  4. Why does no one call her on the immigration bill she constantly refers to, regarding the reason it was rejected which was the 5000 people allowed per day to enter the country.

  5.  @MrGenXer  The Demo party only really became antiwar, once Nixon was elected. Prior to that, this was not the case. Also, Clinton engaged in war, Obama also, so it really was only the fringe that ever really embraced the antiwar movement in the Demo party.

  9. We just spent a trillion dollars of those. More money is not the answer, actually it is the issue...inflation. We need to cut spending and balance the budget, not spend more on goodies.

  10. Exactly correct. South Africa is governed by the ANC, a Marxist/communist party. This is their heritage. It is not surprising that their leadership is attempting to distract the population from inept governance by going after the whites.

  11. With respect, you don't understand the world if you think the war in Ukraine and many elsewhere, have nothing to do with us. Retreating behind our oceans, will not help the US but only embolden bad actors everywhere, which will destabilize the world economy, energy supplies, allies, international trade and markets and eventually the US will be forced to intervene but likely against forces far stronger than they would have been, if the US had not withdrawn in the first place. You only need look at what happens when the US withdraws, such as in Iraq and Afghanistan, previously in Vietnam, etc...to see that the power vacuum is always filled by enemies of the USA. Short term thinking is almost always emotionally based and not well thought out. Best to look further down the road and imagine the consequences.

  12. Carlson is so lost. He warps everything being said and expects viewers to ignore the obvious falsity of his claims. Zelensky demanded nothing. He was very humble and appreciative and hopes to continue to get US aid. Is this unreasonable? This is how the US was founded, and similarly we kept our luminaries, Franklin and Jefferson in Paris throughout the Revolution to continue to solicit the French King for arms, uniforms and money, without which we would have lost the war. Further, Tucker is just short sighted. Does he believe a victorious Russia under Putin will not continue its aggressions, elsewhere? What impact would that have on Europe? What are the Chinese learning from Ukraine? If we had not aided the Ukrainians and the country had been swiftly conquered, what lessons would China have learned v. Taiwan or other potential adversaries? Also, the petty insults about Zelensky's clothes is so weak. Zelensky dresses this way deliberately, to remind his people that he is with the soldiers and to remind the world of the existential threat his country is facing. Carlson simply comes across as clueless or childish with such commentary. It is truly disgusting to see Carlson be so disingenuous in his dialogue and analysis. If he insists on being against aid to Ukraine, there is no need for lying. He also ought to acquaint himself with grand strategy, the history of Russia and the consequences of inaction in the face of aggression by potential, near pear enemies of the US.

  17. Of course. War is expensive. But you favor letting Putin reconquer the old Soviet republics, one by one. That's a great idea, surely with no impact on the USA. Do you even think beyond your nose?

  18. @Ze TheGame My hell, you are completely devoid of actual understanding of US interests and what is and is not important. Eastern Europe is absolutely important to the US. Our NATO allies such as Poland, Romania and the Baltic nations are all right there and all of these were formerly a part of the Soviet empire and therefore vulnerable to Russian aggression and designs. If Putin succeeds in Poland, he will no doubt attempt to undermine the above nations, perhaps using his little green men ploy as in Donbas and Luhansk, with the Baltic States and create a crisis in NATO. He could also invade Moldova and further threaten Romania. Given the state of affairs in Germany and the rest of Europe, all of this is extremely troublesome and we 100% have an interest to keep Russia at bay. Russia has thermonuclear weapons, that can obliterate the USA. Do you not know this? Turkey is also a NATO member. An attack on one is an attack on all. That means the USA. Do you get it now? Trade with Western Europe far surpasses that with Saudi Arabia or Taiwan. Why you would choose these two over our long time allies is simply incomprehensible. Canada is also a member of NATO btw. Renouncing our article 5 responsibilities, would make the US a hiss and a byword worldwide. No one would ever trust us again. Also in the event of a Russian attack on a NATO member, if we did nothing, the Russians could sweep back into Europe and gobble up a great deal, making them vastly more powerful. If you think the US can simply hide from these realities, your are amazingly ignorant and naive. Naked aggression only grows if left unchecked and with numerous anti American forces already in the world, ready to pounce, a renewed Russia is not to be taken lightly. You need to rethink your entire world view.

