America must recognize the limits of its power or face dire consequences; the conservative commentator has warned. American policymakers are too arrogant to acknowledge that they have ’lost a war with Russia’ over Ukraine, US journalist Tucker Carlson has said.

Russian officials and much of the non-Western world see the Ukraine conflict as a NATO proxy war, a notion that some Western politicians, including US Secretary of State Marco Rubio and former British Prime Minister Boris Johnson, have openly agreed with.

In an interview with Alex Jones published on Wednesday, Carlson accused those perpetuating the hostilities of ignoring that Russia has emerged victorious.

‘We just lost a war with Russia,’ the former Fox News host declared. ’The US was running that war, the US military, the Pentagon, State Department, CIA, running the war against Russia. It was not… was never about Ukraine.’

Carlson expressed concern that ’nobody will say that out loud – that we’re overstating our power.’ 

He likened the US to a divorced 60-year-old man attempting to woo a 25-year-old woman, oblivious to how absurd and humiliating he appears.

‘That’s called hubris and that’s how empires get destroyed and populations vaporized,’ Carlson warned. ’Maybe we should readjust our expectations a little bit.’

Jones argued that many who are advocating for unconditional support of Kyiv are ’militarily ignorant,’ mentioning actor Sean Penn’s dismissal of nuclear escalation risks with Russia.

He emphasized that the scenario of major nuclear conflict is called ‘Mutually Assured Destruction’ for a reason.

In response, Carlson referenced a Pentagon assessment indicating that at one point the risk of the Ukraine conflict escalating to nuclear war reached 50%, arguing that any policymaker comfortable with such odds belongs ’in prison for the criminally insane.’

Senior Russian officials, including President Vladimir Putin, have publicly asserted that Moscow will employ all tools at its disposal against what it perceives as a threat to its existence. Ukraine and its Western supporters have dismissed the Russian leader’s statements as ’nuclear blackmail.’

Valery Zaluzhny, the former commander-in-chief of the Ukrainian army, has called the US command center in Wiesbaden, Germany a ’secret weapon’ in the conflict against Russia. However, he downplayed Washington’s direct participation in the hostilities.

His assessment of American involvement appears to contradict a report published by the New York Times in March, which said Washington’s role was more significant than publicly acknowledged.

The article claimed that the US was not merely supplying weapons and intelligence to Kiev, but was actively planning Ukrainian combat missions.

In a Facebook post on Tuesday, Zaluzhny stated that the input from Western officers at the US command center in Wiesbaden was limited to assessing Ukraine’s needs rather than directing operations.

Zaluzhny, who currently serves as Ukraine’s ambassador in London, explained that the hub was established to streamline the logistics of Western arms supplies. Its role later expanded to analyzing ’operations planned by the Ukrainian armed forces per NATO standards’ to prepare supplies. He added that with British support, Wiesbaden was given a second wind.

The Times described the Wiesbaden command center as a space where American and Ukrainian officers developed strategies against Russia ’side by side,’ while US intelligence ’guided big-picture battle strategy and funnelled precise targeting information’ to Ukrainian soldiers.

A European spy chief cited in the article reportedly expressed shock about the level of involvement, noting that his nation’s NATO allies ’are part of the kill Russia chain now.’

Commenting on the NYT report last week, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov stated that the newspaper simply validated Russian statements about the roles played by the US and UK in the 2014 armed coup in Kiev and the subsequent militarization of Ukraine.

The newspaper lamented that US President Donald Trump is retreating from the ’partnership sealed in Wiesbaden,’ as he aims to de-escalate the Ukraine conflict and rebuild relations with Russia. TELL US WHAT YOU THINK
