I know many of you/ us don't want the United States involved in a war over Ukraine. I agree, though I believe there would be no invasion of Ukraine if Donald Trump were president.
I also love Tucker Carlson, he's the most worthwhile host on Fox.
However, I challenge anyone to justify the fanciful version of facts Tucker Carlson just put on with the help of Tulsi Gabbard.
The clear news today is that Joe Biden, for at least the second time, unequivocally announced that a Russian invasion of Ukraine cannot and will not be militarily opposed by the United States. Biden has practically invited Putin to invade, and the only action we will take are economic sanctions.
Ignoring this reality, Tucker instead said tonight we are "on the brink" of war with Russia in Ukraine. He didn't report on anything Biden said. Instead, his entire premise was that there are "some" Americans in Ukraine,including military personnell, and that if any of them get killed in the invasion "is it worth the risk?" Of WW3.
Folks, Biden just told all Americans to get out of Ukraine in 48 hours and stated we will NOT rescue them after that. So what the H is Tucker talking about?
This was followed by so much defeatist anti American, pro Russian propaganda, it made me sick.
Gabbard complained we are putting troops "in Europe". Not Ukraine, Europe.
She also said sanctions are a "modern day siege". OK so if Russia invades, even sanctions will be an act of war - by us.
We were also told the US cannot defeat Russia because we couldn't defeat even the Taliban.
And, Ukraine is an evil dictatorship unworthy of our help. In fact, they deserve being conquered by Russia. After all they're right next door.
Tulsi Gabbard has always been a kook on foreign policy, and sadly Tucker is her soulmate.
Whenever Tucker presents this issue, he flat out lies about what's going on. There is no move to fight Russia in Ukraine, Biden has been spineless and pathetic in (accidentally?) signaling that Putin can successfully roll over Ukraine.
I don't know why Tucker is so insistent that Russia must have Ukraine and there must be zero consequences. And that ANY opposition to Russia equals an attack on Russia.
My most charitable guess is that Tucker is an absolute Libertarian and isolationist, and that's a defensible position for discussion.
But that doesn't explain why he presents the surrounding facts in such a dishonest manner.
If any of you want foreign policy by Tulsi Gabbard, you can have her. She is a kook on international relations and always has been. We used to recognize that here.
Weakness leads to war, and that's why Ukraine is about to be invaded. Not because we "encircled" Russia.
And finally, DJT would not have tolerated Russian invasions in Europe, and who here believes Putin would invade if Trump were president? This is about Biden's weakness, an obvious fact Tucker is ignoring.
Ukraine is supposed to be evil but Putin and Russia are good guys? What crap.
Obama and Hillary wanted a war with Russia bad. They are running this show, not Joe.
Biden is a useful idiot, being played by a tyrannical genius.
“And, Ukraine is an evil dictatorship unworthy of our help.”
As opposed to our pure as the driven snow uncorruptible government.
If Putin somehow justifies invading Ukraine, it stands to reason the the USA should liberate Venezuela and Cuba by military force.
not Ukraine, the RAT’s nest is bout to catch fire and desperately trying to turn the heat elsewhere till it cools down
and if he starts a war in the process??? well, so be it...
The evil scumbag in chief will go to war in an attempt to boost his poll numbers. It’s what demonrats always do.
Yep. He will go to war and send other people's children, while his child makes millions colluding with foreign governments. This is not what any of us signed up for.
Biden’s politburo needs to change the scenery for the November elections. If they can promote even a small strike on the US they can maybe cancel the elections. If they manage to do that elections won’t come back except under tightly controlled federal auspices.
Which is certainly why now is a good time for Putin, as that won’t happen with the phony FedGov we have now.
RE: “He will go to war and send other people’s children, while his child makes millions colluding with foreign governments.”
Wars are started by old men/women in dark suits. Wars are fought by young men/women in bright uniforms, who suffer & die in the mud.
Ukraine has been the source of some really massive corruption of the Bidens and probably a good part of the government, less by far than China but probably a lot more than third place.
This is all wag the dog…..
Saarland, Rhineland, Austria, Sudetenland, Czechoslovakia, Poland...any of them ring a bell?
I don’t see any reason to tell the Russians what we might or might not do.
If you ever get to go to Eastern Europe the further east you go the worse the conditions become. Ukraine is a mess, believe me. They had the worst Nazis of the lot. Is Russia the good player? No, not if they don’t stay within their borders. Maybe the same applies to us and to those invading us on our southern border.
If we let that happen, it's on us.
I don’t think we have to be hardasses with the Russians, but I also don’t think we should show them weakness.
You left out the part where Pentagon spokesman John Kirby confirmed today there are about 300 U.S. troops in Ukraine with no plans to pull them out. That is what Tucker is concerned about, that they are being left by Biden as a pretext for war if they are harmed in a Russian invasion.
