Putin interview with Tucker Carlson: Kremlin approaches Trump. "This co-production could be the most effective and toxic propaganda clip ever created," says Russia expert Janis Kluge.

"Carlson and Putin will work brilliantly together to reinforce the false narrative about Ukraine, weaken Biden and strengthen Putin," writes Kluge, a Berlin-based Russia analyst. Tucker Carlson, the conservative anchor with a history of fake "news," claimed - falsely - that prominent US newspapers and television networks have refused to interview Putin since his invasion of Ukraine.
