TUCKER CARLSON’S “EXOTIC” FOREIGN POLICY UNIVERSE

Conservatives are NOT ALONE. Tucker Carlson's Show is "inclusive" with its bevy of Pro-Russia Isolationist America-and-Israel-bashing Leftwing Propagandists...

Tucker Carlson’s is a brilliant and entertaining show.

However, it failed to protect its credibility and the credibility of conservatism itself.

This is where self-criticism becomes necessary before Tucker does more damage to his enterprise, his network, and ours.

Tucker's is the “exotic” world where the bad guy "Nazis" are fighting the good guy "liberators” who invaded their country, seized their sea ports, steel factories, nuclear reactors, mines and natural resources, gas and oil fields, food, medical supplies and grain shipments, while having razed to the ground and obliterated their cities, tied up their civilians before raping, torturing and then shooting them in the back of their heads, and are now threatening nuclear strikes against them.

Indeed, there were, as Tucker insisted, Nazis in Ukraine.

Fighting for Vladimir Putin. Not just once.

And while reminding us out of context about Ukraine’s “Nazis,” Tucker’s talking heads failed Nazi History 101. For example, connecting the 1933 REISCHTAG FIRE first, and the 1938 annexation of Sudetenland second; to Russia’s 2014 and 2022 invasions of Ukrainian territories first, and the 2022 blowing up the Baltic Nord Stream pipelines, second.

History does repeat itself, if not exactly the same way or in the same sequence.

GENERAL PETRAEUS: PUTIN IS DESPERATE AND IN AN IRREVERSIBLE SITUATION

Given Tucker’s warnings, the west’s “Nazis” should never have “provoked” the good guy “liberators.” Never mind that the liberated wanted to have nothing to do with the same folk who gave them Russian history: THE HOLOMODOR.

QUOTE: “The USSR’s intelligence services used active measures and elite capture of US media for decades as Uri Bezmenov, the top Russian intelligence and media defector...detailed. Recently the Kremlin has managed to infiltrate both the radical left and reactionary right media with former lefties (pretending to be something else).”

The term “useful idiot” - quoting Lenin - described closeted communists and fascists (i.e. recently-deceased lefty Howard Zinn and righwinger Pat Buchanan), and West-and-America-haters who had aided and abetted the aims of the open communists in the Kremlin. They have traveling companions.

The extraterrestrials on Tucker Carlson’s are:

· Tulsi Gabbard, a lifelong Democrat, left-winger antimilitarist, Bush and neocon hater, and a globalist.

· Lara Logan, a veteran conspiracist, whose New Age (leftwing) spiritualism can be seen at her website. During Rathergate Lara’s CBS 60 Minutes conspiracy factory tried to crush the Bush presidency to get her man, John Kerry, elected.

· Doug MacGregor is a specialist of leftwing revisionist history at Foreign Policy, whose record of predictions were 100% correct after the events happened. Gabbard’s and MacGregor’s hatred of the dreaded neo-cons (often code for “Jews,” even though by far most are not Jewish, and whose analysis in fact has always proved to be accurate in contrast to MacGregor’s or Buchanan’s), is now playing out in Ukraine. Tulsi and Doug are spiritual accomplices of the reactionary pro-Iranian nukes-antizionist Walt-Meirsheimer cheering squad at the same media. So is Buchanan.

· A vocal neocon basher-and-strange bedfellow with Pat Buchanan, we have Glen Greenwald, famed for having aided Edward Snowden’s defection to Putin’s Russia. (Snowden is the “American patriot” who was, incidentally, just awarded Russian citizenship by Putin for providing America’s top secrets to the Kremlin.) Greenwald’s association with the leftwing Washington Post, Salon and Guardian - and MSNBC - was...described by Rachel Maddow...as "the American left’s most fearless political commentator."

The Long History of Glenn Greenwald’s Kissing Up to the Kremlin

Tucker has surrounded himself with Lenin’s, now Putin’s cited “Useful Idiots,” left-wingers, just as, through its broadcasts at RT (Russia TV), the Kremlin regularly lauded Tucker’s shows, and Greenwald’s and MacGregor’s comments (video).

