Tucker Carlson Now Advocates Iran Should Have Nuclear Weapons to Counter Israel

What was said

"The mutually assured destruction principle, which as ugly as it sounds, is real. It's absolutely real. What you don't want is a nation that feels no constraints whatsoever, that feels it can do whatever it wants... you could still make the case on a pragmatic basis that, look at the effects, look at the effects, they are less bad than this."

In a dramatic shift from his 2017 position warning about Islamic terrorism, Tucker Carlson now argues Iran should be allowed to develop nuclear weapons as a counterbalance to what he implies is Israeli unconstrained power. Shapiro presents this as evidence of the 'new left' or 'woke right' aligning with Obama's third-worldist foreign policy views.