  21. Curtailing Russian expansionism is definitely within US interests. If the US had not sent weapons to Ukraine, the country would be conquered by now and Putin would be eyeing Moldovia or worse, the Baltic States. In the latter case, that would trigger article 5 and NATO. Think.

  28. Every time I watch Carlson these days, I just roll my eyes. The incessant drum beat that World War III is coming, is nowhere in evidence. Yet he persists. Also, Farage's analysis of Russian paranoia as a legitimate reason to invade Ukraine, is ludicrous and countered by any knowledge of the facts. The first being that Ukraine never has been or was on the cusp of joining NATO or the EU. Secondly, NATO since the fall of the USSR has been getting weaker and weaker with every passing year. Also, it has been Russian aggression that has been on full display from Georgia to Crimea to the Donbas and Luhansk and now with a full throated, unprovoked war against Ukraine. So enough with the NATO provoked Russia shite. It is embarrassing that intelligent people are so easily sucked into all the Russian propaganda.
    2
  29. Nope, not true at all. Carlson is lost at least 50% of the time in his own sauce. He is especially clueless on foreign policy and Ukraine. He is motivated by rage, not objective thought and has become a conspiracy isolationist. Not a good combo.

  34. Tucker got owned during this exchange. His arguments of endless wars and isolationism are inane and were easily demolished by his guest.

  35. Actually, he lied multiple times and continues to do so every time he discusses this conflict. Zelensky demanded nothing. He was very thankful for the aid given and repeatedly thanked the US for it. He is a man besieged by a formidable enemy. The measures he has taken, are to save his country. Think of Lincoln in the civil War. They also called him a dictator. Tucker would be among those doing so, had he lived then and probably would have supported the Copperheads seeking peace with the CSA in 1864, rather than vote for Lincoln and continued war. I think Tucker is motivated primarily by fear of war and guilt over his support of the Iraqi invasion. Tucker is weak. He is wrong on both counts and his views if followed, will not help the US and in the long run only hurt us.

  39. There is no military industrial complex and those who espouse this antiquated idea are simply ignorant. Also, Carlson is a fool regarding US foreign policy. Every American intervention or involvement outside the borders of the country, is not unnecessary nor unwise or unjustified. What is going on in Ukraine is not going to lead to a war between the US and Russia and no one is advocating this position. Providing military aid to Ukraine also, is not provocative and is completely warranted, given the Russian moves. Carlson has become an isolationist, which is tantamount to being an ostrich burying its head in the sand. The US cannot simply abandon the world and retreat behind our oceans. To do so which be disastrous and lead to an extremely dangerous world, one which would be very hostile to America and its prosperity and interests. Tucker is naive.

  43. Ignorant and unjust. Petraeus did not betray anyone or thing.

This was obviously wrong but hardly a betrayal.

  45.  @garyhumphrey7720  Who is advocating for war with Russia? No one. How is it that you are making this leap? Warmongering entails calling for war and or constantly engaging in such. So, again, I ask you, who is calling for war with Russia? I ignore zero facts and actually know them, which is why I can differentiate between sending military aid to Ukraine and actually engaging in hostilities. We have a long history of sending aid to third countries fighting our foes. Remember Afghanistan, when the Soviets invaded there? We did the same in Nicaragua, in Congo and elsewhere. Of course the Russians have done the same against us. N. Korea, Vietnam, Cuba, etc...etc... You either ignore history or simply do not know it.

  47. This was an interesting view which I think is quite overstated, though potentially possible. Given that the US and USSR did not come to blows over the course of the Cold War and 50 years, when the stakes and militaries were considerably larger than today, it seems highly unlikely especially with the weak Biden administration in charge. Also the inevitable war, Tulsi postulates, is nowhere in evidence. Lastly, we do not target Russia anymore nor they us, at least officially.

