“What was very shocking, very disturbing, was the city of Moscow, where I’d never been,” Carlson told Adeeb. “It was so much nicer than any city in my country. [It’s] so much cleaner, and prettier aesthetically — its architecture, its food, its service — than any city in the United States.” So why doesn’t he move there? I’ve been to Moscow and apart from Red Square and a few other enclaves it’s mostly made up of drab, dilapidated, faceless apartment buildings that would make most housing projects in the US look luxurious. Inside the apartments are 2-3 tiny, cramped rooms with equally tiny kitchens and bathrooms. And as far as safety goes? The average Russian surely wouldn’t recognize Carlson’s rosy view of low crime, most have at least 3 strong locks on their doors. Carlson may be a useful idiot to some but I would leave out the useful part, if this is the best Putin can do that’s pathetic.
