minus-square@Zworf@beehaw.orglinkfedilink11•edit-29 months ago Anything else could have easily resulted in Carlson never coming home. Nah. Anything else would have resulted in him going home sans interview tape. Putin is not dumb enough to start another Khasoggi style incident. Carlson’s a total sycophant yeah but he wouldn’t be murdered. Putin just doesn’t have anything to gain by that.

That would effectively accomplish the same goal.
