BREAKING
Russian Ministry of Defense: 37 Ukrainian drones destroyed in 4 hours over regions of Russia and the Black Sea.
Sheikh Qassem: Our supporters make up more than half of Lebanon's population, and all of these people are united under the banner of protecting Lebanon, its Resistance, its people, and its integrity.
Sheikh Qassem: There will be no phased handing in of our arms. [The Israelis] must first enact the agreement before we start talking about a defensive strategy.
Sheikh Qassem: Be brave in the face of foreign pressures, and we will be by your side in this stance.
Sheikh Qassem: Stripping us of our arms is like stripping us of our very soul, and this will prompt us to show them our might.
Sheikh Qassem: We will not abandon our arms, for they gave us dignity; we will not abandon our arms, for they protect us against our enemy.
Sheikh Qassem: The US efforts we are seeing are aimed at sabotaging Lebanon and constitute a call for sedition.
Sheikh Qassem: If you truly want to establish sovereignty and work for Lebanon’s interests, then stop the aggression.
Sheikh Qassem: The United States, which is meddling in Lebanon, is not trustworthy but rather poses a danger to it.
Sheikh Qassem: The United States is preventing the weapons that protect the homeland.

A poll conducted by the Washington-based Democracy Institute revealed that 6 in 10 Americans support Tucker Carlson interviewing Russian President Vladimir Putin. 

This came amid vehement rejection from the White House of the former Fox News anchor's decision to host the Russian president, the Daily Express US reported on Saturday.

According to the survey, 63% of Americans want the interview to be conducted, while 29% rejected the prospect. The remaining 8% were neutral, voting that they did not know if the interview would be the right thing to do. 

On Thursday, American journalist Tucker Carlson aired his interview with Russian President Vladimir Putin, marking the first occasion of a Western journalist conducting such an interview since the launch of the special military operation in Ukraine in February 2022.

Tucker Carlson's interview with Putin has received over 186 million views on X and 11 million views on YouTube so far.

Clinton personally attacks Carlson

This decision prompted strong criticism from the Western mainstream media and the US government.

Former US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton called Fox News' former star host Tucker Carlson a "useful idiot", belittling him as a career journalist ahead of the release of his interview. 

Rather than reaffirming the historical facts to counter the Russian discourse about the special military operation in Ukraine, which Putin has repeatedly presented as a response to NATO's eastward expansion and alleged broken promises by the West, Clinton attacked Carlson personally, echoing statements formerly made by the White House.

While statements by US officials have made it clear the issue at hand is that Carlson has given Putin a platform to propagate a counterpoint perspective of events in Eurasia that resulted in the war in Ukraine, Clinton sought to cast doubt on Carlson, painting him as a "useful idiot" and a "puppy dog".