  49. Carlson always comes off as unhinged and intellectually dishonest, whenever he discusses Ukraine or any potential US conflict. He deliberately misrepresents language, makes assertions that are not borne out by policy or advocated by politicians and attempts to connect the dots, when it is entirely inappropriate to do so. His initial assertions about secret peace talks between Russia and Ukraine in April, are a perfect example of this. There is no evidence the Biden admin. squashed these talks or an agreement and the reporting on these, demonstrates that Russia rejected peace by itself, which makes sense, since Russia invaded Ukraine in an attempt to conquer the country. Foreign Policy’s flagship daily newsletter with what’s coming up around the world today. Delivered weekdays. A Possible Peace Deal Takes Shape Between Russia and Ukraine Although talks show progress, Russian President Vladimir Putin’s position seems unchanged. MARCH 17, 2022, 7:16 AM Would a Peace Deal Between Russia and Ukraine Do More Harm Than Good? While a serious negotiated settlement could end Ukrainians’ suffering, a premature peace deal could be the worst possible outcome for Kyiv. MARCH 25, 2022, 12:38 PM As War in Ukraine Ramps Up, Who Wants to End It? Peace talks have appeared to fade into the background as Russia launches a new offensive. APRIL 26, 2022, 8:25 AM Boris Johnson does not represent the USA. What a ridiculous assertion. Where did Tucker come up with this? Johnson's visit followed a trip by European Union leaders to Ukraine on Friday. Because Britain is no longer a member of the E.U., Johnson has made a coordinated but separate effort to show support for Ukraine. Austrian Chancellor Karl Nehammer also visited Kyiv on Saturday and met with Zelensky, pledging to help alleviate the suffering of Ukrainians. The one-day trip by the Austrian leader was expected to include a visit the suburb of Bucha, where hundreds of civilians were found slain after Russian troops withdrew. Last month, the leaders of Poland, Slovenia and the Czech Republic made a bold joint visit to Ukraine's capital while it was under attack to pledge "unequivocal support" to Ukraine. Ursula von der Leyen, the president of the European Commission...On Friday...traveled to the Ukrainian town of Bucha, where retreating Russian soldiers are accused of killing dozens of civilians. She condemned the killings and promised to try to speed Ukraine’s efforts to become a member of the European Union. Also, a German recession, did not cause a recession in the USA. This statement is completely ignorant or just a lie. German trade with the US is a tiny percentage of our GDP and nothing happening in Germany, is going to cause a recession in the US. The US recession derived from poor economic policies engaged in by the Biden admin., China going into prolonged lockdown, the effects of Covid, the Great Resignation, etc... Neither the US nor UK want total war with Russia and neither are demanding regime change either. Tucker is just a loon on this subject.

  50. It's not a fealty to war. The US is not at war, so that is an assertion without merit. Also, arming a nation attacked by Russia, is what we did from 1946-1991, all over the globe, this is no different save Russia is vastly weaker than the USSR. Also, if the US simply stops the aid, Ukraine will likely crumble, there will be nothing to stop the Russians from just taking the country. It's similar to what we observed in Iraq and Afghanistan and previously in Vietnam. A sudden pullout creates a vacuum which is filled by hostile actors. In this case not giving weapons and support. This move would also not be popular with our NATO allies and would sow further distrust around the world about US reliability. No one is playing games with anyone's life. You are spouting hyperbole. The US does not control Ukraine, nor Russia. The war will continue if we stop helping Ukraine but the bad guys will win and that does not help the US. I would urge you to rethink your views on US foreign policy, perhaps review some American history, especially between 1918-1941 and then during the Cold War.

