Comment by Geoffrey Churchman: Tucker Carlson and Megyn Kelly are both in the libertarian a.k.a. MAGA faction of the Republican Party, but have been most unhappy by the Trump administration continung the Blinken-Biden (effectively Obama/Clinton) foreign policy. They are pleased that Trump is at least honest about Venezuela — it’s all about stealing their oil — but most unhappy with the attitude that it’s OK to kill people you don’t like or want to steal from — that makes you a gangster state like Ukraine is.
But the big question is what happens now. Senator Rand Paul has previously warned that if the Trump administration moves into Venezuela and Iran then the MAGA faction will disolve. Will that now happen?
The arrest of Nicolas Maduro was a turning point in U.S. history. Gone are the days of Washington pretending America is a mere republic, focused solely on “democracy” and liberating oppressed peoples. We’ve entered an era of empire.
What does this mean for our country’s future? Should the public embrace this new attitude, or is there reason for pause?
Megyn Kelly is one of the best people to ask, and she joined last night’s live broadcast of The Tucker Carlson Show to discuss where the Caracas attack will lead, Candace Owens and Erika Kirk’s meeting, the importance of standing up to bullies like Ben Shapiro, and more. Watch here.
Is Venezuela Priming Us for a Global War?
Donald Trump’s call for a $1.5 trillion defense budget is a clear sign that he’s expecting a global conflict.
How should the United States prepare? By completely rethinking its international relationships. As an enemy of the two other most powerful nuclear nations, America is positioned poorly for a world war. But improving relations with Russia would change that.
Yes, we know permanent Washington views Vladimir Putin as a very bad man, but their anti-imperialist dogma is hard to take seriously after Saturday’s Venezuela raid. They should support a functional partnership between the U.S. and the Russians. It would make our country safer.
Tucker’s monologue broke down the importance of ending the establishment’s hysterical Russophobia and more. Watch here.
