TUCKER CARLSON: War against Russia will be the last war we can afford to fight
Foxnews ^ | 4-5-23 | Tucker Carlson

Posted on 04/06/2023 8:02:15 AM PDT by dynachrome

We should prepare to lose our position as holder of the world's reserve currency. That is happening in slow motion. It's unmistakable. Now, the Biden people seem to have no idea this is going on or maybe they want it to happen. Joe Biden was up there at the State of the Union bragging about how he took 30 points off the Russian ruble in a single day. Hurray. Good for us, but once we stop celebrating our win, the destruction of the Russian economy, they deserve it. You have got to wonder, is there a downside to this? Could it be a pyrrhic victory? Let's see. These policies have driven Russia, China, India, Turkey and other countries to accelerate their flight from the U.S. dollar. Let's be clear. That's the majority of the global economy. This may be the most reckless and destructive thing any American president has ever done to the United States.

So, that was last year and at the time it was really just yelling into the wind. Those views were considered absurd, even treasonous. Biden and his Republican allies described sanctions against Russia as morally essential. We seized oligarchs’ yachts at anchor. We closed the Apple Store in Moscow. We were all assured these were important victories and anyone who has questions what their long-term economic consequences was a Putin stooge. That was the consensus in Washington last spring. In case you've forgotten what it sounded like

Can’t afford it period. There’s serious, deadly problems at home.

When we are all starving will the government provide food, medicine and buses to illegal aliens fleeing the country?

Will we see a segment on Tucker going to the bank and cashing in all his U.S. dollars for Russian rubles?

Why not, Tucker?

TC surrenders to everyone and his brother because he’s out of money. Biden’ buddy speaks treason. TC leaves another slime trail.

Shoot, it has the possibility of being the last one... period.

And so pointless. All so the globalists can gain control of Russia’s resources and banking. We found the embers of that historic uke nazi movement, nurtured and blew on them until it burst into a flame. Does anyone -really- think DC and London see Ukraine as the cradle of democracy and western freedom? They are a means to a globalist control end.
And as an aside, the more it damages the US economy, the more that serves their globalist goal.

Well…given the irony that at this point the only thing that could save us from descent into full-throated Democrat fascism would be for the country they now rule with an iron-fist (this country, in case you missed the twisted reference) to be badly defeated in a foreign war. I have little doubt that America would be defeated - even though it would spread destruction widely around the world - so the idea of them losing control of a foreign adventure is the one hope I have yet that we might avoid descent into full on police state.

Not True, we cannot even pay for this one, now.

We've already lost on the Economics Battlefield, and this War IS about Economics.

No, but you’ll probably see him buying bitcoin and gold. IF he is stupid enough to talk about it in public.

So what is your theory? That it’s not a problem for the dollar that we need 33 trillion just to claim we are flat broke? That the Saudis, Chinese, Brazilians, Mexicans, French, Indians, and Russians all moving to a basket of gold based trade currencies is no big deal? That weaponizing the dollar for the war on Russia didn’t teach the whole world to protect their holdings from the DC junta? That you cannot see we are teetering on the edge of cascading bank collapses?

You might be an enthusiast for the Ukrainian cause, but I would like to hear your argument that the dollar is sound, and at no risk from the de-dollarizing movement.

We can’t even claim to be “broke” until we find 33 trillion somewhere.

Of course, this is being done intentionally. FJB and his mis-administration are firmly in the WEF’s front pocket. The US is going down soon unless we do something. This is the political opposite of MAGA, this is MAG - Make America Garbage. Is there no legal recourse to this wholesale, unvoted for, drastic and destructive change to our core political system?

Yes! But only if you submit to euthanasia vaccines.

I'm used to this kind of hysterical nincompoopery from the Left, but it's still strange to me to see it coming from the Right.

We fought two world wars and won before the US dollar became the world's reserve currency. In fact, we would become much stronger if it were not because we would have to extract our own resources and manufacture more here.

The globalist ruling elite have been tried in the balance and found wanting. US elites have squandered the moral capital that the US built up since 1776 as well as its financial capital. They have thoroughly corrupted its institutions such that only a remnant of Americans remain faithful to the principles of the founding of the US.

The world sees this, but the majority of Americans are blind.

You can’t spend money that burns up in the secondary blasts.

We could steal 33 Trillion worth of Russian natural resources, sell 'em off, then declare bankruptcy for Social Security and Veterans Benefits.

Zelensky Issues Bakhmut Retreat Warning
https://www.newsweek.com/zelensky-issues-bakhmut-retreat-warning-1792866

Considering that according to the pro-Uke battle map,

the Ruskies have conquered 5/8ths to 2/3rds of Bakhmut, I can see why Z is doing this.