Tucker covered for and overestimated Russia and Putin. He conveniently ignored Russia’s massive battlefield losses, strategic incompetence, inferior equipment, worthless currency, fading fortunes, ahistorical narratives, failed propaganda efforts and desperation, and failing economy visible in the references appended.

The Nord Stream explosions are in fact “REISCHTAG FIRE” Act II. They provided justifications for Russia’s long-planned strategic escalations and deployment of nuclear bombers in the Baltic and near Ukraine’s eastern regions, just as Putin whines about NATO’s threats.

Let's make it easy to understand: IF IT WALKS LIKE A DUCK...

Putin’s fictions evolved within a short time post invasion with these narratives:

· NATO is infringing on Russian territory – Ukraine itself - and the narrow buffer Ukraine represents is a danger to the Fatherland.

· Crimea, Donbas, Luhansk, Kharkiv, and other regions are “Russian,” said Putin, as he continued to revise history while expanding his invasion.

· There's a vital need to cleanse Ukraine of Nazis like Volomydyr Zelenskyy, a Jew. Accordingly, Putin sent in the WAGNER GROUP to do it, the group named after Hitler's favorite composer.

· Threats to nuke Ukraine and the west are not idle -- as a few days later two explosions off the coast of the Netherlands - were “coincidences.”

Tucker Carlson backed every single lie and then embellished these to create his exotic universe to fit entertaining narratives.

From the beginning sophisticated analysts have understood the Kremlin’s aims and that Putin has lied about his agenda so much that even his own generals eventually rejected them.

Failed state Russia’s only friends left are Cuba, Venezuela, North Korea, China, and Iran. What Tucker and his guests failed to inclued is:

PUTIN’S DEFENSE CHIEF OUTLINES RUSSIA’S REAL WAR AIMS

“Defence Minister Sergei Shoigu stated the goal is to return to the Soviet Union. Speaking to other military personnel, Mr Shoigu said: "Soon, there will be the Soviet Union again...”

Did any of these facts matter to Tulsi, Lara, Doug, Dan, and Tucker, while seemingly taking their daily talking points directly from Russia Today, controlled by the Kremlin?

You be the judge.

Well, I could have said it better Dear Bokeifus, and I have.

Clearly you are both very nearsighted.

"I see you failed to mention that Russia was backed into a corner intentionally by NATO, who decided it was a good idea to offer membership to Ukraine, against the promises made to Russia not to do so."

I failed to mention it Hubbie?

Scroll down in the article where I wrote:

"...Putin’s fictions evolved within a short time post invasion with these narratives:

· NATO is infringing on Russian territory – Ukraine itself - and the narrow buffer Ukraine represents is a danger to the Fatherland...."

I also covered the very same issue, taking Russia's view of the fiction here: https://tinyurl.com/yagd9h3z That was in February. Apparently, you are back in February and I've moved forward to October. Actually, if you re-read the article to which you replied, you'll find I'm ahead of the curve by months.

Your sort of comments will work if you've taken an illogical premise (for example, that I failed to mention the NATO issue) logically to your illogical - and false - conclusions. First, I mentioned it, and it is you who failed to pay attention, it is you whose knees are jerking because your god was found deficient, and it is you who likely also failed history and civics.

As for the labs producing viruses, they are another matter, and are a logical fallacy to argue them. So are the other issues you've raised - all outside the scope of this discussion - and which have nothing to do with US' national and security interested in protecting commerce, trade and military passage that supplies the western world across many seas, the Baltic, Mediterranian, Aegean, Black and Azov. The purpose for which NATO was formed, and why the United States, to Tucker's chagrin, is its leading member.

