Considering Carlson has ALWAYS promoted whatever view best serves Russia, I don't know how anyone could not see this coming

Then why wouldn't he be all about this? The Iran war is massively improving Russia's bottom line.
I'm not saying he's not a massive cunt, I'm just saying.
Iran and Russia are allies, Iran is pretty much the last one they've got in the region. It's in Russias medium/long term soft power interests that the current government isn't toppled.
The war itself isn't improving Russias bottom line as much as Trump dropping sanctions. The global price of oil didn't matter much as long as the price caps were in place.
I would just say Tucker is criticizing Western power projection globally and has become an isolationist.
I used to think that too, until the pattern emerged that he's outspoken only when it's about Russia or Russian-aligned countries. His "interview" with Putin really was the icing on the cake.
