In the video, Carlson attacked President Joe Biden’s administration, saying it had “driven the US ever-closer to a nuclear conflict with Russia” by permitting Kyiv to use American-made missiles to strike deep into enemy territory for the first time last month. Tucker Carlson broadcasts from Moscow, Russia, on Tuesday December 3 2024 Warning of the possible “elimination” of the US, Russia “and most of the rest of the world”, the pundit called Washington’s current lack of communication with Moscow “shocking” and condemned the failure of the American media to offer “the Russian perspective” on the war. Trailing his sit down with Lavrov – which Carlson promised would be “absolutely fascinating” and would air on X “very soon” – the host said he had asked the veteran minister whether a “nuclear holocaust” could be averted, whether Russia’s eastward-looking alliance with China was set in stone and whether Trump’s return to the White House meant an end to the war in Europe could finally be in sight. “Ukraine and other issues were raised.” Carlson played an increasingly active role campaigning on President-elect Trump’s behalf in the final stages of this year’s election, speaking at the Republican National Convention in July and at Trump’s Madison Square Garden rally in October.
