Is it amazing how the right can cheer lead for Russian aggression and Putin while also saying that Biden is weak for not opposing the Russian aggression that the Putin fanboys gush over.

Tucker Carlson has backed Russia's argument that NATO enlargement was behind the current Ukraine crisis and accused the media of stoking tensions that could lead to an "incredibly destructive war with Russia."

In a segment on Tuesday, the Fox News anchor introduced a clip in which MSNBC host Joe Scarborough demanded the Biden administration speak "more clearly and more aggressively" against Russia as concerns grow over its build-up of more than 100,000 troops on Ukraine's border.

After the clip, Carlson mocked Scarborough, saying that "people that do that should not have TV shows and they certainly shouldn't be weighing in on adult topics like war and peace, but they are."

"So you have to ask yourself, why is this happening? Why are the Russians so upset? Why are we moving towards some kind of conflict?" Carlson said.
