From hawk to puppet: Tucker Carlson's dangerous reversal on China

Tucker Carlson once branded himself a "China hawk," casting the CCP as a threat to middle America. In an interview with The Economist on March 20, Carlson advocated abandoning Taiwan, arguing that the US has hit its limits and should “share power” with Beijing.

He proposes a fundamental disruption to the established peace and stability that has characterized the Pacific since World War II. He promotes an insidious trap of skepticism. Americans and Taiwanese should provide a clear-eyed, factual response to Tucker’s skepticism.

This growing doubt is not an accident. It is a result of a sophisticated cognitive warfare campaign designed to break our most important democratic alliances by twisting small truths into weapons of mass confusion.

It is striking that Carlson's new arguments sound eerily like CCP propaganda. When he frames China’s ambitions as a natural “sphere of influence,” like a modern Monroe Doctrine, he is putting a respectable, Western-sounding voice to Beijing’s “one China principle.”

Tucker has been well trained in Russia in the Krasnov school? The China "switch" is just another clue that the grand scheme of empires of "great" influence dominate all smaller concerns. The Unholy Eastern Empire of Putin, the communist China Emperor, and the Clown King of all the Americas(who has to be treated carefully and fuzzily because he is a tool to destroy US dominance anywhere.) Which makes him an agent outside even Trumpian interests. And gives him a pivoting career as long as imperial pretensions exist.
