Former Fox News host Tucker Carlson alleges the Biden administration is attempting to instigate a nuclear war with Russia before the Trump administration takes office.
In a recent YouTube interview with journalist Glenn Greenwald, Carlson accused the Biden administration of transforming the US into a fascist state. He condemned the provision of ATACMS missiles to Ukraine for use against Russian targets, calling it “the most evil thing I’ve ever seen in my lifetime.” He characterized the current administration as a “lame duck” actively seeking to “leave the next administration with a world war.”
Carlson asserted that the US, not Russia, is the true fascist state. He argued that allowing Ukraine, described as a US proxy, to strike Russian territory with long-range missiles risks triggering a nuclear war.
He described Washington’s actions as “reckless,” potentially forcing President Putin into a severe response against Ukraine, NATO members, or even the United States itself due to civilian casualties in Russia.
While the US hasn’t officially confirmed authorizing Ukraine to use Western long-range weapons against Russia, the Russian Defense Ministry claims ATACMS missiles have already been deployed against Bryansk Region.
President Putin stated in a televised address that six US-made missiles targeted Russian territory on Tuesday. He added that two days later, Ukraine launched British Storm Shadow and American HIMARS missiles at Bryansk and Kursk Regions, escalating the conflict to a global level.
Moscow considers this a clear escalation by the West, prompting Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov to urge Western leaders to review Russia’s updated nuclear doctrine.
President Putin recently announced revisions to Russia’s nuclear weapons policy, allowing for the use of weapons of mass destruction in response to aggression against Russia or Belarus by a non-nuclear state supported by a nuclear one. The doctrine could also be invoked if conventional attacks threaten their sovereignty or territorial integrity.