To answer your other questions about what national security interests we have in Ukraine, as well as to address some of your other concerns, these were covered in my other articles. For example:

THE TUCKER FACTOR. https://andrewgbenjamin.substack.com/p/the-tucker-factor

In the same article I bring to your attention the treaty governing the Ukraine-Russia issue, to which Russia is the principle signatory, a treaty it alone violated. That you are unaware of it says much.

https://www.brookings.edu/blog/up-front/2014/12/04/the-budapest-memorandum-and-u-s-obligations/

https://policymemos.hks.harvard.edu/links/ukraine-budapest-memorandum-1994

The Budapest Memorandum governs European security as I write these words from Budapest.

NATO protects European, as well as American security. The treaty was ratified for the mutual benefit.

All decisions by logical leaders are made in the national and mutual interest.

And when Tucker broadcast from Budapest, I was there at the Matild Palace.

https://tinyurl.com/2kwd2xwb -- SEE THIS: https://tinyurl.com/yfnzb26n

Even at the same dining rooms in the Matild Palace, https://tinyurl.com/2kwd2xwb, as well as Wolfgang Puck's SPAGO of Beverly Hills, also located at the Matild Palace. https://spagobudapest.com/en/

I was also at the very same border entry where Tuck and his camera crew entered Hungary, at Liszt Ferenc Airport. All passengers were checked for having been inoculated for Covid, including Tucker. Otherwise, there would have been no entry for Tucker or anyone else. At least not to Hungary August 2021.

That Tucker denied having been vaccinated is another issue, for another time, and that is not my problem, but perhaps yours.

And you were.....exactly where my friend?

Meanwhile,

TO QUOTE from my article: "NATO guarantees the security of its neighbors. And emerging EU members. The U.S.-NATO alliance guarantee the security of America’s current and future allies in the American Interest - period. ...

As well as, Russia allied itself to terrorist states China, Iran, North Korea, Cuba, and Venezuela.

Are these too, in the American interest, Mr. Carlson?..."

How about you Hubbie?

You also stated, "We instigated this fight, by our neglegence through NATO."

Reader Catapult chimed in to second your and Tucker's fairy tales: "NATO goaded Russia into the war with its insistence Ukraine join NATO.."

NATO had nothing to do with Russia's invasion of Ukraine. Moreover, NATO never offered membership to Ukraine, nor invited Ukraine to join it. Not to this day.

If you believe otherwise, please feel free to post the evidence here.

So apparently, and in reflection of Bekeifus' "I couldn't have said it better."

Well, I have just said it better.

There's more: https://tinyurl.com/2cqe4rhq

The photographs of the Russian fleet are by yours truly, near the naval base at Murmansk in the Baltic. The same fleet that blew up Nord Stream.

I was speaking from the border of Ukraine when I wrote most of these articles, just six hour later than your time.

Even if your god has just fallen.

The Nazis, if you failed to click on the hyperlinks, were working not for the Jewish president of Ukraine, but for Putin, https://tinyurl.com/y2lvd24l and he even awarded medals to them. https://tinyurl.com/2km9my4w

Tucker is so far from the truth as a lie can fly.

For example, take this article from March 2022 - as we now have not just the evidence, but history behind us:

https://tinyurl.com/26qlh4wk

To all: I appreciate your thoughts, but if you'll be a foreign policy maven, study your subjects and their history. Also, go back on the articles we are discussing, and as with the rest, click on the orange or blue hyperlinks for validation.

I see you failed to mention that Russia was backed into a corner intentionally by NATO, who decided it was a good idea to offer membership to Ukraine, against the promises made to Russia not to do so. Also forgotten are the multiple labs producing gain of function viruses. How about the fact that Ukraine is the money laundering capitol of the world for the likes of the Biden's and the Pelosi's. This is much more complicated than you make it out to be. We are pumping Billions of dollars into Ukraine without any proper accountability to prop up a president who was installed by the CIA, who is a reprobate actor from a risque TV series. Tell me please what is the strategic interest that we have as a nation to prop them up? We instigated this fight, by our neglegence through NATO. We have morons running our national and international policies, led by an dementia addled president. So Tucker is an apologist for Russia. I think he is more an apologist for common sense.
