the first link here goes to tucker carlson speaking about trump, bolton and 'our' wars focusing in this instance on the onrushing iran situation;
Last night Fox’s Tucker Carlson praised Trump’s decision not to go forward with a planned attack against Iran which the president claims would have killed approximately 150 people in response to a downed drone, which if true would
have been a profoundly barbaric response to a broken toy plane and
would have led to retaliations from Iran, followed by a chain of
military actions which could have escalated God knows how far.
Carlson, who has been credited with
persuading Trump against further military escalations with Iran, lit
into the neoconservative elements of Trump’s cabinet with unprecedented
viciousness. He called National Security Advisor John Bolton a
“bureaucratic tapeworm” who never suffers any consequences for his
relentless warmongering and accusing him and his collaborators of
deliberately engineering a provocation to lead to direct military
confrontation. Carlson urged Trump to expunge the influencers who are
pushing for a war with Iran, and cautioned that it would cost him
re-election.
“Bombing Iran would have ended [Trump’s] political career in a minute,” Carlson said. “There’d be no chance of re-election after that.”
Carlson’s first guest, The American Conservative‘s Robert Merry, plainly stated the
likely reason for Bolton’s deceitful manipulations, saying that
Americans are typically reluctant to go to war and citing a few of the
historical instances in which they were tricked into consenting to it by
those who desire mass military violence.
“So, you’re saying that there is a long, almost unbroken history of
lying our way into war?” Carlson asked his guest rhetorically............https://www.lewrockwell.com/2019/06/no_author/the-fact-that-americans-need-to-be-deceived-into-war-proves-their-underlying-goodness/
