It’s becoming routine: Tucker Carlson is apoplectic at talk of using military force to eliminate Iran’s nuclear program. Unable to conceal his animus, his June 4 X.com hyperventilation is a result. He hopefully feels better for the effort.
This time it’s because Mark Levin visited Trump, advocating bold action against Iran’s nuclear ambitions. Carlson seems particularly incensed that two Jews, Levin and Steve Witkoff (whom Carlson describes as a “Long Island native”), advise Trump. Is “Long Island” an antisemitic dog whistle? San Francisco native Carlson referenced Levin six times, emphasizing his loathing.
Carlson uses argument ad hominem and conjures imaginary strawmen, which are easily refuted. Examples include:
“In fact, there is zero credible intelligence that suggests Iran is anywhere near building a bomb, or has plans to. None. Anyone who claims otherwise is ignorant or dishonest.” Iran has enriched uranium to 60%, one step below weapons grade. Those who aren’t “ignorant or dishonest“ provide “credible intelligence” Iran has long cheated on international scrutiny (which is largely a joke). “In fact” signals incoming fabrications, as when pre-2020 Biden habitually declared “no joke,” “seriously folks,” “I'm not exaggerating,” or “I swear on my honor as a Biden.”
“Iran … has a fearsome arsenal of ballistic missiles, many of which are aimed at US military installations in the Gulf, as well as at our allies and at critical energy infrastructure. The first week of a war with Iran could easily kill thousands of Americans. It could also collapse our economy.”

“Israel? I’ve read the Bible. I know who Israel is. He’s a person. Not a creature of the united nations.”
AMEN!!!
Yeah....a lot of us aren’t down the Deep State Neocon’s perpetual war agenda.
Is it possible that the author is in Israel’s pocket?
Sometimes I disagree with Tucker.
That said I welcome him to the discussions.
Ditto Rogan.
I'm 50/50 on it. Iran is mainly Israel's problem (and other nations in the middle east), not our problem. So I do see your point. And I could easily be talked into fully supporting it.
But on the other hand, is there a point where we should take Iran's repeated threats to "destroy the great satan" and "death to America" seriously? Remember how we all felt on Sep 11 and regretted not taking Osama bin Laden's repeated threats seriously. Remember how the western world hated not fully responding to the repeated bombings of embassies leading up to 9/11 (and thus bin Laden called us a "paper tiger"). Should that lesson teach us to do more than just attack back at the Houthis who attacked American flagged and other nations' cargo ships using the Suez Canal? And after the Houthis attacked US Navy ships? We've done that, but we didn't hit the source of the problem, which is Iran.
I'd be all for giving Iran another quick Operation Praying Mantis like Reagan did after Iran bombed the USS Samuel Roberts. But only if we did it like Reagan did, and not do a 20-year not-really-trying-to-win war like we've done since Bush.
This is why I try not to pay too much attention to TV people. (We don’t watch TV and don’t have nfx, cable, or anything like that.) I only see The Cuckmeister on the internet. He has a squeaky voice.
If you really like some TV person’s work - and, you know, Cucker has a lot of good stuff out there, I’m not saying he’s an idiot or anything like that - all you have to do is wait a couple of weeks and s/he will totally disappoint you.
Like politicians, most of their performance is for their OWNERS - which is NOT the viewer, or in a politician’s case, the voter!
Have you been in the Democrat sh*tholes that we call cities here in the US?
Look what's going on in Karen Bass's sh*thole.
Aw shaddup. We don’t need a stupid war with Iran right now. We have enough problems.
Just go away.
Where's the lie?
Okay Akhmed.
Oh, don’t be an idiot. Iraq had poison gas (not tear gas) and used it on the Kurds. WMD includes poison gas.
Geesh, such convenient ignorance of facts to support a corrupt ideology.
“”Where’s the lie?””
Doth thou protesteth too much? I never called it a lie. It’s an opinion. Tucker’s opinion.
“It’s really simple to understand why any patriotic American would be opposed to military action on the other side of the world to further the interests of a foreign state.”
Agreed.
“”Have you been in the Democrat sh*tholes that we call cities here in the US?
Look what’s going on in Karen Bass’s sh*thole.””
All due to leftist control and I agree. The leftists have “fundamentally transformed” most of our large cities, even in red states, to crapholes. However, the post is about Tucker Carlson and his “fondness” for Russia, specifically Moscow and Putin. Not arguing that the left has not effed up our cities.
But keep in mind... that Moscow is in firm (understatement) totalitarian control by the Russkies. They control everything, including presenting a “beautiful” picture for any visiting pundit that they wish to impress. That does not mean that Moscow is “nicer than any American city”. It just means that the Russkies are better at propaganda... and that American leftists don’t GAS about presenting our cities as “beautiful” to anyone. They’re much too busy destroying and tearing down anything “American”.
Alex Christoforou does video walkies in Russian cities.
They’re safe and clean in the areas where he is.
You couldn’t pay me enough to walk around ANYWHERE in an American sh*tty.
We get it - you hate Russia.
“”God blesses those who bless Israel. That’s all I need to know.””
And what a coinkydence... that the ones that seem to hate and loathe Israel (da Jews)... are the same cretins that seem to hate and loathe God.
Maybe “Jews” are a little sensitive to nuclear radiation, so they press for harder responses? Maybe their butt skin is in the game a little vloser than mine way over here?
So Tucker disagrees...good. War makes him anxious....good. Jews feel radiating heat a lot sooner, stronger than Tucker.
So he is OK to object strenuously...and Jews are OK to seek harder responses strenuously.
Now, which makes the most sense here now?
“”We get it - you hate Russia.””
No. I don’t trust Russia. I don’t trust most other nations, in fact. Why would we? Experience has shown that to be folly, at our expense ... and most other nations are being controlled by the globalist Marxist cabal.
But this whole discussion started out about Tucker Carlson’s ‘tantrum’ re: his aversion to “using military force to eliminate Iran’s nuclear program”. I agree with him on that when it comes to using US military force. But Tucker seems to side with Russia and doesn’t even want Israel to use military force against Iran, apparently... which I do NOT agree with. We should (and probably will) encourage and ok Israel going in and doing what needs to be done to keep Iran from nuking up, even if that approval is done unofficially and behind the scene.
Question. Do you trust Russia and/or Putin? And no, I’m not for Ukraine/Z either. I don’t trust any of them. And due to Tucker’s stance, I don’t trust him either. But I stated that a year ago and was labeled a “Tucker hater”. Too funny. That distrust and dislike has to equate to “hate” here, even by so-called Conservatives.
You that the original article poster is an anti-Tucker, pro-Ukie propagandist, don’t you?
The guy is a pure propagandist and searches out anti-Tucker garbage.
