Tucker Carlson says Trump is right and the U.S. should "rethink America's alliances," seems to be echoing #Russia's Foreign Minister Lavrov's talking points about Iraq and Libya. Rand Paul immediately agrees. Fox News will now actively push Russia our adversary as the new ally.

(7,725 posts)And The West won. The winner determines the future, and determines the remedy for war. Don't forget that comrade Carlson. Putin has zero say in it. Maybe putin can extend an olive branch by giving back Crimea. Retreating from Ukraine. Admitting they shot down the jet and killed 300 people. and above all attacked our elections, amongst other things.
As an aside...China, can get out of the Pacific Ocean. international Waters. Stop manufacturing ports and airbases in waters they do not own. Just a thought. Maybe Chinas mid-ocean bases can jam GPS signals. I only say this bc since they have been there...I have never in my life witnessed more U.S. Naval Ships colliding, cargo ships colliding. Maybe china is attacking the satellite structure or distorting the signal enough to cause damage...and never be traced. Like putin thinks about his election hack. He's going down.
When the Russian People stand up like they did when Secretary Clinton encouraged a peaceful Arab Spring-that overflowed into ru ska, we can turn up the heat on putin at home and get him off his offense. When the people stand up in ruska...putin gets disheveled.
We need to start punching back. When leaders who are dictators are gone...the peoples of the world reap the benefit. We aren't each others enemy. They are oppressed over there. Like we will be here. It's grim. Take your own pulse from the last 18 months...this is the best it's going to get if we let this coup keep sliding towards the russian system.
YO GOP. What do you as the rank and file get from all this? Have you asked yourselves? Other than saying..."My guy won.Ahem". What's in it for you? Folks...google russian standard of living. Get informed. Whoever you are...stuff can get demonstrably worse. FOR YOU and your family and friends. Better cut your losses and come on over to the winning team. Switch to being a Democrat. You aren't caving in to us, You're taking an action to show you love yourself, your family, and the future of this magnificent Country we call home.

(7,725 posts)not sure about you but I was thinking about lots of stuff early in life, politics being one of the fewest. TC seems like a rich kid and Id guess he didnt spend too much time thinking about russia. As always I could be wrong. I think the real espionage cold war started right after WW2. Especially in the late forties and early fifties. The 60s too. the bomb drills at school...in addition to fire drills, and people having literal bomb shelters in their yards. Tucker may have been engaged in that behavior as well, but Im a child of the Public Schools System and remember the fear well.
that's what i meant in a nutshell. I think tucker just wants to talk all over everybody.

(1,977 posts)that the Russians hacked more than the DNC server. They only publicly released the DNC emails. Its like this has gone down the memory hole. They hacked Rubio's email and that of many other Republicans. Also too, shortly after taking office, Trump mysteriously has meetings with a bunch of Repubs who were previously very critical who instantly toned down their talk after meeting with Trump. The likelihood that other Republicans are being blackmailed due to illegal money or sex tapes is very high. Sure, some of these guys in the House are just complete tools. But the behavior of others is a little hard to reconcile.

Either by threats or bribes.
