To be clear here, I actively hate what Tucker does. He’s a symptom of a great sickness to society that causes more harm then anything else.
The only part of this that is Carlsons fault is that he took the interview and went to Russia. There’s no other way this would have played out when a reporter does an interview of Putin. Carlson was likely in that room with nothing but Russian agents who let him know exactly what was going to happen before the interview.
Anything else could have easily resulted in Carlson never coming home.
'Course, that wouldn’t stop the FSB from implying or outright threatening it, nor possibly iCarlson believing the death threats to be real especially given their track record of defenestration. That would effectively accomplish the same goal.

Nah. Anything else would have resulted in him going home sans interview tape. Putin is not dumb enough to start another Khasoggi style incident.
Carlson’s a total sycophant yeah but he wouldn’t be murdered. Putin just doesn’t have anything to gain by that.

Maybe they got kompromat on Tucker so there was never any worry? Or he’s just a useful tool for them, any definition of tool will do in this case.
The reason he took the interview doesn’t matter, that decision is his fault. Even if kompromat, he did something he wants to hide in that case.
But the moment the interview was announced, we should have been expecting this exact thing.
