Tucker Carlson Says Moscow is ‘So Much Nicer’ Than Any City in the United States

Tucker Carlson described visiting Moscow to interview Russian President Vladimir Putin “radicalizing,” calling the city much “prettier” than any in the United States.

Following his interview with Putin last week, Carlson praised the city of Moscow while speaking at the World Governments Summit in Dubai. He called his visit “shocking” and “disturbing.”

“It is so much nicer than any city in my country. I had no idea. My father spent a lot of time there in the ’80s when he worked for the U.S. government and they barely had electricity,” Carlson said. “And now it is so much cleaner and safer and prettier, aesthetically, its architecture, its food, its service, than any city in the United States that you have to — and this is not ideological — how did that happen? How did that happen?”

Carlson named Tokyo and several other cities as “wonderful places to live” that would likely surprise Americans.

“At a certain point,

I don’t think the average person cares as much about abstractions as the concrete reality of his life,” the former Fox News host said. “And if you can’t use your subway, for example, as many people are afraid to in New York City because it’s too dangerous, you have to sort of wonder, isn’t that ultimate measure of leadership?”

Carlson also claimed Putin wants to “get out” of his war with Ukraine and will be seeking a “compromise” with the country his military invaded. The pundit’s interview with the Russian leader earned loud pushback from many of his media colleagues.

“First things first, Putin wants to get out of this war. Russia’s industrial potential is a lot more profound than we thought it was,” he said.
