thats so risky. if hezbollah attacks a us base then iran is gonna get the usa on its ass instantly. not unlikely they would, even by accident. also dont even know strategically if thats a good idea or it would get hezbollah f***ed

hes a cuck to trump lol he just rolls with whatever works at the time its insane. none of these guys know anything anyways.

i see it moreso as them preparing just in case because involvement seems more and more likely every day, esp if a us base is attacked. doesnt mean they will go in even if trump is warm to the idea, but who knows, the guy is nuts and a warhawk lol.

That was S lol

This is a baby study of 54 participants

Did people similarly know the whole WMDs thing was a farce from the jump back with Bush?

I was hella young but it felt like people actually believed that for a bit at the time. Feels like they're not even trying with this "excuse"

shhh

@grok is this true?

Try asking @babygrok, it is a baby study after all

(I'm pretty sure if this poll went up to 2025, it would be around 70-80% believing they were deliberately misled)

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Public_opinion_in_the_United_States_on_the_invasion_of_Iraq
Wikipedia also has a pretty extensive read with citations on the subject

Pre-Iraq War there was actually a genuine debate in the U.S. over the topic, and protests over US entry. It wasn’t quite as simple as U.S. made up their lie and everyone believed it.

UN inspectors themselves said they didn’t find anything and few were convinced which is why they sent Sec. Powell to straight up give false intel to the Security Council

They’re indeed not trying this time tbf this is built around a narrative of Iranian nukes that’s been around for decades. A lot of the back work has already been done for 25+ years. Iran does actually have uranium but that’s not an excuse. Our own intel says they weren’t close to nukes

Even Luke knew the population

Just go to 50:00 and watch for 5 minutes

There’s no way I can watch this whole thing but I hate ted enough that I might have to

Moral panic

Again, there’s nothing theatrical about a major politician exposing his stupidity on national television. I don’t give a s*** about Tucker Carlson this isn’t a Tucker Carlson documentary. It’s an interview where the interviewer exposed a politician for being an absolute idiot

That isn’t theater it’s public embarrassment and it’s important that it not only happened, but happens more often. I don’t care if it’s the devil interviewing them. Hold them accountable to their words in the moment and force them to trip up on their lies.

And tell @RASIE to @ me next time he tries to post some condescending s*** that completely misses the mark

-Interview where Ted Cruz exposes himself

-conversation itt revolves around the interviewer and his character

Y’all don’t give a s*** about the substance or the topic or the implications lol

Ted sounds absolutely insane. Its wild to compliment Tuck right here but hes showing some journalistic integrity right here. Sad that it took Brinksmanship to show it tho.

Why is this f***ing Cuban throat goating Israel so hard

Wasn't "America First" inherently isolationist? Like they talked about contracting its military presence and interventionism globally but now, if you aren't down with launching a new war, you're somehow in conflict with the doctrine? What is the difference between them?

The fact it’s Carlson on the other end is melting their minds lmao

Wait til they find out journalistic integrity died in the 1960s when networks began integrating the news into their ratings systems

What’s a good one you’ve seen?
