Tucker Carlson's Isolationism Jumps The Shark - Guests Talking About An Invasion Of Russia
Vanity

Posted on 01/20/2022 6:27:05 PM PST by Williams

Hope this vanity to General/ Chat is not too intrusive.

I love Tucker Carlson, his analysis and his bravery, to the extent he's the only Fox show I watch every night.

However, Tucker's opposition to any possible (even imagined) American military action is extreme.

Tucker is against America going to war with Russia over Ukraine. That's ok, but so is everyone, including the Biden Administration. Biden made it clear the American/ NATO reaction to a Russian invasion, would be limited to sanctions.

Yesterday, everyone but Tucker heard Biden practically invite Russia into Ukraine. But Tucker still claimed on yesterday's show that Biden wanted a war with Russia over Ukraine.

Today, he continued his parade of guests who said America wants to invade Russia, and that America will be defeated. I'm not exaggerating, his guest tonight was saying that NATO was created to prevent war, and that the Europeans will not support an invasion of Russia and we'll fail. That's crazy, no one is discussing an invasion of Russia.

Tucker NEVER acknowledges the only thing going on right now is a threatened Russian invasion of Ukraine.

Tucker and his guests keep touting Russia's "strategic interests" which justify invading Ukraine. This is supposedly because Ukraine is about to join NATO, something which is no where near happening and which is a pretext Putin is raising to justify annexing Ukraine.

Prior to this crisis, Tucker had guests claiming we wanted to invade Iran, and who said Iran would defeat the United States.

I respect Tucker's non-intervention beliefs. I accept that some elitists want endless wars. But that doesn't justify lying about a planned US war in Russia, or even in Ukraine.

It also doesn't justify echoing the old Soviet/ Russian ploy of claiming Russia has to attack other countries in "self defense", because the West is "encircling" Russia.

The only thing being done to support Ukraine is giving them weapons to defend themselves - and threatening SANCTIONS. This was also the Trump policy.

Why does Tucker oppose economic sanctions to deter military invasions in Europe? Well he doesn't exactly oppose them, he ignores them and instead argues against his strawman of a planned WWIII with Russia. No one is threatening that.

I'm sorry, but his guests on this topic are anti-American apologists for Russia.

There's an obvious counter argument, that it's a bad thing to encourage Russian military attacks in Europe. Tucker never even acknowledges that argument.

We have no security interest in Ukraine.

Our southern border is wide open, that’s your security threat.

Do you know how the first Gulf War started?
We told Iraq that we didn’t care if they invaded Kuwait.

While I agree with TC on a fundamental level on many subjects, I find his delivery and fake laugh somewhat off-putting. Occasionally he is completely off the mark.

Biden and his puppet masters may well end up screwing things up so badly that the US dollar loses its place as THE world reserve currency. Don’t dismiss that possibility. It would result in a rapid acceleration in the ongoing impoverishment of America and Americans. Of course, that may be the actual intention of the Biden controllers.

Our government is more concerned with Ukraine’s border than our own.

My Son is a Major in the US Army with two extended tours in Iraq - I don’t want him or any of his fellow soldiers to set foot in the Ukraine - especially because of a diplomatic screw-up by Brain Dead Biden.

The US needs to go to war with at least the Mexican Cartels to stop the Invasion.

Obama didn't send troops to Ukraine. He sent them blankets.

Obama's puppet won't either.

Sadly, I think it is his actual laugh. Despite the laugh, I love the man.

Carlson wasn’t saying that Biden wanted to go to war with Russia, he was saying the political establishment standing behind him does... especially left-wing media. I doubt Tucker believes Biden is doing much independent thinking at all.
