Tucker goes there — predicts a hot war with Russia (and maybe China) leading to wartime crushing of political dissent
American Thinker ^ | 16 Mar, 2023 | Thomas Lifson

Love him or hate him, Tucker Carlson has become the most important political analyst of our era. The release to him of suppressed J6 Capitol footage that contradicted the Democrat/media narrative dominated political news until Carlson's questionnaire on Ukraine policy to the potential GOP presidential field knocked it out of the headlines. Not since Woodward and Bernstein dominated the news with Watergate has a media source produced results that focused the national spotlight so completely as Mr. Tucker Carlson. Unsurprisingly, many are the progressives who want to see him knocked off the air.

Last night, he began his top-rated hour-long program with the following startling statement: "You're going to get a hot war with Russia — and China — whether you want one or not."

He followed with analysis of the Black Sea drone incident and the calls for retaliation and escalation from Lindsey Graham and "his friends in the war party" that would likely lead to outright war. And wartime, he noted at the end of the segment, leads to extraordinary suppression of political dissent.

[T]he second we actually go to war with Russia, they will use that as a pretext to crush all dissent. Dissent is not allowed in wartime. And that's what this is really about (in addition to their personal enrichment). It's about changing the domestic politics of the United States. The second we can all say that we are at war with Russia, not 'in effect' but in reality in a hot war which is what they want, that's the moment you are no longer allowed to express your opinion. And the penalty is jail during war.

He linked the timing of the incident to the war skepticism over Ukraine voiced by many of the GOP respondents to his presidential field questionnaire. He also claimed...

Faux will never allow anything that goes against the official narrative to be shown.

To make it work—The Neo-Cans who want war need a “Lusitania Moment” a horrible “Pearl Harbor” or “9-11” event that sees a lot of American’s Dead. Only that will do the trick. Something they can blame on Putin—and it must be Americans who die. Must be unique and terrible. Where can’t it be? New York, too important, same with Washington DC. Maybe a city in Texas could be nuked by the CIA or a massive gas attack —the cry can be “Remember Houston” or Miami. Kill two birds with one stone. Or Assassinate Trump and pin it on an Iranian patsy. Or better yet—Biden or Harris so they can be replaced by Rice or Michelle. They believe a war will unify the American People behind them—and it may have worked long ago—NOT NOW. Too many have seen the truth.

A hot war with Russia and/or China is unthinkable.

“Dissent is not allowed in wartime.”

I think Tucker’s confusing the US for Russia.

he has NOT released the tapes given to him

I think the Murdoch kiddies and Paul Ryan shut down Tucker after the reaction to the first night. It is not his network and he probably wants to keep his job. I hope he is keeping his powder dry and will try to condense the videos to the best cuts for the next time he gets a chance.

Not long ago the same would have been said about cops watching as routers burn cities, a nation being forced to wear face diapers, trannies parading half-naked in front of little kids and their mommies, and a Supreme Court nominee who can’t define a woman being confirmed.

Since we’re so screwed, nothing is unthinkable.

Well.... yeah.Anyone with one eye, half a brain, and one brain cell that is paying attention to what is happening can see what is happening. The Neo Cons, Globalists, Biden Worshipers, Soros worshipers singularity and collectively are determined to get the United States of America and the Russian Federation, for reasons known to them, in a full blown nuclear war. After a time, they united in wedlock in order to consecrate their power. It is only a matter of time until they get their way. And their prayers will be answered.

Why would Xi’s puppet go to war with Xi?

I agree Biden is a Chicom puppet.

But I don’t follow your logic.

I think you mean confusing the US for the USSR. Because the USA certainly does not have show trials or gulags.

"A war would be better than the pandemic in clamping down on civil liberties"...

If you hadn't noticed, our rights were steadily decreasing long before the scamdemic hit our shores. The country could not survive a full-blown out war against Russia, China, Iran, and whoever might toss their hat into the ring. We couldn't survive a war militarily, physically, or economically. This isn't WWII. There are no Eisenhowers, McAuliffes, or Pattons to lead the troops, and there's a potato in the White House.

No, I most certainly mean Russia. Political dissent during wartime is still illegal in today’s Russia. Many people are currently in jail for it at the moment.

It’s not unthinkable any longer. The balance of power and MAD theory have been unilaterally and arbitrarily revoked by the insane globalists in DC and their co opted allies, the Bushite neocons. They casually speak of a kinder, gentler WWII Eastern Front type meat grinder conventional war with the Russians as an acceptable risk. I’ve been warning of the reinstatement of the draft. Once the Uke cannon fodder is exhausted, assuming DC doesn’t escalate this across the nuclear threshold, a simple majority vote by this warmongering congress will give them enough American boys for all their wars.

On this, Tucker has slipped down the rabbit hole. As during the Cold War, the US and NATO have compelling reasons not to go to war directly with Russia, just as Russia has compelling reasons not to go to war with them.

Tucker runs hot and cold; sometimes he’s hitting a grand slam, other times he’s striking out without swinging.

He can be a sober realist, or an unhinged alarmist and sensationalist. He is, after all, a showman; which news “journalists” have become since the 1990s.

He is entertaining, though; and, at the end of the day, that is what his corporate bosses want.
