I hate AOC but Tucker truly jumped the shark with this last night.

The premise was that an even bigger commie than AOC screamed at her at a meeting that she’s causing WW3 and we’ll all die in a nuclear war because she voted for aid to Ukraine.

This was followed by attacking Zelensky for wearing a t shirt while asking for money from a bunker.

No mention of Russia losing the war, no mention that there is a war which is why they ask for money.

Tucker Carlson has become a butt hurt anti Vietnam war 60’s protestor. He’s going to help Russia win that war no matter what it takes, and he’s furious that he’s been embarrassed so far.

This follows the embarrassing show devoted to the “brilliant” Ye West, who obviously has mental problems.

Tucker’s premise was that everyone in Washington wants WW3 (they obviously don’t) and that at the very least AOC, as a progressive commie, should oppose the war.

So Tucker is angry that the comunists should be opposing the war. That sure makes him a dusappointed leftist.

Maybe everybody just supports aid to Ukraine.

You are totally misreading Tucker Carlson, who has become a recurring burr under the saddle for those who are unwilling to seek the greater reality. Sure, he is a scion of the Eastern Establishment, and at times a pretentious and bumptious buffoon, by then, nobody’s perfect. He strikes out across territory that many other opinion influencers seem to fear to tread.

Calling out AOC for her apparent taste for nuclear war and preferences for the victory of insignificant Ukraine over the massed armies of the Russian Federation, as Tucker has, reveals how totally incompatible these two position are. The use of atomic weapons against Imperial Japan was a knockout punch to mercifully as possible draw to a conclusion a war that had grown increasingly senseless, but use of nuclear weaponry is not and never should be used as a first resort. Makes a great threatening gesture, but actual deployment only invites massive retaliation if the opposing warring faction is not knocked out immediately. Mutually Assured Destruction was a policy of desperation, but with even semi-rational people, it is an active deterrent.

Tucker is right, only neocons support the war. The US has zero interests in Ukraine and thusly should have no business with the war. Everything thing the US does in regards to Ukraine is counter to our interests. It spends money we do not have. That deepens inflation and further wrecks the economy. It depletes our military weapon stockpiles. That makes us weak. Biden is draining the SPR because we have prolonged the war. That makes us weak. It adverts our attention from the invasion on our southern border and from China and other real adversaries.

Only morons would follow the foreign policy and military misadventures of a demented, low-IQ’d, corrupt piece of excrement. Biden eff’s up everything he touches. He has never been right about any major issue. We should be doing the exact opposite of everything he wants.

If you support the war, then you support Biden. Only mental midgets do that.

Although I think Tucker can be a little too expressive at times, he is not wrong about the premise of his commentary. AOC is a phony and a hypocrite - like most current Democrats. She is being called out by her constituents for being a phony.

Regarding the Ukraine, I grew up around a lot of Ukrainians and have Ukrainian friends. I can’t stand Putin. That said, this is a complicated war between two nations with lots of corruption in each. IMHO we somewhat solicited this war, and the time to have been involved was very early on before there was an invasion. Further, that involvement should have been behind the scenes - not the way it was done.

Tucker is also correct about the risk of nuclear escalation. We have very poor leadership.

Everyone clearly doesn’t support more money to Ukraine. Those in Washington pretend that is thr case by silencing decent. In modern Americs silencing decent is as American as Apple pie. Iraq, Syria, Ukraine, Lybia. Always for the war even those the majority have been against all of them.

Complete nonsense, along with the rest of your post.

Tucker won’t be asking AOC for a letter of recommendation for his kid since Hunter Biden has that covered.
