Tucker Carlson and Steve Bannon warn that without a singular focus from the president to stop it right now, the U.S. will be dragged into war with Iran and repeat all the mistakes of the war on terror on an even larger scale.
"I don't want my country to be further weakened and destroyed by another one of these wars," Tucker said. "And if you can't connect the dots after 25 years of this sh*t, you're either too dumb to participate in the conversation, or, like Mark Levin, you're just a liar who doesn't care."
"This is a perfect way to scuttle the USS America on the shores of Iran, but it’s also going to end Trump’s presidency, effectively end it. And so that’s why I’m saying this."
He addressed President Trump: "You’re the only person who can bring peace. You should continue to try to do that. It’s difficult; it takes a long time, but your timetable is the only timetable that matters."
"Don’t get bum-rushed. You don’t need to fix this because there’s political turmoil in Bibi’s coalition. That’s not relevant. He’s at thirty-percent approval; that’s not your problem. Just because some ultra-Orthodox party doesn’t want to be conscripted or whatever’s going on in Israel—those are longtime problems that country has had; that’s not relevant to your plans as leader of the free world, OK?"

I can't tell if you are being serious or not. Is there another situation where one country could have their infrastructure destroyed by a different country and that wouldn't lead to war?
Iran, by the way, boasts of developing ICBMs that can hit America with atomic bombs made in that facility. Iran cannot wage a war against America if there are no American troops on Iranian soil,
What???
You just said they could hit us with ICBMs. We all know they could have dozens or hundreds or even thousands of sleeper agents who came through Biden's border. (which you later acknowledge)
How in the world do you get "Iran cannot wage a war against America"???
I truly hope none of your loved ones are hit by the blowback from this and your words turn to ashes in your mouth.
There are interests that are actively destabilizing the international system and pushing the world into a series of regional war that can be escalated into a full scale WWIII for reasons and goals known only to themselves.
They pushed as hard as possible to ignite multiple general wars in the run up to the 2024 elections and accelerated their efforts during the transition period between the Biden and Trump Administration.
They continue their efforts to ignite and expand conflicts against the best efforts of the Trump Administration to end the conflicts and begin the rebuilding process.
The groups that are trying to instigate WWIII are not willing to give up without a fight so sitting on the sidelines and letting them build momentum for war is not a winning strategy.
They are going to have to be defeated one way or another and that may require the use of force when appropriate.
The best way to achieve this is by reestablishing deterrence and re establishing the concept of deterrence that was completely destroyed under Biden is going to require the judicious use of force to make an example of the some of the more outrageous offenders.
This is exactly what the Trump Administration is working to achieve and we should support them in these efforts.
What will weaken and destroy America faster is Iran’s acquisition of nuclear weapons.
Trump is doing the right thing by supporting Israel and seeking negotiations with Iran to end its nuclear program.
That sure as hell isn't something we should be involved in.
How decades does this kind of nonsense have to fail?
It's absurd to thinking killing, invading and bombing Islamic regimes is going to turn them into Western friendly democracies. New radicals will simply replace the old ones.
Of course, not!
(Glad to see somebody is awake out there)
Every US incursion into the Middle East has been a disaster. Why would this one be diffent?
Carter in Iran. Bush in Iraq and Afghanistan. Obama in Libra and Syria.
Has there ever been a success? Maybe I’ve forgotten.
President Trump tried to negotiate and then warned Iran. They did not listen.
Make no mistake. Every last American would be sacrificed to the death cult.

Carlson’s interview on Tuesday with alleged historian Darryl Cooper — like his interview in April with Reverend Munther Isaac, referenced in today’s flashbacks — was so much worse than merely glib or incurious.
Carlson chose to interview Cooper, whom he endorsed as “the best and most honest popular historian in the United States” to learn exactly how World War II didn’t happen. According to Cooper — and Carlson nodded along the entire time — Winston Churchill was perhaps “the chief villain of the Second World War” and “primarily responsible for that war becoming what it did.”
It’s true that Hitler did not want or expect Britain to fight. He wanted Britain to acquiesce to German dominance of Europe from the Urals to Gibraltar and subsume the UK to Nazi interests. This is all a matter of historical record. Britain could fight or submit — that was Hitler’s choice, not Churchill’s.
FLASHBACK: Carlson chose to interview Isaac to find out how the Jewish State of Israel treats Christians. Isaac is a priest who neither lives nor works in Israel and who uses the loaded phrase “Occupied Palestine” as his location on his Twitter/X profile. He is a Palestinian Christian from Palestinian-controlled Bethlehem, where Christian ministers serve at the mercy of the Palestinian Authority.
