Fox's Tucker Carlson on Iran: "Who's benefiting from this?"

https://www.newsweek.com/tucker-carlson-iran-war-trump-soleimani-1480413?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=Facebook&fbclid=IwAR3PAPsU54yoiH-5kQHVAUX6wEch9PJEwa4Xfp4M9yMYJSpIub_Wp--edpM#Echobox=1578157093

TUCKER CARLSON CRITICIZES DONALD TRUMP FOR RISKING WAR BY KILLING IRAN GENERAL: 'WHO'S ACTUALLY BENEFITING FROM THIS?'

Carlson questioned whether Iran was actually an imminent threat and accused the administration of ignoring other questions posed by the American people.

"Is Iran really the greatest threat we face? And who's actually benefiting from this? And why are we continuing to ignore the decline of our own country in favor of jumping into another quagmire from which there is no obvious exit? If we're still in Afghanistan 19 years later, what makes us think there's a quick way out of Iran?"

It is why he brought Tulsi Gabbard on because he says he is an anti interventionist (I don't believe a word he says as he is a propagandist).

In any case he is a white nationalist.
