Tucker Carlson Warns America: Biden Administration Committing 'The Most Evil Thing I've Ever Seen in My Lifetime'

The victorious presidential candidate in the 2024 election cycle vowed to pursue a "negotiated peace" between Russia and Ukraine.

Yet, just days later, the current administration disregarded this commitment by authorizing Ukrainian forces to deploy long-range missiles within Russian territory—a move that was promptly acted upon.

Tucker Carlson, once a prominent Fox News host and now a leading conservative voice on social media, described this decision as “the most evil thing I’ve ever seen in my lifetime.”

This remark came during a conversation on X with journalist Glenn Greenwald, a former co-founder of The Intercept and a prominent independent media figure from the left. The two discussed their shared concern over President Joe Biden’s post-election decision to allow Ukraine to utilize the Army Tactical Missile System (ATACMS) to strike targets within Russian borders.

According to The Wall Street Journal, these missiles might initially be aimed at the Kursk region, where Russia has stationed more than 50,000 troops, including approximately 10,000 soldiers from North Korea, in efforts to reclaim territory Ukraine captured earlier in the year.

While Secretary of State Antony Blinken briefly floated this possibility back in May, the administration refrained from acting on it, likely to avoid sparking a broader conflict. As the Journal noted in its November 18 article, “Biden administration officials were loath to greenlight the strikes until now for fear it could cross a red line for Russia and provoke a wider conflict.”

Predictably, the situation has escalated. CBS News reported that Ukrainian forces used the long-range missiles against a Russian military facility in the Bryansk region. In response, Russia launched “a barrage of missiles at Ukraine Thursday in its first major retaliation.” Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy claimed one of the Russian missiles was an intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM), a particularly alarming development.

Carlson and Greenwald, both outspoken critics of NATO’s involvement in the conflict, expressed grave concerns about these developments.

“I think we’re watching the most evil thing I’ve ever seen in my lifetime,” Carlson stated. “The lame-duck administration [is] leaving the next administration with a world war, with a nuclear conflict, by allowing Ukraine — a proxy state of the United States — to strike within Russia.”

Carlson emphasized his belief that “people in Washington misunderstand Vladimir Putin.” He argued that Putin’s grip on power is more precarious than often portrayed, which makes this escalation especially perilous.

“Putin is very concerned with his approval rating in Russia. He cannot appear weak,” Carlson explained. “That’s a huge threat to him... If he can’t hide attacks by the United States through Ukraine, either in Moscow or [with] big civilian casualties, I think he will have no choice, in his view, but to launch a serious response against Ukraine or some of NATO’s countries... So this seems like the most reckless thing that’s ever happened in my life.”

Greenwald echoed Carlson’s alarm, asserting that other NATO countries had long pushed Biden to authorize these strikes. However, the administration had previously resisted because such actions would require “direct involvement” from the U.S., including precise targeting data for the missiles.

The conversation also highlighted the broader implications of destabilizing Russia. Carlson and Greenwald noted that while Putin is often portrayed as a dictator ruling with an "iron fist," his actual control over the country is more fragile than assumed. For NATO strategists, this fragility might seem like an opportunity—but it’s a precarious gamble when dealing with a nuclear-armed state.

Despite these risks, the Biden administration has now chosen escalation. Critics argue this decision is aimed not only at undermining Donald Trump’s proposed peace efforts but also at setting off a chain reaction that could expand the conflict well beyond Ukraine and Russia.

Of course, this won’t be Biden’s concern after January 20, will it?
