Tucker Carlson has confirmed he is in Moscow to interview Vladimir Putin - and he's doing it because 'Americans are not informed' about the war in Ukraine.
The former Fox News host announced on X on Tuesday that he would be publishing an interview with the Russian despot, following widespread speculation after he was pictured leaving the Kremlin in Moscow on Monday.
Carlson, 54, said the interview would air 'unedited' on his website, without a paywall, and on X, making him the first American to interview Putin since Russia invaded Ukraine in 2022.
'Two years into a war that's reshaping the entire world, most Americans are not informed,' the conservative commentator said of the conflict in Ukraine. 'They have no real idea what's happening in this region. But they should know, they're paying for much of it in ways they might not fully perceive.'

Yeah he is. And I like Tucker.
But Putin is a despot. End of discussion.
He, also, brushed off questions about Israel.
If anyone believes that Russia was "surprised" by the Oct t attack, I have a bridge to sell you.
Iranian and Hamas representatives were in Moscow 6 months, before.
Planning for the attack must have been completed and training ongoing.
There is no way Iran and Hamas would have done something of this magnitude and consequence without informing Putin and Lavrov and receiving their blessing.
“Maybe that is why you refer to people here as enemies.”
Freepers are not enemies. Freedom of thought and expression is for all on Free Republic.
People that attack me because of holding a differing political viewpoint are disregarding posting guidelines. I cannot control them & apparently they cannot control themselves.
What percent of Los Angeles county residents are native Spanish speakers? You seem to be advocating we cede that territory to Mexico due to the “native speakers” there. Interesting.
The Russian way of war is completely different from ours. US war planners don’t think like the Russians do.
Maybe you missed the part that makes clear he paid for the trip himself AND WILL NOT BE CHARGING TO SEE THE INTERVIEW!
Tucker long ago gave up any pretense of fact based journalism. He’s an entertainer who spoon feeds pablum to the weak minded and easily duped.
Yup Russia sure dodged a bullet when she didn’t perform anywhere in the country.
If you don't like FR so much you should get off it.
He’s widely recognized, no doubt about it; but not as a reporter.
Those questions, Frick (Mrs. Frack); I’m still waiting for your answers.
Carlson needs to watch his step. He could end up in a Russian prison, and the Xiden administration would do nothing for him.
You’ve gotten nothing but the enemies’ lies since 2022. Your enemy is the illegitimate gang of warmongers in the White House. The DC Uniparty is your threat not Hillary’s Russia, Russia, Russia deliriums. I remind you, Russia never attacked us or NATO.
totally agree re Zeepers. I really look forward to Putin interview.
And btw, I detest that little creep Zelensky and hate all countries and politicians funding his side of the war. Including the idiot Biden dems.
Everything is so corrupt it’s almost ridiculous to watch news or even freep any moor. The uniparty bullschtein rolls on daily and there’s not a thing we can do about it, considering institutionalized vote stealing.
He’s safe there. The only danger he faces is from the US Junta in DC and from Kiev. DC would unleash lawfare against him, Kiev will murder him if they get the chance. I think they even have him on their hit list.
Regarding virtually every choice presented by human beings, the binary choices are nearly always the wrong choices.
“I think they even have him on their hit list.”
We could probably find out from their fan club here.
I’ll repeat; Tucker is about to become the most famous reporter in American 🇺🇸 history.
All the Zeepers have are insults. I have one too. REMFs.
The only truly communist state left is North Korea.
If I had to rank nations by level of communism in their government I would start with NK. Then several orders of magnitude from that the PRC. It’s really no longer a communist state, it allows private property & private business concerns all under a heavy authoritarian thumb, but still, they are allowed. Actually, the PRC is really a nazi state. It genuflects to socialism but it has growing influential racial ideology. You should read some of the speeches by their military & party hacks. They could have been written by the most virulent antisemitic. Just substitute Han for Aryan.
Again moving several orders of magnitude away from China even more so from North Korea is Russia. Russia is not a communist state; not the USSR at all. If it’s anything it’s a return to old Imperial Russia without the glitz. It allows private property & businesses all under a authoritarian thumb like China. It’s an authoritarian state like in the days of the Czars but with strong kleptocratic elements. Putin wants his legacy to be the man who restored the imperial borders. Also motivated by the the Orthodox mystical notion of Moscow being the third Rome restoring Ukraine to its Slavic family. That’s the total motivation for his Ukraine adventure. That doesn’t make Russia our friend or necessarily our enemy. It’s really more of a European problem then our problem. It’s almost a return to the pre-WWI days. Anyway we don’t need to look for enemies particularly with our current utterly clueless incompetent leadership.
Our problem is our borders & China!
