Tucker Carlson meets Serbian President Aleksandar Vučić at Budapest’s embassy, where Vučić blames NATO—backed by the U.S.—for Ukraine’s war, calling it a proxy conflict devastating Europe’s economy, especially Germany’s, via Nord Stream sabotage. He frames the crisis as a geopolitical shift favoring China and Gulf States over Western dominance, dismissing Cold War-era moral binaries. Meanwhile, Serbia’s dual-role Finance/Sports Minister—a 65-year-old Olympic volleyball coach—reveals his son’s fandom for Carlson, underscoring Serbia’s complex stance: balancing anti-NATO rhetoric with pragmatic ties to the West.

NATO War vs. Russia 00:03:20

So we're in the car going to the Serbian embassy to meet with the president of Serbia who is in town.
Serbia has the distinction of being one of the countries in the region that's been bombed by NATO in 1999. So I think he's got an interesting perspective on what's happening in Ukraine, the NATO war against Russia.
That is worth hearing, we think.
And he's a smart guy, apparently.

We just met with the president of Serbia who is advertised is smart and aware and has perspective that you don't get in the United States very often.
One of the points he made is that The war in Ukraine, the war against Russia led by NATO, has crushed the European economy.
The destruction of Nord Stream by the Biden administration, either directly or through proxies, is killing the German economy.
And the German economy is the largest economy in Europe by far.
And so the downstream effects of that, one NATO country effectively attacking another NATO country, are felt throughout Europe.
And that's crazy.
That's completely crazy.
This war is hurting everybody, possibly with the exception of long term, of Russia and empowering everybody outside of Europe.
The Gulf States, China, Turkey.
So you're really seeing the world reset in response to this war.
It's a little more complicated than Hitler versus Churchill, good versus bad.
Democracy!
It's really about a massive shift in power away from the United States and the West to the East.
