Well, given that Navalny was likely a CIA paid operative set to overthrow Putin, I don’t much blame Putin for “Epsteining’ him. So, If tucker actually said that Putin didn’t order it, he could be wrong.
No need for him to order it. They all knew he was somebody’s cutout. A labor camp— lovely Stalinist honoring ‘tradition’.
Anything anyone says, including the WaPo or NYT that they KNOW, is an opinion. It is the same with Tucker.
