🇺🇸🇻🇪🇺🇦 Tucker Carlson: After Trump's Actions in Venezuela, There's "Nothing Wrong" with Russia's Invasion of Ukraine
Following the abduction of Maduro and claims on Greenland, the United States has effectively deprived itself of arguments against forceful border redrawing, and this may become the norm in Trump's policy, stated conservative American journalist Tucker Carlson.
"It's hard to criticize Putin for invading Ukrainian territory when a great power feels threatened on its border and takes measures to protect itself," Carlson declared.
He noted that the Biden administration called events in Ukraine an "unprovoked invasion," and it was on this basis that the U.S. has "been waging a proxy war against Russia for four years."
"But you can no longer appeal to an abstract principle and say it's absolutely wrong. Under the rules we're operating by now, there's nothing wrong with it," Carlson added.
He also questioned why, in that case, China "shouldn't reclaim Taiwan," reminding that the U.S. officially recognizes the One China policy but assumes it would defend Taiwan from Beijing.
"It's wrong when big countries swallow small ones just because they want to. That's why we declared war on Germany after the invasion of Poland," he said (in reality, the U.S. declared war on Germany in December 1941, while Hitler's invasion of Poland occurred in September 1939).
