Tucker Carlson

This is the biggest country on earth.

It's diverse.

It's got all kinds of ethnic groups that get along sort of, but like it could break apart and it's got the largest nuclear arsenal in the world.

Destabilizing Russia could be really dangerous for everybody.

Did that occur to them?

No.

Or if it did, if the government collapsed, whatever that meant, and we succeeded in killing Putin, which I know we've been trying to do on and off for a long time.

Like, what then?

What if there was a civil war, ethnic breakup of Russia?

Like, how is that good for the rest of the world?

It's terrible for Russia, but what about the rest of us?

It's not good for us either.

Chaos is not good.

So what's the motive of European leaders, of Macron and Stammer and Mertz in Western Europe and then the various Eastern European leaders?

Like, why are they monomaniacally focused on Putin?

So the idea is that the largest country in the world by landmass with the most resources on Earth

wants to capture overcrowded collapsing welfare states and like do what with them it's it's like so nuts like what would the motive be why would the russians want any of these maybe poland but even poland why would they want that well let me offer an alternative view as to why they wouldn't want it you just just that you just to the one that you just described

And they didn't enjoy it, actually.

So you fought in the Cold War.

You went to West Point.
