I understand that what Tucker Carlson is saying, but he is a bit wrong in most of what he is saying in regards to Ukraine or somewhat defending Russia. Like a broken clock is right twice a day, sometimes a good clock can get something wrong.
What Russia is doing is the same exact thing it has done prior and during WWII and in the cold war. The Finnish know it, all the eastern European countries know it. They have experienced genocide at the hands of Russians in the past. In summary, what Russia is doing now is not really out character for them, and it is very much expected.
I have said in the past, more than a decade ago , that Russia is not a very good guy. Holodomor is the biggest example.

I don't think that's a fair comment. This situation is not as simple as the media makes it out to be. It's many shades of gray rather than black and white.
I made a post as an attempt at explaining that, while we were all panicking over a glorified flu from a woman's laboratory, Ukraine was signing shady deals to try and backdoor into NATO.
We also know Ukraine are hiding weapons under civilian areas in the hope Russia will hit them, because they just arrested someone for sharing that information.
We know Zelensky has banned all opposition parties and now has the "unified media" that answers directly to him like a wannabe Hitler.
There's a lot about Ukraine that doesn't fit in the little narrative that's being pushed.
Russia has done the banning of media and control most of them for years. Ukraine for the most part, banning the other political parties is very understandable as they in war with a country some of those parties liked or tangiall supported. I would even support and understand if America was invaded by China and the Republicans banned the democrats.
Russia has not changed a single bit. Even their tactics, albeit modernized a bit, still reflect their pre wwii mentality. Where they don't value human life. They have little to no rescue, little to no desire to recover their dead or injured, they have also shown no desire to protect civilians for the most part. Their soldiers are all very expendable. Their lives are cheap. You can see on their lack of training, low morale, bad to horrendous supply chain, to low communications(they even had to use people's cellphone to send orders to their soldiers back during Georgia's invasion).
Defending Russia is akin to what I have been saying before, to jump a cliff while the ctrl-left decides not to jump.
The msm is not our friend and we shouldn't trust them, but one should trust FAR Less the media coming from Russia, as almost all of them are government controlled and propaganda. Plus, no protests, you can't even say that this invasion is a war. And any journalist out of line or a person steps out of what the Kremlin says they are jailed and! Or fined.

Because Ukrainians will gladly take such a cheap shot. Their entire tactic in this war has been cheap shots.
They have also shown no desire to protect civilians for the most part
Neither has Ukraine, they've been stashing weapons in residential areas and they've been hiding behind children to try and slow down Russian advances. (something that was particularly common in Mariupol, to the point that Russian troops immediately shot upwards into the floor above once they encountered children, because the Ukrainian army were always trying to ambush them from the next floor while they moved the children out of the building)

Your mistake is believing that the US media isn't also government controlled. They literally worked with the government to "verify" the Steele dossier.
You can say Russia is bad, I don't disagree. Bachelor taxes are coming when the war is over, a real slap in the face to all the men who fought.
The problem I have is that support for Ukraine is universal among my enemy, and just from that I know they are guilty of great evil, which maybe the true extent of which hasn't been revealed yet.

Well, Ukraine is truly guilty of great evil, it tried to get away from it's big abusive neighbour. Given your picture of the other side of Ukraine, it definitely qualifies in your worldview.
