Summary

Tucker Carlson’s recent interview with Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov in Moscow has sparked speculation from Kremlin insiders that Carlson may be serving as a secret back-channel between Vladimir Putin and Donald Trump.

Carlson’s questioning aligned with Kremlin narratives, urging the U.S. to withdraw support for Ukraine to avoid nuclear conflict.

Russian state media figures suggested Carlson’s visit could involve delivering messages about potential negotiations between Putin and Trump.

Carlson’s interview was criticized for failing to challenge Lavrov’s denials of war crimes and misrepresentations of Russia’s role in the Ukraine conflict.

    Secret?

    Also I’m surprised they’re even bothering with the pretense that Trump isn’t Putin’s bitch.

      Sounds like a tiny bit of good news. Secrecy implies they are concerned about intervention spoiling their plans. When they stop hiding shit we’re REALLY fucked.
