Entertainer Tucker Carlson recently sat down with Russian political scientist Sergey Karaganov, a man who has openly advocated for limited nuclear strikes as a tool of “assertive deterrence.”

And instead of challenging those ideas? Carlson platformed them.

In this video, I break down the logical fallacies, rhetorical tricks, and outright distortions used throughout that interview. We’re going to walk through:

• Ad Hominem attacks

• False premises

• Hasty generalizations

• Argument from motives

• Post hoc reasoning

• A priori rationalization

• Scare tactics and worst-case fear scenarios

• Questionable authority (“star power”)

• Conspiracy-style attribution laundering

This isn’t about attacking Tucker Carlson as a person, it’s about attacking bad arguments.

Because when public figures mix real events with half-truths and nuclear brinkmanship rhetoric, that has real-world consequences. Information warfare isn’t abstract, it’s information warfare as fires. And when influential voices amplify narratives that benefit adversaries, it matters.
