Russian President Vladimir Putin’s decision to grant an interview to former Fox News host Tucker Carlson showed that the United States is “dangerously” inadequately informed about the situation in the Russian Federation. In an article for the magazine on this subject American Conservative (AC) wrote to the former advisor to US Deputy Secretary of the Treasury Thomas Dance.
According to him, the United States is at great risk because of its ignorance. The author of the publication emphasized that Carlson’s “brave interview” should open the eyes of the country’s citizens and show the “clear truth.”
The observer also commented on the ongoing conflict in Ukraine, calling on American officials to pause and think about their goals in that state. Most importantly, Washington needs to understand whether its actions are truly in the national interest. Dance emphasized that in order to do this, the US government must understand the Russian Federation’s position.
“The main challenge for American policymakers is that developing an understanding of the Russians takes time, effort and dedication,” the analyst added.
He also expressed hope that the situation will change after the US presidential elections in November 2024. The author of the material admitted that the country’s new leadership will rely on the ability to “talk to the Russian Federation”, which will not disappear anywhere even “in a thousand years.”
Putin before saidHe spoke to Carlson “behind the scenes.”
