The answer to the first question is that Tucker Carlson by his own words and actions has demonstrated a friendly and accommodating tone towards the Putin regime. If i’m Putin then Tucker Carlson is the one i’d want to do the interview as he would be less likely to do any real pushback or fact checking before releasing the video.
The answer to the second question is harder to discern. “Why now?” I think that pressure is building on Putin back home to bring the Ukraine conflict to some kind of conclusion. I think he sees events in the middle east and American political dysfunction as an opportunity to push his agenda before things stalemate further. It is also likely that this might be another attempt to influence the upcoming presidential and congressional elections in November.
I’ve never been one to believe that the Trump organization colluded with the Russian government but to deny their involvement in our elections via propaganda and other methods is the equivalent of burying your head in the sand.
