Tucker Carlson named two reasons for the West's anger over Putin's policies

American journalist Tucker Carlson named two reasons for the West’s anger over the policies of Russian President Vladimir Putin. He told the RT television channel about this.

He cited the expulsion of billionaires from the country as the first reason. “As you know, the Soviet Union collapsed in 1991. <...> They are becoming stronger than the state. 26 years ago Putin comes and says: “No, this is not democracy. This is not a country with sovereignty,” the journalist noted.

In addition, the Russian leader’s attitude towards Orthodoxy was a “provocative step” from the point of view of Western countries, Carlson believes. According to him, in the West and especially in the United States, there is nothing that the elites hate more than traditional Christianity. “But because a person, of course, will be more faithful to God than to the state. So, by definition, this is a threat to the totalitarian goals of the leaders,” explained the channel’s interlocutor.
