Tucker Carlson og andre isolationister har misforstået MAGA + Tysklands Merz støtter Israel mod Iran + oberst Richard Kemp

De tror at MAGA er America ONLY og ikke America FIRST

Her er en først interessant artikel om Tucker Carlson vs Trump og en god video af Rubin

Du behøver ikke at se hele videoen ( midmindre du gerne vil 🙂 ) . Jeg foreslår fra 6:20 til 24:40

War is generally a horrible horrible thing. But when it is done on a cost benefit basis, it’s just like any other decision. Is it more costly in lives, treasure or liberty to wage war or not. Is surrender to an existential enemy better than a war for the survival of your people, however you may define “your people”?

Then we get to the issue of preemptive strikes. In theory, it is always vastly cheaper in every way to destroy an enemy’s capacity to destroy you before they have it than it is to defend yourself against that capacity and face all out war as in WW1 and WW2.

Israel’s strike on the Osirak reactor in Iraq was an excellent move. Not even the Russians, who were the Iraqi protectorates at the time during the Cold War, wanted Iraq to have the bomb. So there was agreement between the US, The USSR and Israel that Israel should fly a sortie over the reactor, take it out, the Soviets would object at the Security Council, the US would veto the objection and end of story. Everyone was happy and certainly a lot safer.

Iran has been stating for decades that it intends to build nuclear bombs and use them against Israel and the United States. They have spent billions on facilities and technology to do exactly that. And, each year that goes by where this capacity was not removed, has made the operation more risky, more expensive and more dangerous to do.

Clearly however, the point de bascule has arrived. The chance to remove the Mullah’s regime’s capacity to build and deliver nukes is fading. And once they have a deterrent like that, they clearly will increase their status as regional hegemon far beyond what it already is. And yes, it already is. Yemen, Lebanon, and under Al Assad, Syria, although I don’t know the extent of Iranian influence in that country now.

So Tucker Carlson’s curiously naive position on all war being bad seems vaguely reminiscent of all the anti-war protests of the past. Maybe he should have been a character on the 70s & 80s TV show M*A*S*H where the cool kids all mocked the US, patriotism as an antiquated primitive modus for the perpetually square, and the really cool kids would get drunk all the time and bitch about how the war they where fighting against North Korea had no justification was a total waste of time and resources.

In essence, the concept of pro-war Vs anti-war is about as much a dialectic con as pro modern medication Vs anti-modern medication. It depends what is wrong with you, what else you can do about it, and the cost benefit of those meds. Assuming of course, unlike during Covid you can actually get real information about what you’re taking.

Natural Vs. artifact is about the same. I think taking properly made aspirin when you need it is a lot safer than scraping the bark of a White Willow tree and taking your chances on the dose and whatever other crap might be mixed in with that bark.

So when the real issue is A, the left will elevate the issue to one or more layers above and beyond A to make the case that you must be against A.

War with Iran should not be supported because war is bad.

Corporate medicine should never be taken because corporations are bad.

One of the best examples of this which worked all too well until it didn’t, was the concept of “Asian Grooming Gangs” to describe exclusively Muslim Child-Sex-slave gangs.

When you hear Asian Grooming Gangs you might visualize a small gay Taiwanese hair dresser. The facts though, are horrifying beyond any decent British person’s ability to believe it was taking place at the time. Which is why they pulled the level of abstraction trick. Make it about Asians so the Islamic connection and motive won’t be identified. Also so that the plot to continue to import millions of Muslim men would not be interfered with by people who don’t want their daughters turned into industrial strength sex slaves for Muslim men.

These are just two egregious examples and of course, current ones. But it is a constant in the arsenal of Leftist dialectical devices.

Feel free to add any others you notice to the comments and as I remember them, I’ll add the odd one here.

