A Bewildered Tucker Carlson Takes on Delusional Senator Graham Over Syrian Strikes

I want you to watch this video, so that you know what you’re up against. We aren’t dealing with rational people. Here is the Senator from South Carolina, a man with great power in this country, telling Tucker Carlson with a straight face that taking out Saddam was a good idea. Additionally, he said taking out Libya was a good idea. Now he wants to take out Assad, because ‘he’s killing his own people.’

It’s called a civil war, actually, and he wasn’t killing anyone until American sponsored ISIS invaded his country.

For about a year, I’ve been blogging a lot of politics, hoping that Trump’s message of ‘America first’ was genuine. I see now, much to my dismay, that’s not the case. While some of you don’t take issue with the Syrian attack, I view it as the rubicon that Trump crossed to be part of the club, one with John McCain, Lindsey Graham and Nancy Pelosi.

This isn’t about supporting Assad, but about setting priorities and properly analyzing risk. In many respects, this is much akin to trading. We place bets and hope that they work out. But any good trader knows that the monetary loss isn’t the most important factor in a bad trade, but the time lost in hoping for a return.

How does destroying Assad help you? How does spending $84m on 59 cruise missiles help towards that elusive infrastructure bill?

It doesn’t.

There will be plenty of true Trumpers out here to fulfill your need for partisan propaganda. I can no longer provide such a service, as I’ve decided that I don’t trust the man anymore.

Anyone who placates filth like the man featured in the video below is undeserving of my valuable time.

Please listen to his words, interpret his rationale, analyze his cadence and body language — and juxtapose that against Tucker’s — and tell me Graham isn’t a dangerous person.

And here’s the other side to the story.

Rep. Gabbard: Syria missile strike 'illegal and unconstitutional' https://t.co/ByYVqH5Q0H pic.twitter.com/fdpp5gGa4t

Rumors swirling amidst the White House is that Bannon is a goner. Life long democrats, Jared Kushner and Gary Cohn, are filling the void. I am almost certain Trump is about to do a 180 on his immigration policy.

But I didn’t come here to discuss dumb shit like that. I’ve come for your money.

In light of Trump’s glorious Syrian missile strike last night, the Great America PAC wants to know how you feel about it and is asking if you’re ready to stand with them?

Well are you? Please, they truly do want your money and have demonstrated an ability to really go the extra distance for it.

It’s probably nothing, but it might be something.

Russia sent the Admiral Grigorovich RFS-494 from the Black Sea heading towards the direction of the USS Porter and USS Ross off the coast of Syria.

I read a report saying that one of the two American destroyers left the area to rearm.

The state of the art Russian ship, a frigate, was built in 2010, armed with Kalibir and 3m55 Oniks cruise and anti-ship missiles, a 100mm A-190 Arsenal naval gun, RBU-6000 rocket launcher and 533mm torpedo tubes.

The Syrian Ambassador made a futile attempt to convince the UN to condemn the actions of the US, saying the intel used to justify the attacks were ’empty pretexts’ and ‘fabricated arguments’ provided by terrorists.

He said Syria didn’t have any chemical weapons and that the United States has a long, rich, history of misleading the UNSC — mentioning the time when Colin Powell convinced the world that Iraq had yellow cake — which led to the war that led to the complete destabilization of the area, in addition to hundreds of thousands of lives.

The Russian Ambassador repeated his talking points, regarding US atrocities in Iraq and how the Syrian strike was nothing more than a distraction from the events transpiring in Mosul. Moreover, he challenged the council to investigate the chemical weapons attack, which killed dozens of innocents in Idlib — for it will produce nothing but disappointment — proving their narrative is wrong.

NOTE: There are reports circulating that ‘tens of thousands’ of American troops are en route to Syria.

Things are moving pretty rapidly, but I’m a fast consumer of information and have been processing everything to conclude what might occur next. By all accounts, whether you agree with it or not, the Trump administration has gone ‘all in’ on taking out Assad. I know it doesn’t appear that way now, after a few dozen cruise missiles made a crash landing in Syria last night; but it’s gonna happen.

