 'One thing that Russia and Hungary have in common is a big part of the population identify as Christians. Why would that be provocative?
'A huge part of Malaysians identify as Muslim. Fine with me. But it's not fine with Washington at all, it's deeply offensive to see that alive in Europe. And that is the core - it's not rational, this is happening on a gut level, but it is expressed through policy.'
Hungary, a member of both the European Union and NATO, has come under scrutiny from western leaders because of Prime Minister Viktor Orban's favorable approach to Russia and his reluctance to support military aid for Ukraine.

They hate Russia because they don’t force the globohomo agenda on their society.
The Donbas is majority ethnic Ukrainian and Russia has provided the liberation of the grave. Conscripts from the occupied areas are sent to slaughter. Those who resist conscription are ceremoniously maimed. The “Christian” occupiers include Chechens, Buryats, other Mohammedans, and convicts.
I’ve been to Russia and many of its neighbors. Cheating on ones partner and drinking alcohol are the national sports of Russia. And ice hockey, of course. The idea it is a piously Christian country is gut bustlingly funny to those with any experience there who carry no Russophile agenda. In fact it is the least Christian country I have visited in that part of the world.
Interestingly, Tucker never talks about a genuinely Christian country: Poland. Now why would that be? Could it be he has a gaslighting agenda and knows nearly all of his target audience has no general knowledge of the situation? That they will just believe whatever nonsense he shovels?
“Russia today is no more a Soviet nation than we are still a Constitutional Republic.”
Well said.
The problem with both Russia and the US is the political leadership.
“I don’t think the U.S. hates Russia,”
The United States of America’s policies demonstrate otherwise.
“and Russia is less a Christian country than the U.S.”
That used to be true, not anymore. The USA has become a atheistic neopagan fascist nation that even our so-called religious leaders embrace in the name of globalism.
“Too many people falk for globalist lies.”
That’s true.
Indeed, but as "the enemy of my enemy is my friend" (which is how the Soviets became super power against its former ally), then many here who rightly oppose the Left of the West see Putin as a virtuous rebel. As if FR itself would be tolerated under Him, which the Left here lusts to silence.
The United States of America’s policies demonstrate otherwise.
Which policies would that be? Biden partnering with Putin on new Iran nuke deal? Biden admin refusing to give Ukraine what it needs to win? Biden cancelling Trump’s Nordstream2 sanctions?
Don’t be duped. Democrats still love their Anti American friends in the Kremlin as they have for over century. They are natural allies because they have the same anti America agenda and goals.
When you look at who is in charge of our foreign policy and the media, you know that is largely the reason.
“Tucker is Episcopalian. “
I dated an Episcopalian once. He said he was “J. V. Catholic.”
FUNNY!!!
Tucker is just flat wrong, too. Russians are very transactional after centuries of brutalization by Tsars and commies. They have a very strong “sugar daddy” culture there. It’s called “sponsoring” and doesn’t have any negative connotation. Russian men tend to be hustlers always looking for an angle. If a guy doesn’t hussle in Russia he ends up on the bottom of the pile quick.
I’ve been to Russia and have many personal examples of the unchristian nature of Russia. But what’s the point in explaining to ears that won’t listen? Some folks want to live in a fantasy world and will believe any nonsense from Tucker’s mouth.
This is all a rhetorical game for Tucker. He’s playing sick game while thousands of people die in Russia’s latest colonialist war of choice. He couldn’t care less.
“Biden partnering with Putin on new Iran nuke deal?”
No, Biden incubating WWIII with a proxy Ukraine.
“Biden admin refusing to give Ukraine what it needs to win?”
Neither Russia no Ukraine will be allowed to end this war.
“Biden cancelling Trump’s Nordstream2 sanctions?”
No, Biden blowing up Nordstream pipelines.
“Don’t be duped.”
Likewise.
“Democrats still love their Anti American friends in the Kremlin as they have for over century.”
Democrats love their fascism, so do Republicans as is obvious by their being a UniParty.
“They are natural allies because they have the same anti America agenda and goals.”
Russia and the USA are not allies.
Yeah, it sounds more like 2 communist factions fighting it out, not which one is most Christian.
So Biden wants WW3? Interesting. I wonder what WW3 would do to his mansions in Delaware?
The reality is Democrats never cared about Ukraine. It’s a backwater issue. Not when Obama gave a green light on Crimea to Putin nor now when Biden does all he can to freeze the conflict by limiting aid to Ukraine.
What Democrats really want is to remove President Trump’s excellent Iran policy and replace it with Obama era regulations. They need Russia’s help to do that. So they’ll happily partner with Putin.
But do carry on with your WW3 scenario if it what makes you happy.
Americans dislike Russia because they have been told to since Stalin.
I have found the Russian people to be very smart,hard working and way more conservative than your average American.
My dad fought the Cold War designing weapons.
I only saw Russia from that viewpoint.
This all changed once I started dating a Russian woman 3 years ago.
As in the USA now, there is a huge difference between Russia leadership and the Russian people.
Tucker is right and when some American Christians stop dancing in the blood of innocent people, perhaps their image will improve.
.......
what the heck is this about?
What Tucker gets is the triangulation going on that the biden administration is doing to place itself between russia war fighting on the one side and republican resistance on the other side. Its a balancing act in which the biden/obama admin are playing two sides off against the middle. for obama it is about bringing down whitey.
Bottom line, Trump admires strongmen like Putin, and do does Tucker. There was a time Tucker voiced skepticism over Russia and its goals. Not do much anymore.
