Tucker Carlson: A Consistent Theme Of American Foreign Policy Is That It Is Always The Christians Who Suffer

Tucker Carlson criticizes the United States foreign policy and the persecution of Christians in the world:

TUCKER CARLSON:

A consistent but almost never noted theme of American foreign policy is that it is always the Christians who suffer. When there's a war abroad that the United States is funding, it is Christians who tend to die disproportionately.

And this goes back a long way, 60 years, really, to Vietnam, where Catholics in that country were massacred. But it's accelerated. So, for example, during the more than a decade the US government spent occupying Iraq, the Christian the ancient Christian community of Iraq was completely devastated. Nine out of ten of them are no longer there. They're gone.

That was an effect of our foreign policy, but it was almost never noted in the United States and almost never, ever even mentioned by Christian clergy in this country, many of whom supported that war in that occupation. Why is that?

-snip-

But what about Gaza? What about the entire region in the Middle East where, of course, there's very intense fighting going on. Many Christian churches, the United States, particularly evangelical churches, support that. But there is virtually never a word about the Christians who live there. The ancient Christian community in Gaza, the West Bank in Israel proper.

-snip-

If Christian leaders won't stand up for the lives of Christians, why have them in the first place? And that's probably a good question. So you would think that in Congress there were there are many self-professed Christians. Somebody might be piping up on behalf of their brethren in the Holy Land.

There is one primary factor for where Christians face the most prosecution, and you can see it on a map. The main outliers here are N.Korea, Mexico, and Columbia. Pretty much everywhere else is consistent with one thing, and I it's not US foreign policy.

More anti Tucker post...

And regardless of people’s comments, Tucker did not say Israel is committing war crimes against Christians.

Breitbart

Pollak: Tucker Carlson Interviews Anti-Israel Pastor from Palestinian-run Bethlehem

Carlson added his own commentary, criticizing “self-professed Christians” in the U.S. who are “sending money to oppress Christians” in the Palestinian territories. He added that some “evangelical leaders care much more about the highly secular government of Israel than they care about Christian communities in the Middle East.”

I missed mentioning those, but in China all religion is a problem to the state (including Christianity and Islam, just ask the Uyghurs), and India has a significant Muslim minority

Carlson agreed that the U.S. should not support a government that is guilty of “blowing up churches and killing Christians,” which Israel is not doing. (Two churches and a convent have been damaged in Gaza as the result of the war, and one was badly damaged, killing several people inside, but that was the result of nearby airstrikes, not intentional targeting.)

Why on earth would you think that the persecution that Christians face in the Middle East isn’t a result of US foreign policy?

There was a large Christian population in Iraq until the US war to overthrow Saddam.

There were large Christian populations all over the middle east until 1947 and the formation of Israel. That is when the Christian persecution in the ME started and it was a direct result of US foreign policy.

And, why is Marcus on a jihad against Tucker?

Here's why -- Tucker repeatedly calls out the corruption in our own government, including within Deep State:

Tucker Carlson: For the Third Time in Three Consecutive Cycles, Secretive Federal Agencies are Trying to Rig Our Presidential Election – This Is What They Call ‘Democracy’

TUCKER CARLSON: “A few years ago, we learned conclusively that, in fact, the FBI and the federal intel agencies, the dozen or more federal intel agencies we have, for some reason, had been working secretly against Donald Trump’s presidential campaign. Trump had whispered about this, then shouted about it, was roundly denounced as a conspiracy nut, a lunatic. But in the end, he was vindicated.

“It was true. These agencies spied on Trump, and they leaked some of what they’d learned to the media, which used it against Trump. Then these agencies concocted false stories about Trump. They tried to crush Trump completely in 2016, and then for the entire course of his presidency. Then they did the same thing in 2020 during the presidential election, and they’re doing it still. They’re trying to put him in prison for the rest of his life.

“So, if you take three steps back, what you have here is what we’re seeing now. For the third time in three consecutive cycles, secretive federal agencies are trying to rig our presidential election. This is what the democrats refer to as “democracy,” and they’re trying to defend it.

“But, of course, it’s the opposite of democracy. It’s, in fact, the end of democracy in any semblance of a constitutional republic we ever had. If you have a secret police force threatening people, spying on them, and working, secretly, the levers of political power, then you don’t have a democracy. You have no control over, really, anything as a voter.”

And, how things in Ukraine today, Marky?

Chasov Yar: Russians Attack Head on, Develop Two Pincer Movements to Envelop the Ukrainian Defenders

Last night, Ukraine was targeted yet again by another one in a seemingly endless series of massive strikes with missiles, drones and glide bombs.

As it has been the case lately, the strikes seem to have primarily targeted the energy grid – including in the capital Kiev.

Watch at link: Tripolskaya power plant near Kiev on fire after strike.

The Tripolskaya thermal power plant is the largest in the Kiev region, and it supplied energy to Kiev, Cherkasskaya and Zhytomyr regions. According to Ukrainian officials, it has been completely destroyed.

But perhaps the most relevant developments of the last few days has been on the ground assault targeting the fortified key city of Chasov Yar, in the Donetsk oblast.

Russian Federation forces have held to their foothold on the eastern outskirts of the city and are now in the process of expanding the bridgehead.

It’s the neocon warmongers who don’t care about Christians.

Tucker and his boss Rupert Murdoch helped steal the election for Biden.

Radio silence from Tucker on The Steal from Nov 2020 - Jan 2021 until Biden was inaugurated (except for his Trump hate texts to his producer).
