Carlson's ugly defense of Vladimir Putin should be seen in the light of Fox's argument that no one should take him seriously.
The weapons: Ukraine is making use of weapons such as Javelin antitank missiles and Switchblade “kamikaze” drones, provided by the United States and other allies. The last independent newsletter in Russia suspended its operations. The moment underscored the degree to which battle lines have shifted, as Russia ramps up its campaign in Ukraine’s east. The only defense against it is informed knowledge of exactly what he’s up to. Carlson insisted that Ukraine was not a democracy but a “pure client state” of the U.S. government. That’s the problem, of course.