Jeg kan sagtens forstå at amerikanere – også konservative – ikke vil have flere eventyr som Afghanistan og Irak. Krige, der varede lang tid og ikke opnåede ret meget

Men når man nu VED at Iran siden mullaherne kom til magten i 1979 HELE TIDEN har støttet terror mod USA og Israel , en terror, der har kostet mange livet, og kaldt dem den store satan og den lille satan , så man konkludere at hvis Iran regimet skaffer sig atomvåben , er det livsfarligt ikke kun for Israel, men for hele vesten

Hvad vil USA og vesten gøre, hvis Iran så – under hånden – forærede Houtierne eller lignende muslimske terrorister en atombombe, der så blev “brugt” ? Teoretisk set kunne bomben jo også komme fra Nordkorea, så man ved jo ikke med sikkerhed hvem der står bag

Det er bare eet eksempel, men det viser de enorme problemer for vesten, hvis det skete

I modsætning til Rusland er beslutningstagerne hos Irans mullaher IKKE rationelle som i Moskva , men derimod religiøse fanatikere, som ikke vil være bange for at bruge atomvåben

Og hvis man accepterer ovenstående præmisse, så må man også arbejde for at HINDRE at Iran får A-våben.

Og det gør man IKKE ved – som den franske vatpik Macron – bare at sige at Iran ikke må få Atomvåben. Et mantra er desværre ikke nok

I dag er der kun 2-3 lande, der tør tage den nødvendige konsekvens – Israel og USA – resten af vesten vrider blot hænder og gentager mantraet, mens de kritiserer Israel.

Det er derfor opløftende at se at Tyskland nye leder Merz har skiftet mening :

German Chancellor Friedrich Merz said on Tuesday that the complete destruction of Iran’s nuclear weapons program could be on the agenda if Tehran does not back down and return to the negotiating table.

“The Israeli army is obviously unable to accomplish that. It lacks the necessary weapons. But the Americans have them,” said Merz in an interview with broadcaster ZDF on the sidelines of the Group of Seven (G7) summit in Canada.

Israel may need the 30,000-pound GBU-57 Massive Ordnance Penetrator, which uses its weight and sheer kinetic force to reach deeply buried targets and then explode, to destroy Iran’s Fordo uranium enrichment facility, which is deep underground. But Israel does not have the munition or the bomber needed to deliver it — the penetrator is currently delivered by the United States’ B-2 stealth bomber.

“This is the dirty work Israel is doing for all of us. We are also victims of this regime. This mullah regime has brought death and destruction to the world,” Merz said of the ongoing strikes.

Speaking to broadcaster Welt, Merz said the leadership in Tehran has been weakened by Israel’s attacks in the past few days.

“This regime is very weakened and will probably not return to its former strength, making the future of the country uncertain. We will have to wait and see,” he said.

Merz added that the Europeans’ offer of diplomatic assistance, should talks resume, still stands as it did before the attacks.

“If a new situation were to arise, Germany, France and the United Kingdom would again be prepared to provide diplomatic assistance, as they were until last Thursday,” he said.

Asked whether he thought the United States might get involved in the military campaign against Iran, Merz said he believed there was “no decision yet from the American government.”

“It now depends very much on how far the mullah regime is prepared to return to the negotiating table,” he said. “If not, there could be further developments of this kind.”

While the leaders of Britain, France and Germany have been sharply critical of Israel for its conduct of the war with the Hamas terror group in the Gaza Strip, they have expressed varying degrees of support for Israel since it launched its strikes on Iran’s nuclear and weapons systems on Friday.

Foreign policy experts attributed the comity on Iran to Europe’s alarm at the recent report by United Nations experts that Tehran is closer than ever to a nuclear weapons breakout. Another factor is Iran’s alliance with Russia in its war against Ukraine.

Scheduled nuclear talks on Sunday between US Special Envoy Steve Witkoff and Iran’s Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi were canceled when the enmity between Israel and Iran escalated into unprecedented open conflict in the early hours of Friday morning, when Israel launched a major offensive against Iran and its nuclear program, hitting nuclear sites, missile bases and top military officials.

Israel says its sweeping assault is necessary to prevent its longtime adversary from getting any closer to building an atomic weapon. At the beginning of the campaign last Friday, it said the situation had become an immediate existential threat to the Jewish state.

So far, 24 people have been killed and more than 500 wounded in Iran’s ballistic missile attacks, launched in response to the surprise campaign against the Islamic Republic.

Israeli strikes on Iran have killed at least 224 people, according to Iranian officials.
