Tucker Carlson's recent interview with Russian President Vladimir Putin, conducted on February 8, 2024, has generated significant attention, with a leaked fragment suggesting Putin believes Donald Trump will be the next U.S. president. The interview, which has been described as a courageous act of real journalism, has amassed 50 million views in under five hours on platform 𝕏, far surpassing Carlson's average Fox News viewership. Discussions in the interview included Russia's historical perspective, which is distinct from Western experiences due to the absence of events like the Renaissance and Enlightenment. Additionally, Putin reiterated Russia's support for a negotiated settlement with Ukraine, a claim that has been met with skepticism by some analysts who view it as part of a Kremlin disinformation campaign.
