Tucker says Iran is no threat to U.S.
« on: March 08, 2025, 07:37:40 pm »
And takes Qatar's word for it.
Quote
Tucker Carlson
@TuckerCarlson
Fox News is wall to wall with dead-eyed politicians telling you that Iran is a dangerous “sponsor of terror.” Softening up the base for a war. But what exactly does that phrase mean, and how does it apply to the United States? Here’s one measure: over the past twenty years, how many Americans have been killed by Iran on American soil? Try to find that number, and then compare it to the number of Americans killed by drug ODs. Or suicide. Or illegal aliens. Or carjackings, diabetes and the Covid vax. Still think Iran is the greatest threat? How about we focus on our own country for a minute.

Qatar, a country of 400K people, has spent more money than any country on earth funding America's far-left universities. It's also spent more money on lobbying. But yeah, they are just unbiased observers we should listen to. Five years ago, Tucker knew who the Qataris were.

Does he not remember Iran proposed killing Trump?

Dumb statement IMHO... they are quick to provide weapons to Russia and Arab terrorists. By nature, they are dangerous and always will be.

@marklevinshow
Terror state Qatar, doing Iran’s bidding, thinks it’s clever issuing a statement demanding the UN oversee Israel’s nuclear arsenal. Qatar is the enemy and it’s at the center of a massive scandal in which it has bought off media, politicians, think tanks, law firms, lobbyists and businessmen. It all must be exposed.

Google Omeed Malik. He’s an Iranian Muslim banker who funded Tucker Carlson with $15 million to push his agenda. Let’s stop the low-IQ claims that he’s funded by Qatar—we know exactly who’s backing him.

It’s worth pointing out that a strike on the Iranian nuclear sites will almost certainly result in thousands of American deaths at bases throughout the Middle East, and cost the United States tens of billions of dollars. The cost of future acts of terrorIsm on American soil may be even higher. Those aren’t guesses. Those are the Pentagon’s own estimates. A bombing campaign against Iran will set off a war, and it will be America’s war. Don’t let the propagandists lie to you.

This little tidbit caused me to drop my Tucker subscription. When asked why, I replied "Iran is no threat my @$$!"

It doesn't seem that long ago that TC was one of, if not (plus Limbaugh)  the leading conservative voice of punditry.

Has he taken some bad acid or something? Not calling Iran a threat, is insane.

Scenario: Iran builds a nuclear weapon. Lacking ICBM capabilities they load the bomb into a shipping container. The container gets loaded onto a neutral flagged ship. The ship sails to the US after stopping in a couple other ports to make it look innocent.

The bomb is then detonated in a US port. Like NYC.

So don't tell me Iran isn't a threat because I'm sure they'd do this if they could.

@AGHamilton29
Checking back in on Tucker’s predictions prior to initial Israel strike to argue against any action:
Week 1:
- “Almost certainly result in thousands of American deaths”
- $30 gas
-economic collapse
Week 2:
BRICs/China join the war against us and America loses.

They might be working on it even now, but my bet is that they'd go for a few major ports and maybe even the Canal Zone.
If that happened and the isotope signatures showed Russian...

More likely, he's taken money from a foreign agitator. That's usually how these hot takes happen.

As for whether Iran is a threat... that's mainly due to lack of resources. The fact that Iran limited their counterresponse to the airstrikes to areas in the Middle East was a telling admission that they can't take us on directly. One would be a fool to think they are totally harmless. If they could, they would, and if they can find a way, they will be.
