Tucker Carlson has issued a stark warning about the United States’ escalating involvement in the Russia-Ukraine war, claiming recent actions by the Biden administration have significantly increased the risk of nuclear conflict. Speaking from Moscow, Carlson described the situation as unprecedented and deeply concerning.
Carlson pointed to President Joe Biden’s authorization for Ukraine to use U.S.-supplied missiles in strikes on Russian territory. He said these attacks, which reportedly resulted in Russian casualties, mark a dangerous new phase in the conflict. “We are closer to nuclear war than ever before,” Carlson said.
Carlson also raised concerns about the lack of dialogue between the U.S. and Russian governments. He accused Secretary of State Antony Blinken of cutting off all communication, stating, “There is no back channel. There hasn’t been for more than two years.”
Efforts to provide a broader perspective on the conflict have also been thwarted, Carlson alleged. He claimed the U.S. embassy in Kyiv intervened to block his team from interviewing Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, preventing American audiences from accessing alternative viewpoints.
The risks of escalation have only grown since Biden’s missile policy, with Russian President Vladimir Putin issuing warnings about potential retaliation. Despite these concerns, Carlson argued that most Americans remain unaware of the severity of the situation.
Carlson’s comments underscore the urgent need for diplomatic solutions to reduce tensions and prevent a conflict that could have devastating consequences for the entire world.
