Fox host Carlson: Accusations of undermining Nord Stream were the biggest lie of the year
Accusations against Russia of undermining the export pipelines “Nord Stream” and “Nord-2” are the dumbest lie of the year, Fox News host Tucker Carlson said.
The journalist presented “his favorite examples of lies for 2022,” noting that there were “a lot of options.” “But we’ll start with perhaps the dumbest lie ever told: Vladimir Putin blew up his gas pipelines to Europe. By doing this, Putin hurt his own economy and weakened his strategic position in the midst of an armed conflict. He’s behind it anyway!” – Carlson sneered.
This is exactly what the U.S. media has been claiming “with a perfectly serious face,” he noted. He went on to show excerpts from a CNN broadcast in which the hosts and invited guests, including former CIA director John Brennan, blamed Moscow for the bombing of the pipelines.
“We can only laugh at this, what other options are there? But at least in one thing John Brennan can be trusted: if John Brennan says something, it means something completely opposite is likely to be true. This case is no exception. No, Russia did not blow up its own pipelines.
At the same time, Carlson said that the undermining of North Streams is “the work of the Biden administration,” which “they signed up for.”
