American journalist Tucker Carlson, known for his pro-Russian views, said that the administration of former US President Joe Biden planned to eliminate Russian President Vladimir Putin, IZ writes with reference to hromadske. This statement was made during his podcast, where he discussed national security issues with his guest, journalist Matt Tabby.
Carlson expressed his belief that key figures in the administration, including former Secretary of State Anthony Blinken, sought to start a full-scale war with Russia. He also accused the heads of the intelligence services of the Obama administration of hiding important information and called them “criminals.” According to Carlson, such plans are dangerous, since Putin's death could lead to chaos in Russia, which, in turn, would create a threat due to an uncontrolled nuclear arsenal.
Tucker Carlson, who left Fox News in 2023, regularly publishes statements that often repeat Russian propaganda narratives. Previously, he accused NATO of provoking the war, justified Russian aggression and called the invasion of Ukraine a “border dispute”. In June 2023, he accused Ukraine, without evidence, of blowing up the Kakhovka hydroelectric power station, which caused a significant resonance.
Later, the journalist interviewed Vladimir Putin, where the Russian leader repeated his narratives about the war. Despite criticism of Carlson for his pro-Russian rhetoric, he remains an influential figure in right-wing US political circles, and Donald Trump even considered him as a potential vice president during his election campaign.
