ALBAWABA - Amid his recent interview with Russia's President Vladimir Putin and visiting Moscow, Tucker Carlson is the talk of the internet yet again after comparing US cities to Russia's capital Moscow in every way including their cleanliness, infrastructure, and organization. 

In his recent comments at the World Government Summits, Tucker said "Moscow is so much nicer than any city in my country" and added that the city has developed so much since the 80s as his father used to reside there working for the US government and struggled to get electricity back then:

"Now it's so much cleaner, safer, and prettier aesthetically due to architectural developments, food, and service than any city in the United States".

The controversial individual went on to add that if Americans can't use the subway in their cities because it would be deemed "unclean" and "too dangerous", they might have to wonder if this is actually "true leadership". 

Tucker Carlson's interview with Putin took the internet by storm as it reached more than 100 million impressions on X (formerly known as Twitter).

Users took to X and compared New York's subway which is notorious for being "unclean" and "dangerous", according to them with Mowscow's clean and beautiful metro stations and subways as seen in the embedded post below:

Jackson Hinkle who has 2.4 million followers on X said "Tucker Carlson says Moscow is much cleaner and safer than any major city in the US. I entirely agree."

Elon Musk added, "Our subways could really use an extreme makeover".

Here's more of what users on X with most of them being American also added: 

"Even their subways are beautiful and clean."

"Tucker is absolutely right." 

"I've been to Russia a few times.. they literally have no trash in their streets... in Saint Petersburg AND Moscow. Go to LA or NY."
