Tucker Carlson, in a video from Moscow, has highlighted the United States’ increasing involvement in the Russia-Ukraine war, warning that it has brought the world closer to nuclear conflict. He pointed to President Joe Biden’s recent policies as a key driver of this dangerous escalation.
Carlson referenced Biden’s November authorization of U.S.-supplied missiles for Ukraine, which were used to strike Russian targets. “American military personnel launched missiles into mainland Russia and killed at least a dozen Russian soldiers,” Carlson said. “We are closer to nuclear war than ever before.”
He also raised concerns about the lack of U.S.-Russia communication, claiming that Secretary of State Antony Blinken had cut off all contact between the two governments. Carlson emphasized the risks this posed, stating there is no mechanism in place to prevent the conflict from spiraling further.
Carlson accused the U.S. government of restricting access to alternative perspectives on the conflict. He cited his experience with attempts to interview Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, claiming the American embassy blocked the effort to control public perception.
The Biden administration’s actions have intensified concerns about nuclear escalation, with Russian President Vladimir Putin issuing warnings of potential retaliation. Despite these risks, U.S. officials have maintained that the conflict does not pose an increased nuclear threat.
Carlson’s remarks draw attention to the gravity of the situation and the urgent need for diplomatic efforts to reduce tensions and prevent catastrophic consequences.
