Polish Foreign Minister Radosław Sikorski has lashed out at U.S. commentator Tucker Carlson for suggesting that NATO and the U.S., not Russia, are to blame for the war in Ukraine.
Posting on X on Thursday, Sikorski wrote:
“Let me remind you that this is the favorite American commentator of our nationalists, the same one who was given an exclusive interview by President Andrzej Duda during his trip to the US. Servility is not always rewarded.”
Sikorski’s post was a direct response to comments Carlson made on Tuesday during a Q&A session at a Turning Point USA – the country’s largest youth conservative movement, previously fronted by the now deceased Charlie Kirk – conference.
When a Polish attendee asked whether he considered Russia the aggressor in the war which has been ongoing since 2014, Carlson rejected that idea, instead blaming NATO and U.S. President Joe Biden’s administration for escalating the conflict.
“I believe Ukraine is the victim here. NATO is the aggressor; NATO did this under Joe Biden’s leadership, and it’s crazy,” Carlson said. “Why doesn’t Poland go to war with Russia? If you’re so concerned, why don’t you defend Ukraine yourselves? Why am I paying for it?”
Carlson added that he did not believe the U.S. should be involved in the conflict.
“This is a regional issue. Why am I involved? Why are my children living under the shadow of a nuclear war unleashed to defend Ukraine’s sovereignty or to save Poland? I like Poland, I like Ukraine, but I’m an American. Not one dollar more! No. Fight yourselves, if it’s so important.”
Carlson has previously framed the war as a proxy conflict fueled by NATO expansion. In 2022, seven months after Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, he said that the purpose of the war was “a total regime change war in Russia.”
The commentator also drew criticism in 2024 when he interviewed Russian President Vladimir Putin, his first with a Western journalist since the invasion, in which the leader denied expansionist aims.
Like that other filthy liar; Candace Owens, Fucker Karlsonov has already proved that he is no different; in fact even worse, than the historical nazi shill William Joyce; aka Lord Haw-Haw and should end up the same way.
I wish I had a greater vocabulary to express my feelings. Unfortunately all I have is…Carlson is an inhuman vermin pond scum sucking POS with questionable intelligence. Go ahead Carlson feel free to stick your nose further up Trumps ass but unfortunately for you you’ll have competition from other low life.