  51. The argument for providing and supplying Ukraine with money and weapons is fairly straight forward. Defeating Russia in Ukraine will set back aggression, not only from Russia, but worldwide. If Russia succeeds, Ukraine will not be the last nation attacked by Russia. Likely Moldova and then the Baltic States will be next as potential victims. Also, China will likely be emboldened regarding aims against Taiwan, its islands in the S. China sea and other aggressions. Iran, too would probably see a Russian victory as a sign of US weakness and that of the West and continue its provocations in Yemen, Iraq, Syria etc... It is important in Ukraine to keep the fight there, bloody the Russians badly and then make Ukraine a military bulwark against Russia. You cannot operate foreign policy from a position of fear. If Russia uses a nuke, it is game over. The argument what if Russia uses a nuke, is always present and if taken at face value, would paralyze US foreign policy and would have done so, during the Cold War had we followed this line of thinking. Reagan's rollback approach v. the USSR was criticized exactly for the reasons M. Paul is outlining. Again, you cannot operate a foreign policy from a position of fear.

  53. I watched this yesterday, sitting in Utah and became more and more annoyed as it went along. Cox has done good things in the State but the examples given in the above report, are so disturbing and yet another example, of Republican men Romney, former AZ Senator Flake and others among them, who though Conservative, are Uber empathetic. This hyper emotionalism seems to blind them to common sense and keeps them from guarding deeper, fundamental principles and with the Trans issue, from confronting basic reality. Romney will be primaried and likely lose his seat, if he does not resign before then. Cox also, needs to be ousted, if he continues on this path. I don't know how Utah, an extremely conservative state, continues to elect political representatives who are socially quite Left. This is all very concerning. It needs to end.

  54. Almost everything Carlson has said during this monologue is false or at best partially true. When he states the US is at war with Russia, this is completely false and such a dangerous and irresponsible thing to broadcast. Supplying Ukraine with weapons is not a state of war, just as supplying the Afghans was not war with the USSR or when they, supplied N. Vietnam was it war against us. It is shocking that Carlson feels so comfortable making these pronouncements on international broadcasts. One must wonder exactly what motivates such obvious falsity. Carlson has become the King of cherry-picking information, abbreviating speeches, and reinterpreting everything beyond what was/is obviously true. He asserts based upon nothing but his own circular logic and semi delusional world view. This man has lost all objectivity on this subject and needs to be reigned in.

  55.  @melaninbotswana2474  No country is obligated to trade with another and freezing foreign assets within your own country is completely acceptable and hardly an act of war by any measure. You either don't understand what is happening or you are simply an ideologue, I would guess more the latter than the former, with your use of word imperialism. There is no imperialism going on, save that of the Russians, who have forcibly taken territory in Georgia, Crimea, Donbas and Luhansk previously and now have opted for a full invasion of Ukraine, which was in no ways a threat to Russia. You must be willfully blind not to acknowledge that. You are probably a Marxist as well, correct?

  68. Why Carlson continually lies about Zelensky is beyond bizarre. He demanded nothing, he was absolutely humble and sincere in his address, repeatedly thanking the US for the aid and his clothes are meant to convey a message. His country was invaded by a vastly superior force and yet it survives. He wears clothes which resemble those worn by the troops who he commands. In front of the US Congress or foreign nations, his clothes reinforce the existential threat his country faces. Certainly Carlson, knows this and yet he continually personally attacks Zelensky, why? Did he do something wrong here? Ought he not seek military support to fight back against the Russians? Tucker is either a complete coward, delusional or so mired in his own fame, he cannot recognize reality for what it is. He should be ashamed at the barrage of insults and outright lies he his speaking regarding Zelensky and Ukraine. Regarding ending Putin's hold on power is a better point and one that definitely needs to be thought through. Lindsey Graham only voiced what he sees as reality; a truce plays only to Russia's strengths and likely would simply mean a replication of the invasion, once Russia has regrouped, rearmed and remobilized. Putin also has far too much at stake to simply walk away, so regime change is probably the only way the war will end, short of a military revolt. Zelensky is no Churchill, but he has demonstrated great personal courage and tremendous leadership, which have inspired his nation and troops.

  91. Withdrawal was a huge error and was dumb. Tucker’s isolationism is very ignorant and devoid of understanding of long and short term American interests. Labeling everything a forever war again, was/is just inaccurate. American military bases, the world over, provides stability, economic prosperity, international trade and a counter to aggression by anti American and anti western forces. The Afghan fiasco will likely have huge repercussions.

