America must recognize the limits of its power or face dire consequences, the conservative commentator has warned.
American policymakers are too arrogant to acknowledge that they have “lost a war with Russia” over Ukraine, US journalist Tucker Carlson has said.
Russian officials view the Ukraine conflict as a NATO proxy war, a sentiment that some Western politicians, including US Secretary of State Marco Rubio and former British Prime Minister Boris Johnson, have openly endorsed.
In an interview with Alex Jones published on Wednesday, Carlson accused those perpetuating the hostilities of ignoring that Russia has emerged victorious.
”We just lost a war with Russia,” the former Fox News host declared. “The US was running that war – the US military, the Pentagon, State Department, CIA – running the war against Russia. It was not… was never about Ukraine.”
Carlson expressed concern that “nobody will say that out loud – that we’re overstating our power.” He compared the US to a divorced 60-year-old man trying to attract a 25-year-old woman, unaware of how absurd and humiliating he seems.
“That’s called hubris and that’s how empires get destroyed and populations vaporized,” Carlson warned. “Maybe we should readjust our expectations a little bit.”
In the discussion, Jones contended that many advocating for unconditional support of Kiev are “militarily ignorant,” referencing actor Sean Penn’s dismissal of nuclear escalation risks with Russia and highlighting that the concept of major nuclear conflict is termed ‘Mutually Assured Destruction’ for good reason.
In response, Carlson mentioned a Pentagon assessment which suggested that at one point, the risk of the Ukraine conflict escalating to nuclear war reached 50%, asserting that any policymaker comfortable with such odds belongs “in prison for the criminally insane.”
Senior Russian officials, including President Vladimir Putin, have openly stated that Moscow will use all tools at its disposal against what it views as an existential threat. Ukraine and its Western allies have dismissed the Russian leader’s remarks as “nuclear blackmail.”
