Tucker defends and agrees with Trump 10 times more than he doesn’t. But he always opposes what he feels is a deep state desire for perpetual war.

Defend him if you like but personally, he makes me sick to my stomach. HE HAS TURNED LEFT!

Uh Tucker’s military “expert” is saying Trump must leave Iraq or his presidency will be destroyed. Just said “we’ve lost our minds”. I think this guy is paid by Iran.

“Has Tucker gone to the darkside?? “

No. He’s a bit of a libertarian, and is anti-neocon.

Word is there are NO American casualties!


Given that I would think an economic nuke is the best response. Massive sanctions. Best to be unpredictable and hit them militarily at the time of President Trump’s choosing.

The second the Shah was kicked out of Iran, that was the end of Iran..My friend and her family fled Iran when the Shah was kicked out. Iran used to be a democracy, a sovereign country, the second the Hoomani came in that was it, the end of Iran

Symbolic attack? US should not play into the concept of proportionality. Hit them hard and big.>>>>>>>>>>>>

What an opportunity.

Take out every nuclear development site, right down to their missile manufacturing/ testing facilities.

Flatten the lot.

Bunker busters HO!

“How popular would the mullahs be with a cold, damp and hungry populace, unable to provide much power for them to live, merely survive?”

Much more than they are now. Don’t you pay attention to the history of war?

Never was a big fan of Tucker. He’s like that smarmy honors student we all knew in high school. He’s really impressed with himself for how clever he is, but he lacks common sense.

Tucker isn’t a leftist but on the subject of Iran and the Middle East he has become quite extreme, if not insane.

I wonder if an over through could e in the works. I believe most Iranians want to live in a country that is safe and at peace. It may be an opportunity for those folks to take the lead.
