"Tucker Carlson confirmed the speculation that he traveled to Russia to interview President Vladimir Putin in a video he posted to X/Twitter from Moscow and offered a bit of a preview of what to expect.
"We're in Moscow tonight,” he began. “We're here to interview the President of Russia,Vladimir Putin. We'll be doing that soon. There are risks to conducting an interview like this, obviously. So we thought about it carefully over many months. Here's why we're doing it: first because it's our job. We're in journalism. Our duty is to inform people two years into a war that's reshaping the entire world."
"Most Americans are not informed,” Carlson continued. "They have no real idea what's happening in this region — here in Russia or 600 miles away in Ukraine — but they should know. They're paying for much of it in ways they might not fully yet perceive. The war in Ukraine is a human disaster. It's left hundreds of thousands of people dead."
Carlson then insisted that only hearing one side of the story — that which comes from Ukrainian president Volodymyr Zelensky, isn’t journalism; it’s propaganda — propaganda being used to justify the United States getting more deeply involved in the war and to pay for it, too.
"It is government propaganda, propaganda of the ugliest kind, the kind that kills people. At the same time, our politicians and media outlets have been doing this — promoting a foreign leader like he's a new consumer brand — not a single Western journalist is bothered to interview the president of the other country involved in this conflict. Vladimir Putin,” he said." PJM

"The United States and Britain struck 36 Houthi targets in Yemen in a second wave of assaults meant to further disable Iran-backed groups that have relentlessly attacked American and international interests in the wake of the Israel-Hamas war.

The Houthi targets were in 13 different locations and were struck by U.S. F/A-18 fighter jets from the USS Dwight D. Eisenhower aircraft carrier, by British Typhoon FGR4 fighter aircraft and by the Navy destroyers USS Gravely and the USS Carney firing Tomahawk missiles from the Red Sea, according to U.S. officials and the U.K. Defense Ministry.

"President Joe Biden issued an executive order that purports to target so-called “extremist settler violence” in the West Bank, but whose terms are so broad that they could be used to impose sanctions on Israeli elected leaders and political parties.
The order was issued as President Biden made a trip to Michigan, where Arab- and Muslim-American voters have threatened not to support him in the key swing state in the 2020 presidential election because of his perceived support for Israel against Hamas.
The order claims that there are “high levels” of violence directed by Jewish Israeli settlers against Palestinian residents of West Bank, known to Israelis as Judea and Samaria. In fact, such violence has not risen, and is dwarfed by violence by Palestinians." Breitbart
