Tucker Carlson: "The Lightly Populated Russian Colony of Ukraine..."

I really wish I could say I was making this up.

I am not making this up.

Tucker: As they used to say when we were kids growing up, what’s good for the lightly populated Russian colony of Ukraine is good for us

For the record, Ukraine has over 43 million people living in it. That's the seventh highest population in all of Europe. (Sixth highest if you discount Russia which spans both Europe and Asia). That's more than the current population of California.

Ukraine is also a nation that dates its history back to the 10th Century, predating the founding of the Russian Empire, and has been its own independent nation since 1991.

What the fuck is wrong with that man?

No, seriously--what the fuck is wrong with him?

What sort of dirt or kompromat could he possibly have on him, because that seems to be the only possible explanation at this point. Unless he's just a mega-troll...

One of the reasons TFP is so hot to be Pres again is he had a deal with Putin. (of course) Putin was to have Ukraine and the US would not interfere. So now Putin has to work alone with Biden opposed to him with the bulk of the US behind him. Not to mention a lot of Europe.
Now it's put up or shut up time for Putin and all the former guys henchmen are spouting pro Russia stupidity. I have no clue what Putin is going to do but he does have a real big problem with Biden. This is a watch and see time, but not with popcorn and wine. I remember the Cuba thing in the 50's. It was a nail biter and this may be also.

As RM says ... " watch this space"

To see how much he is getting from Russia. If he is spreading false information because of payment from a foreign power, wouldn't that be illegal?

I don't think he has any other motivation.

The Ukrainian famine—known as the Holodomor, a combination of the Ukrainian words for “starvation” and “to inflict death”—by one estimate claimed the lives of 3.9 million people, about 13 percent of the population. And, unlike other famines in history caused by blight or drought, this was caused when a dictator wanted both to replace Ukraine’s small farms with state-run collectives and punish independence-minded Ukrainians who posed a threat to his totalitarian authority.
