We’re on the brink of world war that ends with nuclear weapons – Carlson to GU (EXCLUSIVE)

The conservative journalist spoke with Afshin Rattansi about what he called the “greatest betrayal in the history of American politics” Conservative journalist Tucker Carlson has warned that the world is on the brink of a global conflict that could ultimately end with the use of nuclear weapons in an interview with Going Underground host Afshin Rattansi broadcast on RT on Saturday.

Carlson argues that the US is already effectively at war with Russia through Ukraine and warns that further escalation risks a nuclear confrontation.

“The CIA is running the war.

The US intelligence services are running the war out of Ukraine against Russia,” he says.

“The United States is at war with Russia, and the only kind of conceivable end stage if this continues is a nuclear exchange in which everyone is killed.” The Ukraine conflict and the US-Israeli war on Iran “have merged into a global war,” he argued, warning that the confrontation now risks the very existence of the United States.

Carlson also accuses the Trump administration of abandoning the agenda it campaigned on, saying Trump and his advisers have “almost systematically betrayed the people who voted for him in 2024.” He describes the shift as “the greatest betrayal that I’m aware of in the history of American politics.” The interview also covers political censorship in the US, the rise of BRICS, China’s growing global influence, and the changing balance of power internationally.