  92. Almost everything Carlson says about Ukraine is blatantly disingenuous or an out right lie. It is pretty deplorable actually. Zelensky and Ukraine are in an existential fight against a foe which has been the primary adversary of the USA since 1946. Russia is a blatant violator of the UN protocol, its agreement to protect Ukraine, when it gave up its nuclear weapons and basic morality. The war was initiated by Putin as a war of conquest. That is it. Carlson does not seem to get these fundamental facts. He also misrepresents almost every word Zelensky utters. Carlson's policies are inane, juvenile, naive and if followed, will only embolden the enemies of the USA. Shame, shame Tucker Carlson.

I would guess this is due to his support for the Iraq War, which he now feels guilty about and therefore, he has gone completely off the rails, whenever potential war happens. The isolationism Carlson embraces is really shortsighted and his views on Russia lately, are simply looney.

  105. I watch these Tucker rants of disingenuous slanders, with disgust and sadness. It is truly unfortunate that this man sinks so low every time he reports on Ukraine or anything resembling US military involvement overseas. He has lost all objective reasoning. For example, when he charges that 'they' want to send your kids to war, is simply a lie. No one is advocating for direct US military engagement with Russia and yet Carlson continually spouts this nonsense. When he alleges that Zelensky is corrupt but gives zero examples and merely hints that unspecified money is somehow missing and therefore...this is also slander. Also, knowing Ukraine is involved in a full-on conventional war, in which thousands of artillery rounds are used in a single day and tens of thousands of troops engaged, it is bizarre to ask where are the munitions going? All one need do is look at what the Russians are expending in their efforts, which seemed to have drained their supposed inexhaustible stocks as well. And then there is the talk of nuclear war. Where does that come from? Is there a greater chance of a nuclear exchange now than at any time during the Cold War, when nuclear weapons were 10x as numerous and conventional armies also, vastly larger? Carlson is simply terrified and is reacting from this emotion. Not good. McGregor is a fool. His analysis is likewise laughable and he has no gravitas on these subjects. When McGregor states that Russia was forced into invading Ukraine, you must wonder what drug he is on. Ukraine was not on the verge of entering either NATO nor the EU. Not at all. The invasion had nothing to do with this potentiality in the far future. Read Putin's speeches justifying the invasion, they are not about either organization but his belief that Ukraine is an integral part of Russia and therefore should be directly under Moscow's control. McGregor is simply spouting Russian propaganda and it is amazing a former Army Col. could be so naive and ignorant simultaneously.

  114. Tucker's guilt over Iraq has unbalanced him and his ability to objectively analyze foreign policy. His go to position, is isolationism, which is extremely foolish and short sighted. The question posed using the 'Dan Crenshaw Argument' is not addressed head on by Tucker. Russia/USSR has been the biggest and most persistent threat to the US and Western civ. since WWII. The Russians are the only power capable of destroying the USA, not China or anyone else. So, Tucker focusing on China is ignorant. Also, Russia does not have to be the main rival of the US, to justify American intervention. The USA stands for liberty and the overt belligerence of one nation against another in an area that is very sensitive to US interests and those of our allies, certainly merits attention. Also, given Russian aggression since Putin took power, if unchecked, it is very likely he would persist and his next targets would likely be the Baltic States, i.e., NATO members. So, acting now, to stop the proverbial dominoes is wise. Putin is not mad. There is zero evidence for this assertion. Even so, he is not suicidal. Not even Stalin, who actually became insane and was definitely pathological and a sociopath, did not wish to die engulfed in a mushroom cloud. So, when he speaks of nukes, you can instantly cower to his blackmail and or stand up. This is what we did through the entirety of the Cold War, when the power and number of nuclear arsenals was vastly greater than today, with more than 60,000 nukes possessed by both sides. Now each has less than 2000. So, to create an alliance with Russia would mean sacrificing all of Eastern Europe back under Russian dominance or a resurrection of the old empire. Is this what Carlson is suggesting? Trump was very friendly with Putin but even so, the Russians continued to test boundaries. Russian interests under Putin simply do not align with that of the West. Pretending otherwise, is naive and dangerous. Tucker does not understand Russia, history or cogent foreign policy. His views are solidly based in fear/cowardice/shame and none of these are useful.

