Iran on Thursday repudiated a declaration from the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) that it's not complying with its nuclear obligations, and said it would enhance aspects of its nuclear program in response.

I read this and thought: What the hell happened to Tucker?
Now, I know.
Definitely was not looking good
Don’t be modest. This was fantastic. There’s a handful of fellow travelers that need to go, too.
For whatever reason, Tucker has always hated Israel, dating at least back to his bow-tied days hosting Crossfire at CNN. But these days his loathing is off the charts, so much so that he’s willing to abandon Trump over the issue and side with and propagandize for the vilest of Islamic regimes. He’s a sick dude.
Thanks for the update.
Tucker just cares about viewers.
Rather, if you think the coddled, spoiled, ignorant younger generation has much of any conception about why there is so much tension and conflict in the Middle East, then you are likely one of them.
However, it is quite simple. Any nuke armed, ballistic missile, war mongering country, and aligned with other countries aiming the same at the US, is an enemy to the US.
And while Western Europe, as well as most of the US is committing slow suicide via its acceptance of entrenched Wokeism, these are not nuke threats, unlike the 3 aligned countries that were so before Ukraine.
As regards Israel, Iran should never have gotten this far.
US kicked the can down the road for years; Israel attacked can. And Iran was gaming for time to become a long range, nuke armed ballistic missile empire like its allies.
Iran vows new nuclear steps in response to IAEA censure
That was before Israel (reacted) attacked this recalcitrant enemy of it and the US. It actually was warranted and saves lives, as would have dealing with Germany by stopping it earlier.
Add to that:

Russia Signs Contract With Iran for 8 Nuclear Power Plants 3 days ago — Russia has signed a contract with Iran to build eight nuclear power plants, with four to be built in Bushehr, a district in the southern ..
Reagan when hearing of Israel taking out the nuke site of Irag: "Boys will be boys,"
Tucker is right to want peace, but he falls into the trap of ideologues on both sides. Inflexibility to adapt to a unique situation.
"Maybe they’ll be scorch marks soon."
Hey Tucker! The whole civilized world should be ‘complicit’ with Israel.
Wrote most of this earlier ... I’m just putting it here now to save it to put somewhere else. Maybe Tucker’s place. Poor Israel. One tiny sliver of land in a huge world but no room for them in too many people’s view.
Ummm ... Iran wants Israel completely destroyed and is working hard to get nukes on local nuclear-tipped missiles and working on ICBMs (Hello EU? US?) for more distant targets as well. These crazed Islamists hate Israel’s core existence and they promise it complete destruction.
Iran has paid proxies in Hamas, Hezbollah and the Houthis. Iran started this war on October 7, 2023.
They’re the small satan and we’re the great satan. Death for both per leadership and crowd chants in Iran. Almost hypnotizing the way they do it.
For a great victory in Allah’s name they can justify anything.
Its a nutso 7th Century “religion” but its also considered a war plan FOR THE COMPLETE ISLAMIZATION OF THE WORLD. In case you hadn’t heard.
No nukes for Iran.
Now is the time. Overwhelming power.
“Nice Tehran place you got there, shame if something were to happen to it.”
Now just tell them we’re taking over all nuclear facilities
and emptying out everything or just destroy it in place and bury it. In cement maybe. Ask the experts.
They’ve got Oil (#4 or #5 in world proven reserves) and Tourism and can grow anything with lots of agricultural space - they just need water.
Leadership threatening imminent total annihilation of Israel?
What was that thing ... Never Again?
That’s the civilized world’s promise to Israel. Right?
I have to note the Pali supporters and by extension, Hamas.
Weird, they appear to be hugely anti-semitic.
A Hamas soldier differs from the large majority of Palis only in that they may have a gun and probably has orders from Hamas.
Oil and electricity - Iranian proven reserves estimated conservatively by ChatGPT to last two hundred years for the 93 million residents.
BTW, see I know the lingo even if I don’t post much.
Israel is leading and the world must follow and support them.
Israel has Hezbollah, Hamas and Iran on the run. The Abraham Accords is open to more signatories.
-———————————— ChatGPT (Edited for readability):
The Abraham Accords are a set of bilateral normalization agreements, brokered by the United States in 2020, that bring together Israel and several Arab or Muslim-majority countries under shared principles:
Recognition of Israel’s sovereignty
Opening full diplomatic relations (ambassadors, embassies, flights)
Cooperation in economics, tourism, security, technology, interfaith dialogue
A common goal of regional stability and countering radicalism

Jordan, Oman, Yemen Possible future members Oman cautious, Jordan closely linked to Palestinian peace
Other states Emerging interest Iraq, Egypt historically allied but have not engaged formally
Plus there’s a small number of nutso mullahs and other leaders as noted versus probably a high percentage of the rest of the Iranian population. Maybe they’d a appreciate a democracy and constitutional rights?
ChatGPT says 85% of the population says they’re “less religious” in the last 5 years with only a small percentage
claiming increased religiosity I guess.
No nuts with nukes I always say to anyone who’ll listen.
Oblivion or peace? Hard but easy choice.
If you asked me ...
Nuts with opposing opinions are welcome, of course. ;-)
Good luck world. End of post.

<< VDH is all anti southern bias >>
Same with Mark Levin. I (mostly) agree with and enjoy their commentary on other subjects, but when they equate the Democrat party of the Old South with today’s warped woke bunch just to advance a narrative that Dems have been rotten since their inception I just shake my head. As if there’s little difference between Hussein Obama and Andrew Jackson.
Yes
It’s odd cause VDH is related maternally Joseph Johnston of rarely took the offensive fame
Ben Shapiro who I give six rating as a rule has on occasion praised the south as the most dependable last redoubt
And I confess I’m daily listener to VDH
I don’t agree with anyone all the time
This is getting to be a problem on social media as well.

Correct.
We give large grants to Israel — to buy American weapons, which they field test and upgrade. It’s about 10-15% of their defense budget. They pay a huge percentage of their GDP to their own defense. They rely on no (or few) US soldiers to put blood on the line. (We do help with anti-missile.)
Compare Japan, Korea, and all of Europe. Taking just Europe, we effectively pay 2/3 of their defense budget by stationing men and women and equipment on the front lines; they bear no cost of this. They don’t pay their fair of GDP.
And Israel does work we don’t have the political will to do, with their boys and girls.
Israel is a bargain, in comparison for price of the Pax Americana.
