In 2022, American commentator Tucker Carlson condemned the U.S. giving up Russian arms dealer Viktor Bout in a prisoner swap, calling him "an indisputably serious criminal" who "sold weapons to terror groups that killed Americans."

Just four years later, Carlson welcomed Bout on his podcast to promote Russian talking points to his millions of viewers.

"I can understand why (former U.S. President) Barack Obama wanted to put you in prison," Carlson laughingly told Bout, praising the arms dealer later on in the interview as "a very wise man."

How do all these ghouls get so many russian connections? Is it as simple as 1) be high profile, 2) they reach out and give you money for airtime/spreading propaganda, etc?
