Yes, we all want to see a free democratic Iran that does not support terrorism around the globe. However, blowing things up in Tehran with smart bombs and Moabs is not going to accomplish that. Do we really want to get into another war in a country twice the size of Iraq? With 67 million people and 10% of them HATE us?
This seems to be what Tucker has said more than once.
Every time he comes out against these forever wars (like the one in Ukraine) there are people HERE ON FREE REPUBLIC that call him names and say he is a tool of Qatar and he is Anti Semitic.
The Israeli lobby to our US Congress and Federal government is stronger than ANY other organization. We are witnessing the unraveling of a CIA/MOSSAD spying operation to compromise rich men and get them to do things because they fell into the Honey Trap of Jeffery Epstein.
Whenever Tucker brings up a subject that people are not comfortable with he is typically FLAMED. Which makes me perceive that the FLACK IS ALWAYS HEAVIEST WHEN YOU ARE OVER THE TARGET.
So, go ahead and call ME an ANTISEMETIC.
FLAME AWAY!
Bingo !
Its not antisemitism to state the truth, Israel puts their interests before everyone else's, and it's idiotic for any other country not to do the same.
However, the US still has some ethical and legal guardrails around our intelligence services that Israel doesn't seem to have, in part this maybe existential.
Search Youtube for "CIA" and "Mossad", and you will find that ex CIA officers never liked working with the Mossad.
As one astute FReeper posted: There are those so blinded by annual billions of US tax dollars blanketing tiny Israel that Americans not wanting another Middle East war (just because Israel wants it) is deemed “ANTISEMITIC.” Do we really want to get into a war with Iran ....... a country twice the size of Iraq? With 67 million people, 10% of whom HATE us?
Reality Check
Iran has a large military in terms of personnel, tanks, and regional
proxies, plus Iran has larger numbers in its missile arsenal.
Yet, Israel is generally seen as militarily stronger due to its annoyingly persistent lobby embedding
Israel’s “qualitative edge” in US law without the knowledge and acquiescence of US taxpayers.
Israel slobbers at the US funding trough 24/7 and is dependent on US tax dollars to advance its air power, the paper tiger of its super-hyped intelligence apparat, and its presumably “cutting-edge” technology financed with US tax dollars.
Israeli military is totally dependent on US tax dollars and thus can throw around its military weight against anyone who stands in the way of Israel’s quest for world domination.
Israel makes a sophomoric show-and-tell of “strong US support”.
US taxpayer outlays for its multi-layered air defense system are massive.......
thus making Israel appear to be superior in technological and military effectiveness.
“Thus his opposition to us getting into another Middle East war because Israel wants us to is ANTISEMITIC.”
I will just add that that he has been against war for several years. Trump was as well.
Now I have read that the Israeli prime minister is visiting him for the seventh time since the election. Why so many?
Tucker claimed Trump was starting WW3 last spring. He was full of crap then and now. Israel did us a HUGE FAVOR by destroying Iran’s defenses so we could achieve a 40 year goal of the USA! But the Jew haters claim “The world is ending!”
He’s a paid flunky for the Arabs
Tucker is a self interested media businessman who spoon feeds contrarian pablum to the gullible for his personal financial gain. Quite successfully, apparently.
