The Republican Party is debating whether Russia is a friend or foe. Tucker Carlson is one of the major figures in the GOP who has defended Putin. In a recent interview, Pompeo said that respecting Putin doesn't mean we should love him, like him, or bend a knee to him. He is a capable leader, but we shouldn't treat him like a JV.
