But seriously Tucker is acting like a retard and being way to aggressive. Truthfully neither of them performed well in your clip but only one of them has access to actual information about Irans secret programs/activities. Tucker acts like knowing the number of people living in Iran is the equivalent of knowing if they attempted to or were a participant in the assassination of the president. Cruze seems confused because while he's been grilled about population numbers while he's thinking, "does this guy not know about assassination attempt xyz? I thought we were going to talk about Irans nuclear enrichment?."

Tucker just comes off way over his head here. He's not and never will be a politician, nor hold any office. He's not some international ideolog who can broker peace in the Middle East/Russia. He's the ex-Fox equivalent of a late night tv host. He should have stuck to that format of show instead of trying to be a political expose type.
I generally like Tucker's moral compass. The clip about the population I don't think helped either person and I haven't seen the whole interview but hopefully there is some good dialogue there. It's healthy that conservatives can debate ideology openly, otherwise you get the democrat situation where they don't know how to debate party positions and breaking from the hivemind makes you a fascist neo Nazi. They even struggle to discuss issues amongst themselves like troons crushing women's skulls in sports rings. That's how the party has lurched so far left in recent years. Pure momentum by the far left with nobody knowing how to engage the wing flaps.

There's a lot of focus in the media/social media every time there's a split about "MAGA civil war" when there's debate about spending bills or war etc, but it's extremely healthy that we can at least try to sort this shit out.
 
The worst are the conservative personalities who are playing both sides of the issue. The ones that say, "I agree their should be no boots on the ground, but Iran should not get a nuclear weapon." Well if intelligence reveals that Iran is "weeks away" from having a nuke after air strikes and sanctions, what option is left?
This is such a bullshit argument.

“Bu… But we can’t let them have a nuke!”

Why the f not?

If you’re old enough, you remember how they talked about how North Korea can’t have a nuke. Until they did, and then fuck all happened there ever since.

A nuke is nuclear insurance. That’s why Israel, Pakistan and North Korea has one.

The REAL reason that “Iran can’t have a nuke” is because “Then we can’t attack and regime change them”.

(Nevermind the fact that they’re NOT a few weeks away from having one.)

Look I get you're a troll but knowing the demographics and population is immensely important. How many of the 95million people living in Iran are going to see this as a positive? How many will turn to insurgency? Unless you nuke every populated area and depopulate it by 95% you will get Iraq 2.0 on cocaine

No, the "real reason" is that nuclear proliferation is bad. Look at India and Pakistan, who developed nukes for no other reason than "fuck that other guy." If Iran gets the bomb, the UAE and Saudi Arabia will immediately go nuclear, and they have the money and ties to make it happen. The problem with North Korea is what we're seeing now, with waning US influence in the region, Japan and South Korea are openly floating the possibility of getting nukes.

If you cannot see the inherent virtue in preventing regional nuclear arms races in unstable parts of the world, leading to an exponential increase in the possibilities of loose nukes or nuclear exchange, I can't help you.

They're excuse is always "Iran will then nuke Israel and then come after us!" If everyone in the Iranian government is so pants-on-head retarded that none question the order of pushing the button, they are officially dumber than Russians who almost started WW3 if not for one guy stopping it.
 
If you can't automatically see a problem with fundamentalist islamic clerics possessing nuclear weapons then I'm not sure what argument on a gossip site is going to sway you.
If religious fundamentalists having nukes is bad, why does Israel have them? They're the most war mongering people on the planet and they're all religious fundamentalists

isreal has a nukes and I m pretty sure Saduia Arabia does as well.

No proliferation is a joke, North Korea and Pakastan having nukes gives them better security

Also I know autist get set off but the mother fucking Ukraine had nukes and gave them up for a security garuntee that was not honored.

If the problem is the risks of an escalating nuclear arms race in the region, then the solution is obvious:

1: Negotiate with Iran, and have the Russians help them set up a nuclear power plant and deal with the enrichment.

2: Tell Israel to chill the f out. Get rid of the temptation to get a nuke by removing the major threat to Iran.

Either way, my original argument stands. The “threat” of an Iranian nuke is always presented as “OMG THEYLL NUKE US!”, which is an obvious bs argument. (Again: NK had nukes for decades, nothing much happened.) not in terms of proliferation.

As for proliferation, it’s not our problem. If you really believe nuclear proliferation is an issue, then maybe start with Israel.

HOW? Iran doesn’t even have ICBMs that can reach America, nevermind that they’re are years away from nuclear weapons. It’s such a retarded boomer argument.

(And hey: Its not like there’s a shortage of WMD in the form of chemical and biological weapons there already. If Iran can be trusted with them, seeing as they haven’t sent anthrax at Israel yet, then they can handle having some nukes.)

Fuck this boomer urge to play world policeman. “OHMAHGAWD WE NEED TO SPEND BILLIONS TO DO SHIT IN THE MIDDLE EAST THAT WONT AFFECT US! MUH ISRAEL!”

Can’t wait for boomers to die off. The younger generations are far less likely to want to send people to die for Israel.

BTW: Notice how all this has totally sucked away attention for shit that DOES affect Americans. Like illegals and activist lib judges.

Israel shouldn't have them either

Pakistan and India have them. If you know anything about that region, they both hate each other. Yet we never stopped them
 
Who's "we" fatty, gonna drop your overweight mormon on Iran oppa bombing style? Do you crave death because you couldn't even rizz autismo pussy on the farms? View attachment 7520811
You are not PPP. The HES FAT meme rolls off my blubber like water over a raincoat. Iran is not our friend. They have killed plenty of Americans and kidnapped our diplomats. Fuck them. Send the B-2's and drop the MOPs on those mountain covered nuke facilities. Trump promised Iran wouldn't have a nuke when I voted for him. Promises made, promises kept.
