    That would wreck all of that oil pumping infrastructure, and all of those poorly paid workers pumping that oil would die.

    I don’t think that’s very likely.

      He cashed out a while ago. Tuckers allegiance has always been to the dollar. It is always profitable to be the opposition so that’s what he does. He has no real morals or values.

      This it what drives me about the left. The average leftist is much less informed about stuff like this than people on the right.

      It’s like people on the left went from being super politically active and informed to casual observer while the right flipped.

      I keep seeing comments like this on leftists spaces where people have no idea what the fuck is going on meanwhile rightwing spaces are 8 layers deep in conspiracy but it’s all based on actual informative stuff that’s happening, it’s just twisted to suit themselves. The left is super cooked even if they start securing wins. People on the left just don’t have the ability to do what past generations could. They don’t like conflict. They want to do disengage and forget about it all during a time when maximum attention is required.

          I like that. But I’m not wrong. Compare any left wing comment section to a right wing one when a new event occurs and you’ll see it.

          Just look at people here. It’s passive engagent. The right are actively engaged. Hell just look up content alone. Theirs is much more creative the left is more generic and what has it produced lately? The right have all kinds of IP? Not sure if that’s the right word but it’s all owned by the right like pepe and such. The left just isn’t producing they’re consuming. Deny it all you want. Argue because you’re on the left, never thought about it and jus want to react. But I’m right.

            You can’t possibly believe that conservatives, who by definition have to believe lies like trickle down economics and how trans people are responsible for gas price hikes rather than a war in the middle east, are more informed than the left.

              Absolutely I can. And I know it is. If you want information and you start going to left and right spaces I will guarantee the right wing space will be more informative in real time. The left catches up way after. But there is no insight from the left until the right wing spaces back the story.

            Dude you’re giving the right credit for BOTS.

            That’s the engagement you’re talking about: right-wing bots driving the conversation toward the talking points the fascists want to use.

            Brilliant, brosef. Fucking brilliant. Come back later and incorrectly mansplain some more shit to us. This is fun!!!

            My point is that you wrote paragraphs of text but all you said was “leftists aren’t as informed as people on the right”. And you just said that over and over like 3 different times.

            I get that you’re trying to troll people but come on man, you can do better.

        Tucker is not a leftist. Everything you said makes absolutely no sense in this regard.

        I’m talking about Tucker Carlson specifically. This is a person with a history of lying and deceiving for profit. A person I’m better off not listening to even when they are crying wolf.

        What I’m not talking about are vague amalgamations of millions of people.

    I feel like if Trump tried to order that, even his cultists in the us army would refuse to risk the end of the world over losing in the midterms, but maybe even the little tiny faith I have in MAGA to not start a nuclear war for their daddy god emperor is too high. We’ll see I guess

    I imagine Putin’s quite happy ‘lending’ Iran a nuclear weapon so they can yeet it at Israel as a response to an American nuclear strike.

    With the rest of the west condemning ‘both sides’ it catastrophically brings down the whole western hegemony.

    First, Israel/Netanyahu’s only objective for Iran war was to reset it to stone age so as no obstacles to its Greater Israel project or palestinian extermination program remained.

    Article does not portray TC as informed in any realism. Pickaxe mountain target is set as a “victory bomb and retreat” campaign. This does not meet Israel’s ambitions. It can probably be attacked by conventional weapons as strike is performative anyway. A ground burst nuclear detonation is extreme evil because it contaminates the region for 1000s of years. Nuclear strikes on Japan were air bursts. People moved to Nagasaki and Hiroshima a week after, when the fires were out, with no abnormal health effects.

    Russia nuking Ukraine in response has no sense. There are supposed red lines to nuke Israel by Pakistan, out loud, and whispers of China and Russia red lines for the same.

    With those flaws, its enough to assume everything is made up.

        Yeah, Carlson has been notably antisemitic for years. Just because Israel accuses everyone who doesn’t like them of antisemitism, doesn’t mean that nobody who dislikes them is antisemitic.
