Tucker Carlson isn’t the only Right Wing talking head who panders to Russian propaganda figures. Alex Jones was eager to smear the USA and blame America for the conflict in Ukraine, when he was interviewed by Russian Propagandist Vladimir Solovyov for his Russian TV show Full Contact.

His interview with Solovyov is another example of how the Russian propaganda machine exploits the views of U.S. commentators and conspiracy theorists to further its narrative around the war in Ukraine.
He accused "oligarchs" like "Klaus Schwab and Bill Gates" of being in control of the country. In a series of outlandish comments, he claimed they are "arresting everybody" and that "our country is captured."
"They are so used to wielding American power, of the country they've hijacked, like hijackers who take over an airplane," Jones said. "They're flying the American airplane into the building—like 9/11—that is Russia. And so I'm trying to stop that."
He said "we have to tell the truth about what's happening in Ukraine, even if it gets us killed, because the globalists are insane, mentally [sic] degenerates."
Solovyov said Jones reminds him of the "best years of Rush Limbaugh, with your temper, with your energy, and with your willingness to tell the truth."
Of course Rush Limbaugh rarely told the truth on his putrid radio show. Much like Alec Jones does on his radio show. Much like Vladimir Solovyov does on Russian TV.
