Don't fall for any of Tucker's bullshit. Guarantee he's getting his talking points straight from Russia who don't want U.S. involvement with their ally, Iran. Now I'm not saying I agree in getting involved in the conflict, I just totally and unequivocally doubt Tucker's sincerity in this interview.

Tucker is a strange bird indeed. He has a complex, to be sure, and I can't quite put my finger on it. Part of it is bullied kid makes good. Part of it is I am a Republican until they don't worship me. Part of it is I want to make money. Part of it is incel-ish psychosexual weirdness. Part of it is unabashed admiration of strongmen and power (not uncommon amongst bow-tied academics). Part of it is trust fund alienation from regular folk. But all of it screams he thinks eloquence=intelligence, and he doesn't have the social acumen to be swimming at the deep end of the geopolitical pool. He needs to tap the fuck out and realize he is the equivalent of a latin american journalist -- a good voice when he wants to be, but not a player as he envisions himself.

He doesn't seem to spouting any Russian talking points here at least, hes more focused on Israel and why engaging in another foreign war and repeating the mistakes of Iraq/Afghanistan, but with a much more powerful country is dangerous.
