Snip:

American journalist Tucker Carlson said the conflict over Iran has bankrupted the US and brought an end to the American empire.

"The United States has gone bankrupt" because of the war with Iran, threatening the dollar, and many other things, Carson said in a video on YouTube.

According to Carlson, because of the war with Iran and involvement in other conflicts in the Middle East, the US was forced to "borrow trillions of dollars." Servicing that debt is currently devastating the federal budget, he added. According to Carlson, everyone knew that the Republicans were headed for "a major defeat" in the US midterm elections to Congress precisely because of the war with Iran and its consequences.

Sure, but I think voicing my discontent with this fucker is just as important as posting his straightjacketing. Again, his op has become beyond predictable, his ascendency within the American reactionary movement is beyond predictable. I’m not going to take 8 years of ‘giving it’ to this guy until he becomes president, puts everyone in a concentration camp, and starts a war with China.

    What are you on about?

    Nobody is 'giving it to him'. The point is to watch how the extremely obvious op is proceeding and how it affects the rhetoric of the right-wing going forward. Nobody here thinks that Tucker Carlson is actually serious about making peace or whatever.

    That said, complaining about posters complaining is a time-honored tradition that I will never stand in the way of.
