This fella was speaking on CNBC.
Mark Little can be prone to waffle and he has been far too prone to a benign interpretation of the forces driving MAGA but he is worth a listen on the direction of this war.
He talks about the “war of the flea”. ie. a war fought with endless cheap drones against US and Israeli missile power, which costs astronomical amounts of money but is finite.
This is a great post, top class analysis.
Watching the clip, it’s kinda unbelievable how shit she is.
And yet it’s so obvious. This stuff is staring the liberal political powerbrokers in the west in the face and they’re totally paralysed.
This war does one major thing in US politics - it makes it harder for Trump to go again and rig the 2028 elections because events, dear boy, events.
Boris Johnson looked impregnable in 2021 and another Tory term in 2024 looked all but assured. And then, almost without warning, the whole show collapsed and people actually did turn on the Tories.
MAGA is splitting. The split is still in its early stages. But the anti-Semites are going to be in the ascendant.
What you’ll probably have in 2028 is the Democrats will put up Newsom or some other milquetoast candidate who is pro-Israel.
So you’ll have both the Republicans and the Democrats, and the people who would normally be expected to vote for each, split over Israel and this war.
Carlson will be an insurgent both in the Republican party and in the political system in general. Newsom or Democratic candidate X will be the establishment candidate pushing the stock slogans about Israel having a right to exist and a right to defend itself and being the only democracy in the Middle East and being a beacon and so much other bullshit. Newsom has imagined his campaign around Vance being his opponent. But Vance will be toast by then, destroyed, humiliated and spat out by Carlson.
And Carlson will easily dismantle this bullshit and humiliate Newsom or Democratic candidate X, and win the US presidency.
The Democratic base who rightly despise Israel will be far easier to get to switch their vote on this issue than evangelical or Republican voters who support Israel or the dumb as rock MAGAbots.
And Carlson winning will mean all the other sweeping Nazi insanity that goes with Carlson will win too.
Once in power, Carlson will do fuck all about Israel, but, he WILL legitimise hatred of Jews, and ramp up the white supremacist, anti-Europe, pro-Putin, anti-democracy, anti-women, anti-LBGT bullshit to 100.
That’s if Carlson is not shot by Israel first. And he might well be.
You’re over estimating the importance of Israel to the average yank.
They’ll shoot Tucker Carlson dead before the Year is out.
As i posted back in September, none of this is random… we’ve been engaged in a world war for a few years now.
And as i stated last week, the iran conflict could drag on years if the aim is to completely neutralise their rockets and the regime.
In 2008 Barack Obama won the Democratic nomination and the presidency by being the “if I win, we will pull out of Iraq” candidate.
Iraq was the main issue in that election.
In 2016 Trump won the Republican nomination by lying that he was the “no more foreign wars” candidate.
Iraq was the main issue in the 2016 Reoublican primary. It was the main vehicle for Trump winning.
By 2028, far sooner than that, probably within a couple weeks actually, this war will be universally seen as the total insanity it is.
The economic effects of this war are going to be far and wide.
In 2028, Tucker Carlson would win the Republican nomination and the presidency by being the “no more foreign wars candidate”.
Tucker Carlson has one very convenient target of blame for getting the US into another insane foreign war under Trump. Israel. It was Israel’s fault.
Israel becomes the enemy. And Jews become the enemy, because the real reason Tucker Carlson and the Nazi MAGA groyper cult hate Israel is because they hate Jews.
And damn well sure Americans will vote on the issue of Israel. Because Israel controlling the US like a puppet will be the issue.
This interview could be referenced in history books in 50 years
The average yank doesnt vote in the primary’s,thats the problem.By the time the average yank goes to vote hes stuck with some right winger or left winger.Centrist politicians havent a hope of getting through the primarys because they arent extreme enough to primary voters.Think of primary voters being Sid on the (D) side and Lebane on the (R) side.Thats why the is fucked atm.
You honestly think the likes of Biden, Clinton etc are left wing?
Yeah apparently what the US needs now is some Bill Maher-approved wet fish “centrist” who spouts the usual pro-Israel cliches and who’ll do the square root of fuck all to improve things.
BOTH SIDES are to blame of course. Those who oppose war, racism, bigotry and kleptocracy, and those who support it.
You’re some stook
Israel were never on the hook for provoking the 9/11 attacks against America.
Americans don’t think in 3d.
They’ll escape the blame for Trump’s Iran brainfart once the dust settles.
Iran are striking the city which houses Israel’s nuclear programme.
Uh oh.
Contains video:
Surely the vast vast majority of Americans don’t give two fiddler’s fucks about Israel or this war with Iran?
Bill is dead to me now,due to his stance on Israel.
What’s your rationale for saying that?
Correct. Most couldn’t find the Middle East on a map let alone Israel. Jewish Americans would care, but they’re less than 2% of the population, and I’d say half of them don’t care about Israel either. The only thing that will get Americans interested is if gas and energy prices skyrocket. Gas is still below $4 a gallon.
They’re always painted as really insular and just interested in their own pocket. That was always given as the reason trump won.
