    That’s pretty unlikely unless he’s doing a big pivot in his branding, he quite literally has said the US should team up with Russia to fight/oppose China.

    Carlson’s dissenting line on Ukraine policy has to be understood in light of his obsession with fighting China. As he outlined back in 2019, his dim view of Washington’s Russia strategy came from the fact that he viewed China, not Russia, as “our main enemy,” and that “the United States ought to be in a relationship with Russia aligned against China to the extent that we can.”

    He reiterated this point three years later: because “China is the preeminent threat to the United States,” and because it’s impossible “to engage meaningfully simultaneously in Europe and in Asia,” the US focus on Ukraine only “detracts from our attention to China,” while at the same time pushing Moscow “into an alliance of convenience of necessity with the Chinese government.”

      “the United States ought to be in a relationship with Russia aligned against China to the extent that we can”

      Sad to say I agree with the broken clock, as China is truly a bigger long-term threat… but never to the extent of appeasement or allowing Russia to invade other countries.

        That’s not a broken clock moment; you and Carlson have the same ideological goals on foreign policy (the maintenance of American dominance through force), you just disagree on strategy (whether Russia should be allowed into the club of “good guy” nations who are allowed to impose their will on other nations unilaterally.

          You realize the CCP are actually worse than Nazi Germany. Every single crime the Nazis committed, the CCP have done worse and likely at a large scale.
