Tucker Carlson is half right.

Tucker is not differentiating between defensive tactical weapons and strategic offensive weapons. That difference is very important. Defensive weapons including fighters with small tactical missiles are fine. Ukraine, bordering Russia or not, has every right and a moral obligation to defend itself.
