I guess Putin doesnā€™t want war?

Carlson is just acting like heā€™s the SecDef. He canā€™t do that, because thereā€™s already someone else acting like heā€™s the SecDef.

Tucker knows Donnie would fuck up a war bigly.

Trump may go to war, by himself, or with his sons but no one else.
I would stand behind him ,10,000 miles behind him, like he did in Vietnam.

Oh please. Trump will not start a war with Iran. . What he does is issue empty threats such as deporting millions and then forget about it as he chases the next shiny object. Trump is all bark and no bite. And the rest of the world has figured that out.

On the one hand Iā€™m comforted that Iran and Russia are allies, this means if Pootie donā€™t want a war, we may be saved by Kompromat.

On the otherā€¦ what a fucked up situation.

No one will have to ā€œgo to warā€. Weā€™ll just push a bunch of buttons and let the missiles fly.

If some one tells him heā€™ll get to preempt regular programming as many times as he wants to announce bigly missiles hitting stuff, it will be on.

Are we sure Vlad doesnā€™t want us to unilaterally declare war on Iran? It seems that would weaken us overall in the ME (and elsewhere) and relatively strengthen Vladā€™s position. But then again, I was never very good at Stratego ĀÆ\_(惄)_/ĀÆ

If Tucker Carlson is the voice of reason, itā€™s a truly fucked up country we have here.

So US foreign policy is decided by a clash between Carlson and Bolton? The eggman and the walrus?!? Thatā€™s terrifying.

Back to the Trump brand meme:

Trump will never go to war with Iran because if it were to go badly (a high probability outcome), it would be really bad for his brand.

Trump eats, sleeps, coddles, and relishes his brand 24 hours a day. Itā€™s why he ran for president, for goodnessā€™ sakes. Itā€™s what is foremost in his mind in making any decision.

So reassuring that the high-level advisers are on this.

Good advise from Carlson, Iran would make us bleed like it was 1944 in blood and treasure. Iran is not a pushover state, these guys have been at war since 1980. Put the treaty back in place and move on already, clearly trump is not scaring these guys one bit.

It is hard to break the back of the formula ā€œget a TV show as one who expresses opinion devoid of any ethical journalism, be strident and obnoxious, earn lots of cash, become even more strident and obnoxious, throw in being hateful, exponentially grotesque and self-righteous and earn EVEN more cash, and keep ramping that up.ā€

Carlsonā€™s a skeevy little punk but heā€™s just smart enough, maybe, to realize that Trump could never function as a war president when the majority of the country deeply distrusts him. We started this administration with a functioning agreement that kept war at bay. The country doesnā€™t want its sons and daughters to die for the guy who tore it up because it had Obamaā€™s name on it.
