Citizen Free Press on X: "Tucker Carlson calls out Nikki Haley, Ben Shapiro, and every other person calling for war: "I've got 4 draft-age children. If you're playing recklessly, fast and loose with their lives, then I have a right to despise you and I do." https://t.co/kaJj7DLfPd" / X (twitter.com) HAs a couple of very good points. Spend a min and see of you agree.
Aww poor Tucker, We had Vietnam looking at us on graduation day. Hell of a future bubba Put a passion mark on my round brown pardnah!
F*cker seems pretty sanguine about Russia's right to Invade and occupy countries that Carlson's delicate children don't have any risk of being drafted to fight for...which makes Carlson despicable. It is clear from Carlson's passivity in his much vaunted interview with Putin, that Carlson is Putin's "bitch'. The 2hr and some minutes speech by Putin was not an interview, it was a monologue apologetic of Russian imperialism.
Caught what is 90 Billion bill is for ? Screw Trump down the years : https://twitter.com/TuckerCarlson/highlights
Fuck Ukraine it's almost like the higher ups don't even care if they lose, they just want to take as much money with them as they can, stuff it in their duffle bags and scram. The rank and file and militia groups are going to keep fighting because they hate Russia for good reason.
Yes, the USA has a well trodden track record of not accounting effectively for direct cash aid to allies that they are supporting against State and Non-State actors who are harming the USA's international interests. It has to be said, that not all of the aid is direct cash aid, but munitions and equipment which will enable Ukraine to defend their territorial sovereignty. I guess back in the day, there would have been many US citizens who similarly said said: Fuck the Sudetenland, not our battle; Fuck Czechoslovakia not our battle; , Fuck Poland, not our battle; Fuck France, not our battle Fuck Yugoslavia, not our battle; Fuck Greece, not our battle; Fuck Russia, not our battle....until..... OH FUCK!!! JAPAN! Appeasement may work for the moment, (Which gave Britain and France a brief breathing space to ramp up rearmament) But it is no solution to rapacious imperialism which has further territorial ambitions to realise.
How much is Putin's poodle like Hanoi Jane? https://youtube.com/shorts/PvccITMh5S4?si=HiUeLigdgKQPPNW_
You finally got it right Chelloveck. The rank and file American could really not care any less what other countries do, but would rather be left alone to go about their lives. We all realize Ukraine is only about moving money around to further line our politicians pockets. We don't want to go fight anywhere and we're tired of our government sending billions overseas with the net result being a prolonged conflict and more people dying because of our tax dollars. We are the most technologically developed country the world has ever known and could win any war without putting the first boot on the ground. Don't fool yourself either because it is reciprocal.....other countries couldn't give two shits about us either unless they need something. And as far as "OH FUCK!! JAPAN!" goes, I guess they learned not to fuck with ol' round eye, huh? You did however miss the point on Tucker Carlson's interview with Putin. I gained a renewed respect for Putin by hearing him explain, passionately, about his love for his homeland and his desire to make it whole again and never heard the first apology for the current events. Every country should have leaders who love their country like this man does. Finally, as one who appears well read and has a fondness for manipulating the entendre of words that have faded into obsolescence and has time and again attempted to impress us all with an example of what "educated beyond ones intelligence" really means, it escapes me as to why such a simple thing as indenting your paragraphs escapes you.
