    Tucker Carlson is calling on the U.S. military and people close to Trump to either resign or take away the nuclear codes from Trump.

    https://t.me/Middle_East_Spectator/30513

    If I’m being honest, this statement by Carlson is what I find the most concerning of all the talk of a potential nuclear strike. Carlson almost definitely has CIA contacts if he himself isn’t already explicitly a CIA asset.

    This signals to me a genuine potential for Trump to be insane enough to authorize a nuclear strike. If anyone were to be made aware of it, I’d suspect it would be Carlson.

      Man, I would not want to be Tucker Carlson right now.

      An actually intelligent (though still evil) man in Washington with a vested interest in keeping things in order surrounded by bumbling lunatics that are unwittingly destroying everything they’re fighting for because they have no idea how to preserve it.

      Bro must be under intense stress watching everything he worked for get taken down by his own allies’ incompetence.

      RIP bozo - should’ve picked the right side of history. 😂

        I genuinely think Tucker Carlson will be the next or after the next US president.

        He’s unquestionably the most competent fascist in the US, and he is able to rhetorically run circles around any Dem. He was able to pivot against zionism earlier then any “progressive” so he’ll have a boost to his popularity compared to any opposition.

        Genuinely, I see him as the most dangerous figure towards any leftward organization in the US.

          Oh for sure.

          Trump & co. are too self-destructive. They’ll inevitably destroy themselves.

          Carlson & co. have always been the real threat. They’re the truly scary fascists.

        Tucker Carlson sounds more sane than most US politicians, including Democrats, because he has a degree of liberty to mirror where many in the conservative base are at, both in terms of nativist nationalist positions but also the genuine economic discontent. He is a weathervane.

      I agree. This is scary. Carlson represents a rival wing of capital to that of Trump. Their concern over the latest threats lends credence to the talk about nuclear weapon use.

        That’s what I’m thinking. Carlson is the financial, industrial, old media capital faction which is at odds with the techno-capital faction with the “move fast and break things” mantra and the virtualization-poisoned brain which I think might be even more important toxic than financial abstractions.

        I can absolutely see the tech bros pushing for nukes under the mentality that they can fix it with a patch in the next update and what’s a bunch of NPCs worth anyway when they don’t even produce SaaS let alone their own a.i. models.
