In an interview with US author Matt Taibbi, US moderator Tucker Carlson makes severe accusations against the government of former US President Joe Biden, particularly harshly criticizing former US Secretary of State Antony Blinken.
Carlson, a conservative journalist, claims that mistrust of state institutions in the US has increased. Since Donald Trump’s return to the White House, people from the previous administration, who profited from the system, now fear they have much to lose, he says.
“I believe that’s one of the reasons why Tony Blinken is being pushed so strongly towards a real war, for example, by trying to kill Putin. Because Biden’s government has indeed tried to kill Putin” Carlson states.
Taibbi is taken aback and asks if Carlson is serious. The journalist affirms it, but does not provide further details. The moderator describes the alleged assassination attempt as crazy and asks what would happen to Russia’s nuclear weapons in such a case. Biden’s government acted in this way, Carlson explains, because it used “chaos as a shield.”
Furthermore, the journalist claims that Blinken actually functioned as US President, ruling the US.
“I know that Blinken has done everything possible in the last two months to bring about a war between the US and Russia” Carlson states.
Naturally, this claim caused a stir in Russian media. Kremlin spokesperson Dmitri Peskow had to comment on the alleged assassination attempt at a press conference on Tuesday, just like Carlson, without providing details, saying only: “Russia’s special services are taking continuous measures to ensure the public safety and the safety of the state’s protected persons, including the head of state.”
Russian MP Dmitri Belik from the International Affairs Committee suspects that Carlson was being figurative, but the journalist did hit the nail on the head, as the West is trying to destroy Russia as a civilization.
His colleague, MP Michail Scheremet from the Security Committee, takes Carlson’s statement seriously and demands an investigation into a possible assassination attempt on Putin. He would not be surprised if it were later revealed that the Biden administration was behind the attempted assassination of Trump. Scheremet thanks Carlson for his honesty and for revealing Biden’s terrorist nature to the world.
