Tucker: How many people live in Iran?
Cruz: I don't know the population.
Tucker: You don't know the population of the country you seek to topple?
Cruz: How many people live in Iran?
Tucker: 92 million. How could you not know that?
Brutal.
Who cares?
What does the population of Iran even matter?
And I bet Tucker couldn’t name the Capitol of South Dakota off the top of his head.
Or Alabama.
I would think most fair-minded people would agree that a powerful US senator proposing regime change in a Middle Eastern country would have at least some background knowledge of that country and the possible repercussions of the policy he is advancing.
While I'm no fan of Tucker Carlson, he is not proposing regime change in Iran, nor is he a policymaker. So the onus is not on him here.
The questions Tucker Carlson asked were substantive. Cruz's answers were just....bad
Hey thanks. I don’t see “endless” wars happening under Trump.
I have always been sympathetic to people who get asked questions when they have their guard down (like those “Jaywalking” episodes where they ask people on the street some easy to answer question, and they are disengaged...when they answer, they are flustered and screw up easy answers and it makes them look stupid)
“But Iran is run by men, so they’ve had healthy, maybe too healthy, population growth since.”
Time to get off your Russia/Iran horse!
Cannot deal with REALITY, can we?
As usual, you are the ONLY PERSON on this site that had a problem with my posting. Seems that everyone but you is able to understand and agree with it. I wonder why?
“Seems that everyone but you is able to understand and agree with it.”
The only one I see agreeing with you is that Putin lover delta7!
Brutal? There’s nothing “brutal” about it - it is just stupid, irrelevant trivia with zero relevance or substance to the discussion at hand.
This makes as much sense as when Nancy Pelosi criticized President Trump for not visiting countries on a foreign tour in alphabetical order. Utterly nonsensical.
My figured Iran’s population was 73 millions. This is what I heard a few years ago. My guess was probably closer that Ted Cruzes
