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.

I think the population was something like 25 Million when Carter dumped the Shah over human rights.

But Iran is run by men, so they’ve had healthy, maybe too healthy, population growth since.

I have suspicions that Tucker Carlson’s audience has been dwindling.

Well, based on the FR comments above, he just lost a bunch of viewers.

Helping Israel take out the garbage in Iran is not an endless war. The endless wars were due to equal parts incompetence and blatant government corruption. We were fighting occupation wars in completely hostile parts of the world with crazy ROIs, and the misguided notion that we could win the “hearts and minds” of the people there. Then there were the perverse interests of the nation-building grifters and The MIC profiteers who wanted the war profits to go on forever.

Trump does need to tread carefully If we do help Israel because all of Washington will be working for maximum military entanglement and a chance to turn public opinion against Trump.

Tucker: 92 million. How could you not know that?

I don’t think it takes more than a few Hundred to collect the nuclear material, place it into a explosive device, and detonate it, in say New York, via a container. After Oct 7th, which is clearly Iranian sponsored, you have to ask yourself if the Iranians would do it?

92 million people is a ton to displace and find food and shelter with no power, no water, and no food. This cuts both ways.

My sentiments too. When American service people die in Bibi’s war, the shine is going to leave the apple.

When you disagree with someone’s point of view your choices are:

1. Make compelling arguments explaining your view.

2. Accuse them of being subverted by enemy propaganda.

Choose wisely.

This thread is depressing. So many people in lockstep with the deep state globalists. We’re never going to have America first. 90% on FR support the deep state wars over and over.

It’s a cheap debate trick. Memorize a bunch of random facts then pounce when your opponent doesn’t know one. I’m surprised Ted, as a seasoned debater didn’t have a ready reply.

I am more shocked by the FARA document that Laura Loomer released last night, showing that the government of Qatar paid Tucker Carlson $200,000 to oppose military action against Iran. This guy has literally sold his soul to the Devil.

Tucker :”I hate Trump passionately.” He is a little nerd whp sits in DC and blabs, while a REAL American Patriot, Charlie Kirk, goes on campuses and throws the left’s crap into there faces.

The country he seeks to topple????

Toppling the rogue islamofascist government of Iran, which Israel is doing, is not toppling a country. This should have been done years ago - Iran has been the menace of the Middle East for a long time, since Jimmy Carter failed to save the Shah and allowed the thugs to take over.

Now, they are inches away from having nuclear weapons and you know damn well they’re willing to use them. They don’t care who they kill because they’re brainwashed by their false religion into believing that killing those with whom they disagree is justified. Kind of like democrats.

Iran can NOT have nuclear weapons - period.
