“It is wrong when larger countries swallow smaller countries just because they want to. That is why we declared war on Germany when it invaded Poland. Strangely enough, we did not declare war on the Soviet Union when it did the same on the same day” – this is a fragment of Tucker Carlson's statement, to which the Polish Minister of Foreign Affairs referred.

“The United States did not declare war on Germany when Hitler attacked Poland. Likewise, Russia attacked Ukraine, not the other way around. My suggestion: facts first, opinions later,” wrote Radosław Sikorski.
It is also worth recalling that the attack of the Soviet Union on Poland did not occur on the same day as the invasion of Nazi Germany (September 1), but several days later – on September 17.
Tucker Carlson has turned his back on Trump. The controversial publicist was previously criticized for his interviews with Putin
Tucker Carlson is a former Fox News star turned influential podcaster who is often criticized for repeating the Kremlin's narrative. From the beginning of Russia's invasion of Ukraine, he criticized American support for Kiev. He repeated the Russian propaganda claims about NATO “provoking” Russia and the alleged coup d'état organized by the US in Kiev in 2014.
In 2024, he interviewed Vladimir Putin in Moscow.
Carlson, who for years was one of the leading figures of the MAGA movement and supported Donald Trump, especially his conspiracy theories, has recently begun to sharply criticize Republicans. He also opposed US actions in Venezuela.
In recent weeks, Carlson has also been criticized for interviewing Nick Fuentes, a far-right, anti-Semitic commentator who became famous for his recent praise of Adolf Hitler.
