Chaos Erupts At Fox News As Murdoch, Popular Host Undermine Trump

A simmering feud between former Fox News colleagues is threatening to break out into open warfare as major media personalities begin to personally lobby President Donald Trump about his plans to negotiate a peace deal with Iran.

In an exclusive interview, Tucker Carlson reacted to news that Fox News host Mark Levin recently met with Trump and Steve Witkoff, the president’s top Middle East envoy, to urge them against seeking peace with the unstable Islamic nation. Levin, on numerous occasions, has used his show to chastise the Trump administration over its pursuit of peace.

“It’s amazing how much old people love wars,” Carlson said, a slighting reference to Levin and his war-hawk stance with respect to Iran.

Levin is not the only titan at Fox News to complain about the president’s attempt to negotiate with the ayatollahs. Fox founder Rupert Murdoch has reportedly discouraged the deal, too, with his New York Post paper running multiple columns expressing doubt about Iran’s sincerity in negotiating a peaceful future for its nuclear program.

Carlson, who formerly worked with Levin at Fox, is a famously anti-war Trump supporter who opposes any future possibility of putting troops in the Middle East. His career came of age during the Afghanistan and Iraq wars, both quagmires that have turned Americans’ opinions sharply against international involvement.

He previously cautioned Trump about listening too closely to Levin after learning his former colleague had visited the White House.

“Mark Levin was at the White House today, lobbying for war with Iran,” Carlson wrote on X. “To be clear, Levin has no plans to fight in this or any other war. He’s demanding that American troops do it.”

He argued that Levin’s “hyperventilating” about Iran’s nuclear program was a distraction from sending American soldiers back to the sandbox.

Just another example of why Carlson is a foreign policy moron.

Iran having nuclear weapons is no big deal according to him.

Carlson is on Putin and Qatar's payroll.

It may come to war, but understand the nuclear enrichment sites can't be completely destroyed by bombs alone.

Do we want American troops going into Iran? If so, where do you position the forward operating bases.

The only other option I see is the USA, or Israel, using nuclear bombs.

IOW, there are no good options.

You can seal the ground level access points into the enrichment facilities without setting foot on the ground. It can be made a huge tomb.

Gophers have multiple exits. I am sure the Iranians do, too.

Ground penetrating thermobaric weapons.

Ground penetrating thermobaric weapons.

You have to disperse the fuel in a thermobaric weapon. Punching it into the ground deprives it of diffusion and oxidizer.

I'm in agreement with the ground penetrating part, but you'd have to create a void to disperse the fuel for a thermobaric weapon, first. A double tap, with one full of LOX and another full of fuel might burn out the void spaces down there, but that would be tricky.

Mo' betta would be a high brisance explosive with an incendiary component (powdered magnesium and white phosphorous?) in the bomb: shatter facilities, burn what's left.

First, that depends on how much intelligence the Israelis have collected on these sites. Second, if they use them they'll get obliterated. Satellite imaging will expose them night or day. If they put the refining sites under a large city that would pose a big problem. That seems pretty unlikely though.

Why would that be unlikely? Better cover for shipments going in or out in plain trucks, and it isn't as if the jihad bunch hasn't used civilians as cover before. Besides, hospitals get shipments of radioisotopes pretty frequently.

What would deter that? More martyrs for Allah...

The photos I've seen of suspected sites are out in the middle of nowhere. A defector provided the locations:

I have to believe the Israelis have pretty good intel on where they are.

And those are likely sites, indeed, even we put a lot of our stuff in the 'boonies'.

Also would make a good decoy where little of note would be blown up...
