I know many of you/ us don't want the United States involved in a war over Ukraine. I agree, though I believe there would be no invasion of Ukraine if Donald Trump were president.
I also love Tucker Carlson, he's the most worthwhile host on Fox.
However, I challenge anyone to justify the fanciful version of facts Tucker Carlson just put on with the help of Tulsi Gabbard.
The clear news today is that Joe Biden, for at least the second time, unequivocally announced that a Russian invasion of Ukraine cannot and will not be militarily opposed by the United States. Biden has practically invited Putin to invade, and the only action we will take are economic sanctions.
Ignoring this reality, Tucker instead said tonight we are "on the brink" of war with Russia in Ukraine. He didn't report on anything Biden said. Instead, his entire premise was that there are "some" Americans in Ukraine,including military personnell, and that if any of them get killed in the invasion "is it worth the risk?" Of WW3.
Folks, Biden just told all Americans to get out of Ukraine in 48 hours and stated we will NOT rescue them after that. So what the H is Tucker talking about?
This was followed by so much defeatist anti American, pro Russian propaganda, it made me sick.
Gabbard complained we are putting troops "in Europe". Not Ukraine, Europe.
She also said sanctions are a "modern day siege". OK so if Russia invades, even sanctions will be an act of war - by us.
We were also told the US cannot defeat Russia because we couldn't defeat even the Taliban.
And, Ukraine is an evil dictatorship unworthy of our help. In fact, they deserve being conquered by Russia. After all they're right next door.
Tulsi Gabbard has always been a kook on foreign policy, and sadly Tucker is her soulmate.
Whenever Tucker presents this issue, he flat out lies about what's going on. There is no move to fight Russia in Ukraine, Biden has been spineless and pathetic in (accidentally?) signaling that Putin can successfully roll over Ukraine.
I don't know why Tucker is so insistent that Russia must have Ukraine and there must be zero consequences. And that ANY opposition to Russia equals an attack on Russia.
My most charitable guess is that Tucker is an absolute Libertarian and isolationist, and that's a defensible position for discussion.
But that doesn't explain why he presents the surrounding facts in such a dishonest manner.
If any of you want foreign policy by Tulsi Gabbard, you can have her. She is a kook on international relations and always has been. We used to recognize that here.
Weakness leads to war, and that's why Ukraine is about to be invaded. Not because we "encircled" Russia.
And finally, DJT would not have tolerated Russian invasions in Europe, and who here believes Putin would invade if Trump were president? This is about Biden's weakness, an obvious fact Tucker is ignoring.
300 American troops can be in any country on earth, and it’s not a pretext to war by us when Russia decides to invade that country. There is no pretext, it’s just a war launched by Russia. Russia can avoid that terrible “pretext” by just staying within its own borders. Ukraine is no threat to Russia and for that matter America is no threat to Russia.
Sorry if this is off topic, but I think this would be interesting. I have the unfortunate experience of being around a rabid Biden supporter. All he could do preceding the 2020 election was to spew CNN and MSNBC lies about Trump. He's been strangely quiet recently about all politics, buy today he said if Trump was President then Russia would not be doing that. I nearly feel off my seat. I hope this occuring with a lot of people.
Who cares what foreigners do or don’t to one another. Our nation is being attacked by its own government. The is a complete irrelevancy.
It’s crap the other way around as well.
Our government,the politicians and functionaries that inhabit it, are probably every bit as corrupt as Ukraine. Who are we to cast stones at any country for that matter on that count? Biden the corruptor and Ukraine the corruptee.
Exactly! I believe the democrats are working with the drug cartels, and that Biden and Harris should be removed from office for opening the border in violation of law.
I also believe Biden is sacrificing Ukraine because that’s the site of evidence against him and Hunter.
Plus he’s a disgusting idiot surrounded by radicals.
Neither the border or Ukraine would have these problems under Trump.
Russia is destroying our southern border?
Those cabbage eating bastards!
If we make it to the mid term elections it’s the only to defuse the stupid son of a bitch.
Purge every democrat that’s up for election this could be our last election if no change happens.
We will bury you and never fire a shot.

You know very well what I mean. There are no real US interests in the relationship of Russia and its European neighbors. The frontiers of the US are existential.
