Previously, Carlson said he had planned to sit-down with the Russia president while at Fox News but then called it off claiming the U.S. government was monitoring him.

“I tried to interview Vladimir Putin, and the U.S. government stopped me,” Carlson told the Swiss publication, Die Weltwoche back in September. “By the way, nobody defended me. I don’t think there was anybody in the news media who said, ‘Wait a second. I may not like this guy, but he has a right to interview anyone he wants, and we have a right to hear what Putin says.'”

    What makes me curious is, not that he went to Russia, but just how did he get there?

    From what I read, he had traveled to Alberta Canada and then it looks like he just flew to Russia from there. I’m under the impression that there is no commercial air travel from the US or Canada to Russia. So where did he fly to after he left Canada? China? North Korea? Cuba? Taylor Swift’s private jet?

      You sound just like him. Well played.

      Step one, pretend you’re looking at the situation holistically by focusing on something semi-related.

      Step two, frame potential answers as questions to be able to make your opponent look worse without actually saying anything verifiable.