  115. We should be involved because an aggressive, successful Russia, reconstituting its old empire, is a direct challenge to American strategic interests and those of our allies. Think.

  116.  @trae4529  Russia and China are not aligned currently, though they were in the past, in 1949, When Mao seized control of China, the USSR fully supported China, however, very quickly thereafter the two nations began fighting and broke with one another. Why? Because the interests of China and Russia are not aligned. So, you may see some kind of photo ops between the two leaders, you may have some kind of economic deals worked out between them but these are not substantive and are mostly propaganda at this point. China and Russia do not trust each other and never have. Also, China cannot really help Russia out of its current dilemma. It cannot buy the Russian oil, because the infrastructure is not in place to ship it to China and the only ports available are far in the West. Cargo ships will not haul Russian crude that is being embargoed, no one will ensure it and it simply can't be done. I'm not sure about your referencing the Cold War. What is happening in Ukraine is nothing like the Cold War. This is brute aggression, plain and simple. It is not in the interests of the US to ignore the Russian invasion and we need to supply the Ukrainians with weapons, to make the aggression as painful as possible for the Russians. In this way, Russia may be forced to retreat and or make peace. Failing that, if Ukraine were simply to take over Ukraine, you could anticipate further Russian aggressions, against Moldova and likely the Baltic States, Romania or Poland, which are NATO members. Aggression begets more aggression; this is one of the great lessons of history. It must be opposed or it grows and when finally confronted the costs are always exponentially higher.

  118.  @trae4529  No I don't think that I did. You were quite clear in your comment and apparently are/were ignorant of what you were speaking about. Also, there is no such thing as mansplaining. There is only explanation and understanding. Either you grasp a concept or you do not. The source of the information, is not important. hmmm..... you think...... how smart is it to have Russia and China aligned? Answer—- it’s not—- and Trump understood this——but Dems keep on reliving the Cold War, so here we are........ it’s mind boggling, the short sightedness and cluelessness So, what exactly in the above comment do you think I missed?

  121.  @steverogers9824  For the U.S. Department of Defense, the Posse Comitatus Act is defined in 2006 as such: it prohibits the search, seizure, or arrest powers of U.S. military personnel. Amended in 1981 under Public Law 97-86 to allow for increased Department of Defense support for drug prohibition and other law enforcement activities (Title 18, "Use of Army and Air Force as Posse Comitatus" - United States Code, Section 1385)

  124. I think Vivek is the best candidate in the field but Haley is correct about Ukraine and US foreign policy in general. If Russia is not badly bloodied in Ukraine, all authoritarian states will be emboldened. Rewarding Russian aggression will at best create a pause, which will allow the Russians time to regroup, retrain, rearm and be ready to blitz Ukraine next time. It is naive to believe differently. The aid we give Ukraine weakens Russia, keeps further adventurism at bay and is wakening up the world to the real threats everywhere. Allowing Russia to consume Ukraine, is a very bad decision, which will encourage more expansions, 'little, green men' and the destabilizing of Europe and the 'Near Abroad', as Russia terms it. Vivek's Taiwan policy is good. Strategic clarity, which puts down a bright, red line and also puts Taiwan on notice, that it must take care of its own defense primarily in the future, i.e. stop spending 2% of GDP on Defense and start committing so much wealth to protection of the island, that China would have to be insane to attempt an invasion.

  130. 70 years ago. The world has turned and the military and the industry supporting it, is vastly reduced since then. Those who use this tired phrase in the modern day and delusional. American spending on defense equates to a mere 3.5% of GDP, hardly a massive, overarching cabal of conspiracy.
