    Why anyone is interested in what Tucker Carlson has to say about anything is beyond me

    Tucker lost the last bit of respect when Putin told him to STFU and go tell his story to the American people. Like Alex Jones, he will say anything to gain a viewer.

    Ooor. There are 5 big buckets of influencer money out there: 1. American 2. Jewish 3. Russian 4. Arab 5. Chinese.

    The buckets overlap with each other in some regards but are also strongly opposed in other regards.

    Tucker and a lot of MAGA people get bucket 3 and the Russians don’t want to see Iran fall.

    FACT:

    You can oppose a leader without hating the people he or she leads. It's not rocket science. You can oppose Putin and not hate the Russian people. You can oppose Netanyahu and not hate Jews. You can oppose Trump and not hate Americans.

    You can oppose leaders for many reasons, whether it's their discrimination, racism and LGBT hate, or torturing, poisoning, and killing their own people. You can oppose leaders who start bombing or invading other countries, and those who commit war crimes, genocide, and other atrocities upon humanity. That doesn't mean you hate the people of the country they lead. The people under these type leaders are often the victims themselves.

    Yeah of course, "great" isn't doing him justice, he's the best candidate - he's a direct descendant of the previous puppet government the west installed, he deserves it. :D

    I'm sure they would lie either way, but all of this crap could have been avoided with some type of peace agreement. I don't want Americans retaliated against or dying because of this war. It could spur terrorism.

    I agree with this - but there are a few things we do know.

    One of them is that Tulsi and her department were claiming and have claimed repeatedly that Iran did not have the capability for nuclear weapons - and this was in the last month or so. So this leaves three possibilities - Tulsi lied when she said it, our intelligence sucks or Israel has huge balls, attacked Iran anyway and figured they could drag Trump into all of this.

    I don't think anyone can say for certain what the "right decision" in all of this is/was and we likely will not know for decades if ever. Sometimes there are no clear answers. I will say though, if this progresses beyond simple bombing, the American people are not going to be supportive of this.

    It’s Israel’s war. Let them keep fighting it if they control the skies. It’s already costing this broke nation millions upon millions of dollars just moving assets to the region.

    Israel is already running out of munitions. It’s not like they grow their own F35s and anti air munitions.

    Not like Iran has any real industrial capacity left.

    I guess support from the American people depends on if you watch Fox or MSNBC

    It is almost like Israel shouldn't be in the business of war against a nation with 100,000,000 people.
