Tucker Carlson would have been a perfect adviser to the late Neville Chamberlain, the British Prime Minister who sold out Czechoslovakia in 1938 at Munich in an attempt to appease the Nazi dictator Adolf Hitler and waive a meaningless piece of diplomatic paper proclaiming “peace in our time.” Instead of confronting Hitler when it was relatively easy and when his own generals did not trust him, we got World War II, the Holocaust, and unfathomable carnage.
On his Wednesday night Fox News show, Tucker Carlson treated Ukraine like Chamberlain treated Czechoslovakia, a faraway country of no strategic importance, not worthy of fighting and dying for, and certainly not worth ticking off the brutal dictator trying to take it over:
Rep. Mike Turner (R-OH) may have gotten a more combative interview than he bargained for when he appeared with Tucker Carlson on Wednesday night.
Last week Turner and 14 other Republican members of Congress wrote a letter to President Joe Biden calling on him “to immediately provide support to the Ukrainians” after satellite images showed a buildup of Russian military “Tucker, thank you so much for bringing attention to this issue,” said Turner after Carlson welcomed him to the show. “This is one the mainstream media is not going to be reporting and is incredibly important for people to understand what Russia is doing and really the threat to the United States and the threat to the United States’ allies.” forces along Ukraine’s northern border.
After saying that many military families watch his show, Carlson told Turner, “I wonder if you could explain to them why it is in America’s interest that their kids risk their lives in Ukraine.”

Es complicado. References to Munich 1938 oversimplify.
Nope.
I'm an American. What's between Great Russia, Red Russia, and White Russia is nothing to me.
There's always a lot of that on these kinds of threads.
Fine. Good luck. Hope they win.
But they will probably lose.
Means nothing to me.
Slavs should be uniting, not fighting each other.
The Ukrainians are completely different as a people than the tribal Afghans. And the Ukrainians hate the Russians, thus arming them makes sense to me, it would not be a wasted effort as Afghanistan turned out to be.
Sobieski‘s no different than the Lincoln Nitwits.
I would crawl over glass to vote for Carlson in a presidential matchup.
Even over Trump, DeSantis, or Paul…
Ukraine has corrupted our politicians and continues to corrupt them. Why should we worry about Ukraine’s “territorial integrity?”
And why do all these FReepers support Stalin's annexation of Austro-Polish territory to move "Ukraine" 200 miles to the West?
Eastern Ukraine is gone. So is Crimea. But they aren’t going to split up the country any more if they can help it. And it doesn’t really solve the problem, as Putin and NATO will struggle to get control of the central section.
There are more major crisis going on in this country that he could write about but instead he chooses Tucker Carlson?
Ukraine is the most Corrupt county I’ve ever dealt with.
We have a $20 Million EBPVD coater from the Ukraine we Thermal Barrier Coat Airliner Turbine Airfoils with. Our Coater went down for maintenance, and our backup was a coater in the Ukraine.
The Ukranians wanted me to mark the parts I sent them as “scrap” because their laws required them to give the government the value of the parts while they were in the Ukraine and Scrap parts have zero value. But the FAA says parts deemed scrap have to be mutilated/disposed of. Not to worry, they said, when you get the parts back, “just throw the scrap tags away and we’ll mail you the real certs in a few weeks”
I was never so glad to have my machine come back on line.
The invaders are at the US southern border, not in Ukraine.
Russia is Ukraine and Europe’s problem, and only tangentially ours. Let them solve it first. If they fail, then we can consider stepping in. Even then, I would be hard pressed to see a US national interest in protecting Ukraine.
We have our own problems, we don’t need to involve ourselves in this...yet.
Ukraine has corrupted our politicians and continues to corrupt them. Why should we worry about Ukraine’s “territorial integrity?”
We shouldn’t.
The Ukraine is more corrupt than Russia, my ex girlfriend went home to Kiev to visit her mother in the year 2000.
A custom official saw she was headed to America, on her way out and pulled her aside.
She said: How much? Got an offer, made the bribe and proceeded to her plane.
The Ukraine is a shithole country, that Ukrainian nationalists like Vindman can “die for.” not American soldiers who’ve been battling Islamic nut jobs for the last 20 years.
Also, remember when dealing with neoconservative foreign policy stupidity. Don’t rationalize or put these jokers on a pedestal, they have the historical acumen of a retarded mongoloid.
Every act of diplomacy is “Munich” “appeasement” “Chamberlain” etc. Rhetorical nonsense and misinterpretation of history is the neoconservative “calling card.”
That part is true... absolutely.. but they hated to see the man who did what you said.. be a hit in Europe and his ability to take over a room...he’s a tall man and large frame...he towers over others.. and that is a daily reminder who he is.
I have tall sons and it does make a difference.
They go after his voters to try to belittle him... They should give up......
( a side note, have you ever researched Trump way back when he was an unknown? He had a personality that is not learned... it’s born in them.. he liked people.. he liked to help people and when a boy needed to be taken to a hospital in another state, Trump used his plane and took him.. he did such acts frequently.. never turned down someone he knew needed help. That personality is born in a person... I have a son who has that.. and is loved by everyone... because he cares about others. but of course, there are the haters because they don’t have it...
They had a plan in Washington and they were close to getting it...they had been on a mission which excluded all the people they were supposed to serve. They have tried everything to get rid of him.... nothing has worked.
Bannon has been going after the election and getting the stubborn states to do an audit.... delays and more delays.. Bannon tells them he will never quit... so they went after him...
ONE day, Trump will be back on the seat of power and there will be hell to pay and firings to be had... I’m counting on it!
Neither did obama and biden... obama lied and sold Ukraine out. Biden made some family money from them.
You didn’t need hindsight to know the 2003 war was a criminal hoax and catastrophic folly. FR was insane in those days, but I’m proud to say I was never suckered by the neocons.
