This isn't the first time Carlson has been concern trolling about Russia. I think it is partly because of the Biden backing Ukraine but also because Putin has been viewed as an anti-establishment figure in Western politics by virtue of opposing the west. It's also why you find the same useful idiots on some parts of the left as well. There are people on the left and on the right who are united in so much as they want to tear it all down and if that involves Putin inflicting a defeat on the West they'll take it.
