In a new interview, journalist and former Fox News program, Tucker Carlson, revealed a surprising claim about the alleged government efforts Joe Biden to get rid of the Russian president, Vladimir Putin. This statement suddenly triggered a variety of speculations in the midst of prolonged conflict between Russia and Ukraine.
Carlson said that several officials and former officials United States of America Feeling anxious about President Donald Trump’s plan to reveal various secret government documents. According to him, there was panic among the Washington political elite related to the impact of the policy.
“One of the reasons [mantan Menteri Luar Negeri] Antony Blinken was very encouraging involvement in war because they really tried to kill Putin, “Carlson said in an interview quoted by Russia Today. He also added that such actions were at great risk of global stability.
Although not providing concrete evidence of the allegation, Carlson highlighted the dangers of a scenario where Russian leadership experienced a vacuum. “Who will take over Russia if Putin doesn’t exist? What will happen with their nuclear weapons? This is something that is really crazy to think about, “he added.
So far, the United States government has never recognized such a plan. However, a report from Newsweek in September 2022 had revealed that US defense officials had discussed the option to “beheaded attacks” in response if Russia used nuclear weapons in Ukraine.
On the other hand, Russia has repeatedly confirmed that they have no plans to use nuclear weapons in this conflict. Russian Foreign Minister, Sergey Lavrov, even interprets the term “attacking attack” as a direct threat to the leader of his country. “If this is really considered, those involved should think carefully about the consequences,” Lavrov said.
Russia itself has also accused the attempt to kill Putin. In May 2023, Kremlin claimed to have thwarted a drone attack called an attempt to murder their leader. However, Ukraine denied his involvement, while the US confirmed that they did not know the plans of the attack.
Carlson, who had previously interviewed Putin in February 2024, returned to visit Russia in December the same year to meet with Lavrov. His statement this time again heats the debate about how in US involvement in global geopolitical conflicts.
Apart from the truth of this claim, Carlson’s statement is certainly a hot topic in the world of politics and international security. Is this just a conspiracy theory or really there is a hidden agenda? The public is now looking forward to further clarification from related parties.