I think Tucker has some valid points and yes, the elites of America don't give a damn about Ukraine and its people. It is simply a means to keep the money flowing so they can scrape the cream off the top without anyone noticing, while keeping the Defense industry fed and profitable, making them money and providing donations to for their elections. I watched the entire interview with Putin. Frankly, the first half couldn't even be called an interview as Putin controlled it while the second half wasn't much better. It certainly wasn't a normal interview and Putin was wonderful. Yes, I was a big fan of Putin's at one time, I freely admit it, but power has changed this man. You can definitely see this in the interview. He does not like to be interrupted and definitely doesn't like his opinion contradicted. Putin history lesson basically was chronologically accurate but skewed and, in many cases, flawed. Many things he said were flat out lies, such as Ukraine using mercenaries in which he is referring to the international legion, which is a brigade of foreign troops including Americans. These troops are part of the Ukrainian army, wear the Ukraine uniform and follow Ukrainian military leadership command - so - they are not mercenaries. They are no different from the Nepalese and/or the Muslim Syrians' the Russians have enticed with adverts of citizenship and/or monetary contracts, not to mention the Wagnar group (Russian state-funded private military company) that until recently was employed in the Ukraine. I believe now Putin point of allowing this interview was to be seen as a nationalist, a man who loves his country and willing to endure this war, doing whatever it takes to reunite his country, to put himself into a better light - period. It definitely worked but it's also definitely bullshit. The Ukrainian people do not want to be part of Russia, that part must be clear even to the blind after ~2-years of war and many times throughout history they have tried to break away and for damn good reasons. Poland also was part of Russia. Are they next? Moldova? The Baltic States? Bullshit. History is full of countries that were own by others, have common culture to include America. There were lots of things missing from the interview but what annoyed me was Tucker not digging into some of the hard reasons Russia wants, at a minimum, the Crimean and Eastern Ukraine. Namely, the recently discovered huge natural gas fields and the massive naval base in Sevastopol. The naval base is critical to the defense of Russia. Frankly, this is a valid reason and I wondered about it long ago, thought Russia might even lease the base. Silly me. The natural gas fields in the Crimean area would enrich Ukraine making them a prosperous and independent nation but would also make them a direct competitor to Russia. Who do you think energy thirsty Western Europe will purchase natural gas from, Ukraine or Russia? Remember, the Russia economy almost totally is based on its natural resource's exports. Think about that that... Anyway, these two reasons alone are enough for Russia to want and keep the Crimean and they will - period. The West intelligence services won the war for the hearts and minds of Ukrainian people as they decided to join the West with hopes of joining the EU and a better life. Putin couldn't tolerate that for numerous reasons, not just his sob story of long-lost history, so played his last card in the region. The card Russia historically (look it up!) has always played when they can't achieve their goals in any other manner: 'might makes right.' However, the Ukrainians get a vote too and they are giving their vote on the battlefield. I like Tucker and he definitely is entitled to his opinion. He doesn't like the war and doesn't want US involved. I agree but we are involved, up to our necks. Yes, we must stop the funding basically because we are broke and, sadly, in my opinion, due to Biden's interference and true intent never to win just prolong the war, I do not believe the war can now be won or even force the Russians out of Ukraine. There is nothing left but diplomacy...if Putin will even accept it. However, do not be surprised that if in 5 years, after Russian logistical stores are increased, manpower training is improved, roads and bases are built, that the Russians don't come knocking again with stories of how history supports their cause. Ukraine has proven without a doubt the reason these nations want and need to be part of NATO for standing alone means nothing but being the puppet of their larger neighbor, basically living on their knees. How many on this forum would be willing to live in this manner? So, you understand the predicament the people of Ukraine find themselves, they can't win but they will fight.
@Tempstar I agree with the interview and that's what I took away also. Both gents were well spoken . Even his interview in Dubai Tucker's discussion of the Vladimir Putin interview.
The USA, UK, and other countries are talking about resorting to the draft and lowering standards to fill the ranks! That is what you get with a woke military, no one wants to serve...at least not normal people! We need another war like we need an extra hole in the head. It's past time for Ukraine to give up the dream of Crimean and those eastern provinces, and the USA can make it happen tomorrow, just cut the funding!
THIS is what Putin is after, ALL this area is overflowing with untapped oil reserves, and guess who the biggest dog around is! Notice the location and how close it is to Ukraine!
Nope, they just inked a deal with the Iraq's to drill/run an oil field. Russia Takes Control of Iraq’s Biggest Oil Discovery for 20 Years | OilPrice.com
But Iraq is 1000 miles SOUTH of Ukraine, why not invade Georgia, Armenia, Azerbaijan, or the Stans? If all they want to do is profit from oil and gas sales to Europe and China, just have agreements to pump it all through Russian pipelines.
We have more oil, coal, natural gas ---get rid of all the government BS EV crap and we don't have to get involved with this shit