Probably because an attack on an underground nuclear facility in Iran (or anything else in Iran) is an act of war.
And once we commit an act of war against another country, that country's response is completely unpredictable; an act of war on their part is not only possible, but highly likely.
“I don’t want America in Ukraine or Iran. Neither can have a nuclear weapon.”
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
Ukraine once stood among the most heavily nuclear-armed nations on Earth. After the collapse of the Soviet Union, it inherited nearly 2,000 nuclear warheads — about 4% of the global nuclear arsenal—making it a formidable power in its own right.
But in 1994, seeking peace and stability in the post-Cold War era, Ukraine made a historic decision. Under the Budapest Memorandum, signed by Russia, the United States, and the United Kingdom, Ukraine agreed to relinquish its entire nuclear arsenal to Russia. In return, these powers made solemn commitments:
Russia pledged to respect Ukraine’s sovereignty, territorial integrity, and independence,
The United States and the UK offered security assurances, vowing to protect Ukraine or, at the very least, help it protect itself.
Ukraine honored its word. It disarmed. It kept its promise.
But Russia did not. It shattered that agreement—invading Crimea in 2014, and launching a full-scale war in 2022. Every clause of the Budapest Memorandum has been blatantly violated by Russia, exposing the fragile nature of security promises when deterrence is given away.
Worse still, President Obama, despite the United States’ signature on that agreement, refused to send defensive weapons to Ukraine when it first faced Russian aggression. That inaction was a moral and strategic failure, undermining both the letter and spirit of the memorandum.
It was President Trump, not Obama, who finally began delivering arms to Ukraine — belatedly beginning to fulfill the promise America made in 1994.
The world must never forget: Ukraine chose peace over power. It trusted the West. It upheld its end of the deal.
Iran has been at war with the U.S. since the day they took over in 79.
It is absolute delusion to say they were ever at peace or seeking peace with us. They will never want peace with us.
5 damn times a day they shout it at us in the state mosques Death to America.
They have killed our soldiers everywhere they could including Lebanon under Reagan and Iraq under Bush and Obama.
This stupid sob story about how they deserve peace is a deadly lie that has never deserved a moments consideration.
The reason there were so many American civilian contractors and their families living in Afghanistan would indicate things were going well enough there and the appearance of the cities looking much more modern with commerce, continuing large and successful construction projects, etc. vs. how they looked before was extraordinary. You have to be clueless at best or dishonest at worse to say otherwise. Until Biden abruptly pulled out with zero transition or air support.
Iraq after the surge was also going well until Obama abruptly pulled out with zero transition and no air support. ISIS should have and never would have gotten in there but for that. The convoys were seen on satellite travelling across the desert and stopped outside the cities to set up their sieges before going in - could have all been stopped in their tracks with airstrikes before they got entrenched in the cities - none of that had to happen. Again, to deny this is clueless at best or dishonest at worst...and of course that is the reality we recognized at the time almost universally here on this forum.
I’m not clueless or dishonest. As well as they seem to be going for a while it never ended well. And if you think it did you are clueless and or dishonest. And the US lives lost for both incursions sicken me.
Trying to clean up Muslim run countries is a fool’s sport.
“Bottom line, there’s still zero evidence that the IDF hit any nuclear assets”. What news have you been listening to? Any news?
The Israelis have been bombarding Iran’s nuke sites for days. Iran’s nuclear objectives are toast.
Why is it up to the US to pay for any of this? (You could make the same argument about why we should colonize the moon; eventually, it would become hospitable for many people.)
We've run our own country up on the rocks, and yet we're still called to throw blood and money into some far-off corner of the world, because someone thinks that it's a great idea and that we would too, if only we could see it the way he does.
Then let's call it a day and put our feet up.
I really need to hear what Tucker is saying, but I have a feeling that I will not like it. First of all, it’s not our war so Trump isn’t the one that has to stop it.
Perhaps it would stop if all of Iran’s nuclear ambitions died along with the facilities that have been used to achieve them.
No nukes for Iran - ever.
“Probably because an attack on an underground nuclear facility in Iran (or anything else in Iran) is an act of war.”
Really???
You mean all those assaults on our ships by Iranian forces in international waters were not acts of war?
Iran is over there, and if Americans don’t show up over there, there is no war.
And do you actually think Iran will go to war with the United States when it can’t even fight little Israel?
