I say it is in this case. So we are at 1-1. Maybe we should take a vote.

Oh that's right..... we did.

I didn't want to start a thread about it, but here is Tucker outright lying about Churchill "jailing" the "Opposition Party" and praising Oswald Mosley. Mosley was not elected to anything, was the head of the "British Union of Fascists", and literally had his wedding at Goebbels house with Hitler in attendance


Someone that can blatantly lie about factual historical events like that? Their opinions on anything shouldn’t be given the time of day. Used to love Tucker, dude sold out his integrity for clicks

In WWII we had Tokyo Rose. In 2026 we have Tehran Tuck.

He was an MP for the better part of 2 decades under both the Tory Party and the Labour Party before becoming a true fascist. He was also from a prominent aristocratic family in Staffordshire that went back to the early 17th century, prior to the English Civil War. He was considered to be serious political opposition and extremely dangerous to the ruling class, given his aristocratic background, charisma and appeal to the working class. Had Mosley's brand of fascism modeled what you saw in Spain or Austria instead of the Nazis, he would have likely been a true threat. However, the visceral antisemitism of his brand of fascism was not as appealing in Britain as it was on the continent.

There are people on this very website that will gleefully deep throat old Tucker for his gay opinions. It's hard to fathom.

He was LONG out of office by the time period that Tucker is referring to, and was not a member of any actual "Opposition Party".

Exactly. I’m typically very isolationist in my leanings. But no one from the anti war perspective has been able to give me a decent answer as to why we should tolerate Iran enriching uranium. They are already at 60%. Probably enough for a dirty bomb and well beyond anything applicable for civilian purposes.

Why not?


You brought in the moral framework, so on that front, mine is shaped by the church. From my perspective and from basically all Catholic commentary I have seen on the matter, save Michael Knowles, this doesn't come close to checking the six boxes of just war theory.

We bombed them proactively because Israel said they were going in. This automatically negates the just cause.

Proportionality seems to be going out the window with Israel bombing oil fields. We also have the school bombing incident.

This wasn't a last resort as negotiations were still on going between the US and Iran.

Legitimate Authority will be in question the second boots hit the ground without approval, I think pretty much every administration in recent memory has overstepped the boundaries of their legitimate authority with the use of the military. That has sort of created a lot of this mess in the middle east.

Right intention is one that I can't answer and only the administration can answer for.

Reasonable hope for success is the one clear check mark as we can squash Iran like a bug if we want.

Negotiations in which Iran started with the position that they had enough material for 11 nuclear warheads

Here are Rubio's exact words:

“We knew that there was going to be an Israeli action. We knew that that would precipitate an attack against American forces. And we knew that if we didn’t preemptively go after them before they launched those attacks, we would suffer higher casualties,” he said.

“We went proactively in a defensive way to prevent them from inflicting higher damage,” Rubio said.


This is proactive bombing, therefor this automatically does not fulfill just war criteria. Just war requires every box to be checked, not one.

Yet when people pushed back against the initial bombing of Iran last year, we were told it was necessary and worth it because we completely destroyed their nuclear capabilities. So you'll have to excuse my skepticism on the Iran nuclear capability argument

Sorry, I meant the part about us going in with Israel because they were going to Leroy Jenkins, which would get us hit, anyway.

I know what he said. You didn't watch the entire clip within context and then took those words out of context to fit your agenda.

Then quote me, in his words not yours, the context that I am excluding.

Are you just going to assume everyone who recognizes Tucker's bought and paid for dishonesty must listen to the smarmy Levin? Seems like a pussified cop out.
