American journalist Tucker Carlson, in a podcast interview, criticized Putin's claim that Russia's invasion of Ukraine is necessary for "denazification". Carlson called it "the dumbest thing" he's ever heard and believes Putin uses the term "Nazi" simply to demonize Ukrainians.

"Weapons of mass destruction” was the dumbest reason anyone ever used to justify the invasion of a sovereign country.

When did that happen ?

It certainly wasn't Iraq, that started in 1991.

that the United States needs to stay out of

they are, no American troops are fighting

US is merely sending weapons, same as Iran and NK do for Russia

[ifinnegan]

It’s true.

It is ludicrous.

1991 was even worse than 2003. The only difference is that nobody wanted to say publicly what the real reason for the U.S. military campaign was: protecting Islamic royal families in the Middle East who also happened to be investment partners of the Bush family.

I was against the covid jab before the trump “ interview”… yes Tucker revealed a lot about himself by the democrat style softball interview.
I did watch the Putin interview.. Putin claims the west didn’t keep their end of the bargain… I feel the same way after covid lockdowns and mask mandates went th a republican at the helm.

My understanding is that Tucker is with Mearsheimer on this and that Russia's main motivation is not de-Nazification but creating a neutral buffer between NATO and Russia.

Just because Tucker says that one reason is stupid, doesn't mean he thinks Russia had no rationale for going into Ukraine.

So is Tucker now “globohomo”?

[HollyB]

So?

“Russia’s main motivation is not de-Nazification but creating a neutral buffer between NATO and Russia”

I do not agree but that reason could be argued.

The “nazis” stuff is just ridiculous nonsense that Tucker has the good sense to not drink that kool-aid.

[Timber Rattler]

Apparently so!

[Alas Babylon!]

Yeah, back when he wore that bowtie.

[Berlin_Freeper]

Read a book.
Any book.

I knew that comment was from you even before I saw who posted it. You are always off topic and out of context.

“Ukraine through its history had pro Czar/anti-Czar,pro Nazi/anti-Nazi, pro Stalin/ anti-Stalin and pro Russia/ anti-Russia.”

Context is everything and context can explain the differences.

[Alberta's Child]

Uh … whut?

[McGruff]

The dumbest thing I've ever heard Tucker Carlson say. Anyone can do an Internet search for Ukraine Neo-Nazi.

[JudyinCanada]

Lara Logan agrees and has reported on the Azov nazi division in Ukraine. I trust Lara Logan.

[Magic Fingers]

Few are “pro-Kremlin.” We’re only opposed to the U.S. funding foreign nations and foreign wars.
I admire Tucker for both praising and condemning Putin, however each situation merits. It’s called being a rational human being rather than a blind partisan.

Agree on all points.

This article isn’t about the American Indians so you’re using the classic trick of changing the subject about what’s really going on in the world today.

[one guy in new jersey]

It is a weak justification.

The true motivation for the invasion was not de-nazification, but re-russification.
