I've been seeing more and more nonsense from Tucker Carlson, a guy whose FoxNews show I watched fairly regularly. Since he left, I've only caught the occasional episode of his podcast...or whatever it is...and two of them I watched compelled by comments showing up on certain forums regarding the guests he was interviewing...such as Nick Fuentes. While I agreed with complaints that he didn't push back against some of most radical opinions expressed, I had felt that his purpose was simply to provide a forum to express those opinions in full for all to see, by which all could decide for themselves what to think about the guest in question.
But as time went on, I kept hearing more nonsensical things coming from him regarding Trump and his actions regarding Iran. So there's no confusion, I'm totally in support of Trump's actions to damage the ability of the Iranian regime to be a world-class, world wide pain in the ass and major threat to our nation and our strongest Middle Eastern ally, Israel. To suggest that prior to our initial strike they were not a real "clear and present" danger to our existence is to be a total ostrich, except with one's head up one's own ass. Forty-seven years of referring to us as the Great Satan and chants of "Death to America" should tell people something.
Trump has long insisted that Iran should never have a nuke...particularly Iran as it now exists with truly evil people running that country. Only a true moron would think we can ignore the threat they pose and expect that somewhere down the line they won't unleash a nuclear attack upon us or Israel...or anyone else they believe has it coming according to their twisted fake religious beliefs. And so, Trump chose to make sure that their threats would be as empty as possible. To that end he aligned with Bibe Netanyahu to strike them where it hurts, and as we did in Japan in the 1940s, he did it twice so they know he means business. Now, aside from desperate actions to appear as if they're still the great danger they had been, Trump has pretty much neutered them and their nuclear capabilities are almost non-existent...and certainly nothing which threatens entire nations.
But some, like Carlson, have problems with destroying bad guys, apparently. He even goes so far as to pretend he's doing Bibi's bidding and not acting on his own volition and understanding of the threat Iran poses. (Which is it? Is Trump Putin's pupper or Bibi's? I need a score card!) But anyone who doesn't think Trump's his own man is a buffoon and there's really no case to be made to the contrary. He's even gone so far as to say that he's leaving the GOP over it, and claims if he's leaving others will as well over this. But here's the thing, despite this claim that Trump's now an "America Last" president...a position held also by sour grapes Marjorie Taylor Greene, I once again insist that Trump's got it right as regards the need to make the mullahs heel, hopefully to the point that the people of Iran can take control and oust the bastards altogether. The scum won't go away, but for the Iranians to do what they should've done forty years ago might require our continued efforts to keep whatever leadership the regime has left at bay.
The worst part is hearing how Trump's righteous efforts might lead to many Republican voters to stay home in November. This is "progressive" level stupid. How many times does Trump have to prove he knows what he's doing before people will understand he's deserving of a degree of trust? As with so many problems Trump has and is in the process of resolving, this Iranian thing is a mess of previous administrations' making and this can simply cannot be kicked down the road any longer.
So some think Carlson is a total Jew-hater and paid stooge of Qatar and such. I don't know and I don't care. I do care that anyone will give him more attention than he has coming. He doesn't know what Trump knows about dealing with either Israel OR Iran, and while he's free to speak his mind...such as it's become...he should be taken with a grain of salt until he can prove his recent wackiness isn't wackiness at all. I still put my money on Trump. He's given no reason for me to put it anywhere else, and those like Tucker haven't provided any.
