I find the pro-russia youtube comments to be quite concerning. I did not think people in Australia actually supported Vladmir Putin. In saying that I cannot wait to see how Carlson will manage to frame a large country with powerful military and a corrupt leader as being the good guys invading a smaller poorer country over the result of a democratic election.

I think the pro-Russian propaganda line has been that Ukraine attacked Russia first, at least that's what Jackson Hinkle said the last time I checked (shudders)

But why do these people love Russia so much. Are they massive Tetris fans? Or are they just trying to get out of giving money to Ukraine?

It is propaganda all the way down.

Most internet media folks are literally just grifters. Jackson Hinkle has flipped positions on the Russia-Ukraine conflict a dozen times.

For Tucker I suspect that he agrees with Putin on most cultural issues, but probably disagrees slightly on his authoritarian practices. I don't watch him much tho so I don't know for sure.
