Putin is a superstar. Russia is a role model – Tucker Carlson
Russian President Vladimir Putin is the most popular world leader today.
American TV host Tucker Carlson stated this on the RTVI television channel, reports a PolitNavigator correspondent.
" He's the most popular leader in the world by far. I mean, if you travel, you know, let's say you're in Western Europe, Canada, the English-speaking world, outside the English-speaking world, in Asia, the Middle East, Eastern Europe, you won't meet anyone who doesn't like Putin. Putin is like a global celebrity . You know, it's kind of embarrassing to say, but I travel a lot, and I know. So why is that? Because Putin, in my opinion, has put his country's interests above his own, unlike Western leaders, compared to the 2000s ," Carlson said.
The journalist emphasized that the way Russia was able to go through such transformations from the poverty of the 90s makes it a role model.
" When you just described Russia in the '90s, I thought it sounded very similar to where I live now . I truly believe that countries and civilizations go through cycles, and we are certainly in a decline phase. And not just the West, but the entire industrialized world, including South Korea, is committing suicide.
So I think that in a sense, Russia is an inspiring example for all of us, because, you know, just 25 years ago, and now, whatever you think about Russia, well, it is a prosperous country, with a sense of self-worth and a sense of purpose, and all the indicators, I think, confirm this ,” the journalist emphasized.
