Tucker Carlson blasted Iran hawks in the Washington establishment Friday, saying they have wanted a war with Iran for decades and that they may have finally gotten it thanks to President Trump ordering a drone strike that killed Iranian general Qassem Soleimani Thursday.
"What happened yesterday wasn't just another symbolic bombing," Carlson warned on "Tucker Carlson Tonight." "It was a pivot point. Neocons in Washington understood that immediately."

"Yes, Soleimani was linked to the deaths of Americans. Nobody mourns his passing. But Mexico and China are also linked to the deaths of Americans. Each has flooded our country with narcotics from which tens of thousands of Americans die every single year," Carlson argued. "Not that anyone in power cares. So does that mean we get to bomb Oaxaca? Can we start assassinating generals in the [Chinese] People's Liberation Army?"
Carlson said America's leaders should explain how Soleimani's death makes the country "richer and secure."
"There are an awful lot of bad people in this world. We can't kill them all. It's not our job," Carlson said, adding: "It's pretty clear that things could start to move in the wrong direction pretty quickly, we're praying they don't, but they could."

But it would be a lot of fun trying.
But it helps to try.

We can’t afford to have a reputation of “Forgive and Forget” when it comes to certain types of bloodthirsty international acts.
Sorry Tuckmeister.
Appeasement never works.
Tucker should have spent the 80’s listening and learning from President Reagan instead of getting high and following around the Grateful Dead.
If you have ten holes in your boat, are you better off plugging seven or eight of them, or none of them?
Is Tucker a “Rules Based” International Order devotee?
Excellent rhetorical question.
There are an awful lot of terrorists in the world.
We can’t pay billions to them all.
There, fixed it.
Biden drove up the price of oil to finance Putin’s war. He gave Putin big money.
Biden gave billions to terrorists to free hostages. The terrorists seized more hostages.
Is this entry level 101 education? or is it necessary to have a PhD to understand this?
Biden gave Putin the greenlight to invade Ukraine in a “minor incursion” and Putin and his crappy army fumbled the ball.
Macbeth, Act 1, Scene 7
If it were done when 'tis done, then 'twere well
It were done quickly: if the assassination
Could trammel up the consequence, and catch
With his surcease success; that but this blow
Might be the be-all and the end-all here,
But here, upon this bank and shoal of time,
We'ld jump the life to come. But in these cases
We still have judgment here; that we but teach
Bloody instructions, which, being taught, return
To plague the inventor: this even-handed justice
Commends the ingredients of our poison'd chalice
To our own lips.
EdD like Jill…
Soleimani was droned like a dog.
Russia may be a gas station but the USA is increasingly an arms bazaar.
He’s been terribly misguided on this.
I have never watched the Fox Channel again after they fired him.
But on this he’s absolutely wrong.
He needs a good editor or producer.
No one makes the right call 100% of the time. Tucker is more right than he is wrong on most issues. I don’t agree with everything anyone says blindly. I use my own judgement.
Why the hell not?
