Washington elites want to saddle Trump with world war – Tucker Carlson

RT | November 26, 2024

Donald Trump’s enemies in Washington, DC are trying to prevent the incoming president from exposing their crimes by landing a world war on his lap when he is inaugurated in January, political commentator Tucker Carlson has claimed.

Carlson is a supporter of the agenda that helped Trump secure a second presidential term earlier this month. The Republican leader has promised to fix America’s problems and disengage the country from foreign conflicts.

“Permanent Washington doesn’t care about domestic policy,” the former Fox News host told the online political talk show Redacted on Monday. “What they care about is exercising power abroad: killing people, because it makes them feel like God, and making money. And that’s where the money is, trillions of dollars.”

The group he was referring to “is basically everyone in DC in both parties,” he added. Carlson claimed those people want Trump “to take the country to war either against Russia, or, far more likely, Iran.” The pro-war clique in the US capital perceives this scenario as “the only way to stop Trump and the disclosure that a Trump administration will bring,” he said.

An attack on Iran would result in a world war just as certainly as an escalation of tensions with Russia, Carlson added.

“This is not 2002. Iran is now part of a coalition that includes the biggest economies in the world and the largest militaries in the world,” he pointed out, naming Russia, China and Türkiye as likely backers of Tehran.

Anyone supporting the continuation of the Ukraine conflict lacks “the requisite wisdom to lead my country,” Carlson said.

“Anybody who would even consider having a war with Russia or Iran should not be in any position of power at all, in this administration or any other administration,” he added, describing the test as “super simple.”

Trump claimed during his campaign that he could end the Ukraine conflict in 24 hours. After his electoral victory, outgoing President Joe Biden authorized strikes with long-range Western missiles deep inside Russia, which Moscow warned in advance would cross a red line.

Moscow reacted by firing a new hypersonic missile at a military plant in Ukraine. The Oreshnik is understood to be nuclear-capable and have sufficient range to strike any target in Europe. President Vladimir Putin has claimed that Western anti-ballistic missile systems cannot intercept it.

  1. Tucker Carlson sometimes tells the truth, but he revealed his true allegiance when he called 9/11 truthers “parasites.” It’s still on YouTube: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=ckrxCEA2ShY

    • My issues or questions with Tucker are more recent.

      He has repudiated his past support of the GWOT/Iraq war, I’m not sure how explicit he has ever been recently about 9/11. At least he does not currently lean on it as part of his world view.

      Admitting blindness is not so easy.

  2. Noted. I can’t bring myself to embrace TC’s persona and positions with any passion, but here he’s good to go — BUT: “Anybody who would even consider having a war with Russia or Iran should not be in any position of power at all, in this administration or any other administration,” (Tucker) added, describing the test as “super simple.” Hmmm: I’ve been eyeing some damned disturbing discourse re one warmongering Brian Hook vis-a-vis Iran…what is TC’s “super simple” take on Brian Hook’s ascension to the Trump “Iran desk”? I’d like to hear it.
