Tucker Carlson Defends Putin, Says ‘Leadership Requires Killing’

This is no longer "being controversial to challenge the mainstream". This is now snuff film territory. Sorry.

Tucker Carlson had a curious defense of Vladimir Putin in his first interview since interviewing the Russian autocrat, saying “Every leader kills people, leadership requires killing.”
Carlson’s remarks were made at the 2024 World Government Summit in Dubai, where he was interviewed by Egyptian journalist Emad Eldin Adeeb.
Adeeb asked Carlson why he neglected to ask Putin about such pressing topics as the poisoning of Russian opposition leader Alexei Navalny. “I’m not going to lecture you, but you should challenge some ideas,” said Adeeb. “You did not talk about freedom of speech, you did not talk about Navlny…”
Carlson replied that other journalists had already posed such questions to Putin, adding, essentially, that it’s not news that Putin has ordered hits on his enemies. “Every leader kills people, leadership requires killing,” said the former Fox News anchor. (Carlson’s comments that “leadership requires killing” appear about 17 minutes into the 26-minute segment.)

Biden killed American soldiers and American citizens.

Who is the last president who wasn't responsible for killing people?

Obama ordered the murder of an American citizen.

This. And, arguably, Trump killed less ppl than any President since Carter.

I don’t find Tucker’s remarks controversial. They are actually true. The Ukraine First crowd wanted Tucker to argue and lecture Putin—you didn’t want an actual interview where people could get a sense of how Putin sees the world.

Ah yes, unlike the super peaceful American revolution in which no blood was shed.
Grow up.
Grow up.

So Putin is okay. I get it. We suck here in the totalitarian US.

This is why I wasn't interested in his interview. I knew he was trying to curry favor with a dictator. He likes strong men.
I know. I won't forget, the US sucks.

They arent. Not in the least. All leaders of governments have to be ready to kill or have killed.

What's the difference in any of this and Mao? Pol Pot?

What a brilliant response. Do you ever actually have thoughts on any matter?

Ask a specific question? I will answer. Really.

I don't like Tucker. He's incipient demagogic. I don't like Putin. He's awful regardless of how clean his cities are. If he has opposition he jails them. If the opposition lives in England his people salt their food with polonium.

Don't like Trump either. Three thoughts there. I don't follow you so I don't know how you think about these three things.

I know you’re being sarcastic, but 91 criminal indictments for a former president because he tweets mean things. Give me a break you moron. Obama spied on a conservative journalist and had his IRS illegally target conservative businesses. He illegally spied on Trump due to a fake dossier bought from a foreign spy by the DNC. We lock up protesters for getting guided tours through the capital and Kamala Harris is posting bail for violent mobs in 2020. This is now a fricking Banana republic.

I agree with everything but the moron part. 95% in agreement with you. I loathe Obama and Biden.
