Have you stepped over to being far right and following Tucker and trying to expand his listener audience ?

I wonder how many of his followers and viewers come out of Iranian/Chinese bot farms. Im sure the the real listeners have the complete library of Ostara in the original fin de siècle Viennese dialect on their bookshelves.

He married into money. That might help him a little if he does.

You've demonstrated your stuffier ignorance on the matter too many times for me to bother wasting time arguing with you.

Tucker Carlson, subject of this thread, is not a “leftist”.

You close your eyes to reality a lot, pontificating as you do from your rascist, anti-semitic, authoritarian homeland.

Sometimes I wonder how many here are bots. Same topics by the same people over and over: Jews and Trump.

Got it. If I start a topic, you will flee too.

Tucker Carlson is a conspiracist loon that spews jew hate to a limited number of Republicans, while his rantings are welcome to a whole bunch of Dems. After all, which party fields a SENATE candidate with a Totenkopf on his chest?

We’re all entitled to our views on Tucker Carlson but that’s not the subject of the thread.

A reminder:

“Will Tucker Carlson run for President and if he does will he make ditching support for Israel his core platform offering?”

Try harder ; Hitler, however, refused to acknowledge any debt to Lanz and his paper. After Austria was annexed by Nazi Germany in 1938, Lanz hoped for Hitler's patronage, but Hitler banned him from publishing his writings, and most notably copies of Ostara were removed from circulation. After the war, Lanz accused Hitler of having not only stolen but corrupted his idea, and also of being of "inferior racial stock".

No. Tucker Carlson is a conspiracist drooling psychologically disturbed jew hater who's views have been rejected by Republicans. He will run as an independent as a Jew Hater as siphon off votes from the anti-semtic Democrat party who;s philosophy mandates jew hate.

Hows that?

You, of all people, should understand this. If you support leaving NATO, abandoning Europe, and treating old allies with contempt, then do not imagine your favorite side is immune. The same politics that turns on friends today can turn on Israel tomorrow. What is being tested now is not just alliances, but the illusion that any of them are permanent under a man who values loyalty only while it serves him.

Calling for other members to meet their financial requirements means you support leaving NATO?

No shortage of old allies treating the US with contempt.

There is a difference between good allies and bad allies. You guys are bad allies

Burden-sharing disputes happen inside alliances all the time, and I have said many times that Trump may actually have done Europe a favor by behaving the way he has. I was saying something similar already in the late 1980s, when I was in the army and saw what happened after the Wall fell. We were slowly buying into a false sense of security, reducing our own defense capacity while trusting guarantees that were never as solid as people liked to believe. Our armies were downgraded and reshaped into smaller, more mobile, more professional forces designed increasingly for operations abroad rather than territorial defense at home. We even changed the constitutional framework, or at least the interpretation of it, to make that possible. And all of this began long before 9/11.

So yes, the real question is whether the alliance still has value even when allies irritate, disappoint, or disrespect one another.

There is no shortage of allies showing contempt toward the U.S. at times. But alliances are not built on emotion. They are built on interests, geography, and long-term security realities. If contempt alone is enough to break them, then they were never as strong as people claimed.

And if Trump keeps pushing in that direction, then perhaps NATO as we knew it will not survive under him. If that happens, Europe will have to do what it should have done much earlier: think long term, rebuild serious capacity, and prepare to face the future with far less dependence on the United States. Canada will likely become an even closer partner in that effort, perhaps Europe’s most natural friend on the American continent, and Australia may well move in the same direction, with New Zealand likely not far behind.

I will try to take you at least a little seriously and give you a proper answer, even though I doubt it will make much difference, since you already seem set in your ways, somewhat disoriented, and not especially well informed. Still, I will give it a go.

Mark Rutte, the Secretary General of NATO, in case that detail matters at all, made clear during his visit to Norway for Cold Response 26 how important Norway is to NATO’s northern flank and to Arctic security. And he was still underlining the wider strategic importance of allies like Norway today, after meeting Trump in Washington, at the very moment some people seem eager to talk as if such allies no longer matter.

Norway is not some expendable side actor, but a strategically placed ally in the High North, important for monitoring Russian naval activity and securing the North Atlantic links on which both Europe and the United States depend.

And this is not abstract theory. In cooperation with the U.K., Norway has just taken part in a joint operation tracking and deterring Russian submarines operating in the High North and North Atlantic, around British and allied waters, near critical undersea infrastructure. The point was not only surveillance, but deterrence against possible sabotage near cables and pipelines. That underlines once again why Norway is strategically important, not just for Europe, but for the wider North Atlantic security picture.

So the real question is not whether Norway matters. It clearly does. The real question is whether the U.S. can afford to weaken or walk away from NATO and still believe it loses nothing. Europe would adapt, however painfully, and build new long-term arrangements if forced to. But if Trump keeps pushing the U.S. further away from its allies, then what kind of future does the wider American public actually want, not just MAGA, especially when even MAGA itself is divided?

And if some MAGAs think Russia is a great ally, they should remember that Russia’s economy, in nominal GDP terms, is only around the size of Italy’s. That is hardly the foundation of some invincible superpower myth.
