Summary

Tucker Carlsonā€™s recent interview with Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov in Moscow has sparked speculation from Kremlin insiders that Carlson may be serving as a secret back-channel between Vladimir Putin and Donald Trump.

Carlsonā€™s questioning aligned with Kremlin narratives, urging the U.S. to withdraw support for Ukraine to avoid nuclear conflict.

Russian state media figures suggested Carlsonā€™s visit could involve delivering messages about potential negotiations between Putin and Trump.

Carlsonā€™s interview was criticized for failing to challenge Lavrovā€™s denials of war crimes and misrepresentations of Russiaā€™s role in the Ukraine conflict.

    So just curious, if thereā€™s actual treason occurring by our officially elected president with a foreign adversary, who fixes this? The military? Or what? Seriously curious.

      We literally saw this during the Jan 6 insurrection.

      Nobody fixes it and the military just wait for orders from the winner.

      Before the inauguration, Iā€™m pretty sure itā€™s basically on Biden via some sort of official act (I could be wrong about this, I am not a constitutional scholar). After the inauguration, itā€™s on Congress and boy do I have bad news for ya there.

      Itā€™s supposed to be Congress via impeachment. Then the DOJ with prosecution.

      Well but who decides that theyā€™re our adversary, if not things like the president and the state department and other elements of the executive? Congress could put up a stink, but they certainly havenā€™t yet and theyā€™re even more tilted in trumps favor right now. The president also commands the military, so Trump could literally just say, weā€™re friends with Russia now and we are turning our back on NATO and Ukraine and that would now be the paradigm. Kinda fucks my brain over but honestly whoā€™s a friend and whoā€™s an enemy is something very fluid and can simply changeā€¦
