Putin most popular leader in the world Tucker Carlson
The primary reason is that the Russian president puts his countrys interests first, according to the US journalist.
Oh dear, that's not going to go down well with the Western MSM for whom Putin is another Hitler.
Generally, leaders who put their country first are not popular - one only has to think of Fico, Orban, Trump and others the Western MSM doesn't like.
Whereas leaders who don't put their country first - like Macron, Merz and Starmer - are even more unpopular.
Go figure.