Trump, through Nikki Haley, will pursue an ‘international coalition’ and begin making demands, which will either be ceded to or military operations will be pursued. Northern Syria will be designated a ‘safe zone’, placing US assets on the ground, so that we can build a base there. Using that logic, if Trump is open to the idea of intervening with military assets to protect innocents in Syria, it’s entirely possible he will also change his mind on accepting Syrian refugees.

More or less, Russia will do nothing — as long as they could keep their bases in the Mediterranean.

Look for these actions to lead to a reversal of the deal Obama made with Iran, which could spark a furious rally in crude.

I don’t believe anything we’ve seen can hurt stocks, unless Russia intervenes. I do, however, believe it has created a reason to get long treasuries and gold. Also, by placating the neocons and democrat war mongers and Russia-phobes, Trump might be able to get more done in terms of tax reform, healthcare and infrastructure.

We will not be building a wall. Don’t even think about it.

The uniparty of war requires sacrifice by way of blood and clay. Trump has given it to them and is now part of the club.

Senate Majority leader wanted to show his support for Trump’s decision to bomb Syria last night, commending the President for his actions. Moreover, he believes the decisive action against Assad, a gasser of babies, sends a strong signal to the fucking Iranians, North Koreans and “the Russians.”

Ergo, America is back. If you fuck with us, we will unleash hell fire on you and salt your fields so that life can never exist on your clay again.

She will not be providing safe quarter for anyone who gasses their own people.

The bedraggled nation of Bolivia, home of the leftist scum Che Guevara, wanted the UN to have a closed door meeting to discuss the events that transpired last night — where the President exercised his massive muscles — destroying a Syrian airbase, alongside his entire political base in exchange for a new one, but Haley would have none of it.

She issued the following statement.

If you want to defend gassers of people, fuckers, you’ll have to do it in the sunlight. After all, sunlight is the best antiseptic, isn’t it?

Fucking fuckers. Bombs away.

UPDATE

The Russians don’t want it. We can wipe out their little bullshit anti-aircraft batteries within a few hours, in between snacks. Here’s the Russian PM, trying to save face, saying we just missed clashing with Russia — as if we cared. Duh.

— LiveSquawk (@LiveSquawk) April 7, 2017

Russian General, Igor Konashenkov, likely drunk at the time of this interview, said the U.S. should “carefully consider the possible consequences” — referring to the possibility of airstrikes in Syria.

The General warned the U.S. he’d shoot down our airplanes if the opportunity arose — because they’d pose a threat to Russian military personnel in the area. We’ll see about that, buster.

“Today, the Syrian army has effective S-200, Buk and other air defense systems, which have undergone technical renovation in the past year,” he said.

“I remind US ‘strategists’ that air cover for the Russian military bases in Tartus and Hmeymim includes S-400 and S-300 anti aircraft missile systems, the range of which may come as a surprise to any unidentified flying objects,” he added.

Can someone please remind the Russian’s that we do not care about their so called ‘anti-aircraft’ batteries?

I’ve never seen such apathy amongst ardent Trump supporters, until now.

All of this, of course, is great news for democrats, since the loss of Trump’s base all but assures he’ll be a one term President. Nevertheless, lets see what the people are saying.

Paul Joseph Watson is off the Trump train.

Guys, I can't vehemently oppose destabilizing the Syrian government for 6 years and then support it just because Trump did it. Sorry.

Nigel Farage, British Russian spy, is concerned.

Many Trump voters will be worried about this military intervention. Where will it end?

Professional liar, Brian Williams, practically jerks off to the scenes of cruise missiles being launched, en route to kill people. You have to see this.

And head neocon filth, Bill Kristol, is ecstatic, alongside McCain, Hillary, Tim Kaine, and all of the establishment war mongers that Trump, allegedly, eschewed.

If Pres. Trump takes appropriate action against Assad this #NeverTrumper will of course support him. He's the president, not merely "Trump."

And lastly, sagely advice by Dr. Farkas, Trump’s new bestie.

Strikes=good punitive move. But same babies=refugees. Nxt moves should include merciful granting of visas. @realDonaldTrump @HardballChris https://t.co/DNSiT686zt

Stocks are slightly lower, off by 30. Defense stocks, like $GD, $OA, and $RTN, are higher — in addition to gold shares and bonds. I am 100% long $TLT aka The Ark. We’re gonna try this again.
