Did we lose a direct war against Russia? No.

Did we lose a proxy war against Russia? Absolutely.

Would it take a direct kinetic war with Russia to force them out of Ukraine? Yes.

Benghazi has zero to do with the topic at hand, so you are either a retard or trying to deceitfully change the subject

The US did not fight a war in Libya, point blank. That is a fact. You are living in a fantasy land if you believe we did. A few air strikes doesn’t count as a war

Loved Tucker Carlson when I first came upon his show in 2004 or so.

Unfortunately, he has really dumbed down his shite for whatever audience he thinks he needs over the past 10-15 years. This and his whole “look how cheap groceries in Russia are” events are two great examples.

Correct on all 3.

There is a very, very big difference between losing a proxy war and losing a hot war. One just costs money.

Ukraine should be left on its own, it’s not our problem

He still has occasional hits. I ignore his foreign policy videos now. Comes off as propaganda for Russia, Iran and China

Russia operates air defense systems on par with any western one. Russia wouldn’t let any “capable” Air Force work with impunity because they wouldn’t be able to.

Don’t get me wrong, I don’t think Carlson all of a sudden is an idiot. Far from it, in my opinion.

But he evidently is trying to play to a certain crowd. Exactly who, I can only guess, but in doing so, it’s making him at least publicly go down some idiotic paths/takes.

I’m not sure he really believes some of the shite he says these days.

I agree. Overall I still think he’s very good.

This would be true if they were pumping money for the war and not just for kickbacks... The ones that were funding with American taxpayer dollars don't care if the war was a loss as long as they got their money....

He may be alluding to how poor some of our weapons did against Russia, that and the fact that supposedly Russia can manufacture ammo at about 5 times what we can. This is another reason we need to onshore more manufacturing for defense/military.

The mistake Tucker is making is thinking we were in the proxy war to win it. Look at our history of proxy wars during the Cold War. Even the ones where we spilt American blood, it was more about destroying whatever the other side gets than taking it.

it has everything to do with the topic at hand, we committed special forces and naval air power enforcing a "no fly zone", that was some of your gal hillary and good citizen john mccain's finest work!

you need to understand something jethro, the UNIPARTY's forever wars were a big reason trump won.

You really are special

I am against funding ukraines war, you can spare me the uniparty speech

If you think Russia has or could beat the US in a war

Some of you are just straight up weird, clearly part of the Make Russia Great Again movement

Russia beating Ukraine does not = Russia beating US

Nor does enforcing a no fly zone in Libya = US fought a war in Libya

Our proxies just weren’t that good and didn’t fight hard enough. And hundreds of thousands of military aged Ukrainian men fled their country rather than stand and fight for it. I think Putin is an a-hole and enemy of the USA but I also don’t give a frick about Ukraine.
