Endorsements from Russia aren’t as good as some seem to think those are.
I am assuming these are confidential quotes but who knows. I do have to ask, are you saying common individual Russians are not very honest and/or stupid? Do you feel the same way about Jews? Blacks?
Stop being an idiot.
Does anybody really think that any significant proportion of ordinary Russian citizens even know who Tucker Carlson is?
How many Americans walking down the street in Washington DC do you think would know the name of a Russian TV journalist and be able to comment on what that person said on an ongoing basis? How much would value would you place in a series of interviews filmed in the USA where supposedly ordinary Americans (a) watched a TV news show in Russian and (b) had an opinion about the host of the show?
Russian propaganda is crude, they don't even bother to explain the obviously fake set up.
